In 1973 the American Indian Movement seized Wounded Knee demanding senate investigations to Indian Problems. It got ugly...ywo Native Americans were killed and several others wounded. Peltier was (if I'm correct) the, if not one the leaders of this and was arrested. Broken promises were again made by our government. So I believe he was making a statement about the mistreatment Native Americans especially Peltier have been subjected to just for fighting for what they believe in.
