Red Power

In the ashes of San Francisco’s American Indian Center, a new generation rises. Mohawk activist Richard Oakes and student leader LaNada Means rally Native voices from across the nation to reclaim Alcatraz Island—transforming a former prison into a symbol of freedom. As the “Indians of All Tribes” occupation captures the world’s attention, unity and defiance collide with loss and sacrifice. Through courage and conviction, they ignite the Red Power Movement and declare to America—and the world—that Native people are still here, and always will be.
