Answer
A

Explanation

Many American Indian activists in the 1960s sought to protect tribal lands and defend their rights. The Bureau of Indian Affairs had been established much earlier, and “Brown Power” was associated with the Chicano movement. The Alcatraz occupation was one specific protest, but protecting their lands was a broader goal.
