In the middle of the night on Nov. 20, 1969, a group of mostly young Native Americans escaped to Alcatraz, landing on the shores of Alcatraz Island, in the middle of San Francisco Bay. They occupied the former prison for 19 months, demanding that the federal government turn over the island to Indigenous Americans. The self-proclaimed Tribe of All Nations ignited a national movement and with the support of Americans from all walks of life, thrived as they prepared for a showdown with the American Government.
@ steal a brainrot: This was such an interesting episode! I had heard bits and pieces about the Alcatraz occupation before, but I never realized how significant it was in the broader Native American rights movement.
I’m seeing OK Win mentioned in a few places, so I wanted to check it out. Before using it regularly, can anyone confirm if it works properly on Android devices and whether it requires any verification after signup? Also, is there any official support option available if login issues happen?
