Socialists and activists showed up in the thousands to this year's Socialism Conference, a four-day event packed with discussion of today's most pressing issues and strategies for organizing. Laura Flanders & Friends was there, in Chicago (just days after the Democratic National Convention) for a live taping with three renowned organizers: Nick Estes, a citizen of the Lower Brule Sioux Tribe and author of “Our History is the Future: Standing Rock Versus the Dakota Access Pipeline, and the Long Tradition of Indigenous Resistance” and co-founder of The Red Nation, an organization dedicated to Native liberation; Rachel Herzing, an organizer, activist, and advocate fighting the violence of surveillance, policing and imprisonment and co-author of “How to Abolish Prisons: Lessons from the Movement Against Imprisonment”; and Harsha Walia, co-founder of No One Is Illegal, an anti-colonial migrant justice organization and author of the books “Undoing Border Imperialism” and “Border and Rule”. As you'll hear, they're not counting on politicians to step into office and grant their wishes. They're focusing beyond the election cycle. Join us as we envision a liberated future and explore all that it takes to get there. Plus Laura's commentary.“. . . Having Deb Haaland [serve as] the Secretary of Interior, has been good in the sense that we've gotten these really amazing reports on things that we've already known, that there was this massive systematic genocide of Native children . . . But at the same time, her department has overseen more oil and gas leases on federal lands than the Trump administration, and that's not an indictment of her as a person. That's an indictment of that department . . .” - Nick Estes“. . . We know every single fall in an election season that Black women get told we're the saviors of the entire world and everything relies on us, even though the rest of the time it's very happily that we're kind of left to die, quite literally. We are given this message on a regular basis, and I don't know what to say to people about that. The policies of the so-called United States are not life-affirming policies for Black people, for imprisoned people, and for people living as women.” - Rachel Herzing“I just think that the strongest counterforce to fascism and anti-colonialism is an organized Left. It is not a candidate . . . Sometimes I think we get fixated on what candidates will or won't do, and we don't think about the conditions that the Left can create to actually make those possibilities happen . . .” - Harsha WaliaGuests:•.

Welcome to Hidden Heritage, where we share the untold stories and rich cultural traditions of Native America. In this episode we're going to talk about a topic close to my heart, my own tribe, the Lower Brule Sioux Tribe of South Dakota. The story of the Lower Brule Tribe is one of resilience, connection to the land, and cultural preservation. In this episode, I want to take you on a journey through the history, traditions, and modern-day life of the Lower Brule Sioux Tribe, a people who have held on to their identity and strength despite the many challenges they've faced. From the origins of their name to the impact of the Missouri River dams, we explore the tribe's deep connection to their land and traditions. We'll also discuss the tribe's notable figures, cultural practices, and efforts in economic development, including agriculture, tourism, and the Golden Buffalo Casino. Join me as we uncover the resilience and hope of the Lower Brule Sioux Tribe, a community dedicated to preserving their heritage while looking towards a brighter future. Through their perseverance, they continue to inspire and lead, holding on to their traditions while adapting to a changing world. Thank you for joining me on this journey through the history and heart of the Lower Brule Sioux Tribe of South Dakota. I encourage you to explore more about Native American culture and history, and remember that every tribe, like every family, has its own unique story to tell. Until next time, I'm Paul LaRoche, and this is Hidden Heritage.

Join us this week on Hidden Heritage as we embark on RezRide 2010, a motorcycle ride exploring the Lower Brule Sioux Reservation and surrounding area. This year's journey starts from the small LaRoche house near the Missouri River in an area known as Little Bend, where our host, Paul LaRoche, his nephew Chris Estes and cameraman Shane Summers set off to retrace the steps of their ancestors. The first leg takes us to the Narrows, a stunning stretch along the Missouri River, recently voted one of the ten most beautiful spots in South Dakota. We then visit the Holy Name Chapel, a place rich with family and tribal history, where LaRoche shares his personal connection to this sacred ground. Next, we arrive at the Buffalo Interpretive Center, located on the Native American Scenic Byway. Here, we delve into the cultural significance of the buffalo to the Lower Brule Sioux Tribe and other Native American nations, witnessing hands-on exhibits and learning about the vital role bison played in their survival. Our journey continues through the state capital of Pierre, highlighting the importance of reconciliation and unity. The final leg takes us through Crow Creek and then on to the Akta Lakota Museum in Chamberlain, South Dakota. This museum offers a unique glimpse into the rich heritage and contemporary life of the Lakota people, featuring a renowned collection of art and cultural displays. RezRide 2010 may have concluded, but the profound spiritual experience and the deep connection to the past leave an indelible mark. Join us as we honor and celebrate the enduring legacy of the Lower Brule Sioux Tribe.

