The short film “GIIWE: Bringing Leonard Peltier Home” will be available for streaming on NDN Collective’s YouTube channel starting June 9th! 📺✊🏽⚡️🪶🔥
Leonard’s homecoming is a shared victory for Indigenous people, built upon decades of advocacy of Indigenous organizers, human rights advocates, political supporters and many other relatives.
NDN Collective’s contribution to the fight to free Leonard Peltier was also years-long and multi-faceted to ensure his safe transition back among the people. We have been honored to join in this fight as one that exemplifies a multi-generational Indigenous resistance that is vast, dynamic, and enduring.
“I’ll forever be grateful for everything the entire team did to support my freedom,” Leonard shared with us. “I’m honored that NDN Collective did this for me and that they keep fighting for Indigenous and human rights everywhere. I love all of you!”

“GIIWE: Bringing Leonard Peltier Home” is a film that underscores the importance of generations of organizing, activism, philanthropy, power building, and narrative change in the effort to bring Leonard home—not only on his terms but also for all Indigenous people who are fighting similar battles against the system, and to inspire and encourage our relatives and all people across Turtle Island and beyond to exercise our inherent right to self-determination.
