In Spring 2016, the Standing Rock Reservation Sioux, or Oceti Sakwin, began protesting the planned construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) through reservation territory including the Missouri River and beneath Lake Oahe. The planned pipeline would run rough shod on sacred sites, burial grounds, and contaminate water sources. More than 10,000 people converged at Standing Rock, where then-President Obama halted construction until President Trump issued an executive order to jump start co...
Standing With Standing Rock is a pivotal body of work that illuminates the advocacy of our Native American Brothers and Sisters to fight for their water rights on Native Land. .When Standing Rock began the tribes issued a distress call and tribes united and as they did so they unit all of us who are advocates against big oil and fight for Native rights. The advocacy was heard around the world as all of us took up their fight for maintaining water rights on their Native lands. We watched as peace...
So many indigenous people have had to fight the destruction of their ancestral lands from the greed and indifference of corporate interests. This is the story of one Mashpee tribe on Cape Cod who have fought for years to clear the names of nine of their members who were falsely accused of a crime while they also fight to keep a gas pipeline away from ancestral land and waters.
InformativeThe book provided a great deal of information about Standing Rock and Indigenous concerns that I was not aware of from previous readings. I would certainly recommend this book.
powerful and sweeping, a collage of voices from within the Standing Rock movement. Great context on many of the related policies and topics surrounding the greater groundswell.
I checked this out of the library and almost immediately returned it, ordering my own copy so I could underline in it! This is a solid collection of essays and interviews by several writers, covering the #NoDAPL Movement from origins to the clearing of the camps, with a lot of great insight about daily life while they were in operation. Some of the essays are a bit dense, but valuable, dealing with the global finance behind the pipeline, for example. (I've said before, I'm trying to learn more a...
Very informative read could have used more photos to give the reader a feeling of being there.
This wasn't a book I could read straight through. I consumed it in pieces, with time to reflect and time to tame my seething anger between essays and interviews. I cannot visualize a meeting of spirit between honoring the ancient voices of wisdom, and the capitalistic certainty that humans own the earth. I believe that, if we stand with indigenous peoples, maybe we, the offspring of the colonizers, can rediscover our own souls. This is the way to saving the environment. Hear the voices of the Wa...
I received a free electronic copy of Standing with Standing Rock from Netgalley, Nick Estes and University of Minnesota Press. Thank you all for sharing your hard work with me. I have read this collection of essays, etc. of my own volition, and this review reflects my honest opinion of this work. I can highly recommend this excellent look into the #NoDAPL resistance by First American tribes. Over the last few years the women of the Oceti Sakowin, the Seven Council Fires, have added their voices...
