In this episode of the 7th Generation Podcast, Dr. B takes a critical look at the documentary Vow of Silence: The Assassination of Annie Mae and its impact on Leonard Peltier’s case for clemency. After 50 years in prison, Leonard remains a symbol of Indigenous resistance and a victim of systemic injustice.
This episode explores:
• How Vow of Silence portrays Leonard Peltier and the potential harm it does to his clemency efforts.
• The FBI’s COINTELPRO program and its devastating impact on the American Indian Movement (AIM).
• The role of FBI Agent David Price, who is unjustly cast in a positive light despite threatening Myrtle Poor Bear to secure false testimony against Leonard.
• The FBI’s responsibility in Anna Mae Aquash’s murder and their failure to act despite knowing about her death.
• The pain felt by Anna Mae’s community and how to honor her legacy while advocating for Leonard’s release.
Leonard Peltier’s continued imprisonment is an injustice that reflects the broader struggles of Indigenous communities. It’s time to demand compassion and clemency for Leonard while holding the systems that failed Anna Mae accountable.
