Ignoring Leonard Peltier
May I contest ms. Brannum's point that to stay on point regarding Wounded Knee they opted to ignore Mr. Peletier and the price he's paid these 30 years for events at wounded Knee. What happened to Mr. Pelitier is precisely the point. The justice department stuck it to the Native American yet another time to teach him alesson even though they later admitted he did not commit a crime. It's so blatant a miscarriage of justice one has to be completely out of it to think it not especially pertinent to the matter of Wounded Knee and what has happened to Native Americans at the hands of White Justice over the years. The producers of this film made a serious error in deliberately failing to alert the American public to this atrocity.
