History

Black and white poster contains a portrait drawing of Leonard Peltier. A quote at center left by Peltier reads, "to the people / who struggle / for their freedom, / i embrace you / and send you / my love / and strength." Small text at lower right reads, "Leonard Peltier, a Chippewa Sioux is a prisoner of war. His 'crimes' are those of defending his people and their land, and attempting to free himself from imprisonment by a system that has been oppressing his people for over hour hundred years." Text below the image reads, "this reproduction was purchased as an act of support for the Leonard Peltier Defense Committee."
