Thank you for sharing this video. Of native ancestry, I did my master's thesis on pan-Indian themes of decolonization coming out of the Alcatraz occupation as a seminal moment in the indigenous peoples' histories, and so understand how rare ths footage is. I've only seen the "public" footage shot by the mainstream press. This film is unique, especially the celebration, pow-wow style shots. My understanding up to this point is that none existed. Thanks again.
