A compelling local and modern history
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
HEART OF THE ROCK comes from an author who in 1969, along with Richard Oakes, instigated an invasion of Alcatraz Island by American Indians. This occupation of a once-famous federal prison remains a powerful contemporary action in Native history and culture, and HEART OF THE ROCK provides an intimate memoir of the occupation the author helped orchestrate. Photos and personal insights make for a compelling local and modern history.
