Read this excerpt from "The Spirit of Alcatraz." Protest leaders say the occupation led to new federal laws that recognized Amer

ican Indian tribes and gave them more control over their daily lives. Additionally, the government decided to drop its plan to sell Alcatraz to developers. Today, the island is a National Historic Landmark that sees more than a million visitors each year. But activists say their most important accomplishment was changing the way American Indians looked at themselves. As activist John Trudell puts it, "Alcatraz put me back into my community and helped me remember who I am. It was a rekindling of the spirit.” Which statement best describes the author’s viewpoint? Time spent on Alcatraz Island was wasted, because the demands of the American Indians were not met. It was a dangerous mistake to spend so much time on Alcatraz Island, and it damaged the landmark. American Indians influenced the US government and raised the spirit of their community by occupying Alcatraz. Alcatraz Island is an important landmark that can best be handled by government officials.

The correct answer is C) American Indians influenced the U.S. government and raised the spirit of their community by occupying Alcatraz.

<em>The statement that best describes the author's viewpoint is "American Indians influenced the U.S. government and raised the spirit of their community by occupying Alcatraz".</em>

In the passage, the author clearly states that "...the occupation led to new federal laws that recognized American Indian Tribes and gave them more control over their daily lives." In another part of the passage the author says "...the most important accomplishment was changing the way American Indians looked at themselves."

The author also quoted activist Jhon Trudell: "Alcatraz put me back into my community and help me remember who I am. It was a rekindling of spirit." That is why the statement that best describes the author's viewpoint is "American Indians influenced the U.S. government and raised the spirit of their community by occupying Alcatraz".

The Regulators were backcountry settlers who banded together in 1767 in response to a wave of crime that swept their region in the aftermath of a disruptive war with the Cherokee Indians (1759–1761). Bandit gangs, including women as well as escaped slaves, roamed the country with little fear of capture.
