In November 1969 a handful of Native American students and urban Indians occupied Alcatraz Island, soon joined by thousands asserting it as Indian land for the first time since the 1880s. The documentary blends archival footage with contemporary commentary to recount the 19‑month protest and explore how the occupation reshaped U.S. Indian policy, tribal programs, and Native self‑identity, culture and sovereign rights.
