Use the excerpt from the Alcatraz Proclamation to answer the question.
We, the native Americans, re-claim the land known as Alcatraz Island in the name of all American Indians
by right of discovery. We wish to be fair and honorable in our dealings with the Caucasian inhabitants of
this land, and hereby offer the following treaty: We will purchase said Alcatraz Island for twenty-four
dollars ($24) in glass beads and red cloth, a precedent set by the white man's purchase of a similar island about 300 years ago. We feel that this so-called Alcatraz Island is more than suitable for an Indian Reservation, as determined by the white man's own standards
