The initial explosion destroyed one tank, and the force of that blast demolished an adjacent tank and sparked a fire that burned for several hours and shut down nearby Interstate 80.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"John Gioia, member of the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors\"]‘There’s a reason that we require electrical permits on the construction of property. It should be no different with a highly explosive tank.’[/pullquote]Each tank could hold 8.4 million gallons of fuel, but at the time of the blast they were both at 1% capacity, holding about 84,000 gallons of ethanol each.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No injuries of employees, firefighters or residents were reported. One contractor working at the site was \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11780972/lone-worker-found-inside-nustar-plant-during-massive-blaze-was-a-contractor\">briefly trapped by the fire\u003c/a>, but escaped unharmed. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The explosion of the second tank can be seen at the 12-second mark in a video tweeted by Vallejo Fire:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/VallejoFire/status/1184253063185358848?s=20\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The report estimated the incident caused $25 million in damage. Workplace safety regulator Cal/OSHA fined NuStar $225 for failing to identify unsafe working conditions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Inspections prior to the fire and the investigation following the incident both found that measurement equipment inside the tank where the incident started was not properly grounded. Investigators also found the tank’s floor was coated with material that inhibited grounding and contributed to a build-up of static electricity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The NuStar facility passed an inspection less than a year before the fire occurred, and recommended repairs were completed. But Contra Costa fire investigators said that such fuel storage facilities, often called tank farms, operate without the relatively strict safety regulations governing oil refineries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Capt. Ryan Graham of the Contra Costa Fire District Investigation Unit said most inspections at fuel storage facilities like NuStar’s lack comprehensive safety oversight.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For instance, Graham said, most tank farm inspections are conducted by an industry body, the American Petroleum Institute. But there’s no central authority that oversees safety at storage facilities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There is no single agency that oversees everything, there are several agencies that look at their part, but no one that brings it all together,” Graham said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11780515\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/10/NuStar-Flareup-Fire-Crockett.jpg\" alt=\"Firefighters work to protect adjacent storage tanks after a flare-up at NuStar Energy's facility in Crockett on Tuesday evening.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1379\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11780515\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/10/NuStar-Flareup-Fire-Crockett.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/10/NuStar-Flareup-Fire-Crockett-160x115.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/10/NuStar-Flareup-Fire-Crockett-800x575.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/10/NuStar-Flareup-Fire-Crockett-1020x733.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/10/NuStar-Flareup-Fire-Crockett-1200x862.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Firefighters work to protect adjacent storage tanks after an explosion touched off a blaze at the NuStar Energy fuel facility near Crockett. \u003ccite>(Contra Costa County Fire Dept./Twitter)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Crockett-Carquinez Fire Chief Dean Colombo said the storage industry’s current safety standards are inadequate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This facility has been inspected a number of times and it had an excellent rating,” despite potential electrical hazards, Colombo said. “The industry needs to accept that in their current configuration, the grounding is not safe or adequate.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since the incident, the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District has appointed an inspector to begin investigating tank farms for code compliance and to determine where industry standards are lacking.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>County officials are beginning to explore what steps are necessary to increase oversight to make fuel storage facilities safer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It comes down to fire inspectors, code developers and other industry representatives coming together and deciding what that standard is going to be, and who ultimately is going to be the authority,” said Randy Sawyer, the county’s chief environmental health and hazardous materials officer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label='Related Coverage' tag='nustar']Officials were also concerned with the apparent lack of building plans and permits for several tanks at the site, including the two that were destroyed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Contra Costa County Conservation and Development Department said it found no records of plans or permits for an expansion of the site that was completed in 1991.