Answer
A
the creation of an Indigenous university on the island
B
the expansion of voting rights to Indigenous people
C
the birth of modern Indigenous political movements
D
the Indigenous ownership of Alcatraz
E
the raising of public awareness about Indigenous issues
Explanation
The occupation drew national attention to Indigenous demands and helped inspire a new wave of Indigenous activism, often called the Red Power movement. It did not result in Indigenous ownership of Alcatraz or the creation of a university there, so the correct outcomes are the birth of modern Indigenous political movements and increased public awareness of Indigenous issues.
