Indigenous Space and Decolonizing Prison Abolition

March 31st, 2019 by

This week, we feature two interviews. The first is a conversation with someone from Ni Frontiers Ni Prison, which is a group in so called Canada that is resisting the proposed construction of a new migrant prison in Laval, a town just outside of Montreal and working to decolonize prison abolition. Then, you’ll hear an interview with Robert Free, a long-time activist of the Tewa Nation living in so-called Seattle, about the fishing wars, Alcatraz and Fort Lawton occupations engaged by indigenous activists in the late 1960’s and early 1970’s on the west coast of Turtle Island.
