2,000 on Alcatraz Island
On Nov. 25, over 2,000 people gathered for the sunrise
ceremony on Alcatraz Island in San Francisco. The ceremony
commemorated the 25th anniversary of the American Indian
Movement's three-month takeover of the island in protest of the
"Thanksgiving" myth and to demand a return of Alcatraz Island
to Native people. Elders at this year's ceremony asked
supporters to remember and honor the many Native nations that
have been wiped out through the U.S. government's genocidal
policies both before and after the so-called
"reconciliation."
