Tipi returns to Alcatraz Island ahead of 55th commemoration of historic Native American act of sovereignty

Several people associated with the occupation have volunteered their time to make the installation possible. The tipi will remain on Alcatraz for the occupation's 55th anniversary before departing the island on December 14, 2024.

An exhibit on the island, Red Power on Alcatraz, was unveiled in 2019 for the occupation's 50th commemoration and remains open. The exhibit, along with complementary interpretive materials on the Alcatraz website, allows visitors to learn about the occupation directly from the people involved.
