The Alcatraz-Red Power Movement was a series of collective actions related to the American Indian Movement, between November 20, 1969 and the Longest Walk in 1978, which resulted in seventy property takeovers.
The goals were to secure redress for political, cultural, and economic disadvantages which mirrored a long history of Indian poverty not only on reservations but in urban environments, too.
