Alcatraz Reflection 10-08-18

I really enjoyed visiting Alcatraz for the sunrise ceremony on Indigenous Peoples Day. Even though I live locally it was the first time I had gone. I loved feeling connected with the native community and the earth while fighting against "Columbus Day." Watching the sunrise with my Stanford Native family brought us closer together and will be an experience I will never forget. My favorite part of the ceremony was when we welcomed the sun, hands raised. I felt one with the earth, and it reminded me of our interconnectedness.
