Why did American Indians occupy Alcatraz Island in 1969?

History
1 answer:
Helen [10]4 years ago
7 0
American Indians occupied Alcatraz Island in 1969 as a show of protest against the United States's constant choice to overlook or misrecognize rights and responsibilities set by treaties between tribes and the US government. Additionally (and more importantly) it was a retaliation against the theft of tribal land by the federal government. Protesters believed that if the federal government could illicitly occupy tribal lands, tribal members could just the same occupy federal lands.

The Occupation of Alcatraz was led by the Indians of All Tribes (IAT) as a form of inter-tribal solidarity. It preceded the more famous occupation of Wounded Knee in South Dakota during the early 1970s. That protest was organized primarily by the American Indian Movement (AIM).

What are some benefits of the oil industry
Gemiola [76]

Answer: Investments in oil and gas exploration and production generate substantial economic gains, as well as other benefits such as increased energy independence. While changing market conditions will lead to cycles in the industry, the oil and gas industry will be a driver of substantial economic activity for many years to come. In short terms everything runs on oil like money. So the more oil you have the more money u most likely will make.

What might make government officials decide to spend additional money on Social Security instead of the military? What would mak
schepotkina [342]
Additional money on Social Security can actually lead to an increased security in the country, something the military also wants to achieve.


Specifically, it will decrease a number of people in desperate positions who are more likely to commit crimes.

So for example, decreasing poverty can be more effective as a anti-terrorism measure because it decreases people's desperation, which often leads them to join gangs and terrorist groups.
