No Parole Peltier Association (NPPA)
Twenty Years Later

“In the spirit of Coler and Williams”
April 3rd 2000 marked a significant date in the saga of convicted murderer Leonard Peltier.
On that day there was a chance meeting with FBI Agent Coler’s son. Paul was but one and a half when his father, Special Agent Jack R. Coler was brutally murdered along with his partner, Ronald A. Williams, in a desolate corner of the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, South Dakota on June 26, 1975.
The brief encounter led to a greater interest in Leonard Peltier and that evening an Internet search revealed a host of websites and references demanding the parole, pardon or clemency of political prisoner Leonard Peltier.
