More than 250 tribal leaders and Indigenous organizations have signed a letter urging President Joe Biden to grant clemency to Leonard Peltier, citing concerns over his health and fairness in his trial. Peltier, a member of the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa Indians, has been imprisoned for nearly 50 years in connection with the 1975 deaths of two FBI agents on the Pine Ridge Reservation. Advocates emphasize the need for justice and healing in Native communities.
