He was tried and convicted for the deaths of two FBI agents, Jack Coler and Ron Williams, during what has become known as the &#8220;Incident at Oglala.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>On June 26th the previous year, Coler and Williams entered Jumping Bull Ranch, allegedly seeking the arrest of Jimmy Eagle, a young Native American man. Peltier and others had gathered at Jumping Bull Ranch for self-defense against increasing police violence. A shootout ensued, resulting in the deaths of Coler and Williams and a Native American man named Joe Stuntz. <\/p>\n<p>An FBI manhunt lead to the arrest of three AIM members, including Leonard Peltier. In a separate trial, the other two AIM members Dino Butler and Robert Robideau were found not guilty of the crimes. Peltier, on the other hand, was found guilty by an all-white jury. Many believe that he did not receive a fair trail. <\/p>\n<p>Peltier, who has been repeatedly denied parole, has garnered international support as a political prisoner. As we approach the 40th anniversary of his arrest, we examine the latest legal efforts to release him, and the events planned in commemoration. <\/p>\n<p>To find out more visit <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.whoisleonardpeltier.info\" target=\"_blank\">www.whoisleonardpeltier.info<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Change.org petition to demand clemency from President Obama: <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.change.org\/p\/free-leonard-peltier-contact-the-president-to-grant-leonard-peltier-clemency\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.change.org\/p\/free-leonard-peltier-contact-the-president-to-grant-leonard-peltier-clemency<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Events:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>Inglewood, California <\/em><br \/>\nChuco\u2019s Justice Center<br \/>\n1137 E Redondo Blvd.<br \/>\nInglewood, California 90302<br \/>\nFebruary 6 at 2:00-9:00 p.m. (PST)<br \/>\nFacebook: <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/events\/1102023893171939\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/events\/1102023893171939<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><em>San Jose, California<\/em><br \/>\nSaturday 6th February, 2016<br \/>\n6:00p.m. \u2013 8:00p.m.<br \/>\nSchool of Arts and Culture, Mexican Heritage Plaza<br \/>\n1600 Alum Rock Ave.<br \/>\nSan Jose, CA 95116<br \/>\nFor more information, contact Donna Wallach:  FreedomNow4LeonardPeltier@gmail.com; (h) 408-557-8824 or (cell) 408-569-6608.<\/p>\n<p>For other events, visit: <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.whoisleonardpeltier.info\/events\/events-2016-internatl-day-of-solidarity-with-leonard-peltier\/\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.whoisleonardpeltier.info\/events\/events-2016-internatl-day-of-solidarity-with-leonard-peltier\/<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>GUEST: Corine Fairbanks, Director of the American Indian Movement, Southern California chapter.
