Statement on Leonard Peltier’s Clemency and the Case of Annie Mae Aquash
On January 20, 2025, outgoing US President Joe Biden granted clemency to Leonard Peltier, one of the longest held political prisoners in the US. Now 80 years old, Peltier will serve the remainder of his two consecutive life sentences under house arrest on the Turtle Mountain Indian Reservation in Belcourt, North Dakota.
Peltier was imprisoned nearly 5 decades ago, in 1977, for the killing of two FBI agents on the Pine Ridge reservation in South Dakota. Two co-defendants, Bob Robideau and Dino Butler, were found not guilty on the grounds of self-defence in a separate trial. Read the rest of this entry
An Activist Stands Accused of Firing a Gun at Standing Rock. It Belonged to Her Lover — an FBI Informant.
by Will Parrish, The Intercept,
As law enforcement officers advanced in a U-shaped sweep line down North Dakota Highway 1806 last October, pushing back Dakota Access opponents from a camp in the pipeline’s path, two sheriff’s deputies broke formation to tackle a 37-year-old Oglala Sioux woman named Red Fawn Fallis. As Fallis struggled under the weight of her arresting officers, who were attempting to put her in handcuffs, three gunshots allegedly went off alongside her.

The physical evidence soon exposed the claims of a “shootout” that were made by Hanrahan and his men to be blatant lies, and that the murderous reality was that the police fired nearly 100 shots while the Panthers fired but one.
The FBI’s Domestic Counter-Insurgency Campaign (1960s-70s)

The FBI’s infamous Counter-Intelligence Program (COINTEL-PRO) should serve as a chilling reminder of the length to which our enemy will go to crush our resistance. This is especially true since veterans of this time are still with us, & many remain in prison to this day as a result (inc. Leonard Peltier, Mumia Abu-Jamal, etc.).
Many are also dead, killed by the FBI, police, & paramilitaries during the 1960’s & 70’s. Our failure to learn from this time would not only leave us vulnerable to the same tactics, it would be a dishonor to the sacrifices made by the previous generation. Read the rest of this entry
