    An amazing tour, would love to visit there, not as as inmate though, I wouldn't fancy taking a shower there either ha. I don't even wanna imagine the things those walls have seen. It's so huge as well, the management of that place must have been intense. Are they all listening to 50 cent on them headphones? ha ha. Nicely filmed considering all those tourists were in the way all the time and the editing was spot on too, looking real good Tracy. 😍👍

    Thank You Tracy, for showing this history my family is a part. I will post the next about it. On my page I will post a picture of the youngest prisoner Clarence Oklahoma Indian picture as can't here. Oklahoma people have very different history dating back to the Establishment of USA. Many were British originally mixed in with the Indians and who's some famlies took over Alcatraz.. I would like to share some prisoners history. Alcatraz prisoner Clearance Canes was the youngest Native American prisoner about 17 yrs. when sent to prison for his entire life; from my home State Oklahoma. Clarence family were on the "Trail of Tears" a sad part of American history. We say he was set up on the crime accused. Old Whitey a mob figure still alive today took him under his wings for protections in the end gave him a royal burial from a hidden place as FBI were after him. Here is Whitey book it speaks about Clarence. books.google.com/books?id=hdd7AAAAQBAJ&pg=PA145&lpg=PA145&dq=youngest+native+american+from+oklahoma+in+alcatraz+prison&source=bl&ots=DhcFNIrHLT&sig=q6ohDDvUrKMfzjNGKuQ60y6i34c&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwi3spy_zYzXAhUhiFQKHdVdB3MQ6AEIdzAQ#v=onepage&q=youngest%20native%20american%20from%20oklahoma%20in%20alcatraz%20prison&f=false

    Atha Rider Whhitemankiller is my family. That is where my maiden name Rider is used. Wilma Mankiller who became the First female Chief of Cherokee Nation was a friend of mine she was part of the take over. The take over of Alcatraz was done because land was being stolen again by oil people. Starvation of Indians no medical and free movement. www.thenativepress.com/life/alcatraz.php
