E8: “Indians of All Tribes” - The Occupation of Alcatraz
Manage episode 325993913 series 3300622
“WE HOLD THE ROCK!” In 1969 a group of American Indians from different tribes took over and occupied the abandoned Alcatraz prison site on an island in San Francisco Bay. During their 19 month occupation they brought awareness to the mistreatment of Indigenous people across the U.S. It became the most famous protest of the “Red Power” Movement of the ‘60’s + ‘70’s and laid the foundations for countless Native American protests in the future.
