More than 100 people gathered Jan. 25 on the Pine Ridge Reservation at the site of the June 26, 1975, shootout that left two FBI agents and a Native man dead

The warning comes after the joyous twist of clemency for the Indigenous activist, as shown in a Sundance film premiering Monday

It's the sort of twist no screenwriter would dare invent: "Free Leonard Peltier," a persuasively well-researched and often infuriating documentary about the American Indian Movement activist convicted nearly a half-century ago of killing two FBI agents,

The 11th hour clemency of Leonard Peltier has touched off a wave of joy, but it also brings pain to those who believe he should remain in prison for murder.

Jesse Short Bull and David France's documentary tells Peltier's story all the way through President Joe Biden's commutation.

Biden commuted the life sentence of Indigenous activist Peltier, who was convicted in the 1975 killings of two FBI agents.

The commutation will allow Peltier, who has long maintained his innocence in the killing of two FBI agents, to spend his remaining days in home confinement.

Former President Joe Biden commuted the life sentence of Indigenous activist Leonard Peltier, who had been imprisoned for nearly 50 years, on Jan. 20.

President Biden commuted the prison sentence of Leonard Peltier, an imprisoned Native American rights activist, using his final minutes of presidential power on Monday to free a man who has spent nearly 50 years in federal prison after he was convicted of murder in connection with the killing of two F.B.I. agents.

President Biden said the decision will allow Peltier, an 80-year-old Native American activist, to fulfill the remainder of his sentence from home.

With just moments left before he leaves office, President Joe Biden commuted the sentence of indigenous activist Leonard Peltier, who was convicted in the 1975 killings of two FBI agents and is serving life in prison.

Leonard Peltier has his life sentence commuted by President Biden during one of his last acts in the White House.
