“Leonard
Peltier’s Walk to Justice” is a spiritual walk to seek Elder Leonard
Peltier’s immediate release from the U.S. Prison System. Beginning on
September 1, 2022 the AIMGGC will lead a prayerful walk from
Minneapolis, Minnesota to Washington, D.C. to advocate and meet with
government officials to see the release of Leonard Peltier from the U.S.
Federal Prison System. All relatives, supporters, and allies are
invited to help carry this prayer for Elder Leonard Peltier to the
system who continues to imprison a piece of all American Indian peoples
and demand accountability from an unjust justice system.
Elder
Leonard Peltier has been unjustly held as a Native American political
prisoner by the U.S. Government for over 46 years. He was wrongly
convicted on the basis of proven evidence tampering, coerced
testimonies, and an unjust trial. He has been separated from his family,
held absent from his traditional communities across Turtle Island and
robbed of 46 years of life. Elder Peltier has severe chronic health
problems and suffers from serious health conditions, including
progressing diabetes and an abdominal aortic aneurysm that is lethal if
ruptured. The U.S. is continuing to hold onto a trial that has gone down
in history as one of the worst injustices of the century. The facts are
simple, Elder Peltier’s trial was criminally unjust and it is time for
the U.S. to do what is right for Elder Leonard Peltier. The reality is
that if Elder Peltier’s case were to go to retrial, the tactics the U.S.
convicted him on would be exposed to the world.
As we prepare to
carry this prayer for Elder Leonard Peltier to Washington D.C. we are
seeking support along the route of the walk. There are many ways to
support the walk including sharing posts to raise awareness,
volunteering at events, hosting feasts for the walkers, offering safe
places to stay along the route, committing to walking any distance or
time, donating supplies, and monetary donations. To make a monetary
