Indian Land Forever: The Indian Occupation of Alcatraz (We Hold The Rock) 1969 to 1971

by Troy Johnson

In November 1969, Alcatraz Island became the rallying point for a pivotal event in Native American civil rights history. The island, which had been vacated by the Bureau of Prisons in 1963, came under the control of a group of committed Indian activists, determined to force the American government to make good on its treaties and agreements with their various tribes.

Sad to say I never knew this happen until I went to visit Alcatraz recently such a fascinating story I wish was more well known and taught in schools.

Super interesting and informative. I got this at alcatraz! Some of the wording I was unfamiliar with which left me a little lost.