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>John Gioia, a member of the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors, said homeowners in the county face a tougher permit and inspection process than the one in place for fuel storage facilities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s a reason that we require electrical permits on the construction of property,” Gioia said. “It should be no different with a highly explosive tank. To have an industry self-certify grounding, when we require homeowners get an inspector to make sure they’ve met all the electrical code, seems incongruous. For anyone out there that says, ‘let’s have industry tell us what to do …’ No. We don’t have homeowners tell us how to ground. We inspect. How can we do otherwise in a large tank facility like this?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supervisor Federal Glover echoed his concern.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There needs to be a regulatory body looking at this,” he said. “To not have regulatory guidance in a tank farm, we’re really missing the boat on that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>County officials said further analysis of the report will take several months, and that another public meeting will be held to discuss further action.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

It’s also an important resting and feeding area for thousands of migrating birds which use the Pacific flyway, making it a popular destination for birdwatching, hunting, hiking and canoeing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Hollin Kretzmann, Center for Biological Diversity\"]'We shouldn't be in the business of propping up new fossil fuel infrastructure and exploration projects. We should be in the business of protecting the environment, protecting frontline communities and moving us away from fossil fuels.'[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The gas drilling permit was submitted by Sunset Exploration Inc., an oil and gas company based in nearby Brentwood. If approved, the project would create 100 feet of new road and a one-acre drilling pad built on the site of an abandoned, sealed well. If new drilling finds the well to be productive, the site would expand to include storage tanks and a mile and a half of new gas pipeline to connect with an existing pipeline.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a Feb. 26 \u003ca href=\"https://www.biologicaldiversity.org/programs/climate_law_institute/pdfs/21-02-26-Hunters-Point-Gas-Drilling-Project-2011-00065N.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">letter\u003c/a> opposing the project sent to the Army Corps of Engineers on behalf of a dozen environmental groups — including the Sierra Club and San Francisco Baykeeper — Center for Biological Diversity Senior Attorney Hollin Kretzmann detailed the potential environmental damage the project could inflict on the marsh's delicate habitat and on surrounding communities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The letter notes the permit application lacks details of the location of the road, and which chemicals might be used for drilling and maintenance of the well. It also calls into question the permit’s assertion that drilling at an existing well site reduces impact to the marsh and contamination risks from other nearby existing wells:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>When a new well is drilled...it can affect existing wells around it in ways ranging from soil and water contamination, to the [uncontrolled release] of gas that has migrated to the surface. ... Older and unused wells can create pathways for water contamination...especially those that were constructed decades ago with outdated technologies and standards.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Environmental groups are concerned that the newly proposed project could pave the way for more abandoned wells to come back online, potentially leading to accidents. There are many abandoned wells in the area, and new gas harvesting technology has made production more efficient in locations that were previously abandoned as unprofitable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Twenty years ago there was enthusiasm in the oil and gas industry around potential reserves beneath Suisun Marsh and other locations in Solano County. In 2001, one natural gas executive said the area had “some of the most exciting opportunities in Northern California.” But renewable energy technology has also come a long way since then — and the negative environmental impacts of fossil fuels and climate change \u003ca href=\"https://www.ppic.org/publication/ppic-statewide-survey-californians-and-the-environment-july-2020/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">are now a major concern for a majority of Californians\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Suisun Marsh has been damaged by fossil fuel-related accidents before. In 2004, an oil pipeline running through the marsh ruptured, \u003ca href=\"https://nrm.dfg.ca.gov/FileHandler.ashx?DocumentID=22852&inline\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">spilling nearly 124,000 gallons of diesel fuel\u003c/a>. The spill caused significant damage to wildlife and the company responsible, Kinder Morgan Energy Co., paid over $1.1 million to clean up and restore the marsh.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kretzmann called the new gas drilling proposal ridiculous.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We know that we only have a limited amount of time to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, phase out fossil fuel and implement a just transition to a safer and more sustainable economy,\" he said. \"So the fact that we're thinking about expanding our oil and gas footprint in the state, and allowing people to dig for new fossil fuels is just completely ridiculous.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said it’s not just the delicate wetland ecosystem that is in danger, but the health of the surrounding communities and the future of the local economy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We shouldn't be in the business of propping up new fossil fuel infrastructure and exploration projects.

