Behind-the-scenes footage of the Occupation and non- violent protest by Native Americans, back in 1969. Reclaiming their land from the U.S. Government. It lasted for many months, but was not really reported on as a serious situation, as can be seen from the footage. FootageWorld.com maintains more material on this subject.

  • @bigtipiboy, are you a Native Indian? If so, then Shalom & Peace from Chieftan Anacaona from the Island of Ayiti; she was lynched by colonial back-stabbing demonic spaniards. Also, do you recall the accidental death of the children of Richard while on alcatraz. If you're caucasian, be aware that this sordid nation called america is about to burn in hell for her crimes against humanity. Be Blessed, Peace & Shalom,

  • What a TRUE hero.

  • the occupation lasted 19 months and was started in an anthropology class at sfsu by the young warrior named Richard Oaks who was later killed for his pro native position. The professor was Luis kimnester- the group was Indians of All Nations later went on to be the student kouncil of intertribal nations - the goal was to start an all native survival school. in the end the feds threw us all off- i was one of the kids on the island.
