Alcatraz  [San-Francisco -  California]

Alcatraz [San-Francisco - California]

Indians Welcome

The "Indians Welcome" writing is from the American Indian occupation of the island from 1969 to 1971. ( The "AN" is what remains of an alteration made to the sign, to make it read "United Indian Property".)


The Occupation of Alcatraz was an occupation of Alcatraz Island by the group Indians of All Tribes (IAT). The Alcatraz Occupation lasted for nineteen months, from November 20, 1969, to June 11, 1971, and was forcibly ended by the U.S. government.