A \u003ca href=\"/Users/awoelfle/Desktop/Army%20corps%20public%20notice%20suisun%20bay%20drilling.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">public notice\u003c/a> on the project issued by the Army Corps stated that the project does not qualify for an automatic environmental impact study.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sahrye Cohen, the regulatory chief with the North Bay branch of the Army Corps, said in an interview the agency is still determining whether an environmental impact study will be necessary and that the Corps will require Sunset Exploration to submit alternative plans that would mean less impact on the marsh.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Can natural gas exploration be done in the Suisun Marsh in an area that has less impact on wetlands?\" Cohen indicated the Corps would ask Sunset Exploration. \"Could you request that fill be half an acre instead of an acre? Could you situate it partially on an area that has already been filled in? What are your other options here that don't involve putting fill in wetlands?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Clean Water Act requires the Army Corps to permit the least environmentally damaging plan, but Cohen said when it comes to surrounding communities, they usually fall outside the scope of the Corps' jurisdiction, which only covers actions that occur on waterways. Cohen said it usually doesn’t include a city 5 miles away.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It all starts from, ‘What are they putting in the wetlands?’ then, ‘What are they proposing that adds onto that?'\" she said. \"There's executive orders about environmental justice that we are going to look at for our analysis. But there is a scope limitation, so we don't know how far that extends yet.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cohen was referencing potentially stricter executive orders around environmental justice forthcoming from the Biden administration, but there are also several court cases that limit the scope of the Corps' jurisdiction. The Corps has received a handful of similar requests for exploratory drilling in and around the Sacramento–San Joaquin River Delta in the last decade, and Cohen said most of them get approved after a discussion of how to reduce damage to wetlands and endangered species.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I've been here for about 12 years,\" she said. \"I don't know that we have denied a natural gas well exploratory permit.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cohen added that the Corps' job is to decide, in consultation with agencies like the California Water Quality Control Board and the Department of Fish and Wildlife, whether a project is legally permissible. If it is legal, the permit is approved.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supervisor Brown said that isn’t a good enough reason to \"destroy\" a wetland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Just because it’s legal doesn’t mean it's right. I hope the Army Corps will take that into consideration and reject this project.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The permit review process will take at least four months. Supervisor Brown, Hollin Kretzmann and other environmental groups said they will do whatever they can to fight the project every step of the way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sunset Exploration did not return requests for comment on this story.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>KQED's David Marks contributed to this story.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

A \u003ca href=\"/Users/awoelfle/Desktop/Army%20corps%20public%20notice%20suisun%20bay%20drilling.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">public notice\u003c/a> on the project issued by the Army Corps stated that the project does not qualify for an automatic environmental impact study.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sahrye Cohen, the regulatory chief with the North Bay branch of the Army Corps, said in an interview the agency is still determining whether an environmental impact study will be necessary and that the Corps will require Sunset Exploration to submit alternative plans that would mean less impact on the marsh.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Can natural gas exploration be done in the Suisun Marsh in an area that has less impact on wetlands?\" Cohen indicated the Corps would ask Sunset Exploration. \"Could you request that fill be half an acre instead of an acre? Could you situate it partially on an area that has already been filled in? What are your other options here that don't involve putting fill in wetlands?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Clean Water Act requires the Army Corps to permit the least environmentally damaging plan, but Cohen said when it comes to surrounding communities, they usually fall outside the scope of the Corps' jurisdiction, which only covers actions that occur on waterways. Cohen said it usually doesn’t include a city 5 miles away.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It all starts from, ‘What are they putting in the wetlands?’ then, ‘What are they proposing that adds onto that?'\" she said. \"There's executive orders about environmental justice that we are going to look at for our analysis. But there is a scope limitation, so we don't know how far that extends yet.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cohen was referencing potentially stricter executive orders around environmental justice forthcoming from the Biden administration, but there are also several court cases that limit the scope of the Corps' jurisdiction. The Corps has received a handful of similar requests for exploratory drilling in and around the Sacramento–San Joaquin River Delta in the last decade, and Cohen said most of them get approved after a discussion of how to reduce damage to wetlands and endangered species.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I've been here for about 12 years,\" she said. \"I don't know that we have denied a natural gas well exploratory permit.