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).

What does the chart indicate about signing of the German-Soviet Nonaggression (Molotov-Ribbentrop) Pact?
Luba_88 [7]
The Molotov-Ribbentrop Non-Aggression pact between the Nazi Germany and Soviet Union serves as a pact that divide the eastern part of Europe between Nazi and the Soviet Union sphere of influence and control. One example of this is the invasion of the two belligerents to Poland and divide Poland between the two powers. Also it improves the diplomatic stance between the two countries with two different ideologies. But it will soon be broken by the Germans when they invade Soviet Union.
