We hold the rock
We hold the rock: the Indian occupation of Alcatraz, 1969 to 1971 | Troy R. Johnson
4 posts | 1 read
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.

Finished book 8.

A non-Fiction I picked up on my visit to Alcatraz last year. Highly recommend if you‘re interested in an introductory history of the Indian/Anglo American relations.
