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.

Which supreme court case in 1869 resolved the debate over whether states can secede from the union?
diamong [38]
The case was "<span>Texas v white".

Texas v. White, (1869), U.S. Supreme Court case in which it was held that the United States is "an indestructible union" from which no state can withdraw. In 1850 the territory of Texas got $10,000,000 in government bonds in settlement of boundary claims. In 1861 the state withdrew from the Union and joined the Alliance. In 1862 the confederationist administration of the state exchanged the bonds to private people in installment for Confederate military supplies. After the Civil War the Reconstruction state government filed a suit in the Supreme Court trying to recoup the bonds, at that point held by citizens of different states.
