TURTLE MOUNTAIN, North Dakota -- Leonard Peltier spoke on the need for protecting the Treaties, standing in unity, and encouraged changing the name of the American Indian Movement to the American Indigenous Movement, in an interview with AIM Twin Cities Minnesota today.

"We're not Indians. We're not from India. What I would like to do, and I've thought about it for a number of years now, laying in my cell, that we should change our name to what we really are, the American Indigenous Movement."

BELCOURT, North Dakota -- Leonard Peltier was honored with an Eagle Staff, Star Quilt and Drum Song, as he was welcomed home to Turtle Mountain. Deeply moved by the support, Peltier described how they tried to kill him in prison, and how he survived during his long struggle for justice.

"I spent 49 years straight in prison for something that I didn't do, and was not really legally convicted of," Peltier said, speaking at the Sky Dancer Casino in Belcourt, a day after his release from federal prison.
