Alcatraz Island is situated in San Francisco Bay, 1.25 mi offshore from San Francisco, California, United States. For decades the small island<\/a> had been home to various facilities like a lighthouse, military fortifications, and prisons (1868 and 1934, respectively). From November 1969 until 1963, it was occupied by Native Americans from San Francisco as part of an arc of Native activism across America that saw public protests through the 1970s. Eventually, Alcatraz was made part of a national recreation area and declared a National Historic Landmark in 1986.<\/span><\/p>\n
