So, I've been thinking a lot about #matriarchy and groups of people. From my own experience, sometimes groups with even the best of intentions can turn into pools of #ToxicMasculinity when males with egos start trying to run things and boss everyone around. I saw that happen with my own coven, when a member of #AIM started having the final say about everything -- often overriding our High Priestess (he was her consort). From what I've read about AIM on a national level (including excerpts from #KleeBenally's book, #NoSpiritualSurrender and #MaryCrowDog's #LakotaWoman), it seems to have been pretty commonplace. So much for Iroquois matriarchy, eh? (The coven-mate in question was Mohawk).

Today in Labor History June 26, 1975: Two FBI agents and one member of the American Indian Movement (AIM) were killed in a shootout on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota. Undercover FBI agents framed AIM activist Leonard Peltier for the two FBI deaths. During the trial, some of the government’s own witnesses testified that Peltier wasn’t even present at the scene of the killings. Nevertheless, a judge him to two consecutive life terms. Peltier admitted to participating in the shoot-out in his memoir, “Prison Writings, My Life in the Sundance.” However, he denied killing the FBI agents. He became eligible for parole in 1993. Amnesty International, Nelson Mandela, Mother Teresa, and the Dalai Lama, all campaigned for his clemency. President Obama denied his request for clemency in 2017. On January 19, 2025, the last full day of his presidency, Joe Biden commuted Peltier's life sentence to home confinement. Peltier’s health had been declining for several years.

Today in Writing History May 22, 1927: Author Peter Matthiessen was born. Matthiessen was an environmental activist and a CIA officer who wrote short stories, novels and nonfiction. He’s the only writer to have won the National Book award in both nonfiction, for The Snow Leopard (1979), and in fiction, for Shadow Country (2008). His story Travelin’ Man was made into the film The Young One (1960) by Luis Bunuel. Perhaps his most famous book was, In the Spirit of Crazy Horse (1983), which tells the story of Leonard Peltier and the FBI’s war on the American Indian Movement. The former governor of South Dakota, Bill Janklow, and David Price, an FBI agent who was at the Wounded Knee assault, both sued Viking Press for libel because of statements in the book. Both lawsuits threatened to undermine free speech and further stifle indigenous rights activism. Fortunately, both lawsuits were dismissed. Peltier spent over 43 years in prison for a crime he did not commit. On January 19, 2025, the last full day of his presidency, Joe Biden commuted Peltier's life sentence to home confinement

Today in Labor History February 27, 1973: 300 Oglala Sioux activists from the American Indian Movement (AIM) liberated and occupied Wounded Knee, South Dakota. This was the site of the infamous Massacre at Wounded Knee (1890). They occupied the site to protest a campaign of terror against them by the FBI, and corrupt tribal officials, and the tribal thugs knowns as GOONs (Guardians of Oglala Nation). The occupation lasted over 2 months, before being quashed by the U.S. government. 3 Native activists were killed. Dennis Banks and Russell Means were indicted for their roll, but charges were later dropped due to prosecutorial misconduct.

Leonard Peltier’s release after 49 years of wrongful imprisonment resonates deeply within anti-colonial struggles, particularly when compared to the systematic incarceration of Palestinians under Israeli military rule. Both cases exemplify how settler-colonial states use imprisonment as a tool of repression against Indigenous resistance.

Peltier, an Anishinaabe-Lakota activist and member of the American Indian Movement (AIM), was convicted in 1977 for the killing of two FBI agents during a 1975 shootout on the Pine Ridge Reservation. His trial was riddled with misconduct, including fabricated evidence, coerced witnesses, and prosecutorial misconduct. The U.S. government made him a political prisoner, punishing him not for any proven crime, but for his role in defending Indigenous sovereignty. His nearly five decades behind bars symbolize the criminalization of Indigenous resistance in North America.

Similarly, Israel systematically imprisons Palestinians, especially those engaged in resistance against occupation. Since 1967, over 800,000 Palestinians—including activists, political leaders, and children—have been detained under military rule. Many are held without charge under "administrative detention," a practice that allows indefinite imprisonment without trial. Just as Peltier was targeted for his role in AIM, Palestinians are arrested for organizing protests, resisting land seizures, or even posting anti-occupation statements online.

Both cases highlight how settler-colonial powers use incarceration to neutralize Indigenous movements. The U.S. government sought to break AIM through the imprisonment of Peltier, just as Israel aims to weaken Palestinian resistance by jailing its leaders and youth. The goal in both cases is not justice, but deterrence—turning prisons into tools of colonial control.

Yet, despite decades of imprisonment, neither Peltier nor Palestinian political prisoners have been silenced. Their struggles continue to inspire movements for decolonization, Indigenous sovereignty, and global solidarity against settler oppression. This is exactly what we seek to unpack in A Red Road to the West Bank—the shared tools of repression used by colonial states and the enduring spirit of resistance that connects Indigenous struggles across continents.

