The Alcatraz Occupation in Photographs
From the web site, "A collection of unique photographs which historically document the 1969-1971 occupation of Alcatraz Island by Indians of All Tribes, Inc. These rare photographs were contributed by Ilka Hartmann, Michelle Vignes, and the National Park Service in order that students and researchers may have access to information that will provide insight into the occupation and those who were instrumental in the early activities of Indian protest and unified political activities by American Indian people." From the web site of the American Indian Studies Program at California State University, Long Beach.
