Description: In November 1969, a small group of Native American students and urban Indians began the occupation of Alcatraz Island in the San Francisco Bay Area. Eventually joined by thousands of Native Americans, they reclaimed “Indian land” for the first time since the 1880s, forever changing the way Native Americans viewed themselves, their culture, and their sovereign rights. Discussion following the screening. James M. Fortier, 69 min., English, USA. Co-sponsored by the Educational Opportunity Program (EOP) American Indian Cultural Resource Center.
