The Occupation of Alcatraz was a 19-month long protest which began on this day in 1969, when 89 Native Americans and their supporters occupied and reclaimed Alcatraz Island as indigenous land.
The protest was led by Richard Oakes and Grace Thorpe. The group chose the name Indians of All Tribes (IOAT) for themselves and lived on the island together until the protest was forcibly ended by the U.S. government.
IOAT claimed that, under the Treaty of Fort Laramie between the U.S. and the Lakota tribe, all retired, abandoned, or out-of-use federal land was returned to the Indians who once occupied it.
By late May of 1971, the government had cut off all electrical power and all telephone service to the island. Left without power, fresh water, and in the face of diminishing public support and sympathy, the number of occupiers began to dwindle. On June 11th, 1971, a large force of federal officers removed the remaining 15 people from the island.

Just posteda more expanded version of my idea a bit below. Its something I thought of a few years ago and it bubbles up here and there. It would be more like the vibe of a 70s/80s movies like Streets of Fire and the Warriors. I have a very vague plot outline and a sick title: Road to Rebel City. It's also a vibe where the less exposition the better cause explaining shit would not be rock n roll. Everyone in this game is in a band, owns a club or is in a gang or a combination of the 3 cause rock n roll ain't a that you can quit at any time, rock n roll is a serious thing, like war and crime. Also everyone knows martial arts as well but that's not part of the battle system. The battle system is strictly rock n roll battles
Yeah something like this give me a reason to want to progress than getting a high score
I have figured out an rpg battle system to a certain extent around the instruments so different gear combinations are different tones which is kinda character class and those combined create a party class or genre and those influence what guitar hero kinda shit you do, ideally it would be played with pals but ff12 style telling the party AI what to do in advance and one person being in sync with that with maybe less leeway for fucking up for single player than for more people. You can play looser in multi-player than single player that way to make up for it being done by people.
I'd like this, getting friends along to play DND is hard enough so just being able to play solo would be a nice option
