INDIGENOUS activist Leonard Peltier will return home, nearly half a century after he was imprisoned for the 1975 killings of two FBI agents.
President Joe Biden commuted Mr Peltier’s sentence Monday, hours before leaving office.
It follows decades of community-led advocacy calling his imprisonment an example of the United States government’s mistreatment of Native Americans.
