The Occupation of Alcatraz that Sparked an American Revolution
Many know Alcatraz as a notorious federal prison, but it is also the site of a 19-month occupation led by a group of Native Americans. In 1969, more than 80 Native Americans sailed to Alcatraz by boat. Their mission was to reclaim the island from the federal government. Alcatraz became a symbol of the centuries of injustice toward Native Americans by the U.S. government. Nearly five decades later, the fight to protect tribal land continues today at Standing Rock as the federal government yet again ignores the rights of Native people.

“James Boasberg, who sits on D.C. district court, said that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers failed to perform an adequate study of the pipeline’s environmental consequences when it first approved its construction. In a 91-page decision, the judge cited the Corps’ study of “the impacts of an oil spill on fishing rights, hunting rights, or environmental justice” as particularly deficient, and he ordered it to prepare a new report on its risks.”
