Show Notes

Like a gray barnacle on the side of some big blue whale, Alcatraz sits silent and imposing amidst the whitecaps of the San Francisco Bay. And if walls could talk (On Alcatraz they do!) you would here the tale of when in 1969, American Indians occupied this famous ex-prison for 19-months in the longest lasting occupation of a federal facility by native protestors in American History. In a new podcast episode, Untold seeks to deliver the characters and conflict of this unlikely chapter in California’s history.
