Richard keeps increasing on the Indians who have been on Alcatraz Island since November the 20th. The latest move has to do with marine insurance. Attorney for the Indians. Don Jalonick talked about the new development. Uh, will you now try to get another boat to handle the,

00:00:20.430 - 00:00:33.530

uh, the, uh, coming and going traffic as well as provisions? Well, we're going to attempt that, but the first thing we're gonna do is to bring a lawsuit in the federal court in San Francisco by next week, asking for under the Civil Rights Act, asking the

00:00:33.530 - 00:00:57.520

court to order Hartford to ensure these boats on the grounds that it is political discrimination. That is the reason for them denying the insurance in this case. Yeah, well, we have a considerable cash of can C rations, but then we don't have any fresh fruits, vegetables

00:00:57.520 - 00:01:17.270

or meat or milk. And we do have a lot of Children on the island, and we have several expecting mothers on the island as well, and it could endanger their health. What are you gonna do about water? Well, we're not going. We're going to just leave

00:01:17.270 - 00:01:31.360

that up to the people to come out to the island to bring water in any size containers that they have during the weekend while they're out on their pleasure boats. Maybe they'll stop by and bring us water. Would like to appeal to the public. How many

00:01:31.360 - 00:02:21.440

Indians are now on Alcatraz Island? A little less than 100 I'd say. Approximately 89. Okay. Mhm. Mhm. Yeah. Mhm. Okay. Yeah. The Hartford insurance company advised the Indians at 10 a.m. Yesterday that, uh, the boat carrying the Indians to

00:02:21.440 - 00:02:33.390

Alcatraz would no longer be insured. And they told the captain that he would act at his own peril on any further trips out to the island. What reason did they give? The reason they gave is that they claim they are not in the business of ensuring

00:02:33.400 - 00:02:50.730

passengers boats only in the business of ensuring fishing boats and those who do fishing on them. What's the net effect of this action? The net effect would be total isolation on the island. The NATO means is a spokesman for the Indians who are now on Alcatraz.

00:02:50.740 - 00:03:07.580

What is the situation now on the island? How long are you going to be able? Hold out. We don't know how long we'll be able to hold out food and water wise, but we're going to hold out there as long as it takes to maintain our

00:03:07.580 - 00:03:13.450

occupation because we're not going to leave the island, We said. We said that from the beginning.
