Peltier is “Home,” but He is Still Not “Free!”

By Bob Brown, Organizer

Leonard Peltier celebrated his 81^st birthday with his family and supporters on Friday, September 12, 2025, in his “home” on the Turtle Mountain Band of the Chippewa Nation in Bell Court, North Dakota. As he made clear this is an independent Nation, an Indigenous Nation, not a “reservation;” and he is Indigenous, not Indian. He also made clear that his supporters paid for his modest “home,” not the

U.S. government, nor the Chippewa Nation, which cannot afford to give him one, while others go homeless.

The next day, on Saturday, September 13, 2025, Leonard participated in an exclusive, history- making, one-hour interview with Amy Goodman and Democracy Now! This interview is titled: I'm Not Going to Give Up": Leonard Peltier on Indigenous Rights, His Half Century in Prison & More

As Peltier made clear, Biden “took” Peltier out of a prison cell in Coleman, Florida, at the last “constitutional” minute, and “resentenced” him to a different type of prison cell: “home confinement, for life and for free” in Bell Court, North Dakota. His liberty is still restricted. His human rights are still abridged. He must call “his handler” in Washington D.C. to request permission to do the simplest, most human of things. He must request permission to go to his doctor to reclaim the 80% of his vision that was stolen. He must also request permission to go to New York to exhibit his paintings, the product of 49 years and two months of his unjust imprisonment.

Peltier is a political prisoner: an Indigenous activist, a Movement artist. He spent 49 years and two months of his life in a U.S. prison cell; perhaps the longest time spent in history. Mandela, one of Peltier’s supporters, only spent 27 years in prison, 18 of them on Robben Island. Azanian (South African) People are still not free. Why is Elon Musk the richest person in the world, in the new apartheid, in the new Jim Crow?

I was very happy to see and hear Peltier at “home,” without bars, a prison uniform, or chains. I was even happier to hear him say that he will never give up, never sell out for a mansion, for chump change or tribute pennies. Peltier has earned and deserves our continued support! All our political prisoners world-wide deserve to be released immediately.
