... that Belva Cottier proposed and took part in the first Occupation of Alcatraz in 1964 to claim the island for the Sioux? Source: "I said we have a treaty, too, why not claim Alcatraz Island just to prove this treaty that was made with our people many years ago. That was the first time we had the idea of claiming the island. … We made the claim and then stayed on the island for four hours." (San Francisco Examiner)
