Adam Fortunate Eagle
Adam Fortunate Eagle (born Adam Nordwall) is a hereditary member of the Ojibway Nation, and was the principal organizer of the 1969 to 1971 occupation of Alcatraz Island by "Indians of All Tribes". He was the author of the "THE ALCATRAZ PROCLAMATION to the Great White Father and his People" which stated the goal of the occupiers to create a Center for Native American Studies, an American Indian Spiritual Center, an Indian Center of Ecology, and a Great Indian Training School, none of which came to be on the island.
