Today in Native History: Occupation of Alcatraz Island Ends

On June 11, 1971, the 19-month occupation of Alcatraz Island ended when federal marshals removed the last of the protestors.

Three Coast Guard cutters bearing 20 armed marshals arrived on the island at 1:45 p.m., the San Francisco Chronicle reported. Fifteen Indians—six men, four women and five children—“surrendered peacefully.” No arrests were made.
