it showed the extreme poverty that native americans were living in on reservations.
it generated financial support for native american activists from across the country.
it proved that the federal governments self-determination policy had failed.
it made the public aware of the impact of the federal termination policy.
it highlighted the abuse prisoners endured by government officials.

Explanation:

1. The Occupation of Alcatraz (1969-1971) brought national attention to the severe poverty and poor conditions Native Americans faced on reservations through media coverage of the activists' living situation on the island.
2. The high-profile protest inspired Native American activists and communities across the U.S., leading to financial and grassroots support for their movement.
3. The occupation also raised public awareness of the harmful impacts of the federal termination policy, which aimed to end tribal sovereignty and assimilate Native Americans, by framing the protest as a reclamation of land taken under such policies.

The other options are incorrect: the occupation helped push for self-determination policies (not prove them failed), and the protest was led by Native American activists, not focused on prisoner abuse.

Answer:

• It showed the extreme poverty that Native Americans were living in on reservations.
• It generated financial support for Native American activists from across the country.
• It made the public aware of the impact of the federal termination policy.
