 and the Occupation of Alcatraz (Nov. 20, 1969 – June 11, 1971)\n\nThe 
 Native American occupation of this site began on November 20, 1969. Known 
 as Indians of All Tribes, they rooted this action on the fact that the 
 Treaty of Fort Laramie (1868), between the U.S. and the Lakota Peoples, 
 outlined that all such retired, abandoned or otherwise unutilized federal 
 land should be returned to the Native people who once occupied 
 it.\n\nEighty-nine Native Americans led the occupation which, at its 
 height, swelled to a total of\n400 Natives and allies. During this time Bay 
 Area supporters, including the Black Panthers, organized boats to deliver 
 food and other essential supplies to the movement.\n\nThe occupation held 
 out for 19 months, ending with a forcible intervention by the U.S. 
 government. While the physical occupation ended it sparked and ignited a 
 movement.\n\nThe choice of Alcatraz is rife with symbolism, mirroring many 
 Indian reservations, a place with harsh living conditions, land unsuitable 
 for sustainable living and lack of economic possibilities.\n\nFor more
