American Indian Women's Activism in the 1960s and 1970s : Indybay |
 | | The group of forty, from the Bay Area Council of American Indians, drove claim stakes into the ground (a broom handle was used for one) symbolizing the discovery sticks Lewis and Clark had used. |
 | | Among the original student group of seventy-eight occupiers were two informers, a condition that plagued Indian groups (Daly 1994, 122). |
