The Minneapolis Star Tribune today runs a column written by author Louise Erdrich, urging the release of imprisoned activist Leonard Peltier.

"Leonard Peltier has paid a terrible price for all that the American Indian Movement was blamed for during the late 1970s," writes Erdrich. "While other AIM leaders have trekked to Hollywood, married, remarried, traveled first-class around the world and reaped the rewards of notoriety, Peltier has paid."

The paper has supported clemency for Peltier.
