Prison Writings: My Life Is My Sun Dance by Leonard Peltier

5.0

Peltier shares his life experiences with honesty and authenticity. Sometimes it's unfathomably heartbreaking— sometimes he's just an old grandfather locked up in a cage, sometimes it's profoundly inspiring— sometimes he's a visionary warrior. Ultimately, he identifies being an America Indian as the only crime to which he pleads fully guilty. There was much I didn't know about the AIM Movement and the events that led to his arrest and conviction. This book provides the jailbird's-eye view, and sheds a glaring light on the injustices that continue to be perpetrated against American Indians in the USA.
