1977 — Leonard Peltier was a suspect in the killing of two FBI agents in Pine Ridge, North Dakota and fled to Hinton, Alberta, where he was apprehended by the RCMP on February 6, 1976. Peltier fought his extradition to the United States but lost. In this picture he is being led from Oakalla Prison in Burnaby to a helicopter which took him to Vancouver International Airport and a flight to the United States. Peltier was convicted of the killings but there is much doubt to the fairness of his trial.
