In November 20, 1969, Native Americans  landed on Alcatraz Island in the San Francisco Bay. Alcatraz was formerly a U.S. prison The group, calling itself "Indians of All Tribes," claimed possession of the island by the "right of discovery." The Indians of All Tribes planned to use the island as a center for Native American spiritual, educational, and cultural activity. "We, the native Americans, reclaim the land known as Alcatraz Island in the name of all American Indians by right of discovery.... We will purchase said Alcatraz for twenty-four dollars in glass beads and red cloth.... Our offer of 1.24 per acre is greater than the 47 cents per acre the white men are now paying the California Indians for their land." The Native Americans want their land back and are willing to do anything to get it back

After learning more about the Red Power Movement, you never see the Native American giving up. The movement was formed for their self-determination, right to govern their own communities. They first demanded that the US government pay tribes for lands that had been taken from the illegally. Then they started to gain more attention and participation among Indians than any previous movement. The Movement succeeded in drawing public attention to the concern of American Indians.

The Red Power Movement hs several connections to the DAPL. The Native Americans in the 1960s were fighting to get territory back that belonged to them. While today, the Native Indians are also trying to fight for their land that is being taken to built the Pipe Line.

The Red Power Movement was very controversial among the non-American Indians. Starting in the 1950s, the U.S. government had embarked on a serious policy plan to terminate its responsibilities to Native Americans among their treaties and agreements. This action included in the move of thousands of reservation Indians to urban areas and the termination of federal duties to two major tribes, the Menominee of Wisconsin and the Klamath of Oregon. However, by the 1970s, move as well as termination policies were all but abandoned.