The American Democracy Minute Radio Report & Podcast for Oct. 9, 2023On Indigenous Peoples Day, this is a rebroadcast of a 2022 report from the American Democracy Minute:   A Native American tribe in South Dakota won a victory in federal court, forcing implementation of a fairer voting district system and representation for its members, after enduring years of a rigged system.Today's LinksArticles:   Native American Rights Fund (NARF) -  LOWER BRULE SIOUX TRIBE VOTERS WIN CRUCIAL LEGAL VICTORY IN VOTING RIGHTS CASEAssociated Press - Judge tells Lyman County to work with tribe on election planU.S. District Court -  Court Order in LOWER BRULE SIOUX TRIBE vs. Lyman County Groups Taking Action:Native American Rights Fund, Lower Brule Sioux Tribe#Democracy #DemocracyNews #NativeVote #StopGerrymandering #VotingRights

Nick joins the show to provide a comprehensive and riveting breakdown of the struggles faced by Leonard Peltier, one of the longest held political prisoners in the world, incarcerated for almost five decades. We dive into  the history of the American Indian Movement (AIM), the blood counter-insurgency war waged by the U.S. government against AIM, the critical implications of Peltier's case, and the broader context of Indigenous resistance in the United States.In a recent article, Nick writes: "The way Leonard Peltier tells it, he was a criminal the day he was born — but not by choice. The seventy-eight-year-old Anishinaabe and Dakota elder says his “aboriginal sin” was being born Indian in a country founded on Indians' forced disappearance."Nick Estes is an Indigenous organizer, journalist, and historian, and a citizen of the Lower Brule Sioux Tribe.

Native American Tribe Unrigs County Voting with Court Redistricting DecisionToday's LinksArticles:   Native American Rights Fund (NARF) -  LOWER BRULE SIOUX TRIBE VOTERS WIN CRUCIAL LEGAL VICTORY IN VOTING RIGHTS CASEAssociated Press - Judge tells Lyman County to work with tribe on election planU.S. District Court -  Court Order in LOWER BRULE SIOUX TRIBE vs. Lyman County Groups Taking Action:Native American Rights Fund,  Lower Brule Sioux TribeYou're listening to the American Democracy Minute, keeping YOUR government by and for the people.Here's an important story we missed from last week.  A Native American tribe in South Dakota won a victory in federal court, forcing implementation of a fairer voting district system and representation for its members, after enduring years of a rigged system.The Lower Brule Sioux reservation accounts for 40% of the population of Lyman County, South Dakota.  Yet the at-large voting system in Lyman County made sure that it was unlikely the tribe could elect members to the County Commission.  In the 2020 redistricting, Native American voting rights groups advocated for the creation of voting districts giving Native voters an opportunity to select two of the five county commissioners in order to comply with Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act.Problem is, by 2022, the districts still had not been implemented due to foot-dragging by the County Commission.  A suit was filed in May by the Lower Brule Sioux Tribe, and the judge ordered the redistricting plan to be implemented.   In the order, Chief Judge Roberto A. Lange wrote:  “…the effect of a single county-wide district has been to create a system where the County's white majority can and largely has blocked election of Native-preferred candidates.”The court ordered the County Commission to present a plan, and if they did not, the Court would implement one for them.   Without advocacy by the Native American Rights Fund and others, justice would not have been served. See articles on this case and links to the organizations taking action at AmericanDemocracyMinute.org    Granny D said, Democracy is not something we HAVE, it's something we DO.”   For the American Democracy Minute, I'm Brian Beihl.

