  8. Food in #Alcatraz was considered the best in the system. Officials claimed they spent more per inmate than other prisons supported by the fact that guards also ate the food. The menu included salads, fresh fruit and desserts. #photography #americana #wa #california #sf #californication #canon80d #colorphotography #bwphotography #travel #photos #trivia #history #NRHP

  11. El Centenario de la Tragedia de Gaudí
    📍 Barcelona, 7 de junio de 1926.
    Un tranvía golpea a un anciano indocumentado. Pasan las horas en el hospital de los pobres hasta que alguien descubre la verdad: es Gaudí.
    100 años después, el misterio de su último paseo sigue vivo. 🏛️✨
    «¿Te lo vas a perder?».

  12. In June 1962, Frank Morris and brothers John and Clarence Anglin escaped #Alcatraz via an utility corridor in Cell Block B. Allen West was unable to escape with them. Sightings have been reported and investigations supporting that the men made it either to #AngelIsland or #SanFrancisco proper. #photography #americana #wa #california #architecture #californication #canon80d #colorphotography #bwphotography #travel #photos #trivia #funfacts

  19. A lone coyote surprised biologists earlier this year by swimming about 2 miles to Alcatraz Island—farther than researchers expected. The unexpected journey to the former San Francisco Bay prison is making scientists rethink coyote behavior. #Wildlife #Alcatraz

  22. 1/2 Day 5 of my trip had a theme of inspiration. I was inspired by:
    -indigenous activists who occupied Alcatraz & directly inspired Seattle area folks like Bernie Whitebear to occupy Fort Lawton, leading to construction of Daybreak Star Indian Cultural Center
    -prison reform advocates who are fighting against the powerful mass incarceration industry to give prisoners humane treatment and better pathways to rehabilitation

  25. The Case for Returning U.S. #PublicLands to #IndigenousPeople

    by Joe Whittle, Mar 6, 2025

    "Since the start of Trump’s second term, his administration has fired thousands of federal workers across multiple public lands agencies, including the National Park Service, the Forest Service, the Bureau of Land Management, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The effects of this are vast: It’s going to have a profoundly negative impact on the environment and the way millions of Americans enjoy public lands, cause immeasurable harm to America’s wildest places, and devastate the economies built around them.

    "After serving 12 years as a backcountry wilderness ranger for the U.S. Forest Service, I'm convinced there is an alternative: the U.S. needs to return its public lands to Native Americans. In fact, I believe that might be the only way to save our parks and forests from corporate privatization and destruction, as well as preserve public access to them. If the U.S. won’t properly care for its public lands, why not return them to their original caretakers?

    "This isn’t a new idea. #NativeAmericans argued that treaty law required
    'abandoned' federal land to be returned to tribes during the occupation of #Alcatraz Island by the #AmericanIndianMovement in the 1960s. In more recent years, the #LandbackMovement has given rise to increased calls for the return of territorial land to #IndigenousNations, and the return of land management based in #TraditionalEcologicalKnowledge—expertise gathered from thousands of years of having deep relationships with specific environments. There’s a strong legal argument that land return is constitutionally required as damages due for hundreds of treaty violations. However, there’s also a lot of data showing Indigenous land management is more ecologically sound than government or industrially managed land. For instance, #ProjectDrawdown, a global leader in science-based #ClimateChange solutions, estimates that returning 1,000 million hectares of land to Indigenous tenureship by 2050 would sequester over 12 gigatons of carbon dioxide."
