PELTIER AND 25 YEARS

Dear Supporters:   

April 30, 2025 marks twenty-five years since the creation of the No Parol Peltier Association and its companion website. The original mission has not ended; to honor the memory and sacrifice of FBI Agents Jack Coler and Ron Williams, who were first subject to an unprovoked attack by AIM cowards (https://shorturl.at/n7GNk) on the Jumping Bull farm and then brutally murdered by Leonard Peltier ( https://shorturl.at/fyMIF ). 

The second goal was successful; Peltier was never paroled. 

Peltier is now under house confinement at Tuttle Mountain for the remainder of his consecutive life sentences and the additional seven consecutive years for an armed prison escape. He will serve his last days wandering around in something larger than a concrete prison cell. Nevertheless, he is confined. 

The gift that kept giving:

On February 18, 2025, the day Peltier was released from USP Coleman, he was made aware that due to a fortunate circumstance, he should have been released in January 2001. As it turned out, his further opportunities for release faded and became twenty-four (24) more years, an additional 289 more months where he rightfully remained behind bars          https://wwwnoparolepeltiercom-justice.blogspot.com/2025/02/

Following Peltier’s release there was a flurry of media coverage that has since dwindled to virtually nothing. The media and Native America have had their fill of the decades of Peltier’s fabrications, lies and feigned innocence. Peltier is fading fast, his time as a counterfeit political prisoner is evaporating. He has been subdued by his own myth. 

There was one recent article that nicely described the late 1800’s technique of wet plate photography with some photos of Peltier. The article was more about the photographic technique of capturing striking images of Native Americans, than Peltier. The author, Levi Rickert (who did not respond to an email), apparently lost his dictionary by falsely labeling Peltier a ‘Native American Icon.’ An Icon? Really? Peltier was not, and never will be a person regarded as a representative symbol or worthy of veneration. Rickert also claimed Peltier was ‘wrongfully convicted’ proving that he isn’t capable to doing simple basic research either. In the long run, Peltier will be relegated to no more than a footnote in Native American history, if that. 

The wet plate photos showed Peltier as what he really is, an unrepentant wrinkled old felon counting what days he may have left, since his best forty-nine years are left far behind https://shorturl.at/G2NLl  (last accessed 4/23/2025). 

 

Back in the day, this imaginary warrior stuck a gun in a young native woman’s mouth. No one will ever forget Peltier’s brutal and cowardly act that later became an element to her execution by other AIM cowards. Anna Mae paid the ultimate price even though history has proven she was still a loyal AIM member. (More on Anna Mae and AIM attorney Bruce “I’ll take the Fifth” Ellison https://shorturl.at/aq3rA)

 

The NPPA will remain online as an historical resource of the entire pathetic Peltier saga and will continue to honor the sacrifice of FBI Agents Jack Coler and Ron Williams. A podcast is available that provides some irrefutable facts of that fateful day, June 26, 1975, https://shorturl.at/ucOYq  (Last accessed 4/28/2025)
