This T-shirt protests the imprisonment of Leonard Peltier, the person illustrated above, who is a Native American activist charged in the shooting of two FBI agents at Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota, 1975. The shirt is sponsored by Anishinabe Akeeng, which is an organization that aims to regain reservation lands lost to tax-forfeiture and theft. Peltier has numerous standing appeals to his innocence, has gained international support from leaders like Nelson Mandela and Rigoberta Menchu, and is currently serving a prison sentence that ends in 2040.
