On March 8, 1970, over one hundred Native Americans and their allies scaled the fences of Ft. Lawton Army Base as part of a peaceful takeover of land scheduled to be sold or given to the city as surplus.
The march from Discovery Park North Parking Lot to Daybreak Star Indian Cultural Center also included participants in the original invasion and community members.
