“Alcatraz is not an island, it’s an idea. It’s the idea that you can recapture and be in control of your life and your destiny, and self-determine your future.” –Richard Oakes
Sacheen Littlefeather and Eloy Martinez take us inside the 1969-71 Occupation of Alcatraz with personal stories from their involvement in this chapter of the American Indian Civil Rights movement. Discover what they learned about themselves and their community through ceaseless dedication to the ideas of self-determination and an inter-tribal community.
This presentation offers a relevant look at the ongoing importance of education, identity and community. Littlefeather and Martinez have chosen to dedicate this program to Richard Oakes and his family, who, according to our presenters, “gave more to the Occupation than anyone else.”
