This poster advertises an "International Day of Solidarity with Native American Political Prisoners" in Seattle, with a march from the Federal Courthouse at 5th and Spring to a rally at the First Methodist Church at 5th and Marion. The rally included speeches by Native activists including Yvonne Wanrow, a member of the Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation known for the 1972 trial concerning the shooting death of a man who had attempted to molest her son. The poster lists three afternoon workshops on the topic of indigenous American political prisoners: the Yvonne Wanrow Defense Committee; the Leonard Peltier Defense Committee; and Native Prisoners in Washington State -- Brotherhood of American Indians and Native American Solidarity Committee.
