Colin Kaepernick on Alcatraz Island for UnThanksgiving Day Event

Colin Kaepernick is on Alcatraz Island to join Native Americans protesting the “genocide” they say is represented by Thanksgiving Day.

Indeginous people and supporters occupied the island off the coast of San Francisco between 1969 and 1971. Since then, there has been an annual sunrise gathering to highlight the deadly, destructive impact on indigenous people of the arrival in America of European colonizers more than 400 years ago.

The former San Francisco 49ers quarterback was seen on video receiving two eagle feathers from a Native American elder before delivering a brief speech at the UnThanksgiving Day event.
