In honor of Indigenous Peoples Day today I wanted to talk about Alcatraz Island and its role in Native American civil rights a thread… (1/5)

@HaudenosaneeWP2 any thoughts on the founding fathers?

[awayota @awayota]

@PatronAspen i think the hard part is convincing them that the blood is in fact tied to the land it really baffles me that most people dont believe that

[awayota @awayota]

i just want to find people who speak about native american issues/history that are not FBA schizos, south asian larpers, or bwc slaves i know im not asking for much

This is why I defend my White brothers & sisters.

You mastered the sciences and crafts in a way nobody had ever before... and then, to top it off, you set a standard for the arts that nobody will beat.

This is why I won't allow you to perish.

[awayota @awayota]

it is the most important aspect of our argument that native americans deserve this land

[awayota @awayota]

i know this is an unpopular opinion but i do not hate the founding fathers of the united states of america. there are a lot of similarities between natives and early revolutionary figures about what this land means, what a people means, and why should we care at all.

[awayota @awayota]

oppressive foreign government, a global superpower that had the means and the will to wipe them all out. i know this is just the historian inside of me speaking and i know that world is long gone. i want all of you to know that our grievances have to be legitimate…

No, what we need is Indigenous sovereignty, which requires the USA as a country to stop existing

[awayota @awayota]

When will you people understand THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA HAS TO DIЕ this country CANNOT be saved

[⊹ ࣪ ˖ 🍓Helena 🫁 ˙⟡ ⭑.ᐟ @PsychosMarket]

I think we should have a Native American US president

[awayota @awayota]

@frankonX_ i always wonder what would happen if the world had been colonized by the east if lets say pre colonial africa is more western or eastern if that makes sense

@crabbybaddie45 How many different avatars does the Koo Savi use?

[awayota @awayota]

i feel like im not engaging in native american history enough. ive been focusing too much attention in expressing myself and i havent given my love and respect for history the attention it deserves i really do want to do more

[awayota @awayota]

@beaming7589 @cinnamon_grl__ i mean you could argue that it was more of an execution rather than the religious ceremonial style sacrifice but its really arbitrary when you consider modern mexico not that i support his actions

The protest was a massive success having been a peaceful one and also a major win for the Red Power movement. Alcatraz has been transformed from an oppressive prison with conditions much like modern Native American reservations to one of Indigenous resistance. (5/5)

Eventually in 1969, eighty-nine Native Americans led by Richard Oakes sailed out to Alcatraz Island to protest the treatment of Native Americans and their land by the US government. They cited the Second Treaty of Fort Laramie of 1868 as the reason for their occupation. (4/5)
