    Occupation of Alcatraz by Native Americans 1969-1971
    June 11, 1971 - San Francisco, California, United States: Native American occupation of Alcatraz. A military official with a dog stands near some fencing at the end of the occupation. The Occupation of Alcatraz (November 20, 1969, to June 11, 1971) was a 19-month long protest when 89 Native Americans and their supporters occupied Alcatraz Island. The protest was led by Richard Oakes, LaNada Means, and others; John Trudell was the spokesman. This group lived on the island together until the protest was forcibly ended by the U.S. government. The protest group chose the name Indians of All Tribes (IOAT) for themselves. The IOAT claimed that, under the Treaty of Fort Laramie between the U.S. and the Lakota tribe, all retired, abandoned, or out-of-use federal land was returned to the Indians who once occupied it. Alcatraz penitentiary had been closed on March 21, 1963, and the island had been declared surplus federal property in 1964, so a number of Red Power activists felt that the island qualified for a reclamation by Indians. The Occupation of Alcatraz had a brief effect on federal Indian Termination policies and established a precedent for Indian activism. Oakes was shot to death in 1972, and the American Indian Movement was later targeted by the federal government and the FBI in COINTELPRO operations.

    Alcatraz federal prison
    April 3, 1963 - Alcatraz / San Francisco, California, United States: The last prisoners leave Alcatraz Federal Prison. The Penitentiary known as The Rock, was a maximum security federal prison on Alcatraz Island, off the coast of San Francisco, built in 1910–12 as a U.S. Army military prison. The island became adapted and used as a prison of the Federal Bureau of Prisons in August 1934 after the buildings were modernized and security increased. The prison closed in 1963, but Alcatraz was reopened as a public museum. The island and prison were occupied by Native Americans from 1969 to 1971. It is one of San Francisco's major tourist attractions, attracting some 1.5 million visitors annually. Now operated by the National Park Service's Golden Gate National Recreation Area, the former prison is being restored and maintained.

    Ai Weiwei on Alcatraz
    September 24, 2014 - San Francisco, California, United States: Metal stools sit in the middle of A Block cells for "Stay Tuned," a sound installation featuring music by people who have been imprisoned for the musical expression of their beliefs. It is one of the seven art installations by Chinese dissident artist Ai Weiwei, on Alcatraz Island in San Francisco Bay. Alcatraz, once a notorious federal prison in the bay north of San Francisco is now one of America's most-visited national parks. It hosts a site-specific installation, one of seven, by Chinese dissident artist Ai Weiwei, in an unprecedented exhibition opening September 27 for a seven-month run. Ilham Tohti, an economist and writer at Minzu University in Beijing, featured in the show is serving a prison life sentence in China for supposed ties to extremists. Ai, not unlike Tohti, has himself been detained by the Chinese government. His passport has been withheld for three years. "@Large: Ai Weiwei on Alcatraz" is an always-poignant, often-powerful meditation on soul-deadening repressions of human thought and feeling. The phenomenon is ancient, but here it is inflected by the dizzying terms of our still-new Digital Age. A grim but world-famous site for convicts has been reimagined as a space for comprehending prisoners of conscience within the modern surveillance state.

    Ai Weiwei on Alcatraz
    September 24, 2014 - San Francisco, California, United States: Five ton bird wing "Refraction," made from the reflective panels of Tibetan solar cookers with tea kettle visible at upper left, is one of the seven art installations by Chinese dissident artist Ai Weiwei, on Alcatraz Island in San Francisco Bay. Alcatraz, once a notorious federal prison in the bay north of San Francisco is now one of America's most-visited national parks. It hosts a site-specific installation, one of seven, by Chinese dissident artist Ai Weiwei, in an unprecedented exhibition opening September 27 for a seven-month run. Ilham Tohti, an economist and writer at Minzu University in Beijing, featured in the show is serving a prison life sentence in China for supposed ties to extremists. Ai, not unlike Tohti, has himself been detained by the Chinese government. His passport has been withheld for three years. "@Large: Ai Weiwei on Alcatraz" is an always-poignant, often-powerful meditation on soul-deadening repressions of human thought and feeling. The phenomenon is ancient, but here it is inflected by the dizzying terms of our still-new Digital Age. A grim but world-famous site for convicts has been reimagined as a space for comprehending prisoners of conscience within the modern surveillance state.
