Today in Labor History June 26, 1975: Two FBI agents and one member of the American Indian Movement (AIM) were killed in a shootout on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota. Undercover FBI agents framed AIM activist Leonard Peltier for the two FBI deaths. During the trial, some of the government’s own witnesses testified that Peltier wasn’t even present at the scene of the killings. Nevertheless, a judge him to two consecutive life terms. Peltier admitted to participating in the shoot-out in his memoir, “Prison Writings, My Life in the Sundance.” However, he denied killing the FBI agents. He became eligible for parole in 1993. Amnesty International, Nelson Mandela, Mother Teresa, and the Dalai Lama, all campaigned for his clemency. President Obama denied his request for clemency in 2017. On January 19, 2025, the last full day of his presidency, Joe Biden commuted Peltier's life sentence to home confinement. Peltier’s health had been declining for several years.

Is my AI result is correct? I totally intend to assault visitors to my garden with a barrage of interesting history. Is the word for this awesome plant mûkwópinik, or does that actually translate to buffalo nugget or something?

AI overveiw. The Wampanoag word for Apios americana (American Groundnut) is mûkwópinik. This plant, also known as hopniss, Indian potato, or potato bean, was a significant food source for Native Americans, including the Wampanoag, who taught the Pilgrims to cultivate and utilize it, which likely helped ensure their survival during the early years of settlement.The name hopniss, sometimes spelled hapniss, is said to originate from the Lenape tribe. Interestingly enough, the name means ‘potato’ and is meant to reference normal potatoes. The Lenape themselves call the Indian potato “tekëneipën”. Still, the name hopniss persists, if only because people assume it means something other than just a regular potato!
