OAKLAND, Calif. - A community search is underway in Oakland to try to find a U-Haul truck that was stolen last week. Inside that truck was a monumental sculpture representing imprisoned Native American activist Leonard Peltier. Peltier, 78, has spent most of his life in prison, and for many years his conviction has garnered worldwide support for his release. In 2011, artist Rigo 23 constructed a 12-foot statue of Peltier, depicting him sitting, calling attention to his imprisonment. The status has been exhibited in museums across the country.
