The American Idian Movement; made a symbolic protest by occupping the abndoned federal prison on Alcatraz Island in San Francisoc for 19 months, Alos made a stand at Wounded Knee, where federal governments misinterpered the "Ghost Dance" as a sign of rebellion and killed unarmed women and children.
The occupation of Alcatraz in 1969 was seen as a success for Native American activists because it brought national attention to issues of Indigenous rights and sovereignty. The 19-month protest highlighted the systemic injustices faced by Native Americans and fostered a sense of unity and activism within Indigenous communities. Additionally, it led to increased public awareness and subsequent policy changes regarding Native American issues, contributing to the broader Red Power movement. Overall, the occupation served as a pivotal moment in the fight for Indigenous rights in the United States.
The civil rights movement.
Indians occupied Alcatraz in 1969 as a protest against the U.S. government's treatment of Native Americans and to assert their rights to land and sovereignty. The occupation was inspired by the belief that the island, being unused and abandoned, could be claimed under the Treaty of Fort Laramie, which allowed Native Americans to reclaim unused federal land. This event highlighted issues such as poverty, discrimination, and the struggle for civil rights, galvanizing the American Indian Movement and raising awareness about Native American issues nationwide. The occupation lasted for 19 months, drawing significant media attention and support for Indigenous rights.
