In a maximum-security prison in Coleman, Florida, a 71-year-old Native man sits at an easel painting. His back hurts so much it's hard for him to walk. He needs someone to help support him for the first few steps. Squinting through reading glasses, he carefully applies paint to the canvas and slowly pictures of Lakota warriors and elders and scenes from his people's history come to life. The artist's name is Leonard Peltier and in his mind the paintings are a door to the outside world, the world of free men, into which his creativity can escape from nearly 40 years of incarceration.

But not if the FBI can help it.
