    I believe Livermore (Born 1932; still active, in Montana) was a founder of the American Indian Movement; he was active in the occupation of Alcatraz Island by Indians of All Tribes from November '69 to June '71, while in his 30's. This is a print, signed in the image an' in pencil, un-numbered. I doubt it has much value, but as Alcatraz Island is in the news, thought to share this Eagle with y'all. The paper is 8 1/2" X 11"; the image is 6 1/2" X 9". My apology for the crummy pics. Google Image doesn't show it. Thanks for lookin'!

    This is a poster created by artist, activist, Earl Livermore. The proceeds from the sale of this poster were used to raise money for the Alcatraz Fund. Livermore, along with other activists, occupied Alcatraz in order to reclaim it from the United States government after Alcatraz prison was closed. The fund was established to financially support the occupation and to be used in the best manner for Native people.
