Archival images of the Indigenous-led occupation of Alcatraz between November 20, 1969, and June 11, 1971, draw a worrying parallel between living conditions in the prison and Indigenous communities. Filmed over half a century later, shots of Cahokia and other places underline that the battle for sovereignty is ongoing. (HSB)
