From New York, this is Democracy Now.

I imagine living in a cubicle,

larger than some people's closets

for all those years,

and they finally are able to walk out of there.

For me, it was unbelievable that this is actually happening with me. But I mean, the feeling of wow, I think I'll be home.

In a Democracy Now, global TV radio broadcast exclusive, we spend the hour with longtime indigenous leader Leonard Peltier. In February, he was

released from federal prison in Florida after nearly 50 years behind bars for a crime he says

he did not commit. President Biden, on his his final day in office commuted Peltier's

sentence to home confinement. We'll speak to Leonard Peltier about his life of resistance

from attending an Indian boarding school as a child to his years with aim, the American Indian

movement, to his life in prison.

What really kept me strong with my anger.

I was extremely angry about what they did to me and my people.

We go to Leonard Peltier on his 81st birthday on the Turtle Mountain Reservation in Bellcourt, North Dakota, for the hour.

All that and more coming out.
