Another Take: Native American activist Leonard Peltier

Every Saturday, we revisit a story from the archives. This originally aired on November 24, 2023. None of the dates or references from that time have been changed. 

Indigenous activist Leonard Peltier has been in a United States maximum security prison for over 47 years. The US government says he aided in the murder of two FBI agents. But since his trial, allegations of false evidence and coerced testimony have come up. His parole hearing on June 10 might be his last opportunity for freedom.
