The occupation of Alcatraz Island led to many important changes to Indian Country. Chief among them were —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.41.100.197 (talk) 22:24, 9 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Native Americans are a stupid people. Very stupid.

Mike Morgan

I would like to offer evidence to change the section on the death of Oakes to say that the charges against Morgan were dismissed, rather than that he was cleared by a jury. This is not true. Here is my evidence:

"The camp employee was charged with involuntary manslaughter, but charges were later dropped on the grounds that Oakes had come "menacingly toward" him." REFERENCE: Troy R. Johnson, The Occupation of Alcatraz Island: Indian Self-Determination and the Rise of Indian Activism, 1996; New York Times, September 22, 1972.

I got tired of waiting, so I changed it myself. Bigdatut (talk) 16:59, 4 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I cited your third resource in the article. Sorry it took so long. On your Troy R. Johnson source, I searched Google Books and it didn't find any reference to 'Michael Morgan'. Since you didn't give a page#, I decided to omit it as a verifying source. However I adding it as a 'Further Reading' resource on the Occupation of Alcatraz page. It has -lots- of info about Richard; it'd no doubt make a useful ref. here. Thanks. Twang (talk) 05:44, 19 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sourcing

Reads like a hagiography with many gaps; lacks explanations (e.g. around the Alcatraz boat story, or stepdaughter/stairs?) or logical sequencing (travel west after 1963, or after his son was born 1968?). One source gives security warning. Better source might be like this one. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.228.72.136 (talk) 05:05, 22 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, like the big unanswered question at the end. How did he die? At 30 years old! —MiguelMunoz (talk) 07:48, 22 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
