The FBI unexpectedly wrote back. It sent over a statement saying it strongly opposes clemency for Peltier:<\/p>\n<p>The FBI remains resolute against the commutation of Leonard Peltier\u2019s sentence for murdering FBI Special Agents Jack Coler and Ronald Williams at South Dakota\u2019s Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in 1975.<br \/>\nWe must never forget or put aside that Peltier intentionally and mercilessly murdered these two young men and has never expressed remorse for his ruthless actions.<br \/>\nPeltier\u2019s conviction, rightly and fairly obtained, still stands, and has withstood numerous appeals to multiple courts, including the U.S. Supreme Court. No amount of prison time changes the facts surrounding Coler and Williams\u2019 deaths and<br \/>\ncommuting Peltier\u2019s sentence now would only serve to diminish the brutality of his crime and the suffering of their surviving families and the FBI family.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.huffpost.com\/entry\/fbi-leonard-peltier-clemency-biden_n_62473d07e4b0587dee695e6e?utm_campaign=share_facebook&amp;ncid=engmodushpmg00000003&amp;fbclid=IwAR0cZOH1AWPSk8Su2w57lnjVc1ymVnkvwJ1NUotbbxR71D-io0jeQqauVVU\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>link for the report and video<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h3><strong>april 8, 2022<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-2856\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nativeamericanacademy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/2022-04-08-walk-in-peace-for-leonard-232x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"294\" height=\"380\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nativeamericanacademy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/2022-04-08-walk-in-peace-for-leonard-232x300.jpg 232w, https:\/\/www.nativeamericanacademy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/2022-04-08-walk-in-peace-for-leonard.jpg 526w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 294px) 100vw, 294px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Global Peace Walk &#8211; 28th Aniversary<\/p>\n<h3><strong>march 21, 2022<\/strong><\/h3>\n<div class=\"\" dir=\"auto\">\n<div id=\"jsc_c_122\" class=\"ecm0bbzt hv4rvrfc ihqw7lf3 dati1w0a\" data-ad-comet-preview=\"message\" data-ad-preview=\"message\">\n<div class=\"j83agx80 cbu4d94t ew0dbk1b irj2b8pg\">\n<div class=\"qzhwtbm6 knvmm38d\">\n<div class=\"kvgmc6g5 cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql ii04i59q\">\n<div dir=\"auto\">Yesterday our prison visit with Leonard Peltier was monumental and very uplifting and sad at the same time!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql o9v6fnle ii04i59q\">\n<div dir=\"auto\">Leonard came out with a smile and he looked good after surviving COVID-19! Like most prisoners he was left to fend for himself as he battled the sickness! He was left without water for 4 days! The water out of fountain is not drinkable and orange in color! Leonard was not put inside a medical unit even though he has several \u201chealth risks\u201d and is an elder! We are so thankful he survived Covid!

Let\u2019s not forget he still has a aortic aneurysm and waiting to see medical doctors to evaluate his health.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql o9v6fnle ii04i59q\">\n<div dir=\"auto\">His message to the Oyate (people) is to continue voicing and writing about the atrocities and illegal activities of the federal government concerning his case!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql o9v6fnle ii04i59q\">\n<div dir=\"auto\">We need all the supporters to contact the White House\u2019s President Biden to release Leonard!

know how to open this letter to everyone.<br \/>\nYes i heard the loser did not sign my clemency, i had this strong feeling yesterday that I wasn&#8217;t going to get it, i don&#8217;t know why i had it,? I guess it was the spirits telling me so i sat down trying to write you all a letter but my tears of self pity must have overwhelmed me as i could not see to finish it so i had to stop for a while, thought about my family friends and people&#8217;s how it must be for them too . so i pulled myself together. and thought to myself well I&#8217;m not going to give up.<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s been a hard 45 yrs, and it will get a lot harder I&#8217;m sure as I aged and in the moments when hopelessness over takes me, but at my age all i can do is ask so many of you to stay with me and let&#8217;s try again. b\/cuz we have the only weapon we can use and that&#8217;s the constitution and the laws of this so called free democracy EQUAL JUSTICE FOR ALL, and must get everyone to know what the laws was that they violated not just the lawyers, But what a joke that is,!! IT HAS never has been this way for my people. and more then likely will never be. BUT I welcome all who will stay with me and fight on until i take my last breath.<br \/>\nThank you.

The last cellie they put in my cell was a snitch who snitched on his own son, and all he did was ask me about my case.\u201d This means that Leonard will be moved into the general population rather than staying in a medical\/elders unit.<\/p>\n<p>Here is what we would like you to do; Please send letters asking that Coleman I maintain the Elder &amp; medical care unit for Leonard Peltier and other elder &amp; medical inmates.<\/p>\n<p>We would like your email, letter or fax to include the following points<\/p>\n<p>1) Closing the Elder and Medical care unit would be disastrous to the physical and mental health of the inmates, including Leonard Peltier.<\/p>\n<p>2) As a Level 3 Care facility the Coleman I Elder &amp; Medical Care Unit has inmates with significant health issues. Putting these inmates in the general population places them at significant risk due to the ongoing violence at Coleman I as seen by the six-month lockdown in 2019 and the current lockdown.<\/p>\n<p>3) If you would like to as well personalize Leonard Peltier\u2019s circumstances you could add the following facts<br \/>\na) Leonard Peltier is 76 years old<br \/>\nb) Leonard\u2019s health has had consistent care and monitoring in the unit for his prostate, aortic aneurysm, extreme arthritis in his hip and knee as well as spots on his lung and kidney issues.<\/p>\n<p>Send Letters to:<br \/>\nWarden Roy Cheatham<br \/>\nUSP COLEMAN I<br \/>\nP.O.

As I let my mind wander beyond the steel bars and concrete walls, I try to imagine what the people who live outside the prison gates are doing, and what they are thinking. Do they ever think of the Indigenous people who were forced from their homelands? Do they understand that with every step they take, no matter the direction, that they are walking on stolen land? Can they imagine, even for one minute, what it was like to watch the suffering of the women, the children and babies and yes, the sick and elderly, as they were made to keep pushing west in freezing temperatures, with little or no food?
