Leonard Peltier says he spent 49 years in prison for something he didn't do.

He was released Tuesday from a Florida prison where he had been serving a life sentence in the 1975 killings of two FBI agents.

"A strong warrior can't be up crying in front of his people," he says.

"I'm so proud of the showing and support you've given me," the 80-year-old says.