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cohen added that the Corps' job is to decide, in consultation with agencies like the California Water Quality Control Board and the Department of Fish and Wildlife, whether a project is legally permissible. If it is legal, the permit is approved.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supervisor Brown said that isn’t a good enough reason to \"destroy\" a wetland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Just because it’s legal doesn’t mean it's right. I hope the Army Corps will take that into consideration and reject this project.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The permit review process will take at least four months. Supervisor Brown, Hollin Kretzmann and other environmental groups said they will do whatever they can to fight the project every step of the way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sunset Exploration did not return requests for comment on this story.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>KQED's David Marks contributed to this story.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

And when fire spreads rapidly, some residents don’t have the time or means to evacuate pets and livestock.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the North Bay, that’s where local organizations like the \u003ca href=\"https://napacart.org/\">Napa Community Animal Response Team\u003c/a> (CART) step in. CART volunteers travel behind evacuation lines to rescue pets and livestock, coordinate donations of feed and supplies and care for animals staying in shelters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dr. Claudia Sonder, president of Napa CART and an equine veterinarian, told KQED during the Glass Fire in 2020 that planning ahead is crucial.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We talk about humans being prepared for disaster, but we don’t often talk about preparing your animals for disaster,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Preparing for evacuation\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Here are a few things you can do to prepare your animals before evacuating:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Make an evacuation plan for livestock and practice evacuating more than once ahead of time.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Fill out a luggage tag with the animal’s name and your contact information; the tag can be braided into a horse’s mane and attached to a horn or ear tag.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Prepare a go-bag for your pets and livestock with: food for at least three days; leashes, halters or harnesses; medication; your vet’s contact information; and instructions for feeding and any medical needs.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Microchip your pets, and make sure the microchip contact information is up to date.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Be sure to have photos of your animals for identification purposes.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.aspca.org/sites/default/files/preparedness_for_pets_sep_2015.pdf\">Find more information from the ASPCA here.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Moving horses and other farm or ranch animals out of danger requires a large truck and stock trailer. During fire weather warnings, hitch your trailer to the truck and keep it pointed toward the road to save time during evacuation. If you don’t have the equipment to move large animals, CART coordinates volunteers with trailers who will haul animals to shelters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sonder says it’s also important to make sure your animals practice evacuating so that they’ll get into the trailer when the time comes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have a beautiful 34-year-old horse down in the shelter, Big Jim. He needed a ride and just gracefully got right on that trailer.

"content": "\u003cp>Can an app help make your workplace more equitable?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That was the question that a scrappy group of tech startups, jockeying for more than $100,000 in prize money, sought to tackle last week at the People Ops Tech Pitch Competition in Berkeley, an annual event exploring technological solutions to societal issues like bias and discrimination.[aside tag='bias' label='Recent Coverage of Bias']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Tech is not a panacea. We’ve seen tech used for awful things,” warned Freada Kapor Klein, a \u003ca href=\"https://www.kaporcapital.com/who-we-are/freada-kapor-klein/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">founding partner\u003c/a> of Kapor Capital, the venture capital firm behind the event. “We’ve seen tech used in the service of bias and profiling and stereotyping. Tech is a set of tools that can be used for good or for evil or for mixed purposes.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The event comes amid growing mistrust of the tech industry in recent years, as huge firms like Facebook and Google have faced public backlash for \u003ca href=\"https://www.techrepublic.com/article/facebook-data-pri%20acy-scandal-a-cheat-sheet/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">compromising the privacy of their users\u003c/a>, and governments worldwide have witnessed how popular platforms can be used nefariously to threaten democratic institutions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Kapor Klein emphasized that there are also plenty of inspiring innovators out there using technology to address inequality, particularly in the workplace, where women and people of color often find themselves at a distinct disadvantage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I want everybody out there to be aware of all these great tools that can make the workplace more welcoming to everybody,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To that end, the 10 finalist startups, winnowed from a pool of nearly 200, each had five minutes to present their tech-based proposals for reducing workplace bias, as a small group of judges and a larger audience of investors and fellow entrepreneurs listened intently.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One company, called Tilt, made the case that its platform, which manages all aspects of family leave, would help improve retention of women.

