“I Love My Culture”: Leonard Peltier on His Life and Art (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Leonard Peltier spent nearly half a century in prison. A celebrated indigenous activist, Peltier was involved in a 1975 shootout on the Lakota Indian Reservation in Pine Ridge in which two FBI agents were killed.
