00:00There's some firing now.
00:02What do you remember about the shootout?
00:04I felt the bullets going by my head.
00:06This rate, there's surely going to be some blood spilled here.
00:09I want to ask you about the dead agents.
00:12Did you kill them?
00:13No, I did not kill them.
00:16Leonard turned 80 last week.
00:18In a couple of months, he'll begin his 50th year of incarceration.
00:22Native activist Leonard Peltier
00:24is an American Indian accused of murdering two FBI agents.
00:27Do you think that you'll ever be released from prison?
00:30If enough people look at the evidence, yes.
00:36They say we don't have no civil rights.
00:38They're terrorizing these people on the reservation.
00:42The American Indian Movement.
00:44We have found it necessary to force the white man to listen.
00:47That kicked the door open.
00:48We found documents where the government
00:51had tried to illegally buy Indian lands.
00:53It's always because of the land.
00:54The government felt that they were going to use paramilitary forces
00:58and they wanted to be able to shoot to kill.
01:02As a result of that firefight,
01:05two FBI agents died.
01:09They needed to get a man.
01:10The government did so many things wrong.
01:13We want to wake up the little people,
01:14expose the U.S. government and FBI conspiracy.
01:17I came across a teletype
01:19that contradicted the primary piece of evidence.
01:22We want to talk about what this FBI has been doing
01:24and we want to discuss cause and reason.
01:27We only want the white man to live up to his own law.
01:31The feds were saying shoot to kill.
01:35That alone ought to be enough
01:36to make the authorities hang their head in shame.
01:39We're continuing on this battle
01:40because we want to bring Leonard home.
01:42I am someone that's
01:43trying to make a better life for my people.