They took care of the earth and we’re still here,” said Ruth Orta, an elder with the Him’re-n Ohlone tribe. “We haven’t gone anyway.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The occupation changed government policy forever and remains a blueprint for activism by Native Americans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://youtu.be/U9sBk8Stms4\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Looking Back\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The occupation of Alcatraz began on Nov. 20, 1969, when a group of Native American students, calling themselves the Indians of All Tribes, landed on Alcatraz Island. They wanted to return the land to native ownership.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[baycuriouspodcastinfo]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We feel that if we are going to succeed, we must hold on to the old ways,” read the Indians of All Tribes’ call to action. “This is the first and most important reason we went to Alcatraz Island.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alcatraz was owned by the federal government, but the land hadn’t been used since the Alcatraz Federal Penitentiary closed in 1963. Native protesters argued that meant the island was theirs, according to the \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_of_Fort_Laramie_(1851)\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Treaty of Fort Laramie\u003c/a>. It said any land abandoned by the federal government should be returned to the natives who once occupied it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Protesters hoped the land would help their community gather and grow stronger.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11848783\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1020px\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11848783\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/Alcatraz-Indian-Land-1020x574-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1020\" height=\"574\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/Alcatraz-Indian-Land-1020x574-1.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/Alcatraz-Indian-Land-1020x574-1-800x450.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/Alcatraz-Indian-Land-1020x574-1-160x90.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1020px) 100vw, 1020px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">An image circa 1970 of the sign that originally read ‘United States Penitentiary’ and was painted over to read ‘United Indian Property’ during the occupation of Alcatraz. \u003ccite>(Golden Gate Park Archives)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“The idea was to have cultural centers,” said Eloy Martinez, a Southern Ute tribe elder who participated in the occupation in 1969. “The idea was for sovereignty, education. All those things that seemed easy for other people to get that we never have. Those were the things that the idea was about.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There were 400 protesters on the island at the peak of the occupation. The protest gained lots of attention from the general public.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But like many other movements, the occupation also saw its share of obstacles. As the months passed, some student protesters left to return to school. Then Native Americans began complaining about freelance photographers and hippies making messes and eating their food. Drugs and alcohol also made their way into the hands of some occupants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then, a child fell to her death on a prison stairwell. The government cut off power to the island, and weeks later a fire destroyed a few historic buildings on the island. In June 1971, armed federal marshals forcibly removed the last of the Alcatraz residents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The occupation lasted 19 months and is still recognized as one of the most important actions in contemporary Native American civil rights history.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It raised national consciousness, and universities around the country began to study Native American heritage. That event also created a network of activists and has been an inspiration for subsequent generations of activists.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This year celebrations commemorating this event will last as long as the occupation did.

All those things that seemed easy for other people to get that we never have. Those were the things that the idea was about.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There were 400 protesters on the island at the peak of the occupation. The protest gained lots of attention from the general public.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But like many other movements, the occupation also saw its share of obstacles. As the months passed, some student protesters left to return to school. Then Native Americans began complaining about freelance photographers and hippies making messes and eating their food. Drugs and alcohol also made their way into the hands of some occupants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then, a child fell to her death on a prison stairwell. The government cut off power to the island, and weeks later a fire destroyed a few historic buildings on the island. In June 1971, armed federal marshals forcibly removed the last of the Alcatraz residents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The occupation lasted 19 months and is still recognized as one of the most important actions in contemporary Native American civil rights history.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It raised national consciousness, and universities around the country began to study Native American heritage. That event also created a network of activists and has been an inspiration for subsequent generations of activists.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This year celebrations commemorating this event will last as long as the occupation did.
