Question 3 • RMA FL-2100310-United States History Semester 2

Which of the following was a result of the Alcatraz occupation?

Answer
A
It made the federal government even more hostile to American Indians’ concerns.
B
It created a new reservation on Alcatraz Island.
C
It established a model for future American Indian activism.

Explanation

The 1969–1971 occupation of Alcatraz by American Indian activists drew national attention to Indigenous rights and helped inspire later activism. It did not create a new reservation on the island, and the occupation is generally remembered for increasing visibility of Native concerns rather than making the government more hostile. Therefore, the result was that it established a model for future American Indian activism.
