What strategy was used by leaders of both the Alcatraz Island and Wounded Knee occupations?

Both occupations took place at locations with deep symbolic significance to Indigenous people. Alcatraz represented the history of Indigenous dispossession and treaty violations, while Wounded Knee was the site of the 1890 massacre of Lakota people. Choosing these places drew attention to Indigenous history and demands, so the shared strategy was choosing sites with symbolic value.