Join Nick Estes and Rebecca Nagle for an urgent discussion of the ongoing attack on Indigenous children and Indigenous land. Nick Estes puts into historical context recent headlines surrounding the discovery of mass graves of Native children at Canadian residential schools. The removal of Indigenous children from their communities and families has a long genocidal legacy that persists today, well beyond the boarding school era in Canada and the United States. The attack on Indigenous children is an attack on Indigenous sovereignty and land, and there is urgency to uphold protections that are under assault by the right wing, such as the Indian Child Welfare Act. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nick Estes is a citizen of the Lower Brule Sioux Tribe.

The "Pink Tide" of leftist governments in Latin America showed how the quality of life of millions of people can be improved when leftist and progressive politicians are able to win state power through elections; but the conservative wave that followed also served to prove the limitations of this strategy.

“It’s because Indigenous people are constantly fighting our own erasure. The stereotypes that exist out there portray a certain image or behaviour about us that was chosen for us and not by us. Representation matters so much whether it’s from storytelling, through filmmaking — that way we don’t have harmful stories, narrative, perpetual violence cycles or harmful insensitive language being perpetuated about us in the film world. We don’t need another story like Pocahontas.” Jordan Brings Three White Horses Daniel is Kul Wicasa Lakota, a citizen of the Kul Wicasa Oyate, also known as the Lower Brule Sioux Tribe in South Dakota. As a passionate advocate for her Indigenous relatives and communities, she founded the organization Rising Hearts through which she is fighting for justice and visibility as it intersects across all movements of climate, racial, social, and economic justice. Rising Hearts aims to dismantle white supremacy and racism, rebuild a better future and elevating Indigenous, Black, Brown, Asian, Immigrant, Muslim, Jewish, Two Spirits, LGBTQ+ & non-binary voices and relatives with disabilities.  Jordan is also a professional athlete, and as a fourth-generation runner, she has given her running a new purpose: to raise awareness and draw support for the initiatives she believes in -- currently, this includes bringing awareness for the crisis of missing and murdered Indigenous women. In this conversation with host Shayla Oulette Stonechild, Jordan speaks about her approach to wellness and connecting with her Indigenous culture and community and she addresses the importance of our relationship to the land, and of Indigenous communities’ roles as guardians of it for the future of mankind, and of our planet. ....

Join Arundhati Roy and Nick Estes for an urgent and timely conversation on the present crisis, resistance, and the meaning of freedom. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The chant of "Azadi!"—Urdu for "Freedom!"—is the slogan of the freedom struggle in Kashmir against what Kashmiris see as the Indian Occupation. Ironically, it also became the chant of millions on the streets of India against the project of Hindu Nationalism. Even as Arundhati Roy began to ask what lay between these two calls for Freedom—a chasm or a bridge?—the streets fell silent. Not only in India, but all over the world. The coronavirus brought with it another, more terrible understanding of Azadi, making a nonsense of international borders, incarcerating whole populations, and bringing the modern world to a halt like nothing else ever could. In this series of electrifying essays, Arundhati Roy challenges us to reflect on the meaning of freedom in a world of growing authoritarianism. The essays include meditations on language, public as well as private, and on the role of fiction and alternative imaginations in these disturbing times. The pandemic, she says, is a portal between one world and another. For all the illness and devastation it has left in its wake, it is an invitation to the human race, an opportunity, to imagine another world. Arundhati Roy studied architecture in New Delhi, where she now lives. She is the author of the novels The God of Small Things, for which she received the 1997 Booker Prize, and The Ministry of Utmost Happiness. A collection of her essays from the past twenty years, My Seditious Heart, was recently published by Haymarket Books. Her latest book is Azadi: Freedom. Fascism. Fiction. Nick Estes is a citizen of the Lower Brule Sioux Tribe. He is an Assistant Professor in the American Studies Department at the University of New Mexico. In 2014, he co-founded The Red Nation, an Indigenous resistance organization. For 2017-2018, Estes was the American Democracy Fellow at the Charles Warren Center for Studies in American History at Harvard University.

