The occupiers issued the “Alcatraz Proclamation to the Great White Father and All His People” and offered a symbolic purchase price to draw attention to the seizure of Indigenous lands. They also envisioned cultural and educational centers on Alcatraz. They did not secure the return of all seized lands or seek the immediate release of every Indigenous prisoner in the United States.
