Indeed, this work is, among many other things, a repudiation of his guilt and an amassing of reflections that will be used in his defence. The imperative of setting the record straight appears throughout this text, most notably in the final appendix, in which Peltier reproduces his 1977 presentencing statement. This appendix serves as a platform for Peltier to redress the injustices he faced throughout his Fargo trial and in the legal hearings that followed. The manufacturing of evidence, coercion of witnesses, and abuse of authority that he maintains led to his conviction serve as a premise for Peltier’s critique of Euro-American notions of justice.
Consider the following lines written by an Aboriginal female prisoner, Elaine Antone: […] my mind A devious, fool proof scheme Keys can’t lock away my thoughts. Key pushers, keys turn in their locks Reform me!! ). ). Leonard Peltier echoes Antone’s characterization of the prison when he remarks that “prison’s the only university, the only finishing school many young Indian brothers ever see” (67).
