In solidarity to all first peoples of Turtle Island
Build your fires and burn your medicines for Peltier’s return home
By Ophelia Rivas, O’odham VOICE Against the WALL
Leonard Peltier is not free yet, I urge you to build your fires and burn your medicines for absolute protection for Leonard until he is safely sitting in front of his fire on his homelands.
We shall not ever trust the people that tortured him all these years. Words on paper historically have not been honored.
“It’s finally over–I’m going home,” said Peltier in response to the news. “I want to show the world I’m a good person with a good heart. I want to help the people, just like my grandmother taught me.”
With just moments left before he left office, Genocide Joe Biden commuted the life sentence of Indigenous activist Leonard Peltier.
The FBI created the image of him as a ruthless killer. As with all defense movements, white settlers try to turn protection fighters into fiends in order to justify the killing, stealing and destroying of Indigenous people and their property. WCG-DC KNOWS that Leonard Peltier is now and always has been an innocent man.
