I was involved in helping the protesting Indians on Alcatraz Island in San Francisco Bay back in 1969. The group gave the Indians exclusive use of their boat, the "Clearwater" to help them ferry themselves and supplies. It was just about the only way to get to the island at the time as most other boats going to the island were getting intercepted and their owners harassed.
