056 Leonard Peltier - One Minute History

The video discusses the involvement of the American Indian Movement (AIM) and Leonard Peltier in supporting traditional tribal people. It details the events of June 26, 1975, when a shootout occurred at Jumping Bull Ranch, resulting in the deaths of two FBI agents and a tribe member. Despite many participants, only three men were charged, with Leonard Peltier being convicted and sentenced to life in prison. His conviction was based on coerced witnesses and withheld evidence. Peltier and his supporters continue to fight for his release, with a parole hearing scheduled for July 2024.
