From fifteen months ago, I reiterate:
Leonard Peltier will die in prison because the war being waged by the United States of America against the tribal peoples of this continent is a spiritual war -- ancient, Manichean, pitiless.
To release my brother Leonard is to admit to the lie.
The lie upon which this abomination has been erected.
Until we confront this reality, all the parole hearings from here to eternity will not free his body.
His great soul, however, soars as an eagle soars.
Hoka Hey!

If an individual, through either his own volition or events over which he had no control, found himself taking up residence in a country undefined by flags or physical borders, he could be assured of one immediate and abiding consequence: He was on his own, and solitude and loneliness would probably be his companions unto the grave.

You can't blame the innocent, they are always guiltless. All you can do is control them or eliminate them. Innocence is a kind of insanity.
