What happened to the Indians who lived on Alcatraz?

The Indians who lived on Alcatraz, primarily from various Native American tribes, occupied the island in 1969 as part of a protest against the U.S. government's treatment of Indigenous peoples and to claim the island as their own. The occupation lasted for 19 months and aimed to draw attention to issues such as broken treaties and the lack of rights for Native Americans. In 1971, federal authorities ultimately removed the protesters, but the event became a significant moment in the American Indian Civil Rights Movement, inspiring further activism and awareness.
