AIM (American Indian Movement) brought more attention to the struggle of Native Americans by organizing protests and occupations of prominent sites. One of their most famous actions was the occupation of Alcatraz Island in 1969, which brought national media attention to Native American issues. They also organized the Trail of Broken Treaties caravans in 1972, which culminated in the occupation of the Bureau of Indian Affairs building in Washington, D.C. These actions helped raise awareness about land rights, treaty rights, and other challenges faced by Native American communities.

From November 20, 1969 - June 11, 1971, over 900 Indians from numerous tribes illegally occupied the island during the famous "Indian Occupation of Alcatraz." During this time, Indian protesters demanded that unused government land, such as Alcatraz at the time, be given to the Native Americans due to the Treaty of Fort Laramie. The Native Americans did a great toll on the island. The main sign that you see at the dock is just one of many instances of their graffiti. Because Indians were commonly coming to and leaving the island, the messages "Indians Welcome" "United Indian Property" and "Indian Land" were painted on the sign to greet arriving Indians and government representatives.