Join us for a conversation between Nick Estes and Kim Tallbear on indigenous resistance in the context of the global pandemic. —————————— Water Protectors at Standing Rock, drawing from long traditions of resistance, used Indigenous sovereignty and mutual aid networks based on kinship as bulwarks against oil pipelines, state violence, and environmental colonialism. These two elements have helped shield Indigenous nations from the COVID-19 pandemic, but as the fossil fuel industry exploits the crisis to expand pipeline projects renewed struggle is more vital than ever. Join Nick Estes and Kim Tallbear for a virtual teach-in on what lessons today's activists can learn from these traditions of resistance. —————————— Nick Estes is a citizen of the Lower Brule Sioux Tribe.

Jordan Marie Brings Three White Horses Daniel is someone making waves at the intersection of sport and advocacy. She's a fourth-generation Lower Brule Sioux Tribe runner doing her heart’s work in using running to amplify voices and representation of Black, Brown, Asian, Muslim, Two-Spirit, Immigrant, LGBTQ, and people with disabilities. Jordan believes transformational change comes from the intersectionality of these groups. That each community must have an equal voice in the conversations around social, environmental, and economic justice.    In this episode, Jordan traces her childhood growing up on a reservation in South Dakota, to later moving to Maine and facing prejudice and racism. The invisibility and systems of oppression she witnessed, led her to move to Washington D.C. and help bring Indigenous communities and other marginalized groups seats at the table and voice to be included in discussions. That’s where she founded Rising Hearts, a grass-roots group elevating collaborative efforts among all racial, social, climate, and economic justice movements.    Jordan’s running life is heavily influenced by her grandfather and mother because running is embedded in Indigenous tradition. That’s when she realized running was her vehicle for drawing support and education around Indigenous rights. In the 2019 Boston Marathon, Jordan painted a red hand on her face to bring to the spotlight the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women (MMIW) movement. For each mile of that race, she honored a different missing and murdered Indigenous womxn, girls, two-spirits, and relatives affected by MMIW, and the last 0.2 miles for her grandfather. Through running and advocacy, Jordan is striving to pave the way for new Indigenous athletes.  Lessons  1. Movements are intersectional. We must show up for each other with strength in numbers.   2. Dismantling racism and systems of oppression must be done through work in un-learning, re-learning, and building a better future.   3. Be proactive. Have conversations with family and friends about anti-racism, open up a discussion at the dinner table, and teach kids at a young age. But come at this from a good place, not a place of frustration and anger.  4. Following, supporting, amplifying, donating, and centering are all ways to support marginalized communities.    Highlights “We don’t want to cancel people out, we want to bring people in.” — Jordan  “It’s heart work, not hard work.” — Jordan  Resources: Jordan’s Instagram  Jordan Marie Daniel’s Website  Rising Hearts  Resources from Jordan: Books to read, articles, and podcasts to listen to  Running on Native Land Initiative (Launching January 2021- bringing land acknowledgment into running and races) Runner’s World Article Organizations Jordan supports that are helping support ending injustice and violence in Native communities: National Indigenous Women’s Resource Center Tribal Law and Policy Institute   Indigenous Women Hike    Thank you to my wonderful sponsor Metpro and Athletic Greens for sponsoring this episode of the Running for Real Podcast.   I am very pleased to have MetPro as a sponsor for the Running 4 Real podcast.

About Jordan: Jordan Marie Brings Three White Horses Daniel is a member of the Kul Wicasa (wee-chah-shah) Lakota and a citizen of the Lower Brule Sioux Tribe. She is an advocate for Indian Country and all people. Jordan is the founder and organizer of Rising Hearts, an Indigenous led grassroots group designed to elevate awareness of Indigenous issues, and the intersectionality of all movements impacting brown, black and Indigenous communities. The group helps to uplift and center Indigenous voices and efforts, while building collaborative partnerships to accomplish equitable and just treatment of all people and the Earth through targeted organizing and advocacy. Currently, Jordan is using her running platform to help raise awareness of missing and murdered Indigenous relatives by dedicating the miles she runs to a missing or murdered Indigenous person, with the #RunningForJustice, and is now intersecting this effort and prayers for Black Lives Matter and calling an end to police brutality. Recently, she climbed the highest peak in the lower 48, carrying 22 names in prayer for missing and murdered Indigenious women (MMIW) for 22 miles. She is among many Indigenous people working to elevate this crisis and to bring justice to the families and victims. Jordan has launched Mitakuye Oyasin (Mee- tah-koo-yay Oy-yah-seen)(which means We Are All Related), a COVID19 relief program for Indigenous communities, to send masks to Indigenous relatives and communities in order to help protect and keep the communities safe. She is sponsored by Altra Team Elite and is an ambassador for Ultimate Direction.

