Breaking News update:

Navajo Nation Council committees said the Navajo Council was never consulted and never approved the secret agreement with Energy Fuels for uranium transport, which was carried out by Navajo President Buu Nygren and the tribe's attorneys.

Free Leonard Peltier A Film For the People

By Brenda Norrell, Censored News, Feb. 11, 2025

Upcoming screenings: https://freeleonardfilm.com/screenings/

"Free Leonard Peltier" begins in Leavenworth. And with the sound of the metal crash of the prison door behind him, there is the sound of the passage of time, years and years of time.

Free Leonard Peltier tells the long story, back from the beginning, of the injustice, the police beatings, lives stolen in boarding schools, and the 68 murders on Pine Ridge. It tells the story of the soft-spoken Leonard Peltier.

The images, from Alcatraz to the BIA takeover in Washington, to the Jumping Bull Camp, tell the story of those who were there and have always known what happened.

The film reveals one of the longest-running secrets in Indian country.
