Read this excerpt from The Spirit of Alcatraz. Demonstrators first started coming to Alcatraz after the US government closed the

prison in 1963 and declared the property "surplus federal land. " Officials wanted to sell the island to a private developer, but some American Indian leaders had other ideas. They pointed out that a treaty between the United States and the Sioux said all abandoned federal land should be returned to Native people. The first group of American Indian protestors arrived in March 1964 and occupied Alcatraz for four hours. The small group of Sioux demonstrators offered to pay the US government $9. 40 for the island, or 47 cents per acre – the same amount the government was paying to use tribal lands. Activists decided to state a larger action five years later, after the federal government offered to turn Alcatraz into a national park. On the morning of November 20, 1969, seventy-nine American Indians, many of them college students, set off for the island and began their occupation. Why did the Sioux demonstrators think it was fair to buy the entire island for only $9. 40? They were already living on Alcatraz. That was what they wanted to spend on it. It was land that would not be useful. It was the amount the government had paid.

The name Alcatraz is gotten from the Spanish "Alcatraces." In 1775, the Spanish pilgrim Juan Manuel de Ayala was quick to cruise into what is presently known as San Francisco Bay - his undertaking planned the narrows and named one of the three islands Alcatraces. The Sioux demonstrators think it was fair to buy the entire island for only $9. 40 Correct answer is option D  i.e. It was the amount the government had paid.

<h3>What is the The Spirit of Alcatraz is about ?</h3>

The Spirit of Alcatraz  is a straightforwardly expressed, unequivocal, reply from the text. The text says The little gathering of Sioux demonstrators proposed to pay the US government $9.40 for the island, or 47 pennies for every section of land a similar sum the public authority was paying was paying to utilize ancestral terrains.

This lets us know that they imagined that it was not out of the question that since the public authority wasn't paying them much, that they accepted they merited a similar civility.

Therefore, correct answer is option D.
