The National Park Service will commemorate the Indians
of All Tribes occupation of Alcatraz Island on February 13, 2016, and
invites you to join us that day. The opportunity to pass on stories from
that era would be an enriching educational opportunity for visitors,
staff, and former occupiers. This alumni event would create a space for
sharing experiences and knowledge through presentations and panel
discussions for the general public.
The National Park Service
Centennial approaches next year, and we are encouraging people to share
the inspirational stories our national parks tell, building a connection
between visitors and the lands we manage. The commemoration of the
occupation would connect more people with the rich history of Alcatraz
Island, the Indigenous Peoples Movement, and the subsequent changes the
occupation caused across the United States. Please contact me if you
would like to get involved! Your participation would help to preserve a
very important part of our national heritage.
If you were a
participant in the occupation and are planning to come please respond to
Ranger Lori Brosnan at lori_b...@nps.gov or 415-561-4903
National Park Service is looking to give "original occupiers" of
Alcatraz take over to have a voice and make presentations, walks about

experience being on the rock. Please pass this information on to those
that were vitally important to this piece of American Indian history and
movement. Deadline for proposals January 22nd. Event on Alcatraz
February 13.
