BREAKING! #LeonardPeltier Left Prison on Tuesday Morning

By #BrendaNorrell, #CensoredNews, Feb. 18, 2025

"Leonard Peltier will be welcomed home today, and greeted with signs along the roadway and a community feast. 'In The Honor Of' meal will be held at the Sky Dancer Casino Event Center in
#BelcourtNorthDakota, on February 18th, 2025. The meal will start at 6:00 p.m.
'Let's celebrate Leonard with the honor and glory that he deserves,' Peltier's family said.

"'As Leonard arrives on home to the Turtle Mountains, supporters of Leonard's are welcome to come and join the celebration in giving Leonard a warm welcome home by holding signs, honking, cheering and clapping with cars lined up starting from the reservation line coming from Rolla stretching into Belcourt. Please stay safe, no standing on the highway and stay on the shoulder. Please do not leave any signs behind, take them with you.'

"'As Leonard passes through, we are not allowed to follow him, please respect this. Following Leonard's welcome home at the reservation line everyone is welcome to gather for a meal in the honor of Leonard at the Sky Dancer Casino Event Center for stew, bangs and gullet as this is the first meal that Leonard requested for when he returns home.'

"'We do not know yet as of this post of Leonard's restrictions if he will be able to attend the meal.'

"Leonard is an 80-year-old elder with health problems and his first day of being released after nearly 50 years of incarceration will be a lot for Leonard to comprehend. If Leonard cannot attend, we are trying to set up for him to be on FaceTime or a phone call during the meal.'

"'The exact time of Leonard's arrival to Belcourt is still unknown.'

"'Everyone is welcome to come and celebrate this historical day of honoring our elder Leonard Peltier,' Peltier's family said today.

"Please check back for the livestream on Censored News on Tuesday."
