This year marks the 50th anniversary of the occupation of Alcatraz. It was a 19 month long protest on the island in the San Francisco Bay by Native activists claiming the land in the name of broken treaties. We’ll spend the hour with Dr. LaNada War Jack (Shoshone Bannock) was one of the founding protesters occupying the island. We’ll chat with her about her time on the island, and the years afterward fighting for tribal sovereignty and rights.
