Indians of All Tribes was formed to support the Alcatraz Indigenous Occupation in 1969. Native students throughout the California Universities took the island to get the federal government to honor treaties with all of the tribal nations. Federal laws regarding federal surplus property further supported treaty provisions to give lands vacated by the federal government back to the Tribes. The occupation of Alcatraz was a strategy to get the federal government to honor their agreements and laws with Native people by presenting this issue in front of people in the U.S. and the world.
