“Alcatraz Sunrise Ceremony” for Indigenous People’s Day

Submitted by the Event Organizer

The Indigenous Peoples Sunrise Ceremonies are annual events held on Alcatraz Island to honor the Indigenous Peoples of America and to promote their rights.

Held annually since 1975, the Alcatraz ceremonies commemorate the protest event of 1969 where the Alcatraz-Red Power Movement (ARPM) occupied the Island.

For 2020 the event will not take place as a public event, but will be broadcast on kpfa.org and on KPFA 94.1 FM on Monday, October 12, 2020 from 6am to 8am.
