Read this passage from “Alcatraz Island” by the National Park Service. Which provides the best summary of the information? American Indians of many tribes returned to the island in November 1969. Alcatraz had been dormant for six years after the Federal Bureau of Prisons closed the penitentiary. American Indian activists seized the island, claiming it as Indian land. This was an internationally-publicized political protest to focus attention on the plight of American Indians. For over a year, American Indians and their families lived on the island. The occupation promoted American Indian unity. It was a key focus of the Indian movement, and there were plans to establish an American Indian cultural center on Alcatraz. However, interest in the occupation waned; order among those living on the island began to deteriorate. Federal officials removed the remaining occupiers from the Indians in June 1971. Nobody wanted Alcatraz Island after the prison was closed except the American Indians. In a political protest, American Indians seized Alcatraz Island in 1969. They remained there for two years before being removed by federal officials. American Indians lived on Alcatraz and made plans to establish an American Indian cultural center there. As part of the American Indian Movement of the late 1960s, Indians moved to Alcatraz Island and lived there.
