It’s November 27th. In 1894, a group of 19 Hopi men are arrested in Arizona and brought to Alcatraz Island in California, imprisoned for their resistance to the US government’s re-education efforts.
Jody, Niki, and Kellie discuss why the group of Hopi’s were arrested, what Hopi resistance looked like in this era, and what happened to the men after their imprisonment.
