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).

Which goal, set a womens convention in seneca falls in 1848, was finally achieved during the progressive era?
Solnce55 [7]
<span>The right to vote or suffrage was the goal set a women’s convention in Seneca Falls in 1848 and was finally achieved in the progressive era. This was a long term demand of the female activists.  Many men opposed this due to the wrong thinking that women would neglect their daily household chores if they are allowed voting rights. In 1920 the women got their right to vote as the nineteenth amendment was ratified. This was a sweet success after a long and hard struggle.</span>
