The occupation of Alcatraz Island by American Indians from November
20, 1969, through June 11, 1971, focused the attention of the world
on Native Americans and helped develop pan-Indian activism. In this
detailed examination of the takeover, Troy R. Johnson tells the
story of those who organized the occupation and those who
participated, some by living on the island and others by soliciting
donations of money, food, water, clothing, and other
necessities.
Johnson documents the unrest in the Bay Area urban Indian
population that helped spur the takeover and draws on interviews
with those involved to describe everyday life on Alcatraz during
the nineteen-month occupation. In describing the federal
government's reactions as Americans rallied in support of the
Indians, he turns to federal government archives and Nixon
administration files. The book is a must-read for historians and
others interested in the civil rights era, Native American history,
and contemporary American Indian issues.