Democracy Now!“¡Por fin soy libre!”: liberan al líder indígena Leonard Peltier después de casi 50 años en prisiónHablamos con el fundador y director ejecutivo de la organización NDN Collective, Nick Tilsen, quien estuvo con el activista indígena Leonard Peltier el lunes 17 de febrero en el momento en que fue liberado, después de casi medio siglo tras las rejas. Tilsen recibió a Peltier cuando salió de la prisión federal de Florida donde se encontraba detenido y lo acompañó a su casa en Dakota del Norte. Peltier siempre se declaró inocente frente a las acusaciones de haber matado a dos oficiales del FBI en 1975, crimen por el que fue condenado a pesar de las inconsistencias en el juicio denunciadas por diferentes organizaciones y activistas. En los últimos días de su Gobierno, el expresidente Joe Biden concedió a Peltier la conmutación de su pena. Peltier cumplirá el resto de su sentencia en prisión domiciliaria en la comunidad de Turtle Mountain, en Dakota del Norte. ¡Hoy por fin soy libre! ¡Puede que me hayan encarcelado, pero nunca se llevaron mi espíritu!, dijo Peltier al ser liberado. “Gracias a todos los que me apoyan en todo el mundo y lucharon por mi libertad”. Tilsen cuenta que verlo salir de prisión fue “una alegría pura y total” y añade que “la liberación de Leonard Peltier es algo que nos conmueve a todos, porque vemos un poco de nosotros mismos en Leonard Peltier”.

BREAKING! #LeonardPeltier Left Prison on Tuesday Morning

By #BrendaNorrell, #CensoredNews, Feb. 18, 2025

"Leonard Peltier will be welcomed home today, and greeted with signs along the roadway and a community feast. 'In The Honor Of' meal will be held at the Sky Dancer Casino Event Center in
#BelcourtNorthDakota, on February 18th, 2025. The meal will start at 6:00 p.m.
'Let's celebrate Leonard with the honor and glory that he deserves,' Peltier's family said.

"'As Leonard arrives on home to the Turtle Mountains, supporters of Leonard's are welcome to come and join the celebration in giving Leonard a warm welcome home by holding signs, honking, cheering and clapping with cars lined up starting from the reservation line coming from Rolla stretching into Belcourt. Please stay safe, no standing on the highway and stay on the shoulder. Please do not leave any signs behind, take them with you.'

"'As Leonard passes through, we are not allowed to follow him, please respect this. Following Leonard's welcome home at the reservation line everyone is welcome to gather for a meal in the honor of Leonard at the Sky Dancer Casino Event Center for stew, bangs and gullet as this is the first meal that Leonard requested for when he returns home.'

"'We do not know yet as of this post of Leonard's restrictions if he will be able to attend the meal.'

"Leonard is an 80-year-old elder with health problems and his first day of being released after nearly 50 years of incarceration will be a lot for Leonard to comprehend. If Leonard cannot attend, we are trying to set up for him to be on FaceTime or a phone call during the meal.'

"'The exact time of Leonard's arrival to Belcourt is still unknown.'

"'Everyone is welcome to come and celebrate this historical day of honoring our elder Leonard Peltier,' Peltier's family said today.

"Please check back for the livestream on Censored News on Tuesday."

So, I am well aware of the controversy surrounding #BuffySainteMarie and her heritage. But whether she is a pretendian (she claims to be adopted, something that's been disputed) or not, a lot of Native Americans accepted her as one of their own, and she had her pulse on what was going on with #AIM...

Buffy's Censored Words Led to Revelations in New #LeonardPeltier Film Premiered at Sundance

"My girlfriend Annie Mae talked about uranium
Her head was filled with bullets and her body dumped
The FBI cut off her hands and told us she'd died of Exposure…"
- Buffy Saint Marie, Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee, 1992.

By #BrendaNorrell, #CensoredNews, Feb. 4, 2025

TSAILE, #NavajoNation -- "The words of Buffy Sainte Marie, censored by Indian Country Today, led to revelations about Oglala President Dick Wilson's secret land deal on Pine Ridge in the new film Free
Leonard Peltier, which premiered at Sundance, producer #JesseShortBull told Censored News.

"Buffy's interview at Dine' College in 1999 was censored for seven years. Before I was fired as a staff reporter, a portion of the interview was published by the newspaper -- but one paragraph was still censored. In the still censored portion, Buffy referred to a secret land deal on the day of the shoot out at the #JumpingBull property on #PineRidge. Buffy said, 'Who recalls that on that day one-eighth of the reservation was transferred in secret -- on that day. It was the part containing uranium. That is what never seems to be remembered.'

"Dickie Wilson planned to turn over the #MineralRights in the Badlands to the U.S. government. The U.S. government wanted the land for uranium mining. Dick Wilson's secret plan was discovered in the documents in the BIA file cabinets by the #AmericanIndianMovement, during the takeover of the #BIA building in Washington in 1972.

"Following the premiere of #FreeLeonardPeltier at the Sundance Film Festival, Jesse Short Bull, Oglala Lakota, and director of the film, reveals how Buffy's words led to the search for the facts about #DickWilson's #UraniumMining scheme with the U.S. government. 'Buffy's song about Anna Mae really shocked me, she outlined it so well,' Short Bull said. 'The plans for mineral development for Pine Ridge were discovered at the 1972 BIA takeover, and by the 1980's the big wig energy companies came to Pine Ridge with big ideas for development."
