Why did American Indians occupy Alcatraz Island in 1969?

History
1 answer:
Helen [10]3 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).

Which of the following issues did the religious right reject?
PSYCHO15rus [73]

The correct answer is - B. Abortion rights.


The religious right has always been against the abortion rights of women and they have always tried to restrict them. In their opinion it is a sin and it is against God's will, and every concealed child has to be born and given the chance to live.

Now this has always been very controversial and the majority of people in the western world don't agree with it, and there's multiple very good reasons for it:

- a woman can be raped and impregnated

- the child might be unplanned and the couple is not feeling ready both emotionally and financially to raise a child

- women have right to decide about their own bodies

- in the early stages the fetus is still not a separate functional organism but in fact is literary a parasite to the human body
