I attended the sunrise ceremony at Alcatraz on Indigenous People's Day on 10/08/18. The ceremony was not only beautiful, but also incredibly meaningful. Being on Alcatraz served as a great reminder to acknowledge Native activism that occurs and has occurred in the past and the power behind making a stand. I felt empowered throughout the whole ceremony and believe that my bond with the Native people, as well as those who stood in solidarity with us, was largely strengthened. I hope to attend again through the years I have ahead of me at Stanford and am very grateful for the opportunity.
