Summary: A spirit free behind bars
Review: This is one of those very rare books that can change your life forever. I was so rapt by this story that I only put it down once (to sleep) and called in sick to work the next morning in order to finish it.There are many stories of the white man's greed and injustice towards Native Americans, but this is more than just that. It is the story of a man unbowed by years of brutal imprisonment. This man's story transcends race and speaks to the freedom-loving soul in us all. Through his art, writing, political activism, and spirituality Peltier has accomplished more in Federal Prison than most free men do in a lifetime. His courage and determination as a spirit-warrior are undeniable. Reading this book makes it clear that this man's imprisonment does not bring justice to the families of Ron Williams and Jack Coler. Two agents who sadly lost their lives in what can only be described as a tragic and brutal blunder by the FBI. This book proves that there are places in the human psyche that no prison can hold. If this book were required reading for every high-school aged child it would go a long way to repairing America's soul. His life is a lesson to us all. Write to Leonard at:

Summary: Stirring...a must read if you have any compassion
Review: This well written book not only makes you have more compassion for Leonard Peltier, it also boils the blood to know he is still incarcerated for a wrong he has not committed. I could not put this book down once I started reading it. In one day it was finished. It also reminded me of a saying of my generation, "Question Authority." Leonard has in these writings opened his soul and presented the reader with a look into his life as U.S.P. #89637-132. The reading saddened me, but at the same time it stirred emotions of anger. The documented lies that led to his arrest and conviction have done nothing to speed his release. Mr. President, you have the power with the touch of your pen to right this terrible wrong. In the Spirit of Leonard, ho!

Summary: Riveting, compelling, inspritational.
Review: United States Prisoner #89637-132, a hero and a brave man,
full of spirit. Nothing, not even false imprisonment
can take that away from him. This book will bring you to
tears and warm your heart, as does the traditoinal but
improvised sun dance. The miscarriage of justice may
anger you, and my prayers are that enough of the readers
of this book will contact their congressmen, anyone that
will listen, and hopefully free this innocent man. In the
meantime, he lives his life with dignity and shines with
honor. His ancestors would be proud of him.
I read this book in one sitting, as I was unable to put
it down, and neither will you. May God Bless Mr. Leonard
Pelletier and all Native Americans that continue to endure
what the white man has done to all of the Indian tribes!

Summary: Conformity, assimilation, and opression
Review: What the land of the free whoever told you that was your enemy!Since the first spaniar set foot on turtle island this country has never been the same.Manisfest destiny was there excuse, but that just what it was, an excuse.Leornard Peltier is a prime example of the opression that has kept the native americans under the steeled toe boots of the US government.Me bieng part native american myself this book is a huge inspiration to me.It gives me pride for my culture and the strength to fight the racism in our society that i face every day.Peltier has been incarcirated for nearly 25 years and is still as pacient as he was from day one.The governmaent's attitude towards Peltier is one of complacence.They dont care.This book is basically one of the saddest but at the same time most inspirational story's ever written.No matter what race you are this is a must readand hopefully it will open peoples eyes to the corrupt US government.

Summary: While he is a fine writer, I found him non-credible
Review: While this man may have missed his calling in life as a writer, I found him non-credible. Why should we exhault a murderer. How is it that everyone forgets that two FBI agents lost their lives? How is it that we forget that FBI agents do what they do to protect each of us every day? How is it that people want to applaud a man that is a murderer? I am appauled at him and those that think he should be freed. Just because his people were persecuted many years ago, does not mean that he is an innocent man. Do we release every black man that has murdered someone from prison because his ancestors were slaves? Many years ago, the white man did terrible things to indians. These wrongs can NEVER be made right. However, to free a man that has not only killed two men, who had wives and children, but he killed two law enforcement officers who gave their lives so that everyone can be free and safe.

Summary: Free Leonard Peltier
Review: With "My Life is my Sun Dance" Leonard Peltier proves that though his body may be imprisoned... his spirit, his soul still roams free. Though this book did not have the same profound effect on me as either of Mumia Abu-Jamal's prison writings, it does shed light on the mind of a man possesed with the anger of Malcolm X and the compassion of Ghandi. This is a must read for any individual in America (especially "white America") who recognizes the need for revolutionary change as we enter the year 2000.
