Don't ever recall being taught this in my history classes. Unbelievable how the United States government treated Native Americans and continue to do so!

Thankfully I’m watching this because of my history class!

I'm from Australia and you never hear about this when reading and watching the history of Alcatraz, I have even visited and it was not mentioned at all from what I can remember.

Yesh its due today and I'm working on it in the morning

Russell Means is an icon

Thank you for this.

Because of this occupation, programs that were created on the island were incorporated into the Bay Area communities. Intertribal Friendship house community center in Oakland Ca. The native american health centers in Oakland and SF, and hintil cu ca the 1st and only American Indian child development center in Oakland Ca. All of these programs started on the island and still exist today

Heard about this when it was mentioned in the book Assata Shakur Autobiography. Had to check it out, it’s amazing the Solidarity ✊🏽

Great content though the music distracts and intrudes in odd moments.

Thanks for watching! We appreciate the feedback.

Taking a Course Now. Writing a Mean Thesis.

Wow I’ve lived half my life in sf and learning about it, not knowing this part of its history, which gives even more reason to say: Land Back! Land Back!

AHO' & HUGE HUGS Relative. I AM the one who tweeted on H-C-Q to The president so All Native Nations can be aware as we all are of Mother Earths greatest gifts. Great Father of Universe, Mother Earth, Mother Ocean, & Mother Nature carry all needed. I Am also the one who did all Prayer Warrior-ship for Standing Rock bringing all veterans near & far to protect Our Lakota & Sioux Tribes & also have Lakota & All tribes come together again while having all Veterans spiritually feel all emotions & apologize for all that was taken from land, women, children, man, & language, to Our Spiritual practices of Our beliefs. It is time We Must all move together Across Mother Earth aka Turtle Island

What was he like? I am doing a Research paper on him and the occupation for my American History class. I go to the College of Menominee here in Wisconsin. A tribal University. I am very sorry for his daughter. I hope your family is doing Well. This event Inspired many changes for us Natives in this beautiful land of ours.

At 4:10 What were those internal divisions they mentioned?

There was division of the island between parties. After Oakes Daughter died which was very sad his family left the Island. Non natives were joining the island who were hippies and did drugs and no leadership could occur because of that situation.

Where are Russell and Dennis? I thought they had a huge roll in leadership and made many interviews.

Im part native american. My dads, great grandmother, was Cherokee.

Don't listen to them JB we need to eliminate our frustrations against one another and educate each other when we can. This video helped you gain knowledge and that is a powerful tool.

nice, music is a bit distracting

Let's just see if the World has FORGOTEN these Bay Area Greats...

I find it ironic that hundreds of Indian voluntarily lived on an islands that used to be a prison. Maybe the US government was actually ok with that. Just saying, do you not see the irony of this?

I think they saw the irony of it, that was the point

Recaptured? They squatted till they got ran off with guns. Somethings never change but that is an untrue statement that they re-captured anything
