Berkeley, CA: Red Mountain Tribe, 1969. Newspaper. 16p., folded tabloid underground newspaper, news, opinion, events, calls to action, ads, photos, comics, very good on newsprint. Early issue of the underground paper put out by the former staff of the Berkeley Barb. Cover features nude group photo of the Tribe staff raising clenched fists and displaying much body hair and perkiness, articles on People's Park rioting, anti-Barb diatribes, schedule of BPP-sponsored United Front Against Fascism Conference, full page message from Eldridge Cleaver from Algiers, and the usual assortment of news and local ads. This is likely the first issue of the paper under the Berkeley Tribe name, as the preceding issue was called The Barb on Strike.
