Adding this would mean admitting why this happened in the first place Native history should be a class of its own with many textbooks or our way no books instead elders telling stories of the old ways and how to live in a good way now a days!
My great grandparents lived there after the prison shut down.. John and Marie Hart. My mother was raised there from 1962 to 1970. Because her father was the night Watchman. Crazy. Great gramps was one of the only people that live there after they shut down. I just saw an article from 1969 in the San Francisco Chronicle when they interviewed him. So that's why I'm looking up stuff now :-)
Adam Fortunate eagle always gives himself a lot of credit. Not many people on the island considered him an Alcatraz leader. He was calling to the swimmers to come back and get on the boat, ruining his photo op. Also everyone always shows a picture of the wrong daughter when they talk about Richard losing his daughter Yvonne.
Pog documentary, very cool NPS. I've always had an interest in native american history in the san francisco bay, especially since the area I live in practically has everything named after ohlone.
This forgot to mention that the Erroll Flynn skipper didn't realize what they were initially doing, and freaked out because he was flying the Canadian flag. "This could be considered an act of war!!!"

Shameful the way these indigenous people were removed,displaced and robbed of their identity.promises and pledges made by so called civilised governments completely dishonoured.greed and capitalism overruled the need to do the right thing. It must be heartbreaking for the Indian tribes to witness the destruction to the environment that they held sacred. It's long past the time for American government to make some gesture of decency to the wronged

@@user-ye8ou5pn9e i think the official name is "we hold the rock" and I found the director by googling the names of the people being interviewed, sorry I can't remember the actual info
Well, yes and no. In 2005 due to loss of accreditation, they stopped offering a full-time class schedule, but continue to have various activities to maintain their non-profit status
I will say what I feel really need to be said,it was the first time in native history that the youth of the 7th.generation stood up for their people when everyone else stood still.I watched everything on lanada you have to be crazy if you think you can argue with that kind of intelligence.lamad...warrior woman..you earned it.
Is this the full documentary? I feel like it used to be longer, and this one seems to start abruptly. I'm trying to show it to my students, but I'd prefer the full version--can't seem to find anywhere! (I saw the ABC one that was posted last year, but I'm not crazy about it. This one is better in its full version).

Dennis and Clyde, among others, formed AIM in 1968, in response to racism of the police in Minneapolis....the Alcatraz occupation gave more notice to Indian activism, and thus helped propel the cause of AIM and others. John Trudell was AIM spokesman thru most of the 70s......so I believe Dennis was interviewed, as he was an activist at that time, and it acknowledges the movement of all Indian activist groups. That's what I got out of it.
Dennis banks Clyde Bellecourt Russell Means were the co-founder of the American Indian movement And participate in 1968 and 1969 on Alcatraz. And from 1969 to 1971 John Trudell and Richard Oakes and many more on Alcatraz were spoke speakers for A.I.M. .. Aim should have been protesting for better laws by keeping our children safe. And for the forests of our wildlife creature and farmlands where the horses the cows and the chickens live. everything gone made by cement and concrete. Trees are gone so are the blue birds. . have no room not even for vegetables and fruits to grow. Especially in California. Sad how beautiful once was this country was. Now it nothing not broken down buildings full of trash trash trash. No more fresh water. Not even to drink. Soon America will have a food shortage. And will be gone. None of our animals will survive when they're surrounded by cities made with cement and concrete. Without trees.or grass to eat. Or to let wild horses run free.. nothing but in cages. Sad country our Native land once our ancestors was very proud of the land that were free to ride on wild. horses. Instead taking oil from the land.

Osiyo.“Our conversation with the Federal Gov. to Free Native American Political Prisoner Leonard Peltier who’s been falsely imprisoned going on half a century and to honor the Indian Treaties (pre-constitutional law) forming the basis of our great nation was almost entirely redacted on national TV shortly before the insurrection because it demanded that the then President also relinquish the nuclear codes which has never been done. Oct. 2020 I spoke with at least around a dozen federal agents including the FBI and even the US Navy. Trump says before being elected, “We have nuclear weapons so why can’t we use them?” Nancy Pelosi confirmed to our international audience on national TV that indeed they where removing the nuclear codes with the help of the CIA and if anyone has any questions they could just call up and ask. What followed only confirms nuclear tensions where about to explode. The redaction is worth at the minimum trillion$ more than all moneys because with nuclear war lights out! Nothing! This simultaneously addressed the other largest nuclear power and all the rest without having to address any of them directly except our own.”
Many were arrested and were shot at this was peaceful and on Indian land some people with little minds have big mouths that foolish words fall out like drool running down there face.
