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.

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."
