Best alternative to Columbus Day in San Francisco area on Monday

Published October 11, 2015

ALCATRAZ ISLAND-American Indians and their allies will gather for Indigneous Peoples’ Day Sunrise Ceremony on Alcatraz Island in the San Francisco Bay early Monday morning.

It is an annual event that provides a strong alternative to those who celebrate Columbus Day.

Tomorrow’s celebtation will be the 32nd time in the last 33 years, the American Indian community has journeyed to Alcatraz Island. The only interruption in the long tradition came two years ago when the event was canceled due to the federal government shutdown. Alcatraz Island is operated by the U.S. Parks Service, therefore the event had to be canceled.

Hundreds of American Indians will participate in the Indigenous Peoples' Day Sunrise Gathering

The event also commemorates the 1969-71 occupation of Alcatraz Island by the “Indians of All Tribes.”American Indians consider Alcatraz Island sacred because it is an island where Ohlone ancestors held ceremonies for centuries.

Execution of Palestinian Fadi Alloun, 19, in Occupied East Jerusalem Causes Nation-wide Outrage · Global Voices

A video showing the murder of Fadi Alloun, a 19-year-old Palestinian man, who was shot dead by Israeli police in Musrara neighborhood, beside Jerusalem’s Old City, is sending shock waves around the world as clashes between Israeli settlers and Palestinians escalated over the past three weeks. According to witnesses, Alloun was being followed by around 70 Israeli Jewish settlers surrounded by the Israeli police on October 4. Moments later, we hear the mob yelling at the police ‘it’s a terrorist, shoot him!’ and ‘don’t wait! Shoot him!’ followed by his execution. Alloun is not seen as posing any threat in the video, being surrounded by numerous armed men, and the settlers are seen rejoicing in his death, repeating ‘yes! yes!’ and ‘son of a bitch’.
