Answer:

to establish a reservation on Alcatraz Island.

Explanation:

In November 1969, a group of Native American activists comprising of 78 Indians (Indians of all tribes) occupied the Alcatraz Island in San Francisco Bay and held it hostage for nineteen (19) months in order to raise awareness about the past injustices, unfair treatment, and other contemporary problems the Native Americans were facing at the time.

Hence, the reason why the American Indians occupy Alcatraz was to establish a reservation on Alcatraz Island after reclaiming the land by right of discovery and based on the standards of the white man.

The American Indians proposed to buy Alcatraz Island for twenty-four dollars like the white men did about three centuries earlier.

What is the difference between a parliamentary and a presidential government?
Dmitriy789 [7]

A parliamentary government or a parliamentary system is referred to as the executive branch of the government of which the legitimacy is derived from the legislature (parliament) itself and a presidential government is a governmental body of which the leader is the president

"In a parliamentary government, the two main leaders, a head of state and a head of government, are not the same, but in a presidential government one person holds both powerful positions.

"In a parliamentary government, the head of government is a prime minister whereas in a presidential government it is a president.

"The prime minister is a member of the parliament who is elected upon by fellow congress members while a president is not always considered a member of the parliament.

"In a parliamentary government, the head of state is usually someone from the royal bloodline; a king, a queen, a prince or a princess.

"In a parliamentary government, the parliament is inferior to the legislature of the country while the situation may be different in a presidential government.

A prime minister, for the actions taken by the government, is answerable to the parliament whereas a president is rather responsible to the public who cast their vote on him/her.
