Recently, in my research, I came across an interesting piece of history that I had never heard about.
Did you know that in 1969 a group of Native American students took over Alcatraz Island and occupied it for 19 months?
Within the terms of the 1868 Fort Laramie Treaty was a clause that allowed for the appropriation of unused public land by Sioux Indians.
While the treaty formed the legal basis for their actions, the justification for the occupation goes much deeper.
I've borrowed a few clips from other channels because the people who were there can obviously describe it much better than I ever could.

We know the government is corrupt and greedy, so they steal from people. They steal money, natural resources and even people's land with no hesitation.
But, what I don't understand, is what drives them to systematically destroy a culture? What is the motive for eliminating a people's beliefs, their connection to their ancestors and their connection to each other?

Please let me know your thoughts.
