4 0

The Occupation of Alcatraz was an occupation of Alcatraz Island by 89 American Indians and supporters, led by Richard Oakes, LaNada Means, and others. They chose the name Indians of All Tribes (IOAT)[1] and John Trudell was the spokesperson. According to the IOAT, under the Treaty of Fort Laramie (1868) between the U.S. and the Lakota, all retired, abandoned or out-of-use federal land was returned to the Native people who once occupied it. Since Alcatraz penitentiary had been closed on March 21, 1963, and the island had been declared surplus federal property in 1964, a number of Red Power activists felt the island qualified for a reclamation.

The Alcatraz Occupation lasted for nineteen months, from November 20, 1969, to June 11, 1971, and was forcibly ended by the U.S. government. The Occupation of Alcatraz had a brief but somewhat direct effect on federal Indian Termination policies, and established a precedent for Indian activism. Oakes was shot to death in 1972, and the American Indian Movement was later targeted by the federal government and the FBI in COINTELPRO operations.

Does anyone mind telling me a paragrah about ancient greece intellectual?

Evgesh-ka [11]

Here is something that may help, it is an essay I did on ancient Greece and Rome:
Part 1:

Document 1

If you were male, to be considered a citizen of Athens, you had to be active in the community, you also had many rights and responsibilities.Some of the responsibilities of a male citizen were to participate in either war, debates, or be on a jury.Pericles thought that a man who had no interest in politics shouldn't have the right to be a citizen."...we say he has no business here at all."

Document 2

1. He wanted to have the patients best interest in mind at all times, and for the information regarding their health to be kept confidential for privacy reasons.

2. Now, one exception we have is if the patient is under fourteen, the parents or guardians can see all the patient's medical stuff.

Document 3

As citizens, Roman men had the right to vote.Today in America citizens (both male and female) of age eighteen and older, also have the right to vote.

Document 4

People have rights that no government can take away.A person must be considered innocent until he or she is proven guilty.

Document 5

Some of the things that early Greek philosophers studied were geology astronomy.They discovered how to make inferences from observation

Document 6

1. They fertilized their soil and used conservation of water for the summer growing season.

2. It is valuable today because it helped influence the way we now farm.

Part 2:

The ways of the ancient Greek and Roman cultures have influenced the way we do things today in so many ways. Citizens of this time had many rights and responsibilities, they could vote and express their feelings on important matters and had other rights that no government could take away. This has influenced our society's way of public rights and equality in decision making. These ancient cultures also had some of the same laws as we do today, everyone has a right to share their side. I was happy to learn that this was in place even at this time in history.

When studying the medical and agricultural advancements of these ancient civilizations it is fascinating to see how ahead of their time they were. Their confidentiality agreement is still used today, along with the promise of keeping the patients best interest in mind a priority. We also still use their soil enrichment techniques in our modern agricultural practices. Along with their conservation of water idea.

Another advancement of this time was their astronomical practices. Their study of the stars and solar system has helped us understand it better, along with our technology.

This study has shown us how advanced this ancient culture was, in both technology and recourses. Theses two civilizations have greatly impacted the way we live our lives today. And I think we will still keep rediscovering new ways of doing things that were present at this time.

Does this help? I love feedback so please tell me what you think. Thanks. (;
