* Where are the FBI Files Relating to Myrtle Poor Bear? *
In 1976, American Indian Movement (AIM) activist, Leonard Peltier,
was extradited from Canada to the United States to stand trial
for the shooting deaths of FBI Special Agents Jack R. Coler and
Ronald A. Williams that occurred at the Pine Ridge Reservation in
South Dakota on June 26, 1975. Peltier was extradited back to the
United States based in large part on the affidavits of Myrtle Poor
Bear. Read an update by Peltier Attorney Mike Kuzma:

* Program Note *
On December 4th, 2002 , the Cambridge Democratic City Committee
(CDCC) passed a unanimous resolution to free Leonard Peltier. The
presentation, regarding his innocence, made by Amnesty International,
will be broadcast, beginning on Friday, January 2nd at 10 pm on
CCTV/Channel 10, Cambridge, MA. This matter will be placed before
the Cambridge City Council in the near future. It is hoped that the
Council will follow suit and pass a resolution calling for justice
for Leonard Peltier.
* Parole Letters *
Write your letter in support for Leonard's
bid for parole. A sample letter can be found at
<http://www.FreePeltierNow.org/java/parole.htm>.  Please note that
a personal letter is likely more effective, so we encourage you to
adapt the sample letter, as needed.
Mail your letter to:
