Well done. I grew up in the '60's just outside of San Francisco. I'm so glad to see a young person doing research and shining light on the truth....instead of just playing video games to pass the time away. Job well done.
Video games are a hobby, it's not wasting time if someone enjoys doing it so don't implicate that it is first off. Second "Young people" are consistently shining a light on the truth of past events shrouded in misinformation and personal opinions such as the trail of tears but it just isn't publicized due to a lack of a platform to publicize it or a lack of know how to do so.
Spent the weekend with Ramona Bennett, her husband Clyde Bill, Karen Rudolph, Ramona's children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren on Alcatraz for the 50th Anniversary of the occupation by Indians of all Tribes. Met Kent Blansett and lots of other people who touched my heart. Ended up Saturday night with Pit River Indians, who told us that the Sacramento River is really the Pit River. They sang for us, and the Puyallups sang for them. This was another blessed moment for me. Thank you to the Puyallup Tribe of Indians and for all other tribes for this.
This is great for my research. Thank you so much. I'm trying to tell this story through the power of cinema. We are still in the early stages to secure the rights to the book, and getting a studio to fund it.
I visited Alcatraz 2-3 times in the late 70s and was fascinated by its history as a federal prison; the period of Indian Occupation - evidence of which was everywhere - didn’t interest me at all. Fast forward to my adulthood and that era of the island’s history became the MOST interesting to me.
My late mother (Lena Willis-OK Choctaw) came here in 1969 during the rise of the movement. I would like to imagine that she had the time of her life. She later died in her apartment from cirrhosis in 1976
I have seen this documentary in Amazon. It’s free there. But I can’t find it anywhere in TH-cam. They need to put this so people can view it for free on TH-cam.
Hi Tannia. Thanks for watching! I agree this info should be more widely available. Which documentary are you referring to? I linked all the sources that I used in the description, hopefully this helps you find what you're looking for. Take care.
Who did the Indians take it from, I bet if you go back in your oral history you will find you were not the first ones there. Not to mention all the inter-tribal warfare and subjugation of other tribes. I hate when people think that there is some pure group of people out there who did nothing but good things, I think we can put that lie to bed, all races in history have bad and good, stop fostering this utopian vision of something that has never existed in all of human history.
My mom is shirley guevara ❤ this is my history. She was 19 during the occupation
Your mom is an amazing woman. :) Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment. Take care!
Thank you so much for putting so much effort into this the Maori people and samoa stand with you

But yeah she did a great fucking job finding information that's been super obscure even during the occupation, a well done mini-documentary overall.
It's a very interesting story, thank you for sharing this! Well done 🤗
This was EXCELLENT! Thank you!

Amazing! Thank you for taking the time to share. What an event to be part of!
50 years ago my dad jumped into the water to help with the occupation, we are trying to get there , i have neverbeen there
What they did to the Indian children was a disgrace and I'm so sorry for all the children of the poor throughout all the generation who suffer

Nothing you're saying in this comment has anything to do with the topic of this video, but thank you for sharing your thoughts, anyway. Take care.
It was used as an island to escape from missions by natives
The Aztecs sacrificed 84000 of its own people 5 years before Christopher Columbus arrived. Agreed!
