San Francisco Mr. Wells, your contingent from Los Angeles just came back from Alcatraz. What happens now? You come back here, we'll be coming back as long as in as we take control of the island, we're going back now to mustard. Further support for them and secure

00:02:19.340 - 00:02:36.070

more supplies for our people on the island will be running continuous curve vans as as much as possible. As long as the island remains in Indian hands, you plan to come back here in Mass next weekend, right? We plan to come back with as many people

00:02:36.070 - 00:02:51.810

as possible. I can give an accurate number now, but 300 were committed for this past weekend, and I never say they'll be coming back with us in force. You're now in your second week. Any major problems developing day by day. Jessica. Just see daily living problems

with older traditionalists and the more or less have the same views and ideas that we have and I there. So we got our ideas from them, but they were reluctant to do to operate in this manner, not through various reasons. I think it was just the

00:03:47.450 - 00:04:08.480

Indian mentality that well kept him from this. But now we're taking our cue from direct action and other movements throughout the world that we have observed. And now we've decided that it's time for us to govern the destiny of our people. And this is why the

00:04:08.490 - 00:04:20.150

young and old are working in conjunction on this. And there will be other others yet to come. We're waiting for the rebirth of a new nation of Indians and the dawning of a new day for our people.
