Of All Tribes: American Indians and Alcatraz

From 1969 through 1971, Native American activists occupied the former penitentiary on Alcatraz in San Francisco Bay. The book examines the circumstances that led to the occupation and considers its continuing legacy. It identifies young activists, including Richard Oakes and LaNada Means, among the group that crossed the bay in 1969. Archival images and photographs accompany extensive back matter. The account traces an occupation tied to Native American activism.
