Indians of All Tribes Days 2019
Commemorating the 50th Anniversary of the Alcatraz Occupation
The water tower played a special role in Alcatraz history: It was an important site during the Native American occupation from 1969-1971 and displayed a political message painted by members of the "Indians of All Tribes" group.
