You're going to. Oh, I'm not. There is a town in North Ontario.

Stream of comfort memory to share. I'm a takiapi. This is your comrade and relative Nick Guestis and you're listening to Red Revolution radio, decolonizing the airwaves from Turtle Island to the world.

On this episode, we speak with Yvonne Swan.

In 1972, Yvonne W Row, now Avon Swan, shot a man who tried to molester's son and neighbor's son in Spokane, Washington.

Her case became a rallying cry for indigenous and feminist activists in the

1970s to highlight the intersections of colonialism, gender violence, and the injustices of the U.S. criminal system.

The ensuing legal battle resulted in the landmark decision, allowing for self-defense

for survivors of domestic violence,

and marked the first time US courts acknowledge,

quote, the particular legal problems of women

who defend themselves or their male children from male violence."

In this talk, Yvonne discusses the case and its legacy for indigenous peoples,

as well as her current work in advocacy.

A citizen of the Confederate tribes of the Colville Indian Reservation,

Avon Swan is now a long-time activist of the American Indian Movement.

Special thanks go to Dan Berger for putting this talk together

and the Simpson Center at the University of Washington for hosting.

But first please join me and welcoming the
