After serving 49 years and two months behind bars, Peltier is now in home confinement on the Turtle Mountain Reservation. His release followed a grant of clemency from President Joe Biden, who signed the order as one of his final official acts in office.
Peltier, 81, is the special guest on today’s “Native Bidaské” with Levi Rickert, publisher and editor of Native News Online, where he reflects on his return home and discusses his health.
Rickert also asks Peltier about the upcoming America 250 anniversary commemorating the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Peltier discusses why he will not be celebrating the anniversary. Peltier also weighs in on ICE agents harassing Native Americans around the country.
