Handcuffed at the defense table, Rodney Hinton Jr. stood under the glare of courthouse lights as if on display. Uniformed officers surrounded him like an armored wall—dozens of deputies lining the walls of the courtroom behind him.

A Spirit Unbroken, A Nation Inspired as Leonard Peltier Comes Home
For nearly half a century, Peltier was held captive by a system that sought to silence him, to make an example of him, to break him. But the spirit of the warrior cannot be caged. Despite the injustice, the suffering, and the decades of waiting, his heart remained tethered to the land, his people, and the ancestors who walked before him.
