Struggles of the Lakota Nation

Native American activist Leonard Peltier underwent surgery last week at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. Peltier had been suffering for the last four years from a severe condition which caused his jaw to be frozen open 13 millimeters. X-rays taken on Monday, March 20 showed that Leonard Peltier suffered from ankylosis, meaning that his jaw was completely frozen and immobile. Peltier’s doctor reported today that the 5 hour surgery went smoothly and Peltier’s jaw has been returned to normal.
