Leonard Peltier, a prominent Native American activist, was released from a Florida prison on Tuesday after serving decades for the 1975 killings of two FBI agents. Peltier, now 80 years old, is set to return to his North Dakota community, where supporters are eagerly awaiting his arrival.
The welcome event is scheduled to take place at an events center in Belcourt, North Dakota, located on the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa Indians' reservation. Peltier's attorneys expressed their excitement for his release, noting that he is in good spirits and has the soul of a warrior.
