Question 53 • EA ACADEMY PHYSICAL SCIENCE SPRING

In what way was the 1969 Alcatraz occupation different from the demonstration at Mt. Rushmore a year later?

Answer

The protesters at Alcatraz were fighting for LGBTQ rights, not Indigenous peoples’ rights.

The purpose of the Alcatraz occupation went beyond the issue of land rights.

The Alcatraz occupation resulted in the US government changing legislation.

The Alcatraz protesters’ actions were supported by Indigenous community leaders.

Explanation

The Alcatraz occupation sought more than a claim to land: Indigenous activists also called attention to treaty rights, sovereignty, and the treatment of Native peoples. The Mt. Rushmore demonstration a year later focused more directly on reclaiming Indigenous land and challenging the monument’s presence in the Black Hills. Therefore, the key difference is that Alcatraz’s purpose went beyond land rights.