This week on Minnesota Native News, a top COVID-19 federal health official, Dr. Deborah Birx, recently visited Minnesota, and talked about her experience with the Fond du Lac tribe in Duluth. We also hear about an online native film festival that features some Minnesota native creators. Here's Cole Premo with more. BIRX VISITAs August drew to a close, the White House's coronavirus task force coordinator, Dr. Deborah Birx, visited Minnesota and met with both state and tribal officials. BIRX: “Good afternoon, it's really a privilege to be here in Minnesota.”At a news conference in St. Paul, Dr. Birx said she's impressed with how Minnesota has responded to the pandemic using a data-driven approach, including the state's comprehensive testing that has been implemented in long-term care facilities. However, Birx says she's concerned with the rate of positive cases the state is seeing in the Twin Cities and surrounding counties. BIRX: “This state has gone from two, to five, to now nine counties over 10 percent. That trend is worrisome this late into this summer.”To combat rising cases, Birx is urging Minnesotans to continue wearing masks and socially distance during the pandemic, even if many may be feeling “fatigue” to all the guidelines.  BIRX:“There really needs to be a common sense adaption to everyone's personal lives..”In her visit to Minnesota, Birx also stopped in Duluth and met with tribal officials of the Fond du Lac of Lake Superior Chippewa. BIRX: “They were really terrific… I was impressed by their ability to support institutions for isolation within their community, really ensuring they have the resources to prevent outbreaks.”Dr. Birx said Fond du Lac's efforts -- and the efforts of tribes across the nation -- is a good thing to see, given that Native Americans are disproportionately affected by COVID-19 in the country. Birx says Native Americans, who were already suffering from health disparities pre-pandemic, are more likely to suffer life-threatening complications due to COVID-19, compared to other racial and ethnic groups nationwide. BIRX: “We know… across the country still, the No. 1 group that has the most fatalities are our native americans, so we need to focus resources to fit their needs,” Birx said. In Minnesota, about 620 COVID-19 cases have been confirmed among the native population in Minnesota so far. Thirty-three of those cases resulted in death. --- In other news, a film festival for indigenous-made films is now underway. Vision Maker Media's First Indigenous Online Film Festival will run through October 5, and features five genre categories with over 30 films.Some of the films featured include “The Boxers of Brule”, a documentary following a girls boxing team in the Lower Brule Sioux Tribe in South Dakota, and “Rustic Oracle”, a dramatic feature about a family searching for a girl who vanished from their small Mohawk community in Canada. A bit closer to home, one of the films featured is a creation of youth at Nay Ah Shing School of the Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe, and directed by Red Lake Nation  band member and artist, Jonathan Thunder. It's called “Powwow Highway: The Lego Movie”, which is dedicated to the 30th anniversary of the film, Powwow Highway. It's a stop-animation short produced as part of an animation workshop... youth took on roles of animators, actors, co-directors and set designers. MOVIE SOUNDThe sets are creative, with lego characters driving through various landscapes.MORE SOUNDVision Maker Media, a Lincoln, Nebraska-based organization, was founded more than 40 years ago with a mission to engage and empower native storytellers to share their voice and stories with the world. For more information on the film festival, check out visionmakermedia.org.

Mni Wiconi – “Water is Life” – is a phrase a phrase that echoed around the planet in the fight against the Dakota Access Pipeline. It united people and gave a renewed unity to the Oceti Sakowin. We reflect on this movement with “Standing with Standing Rock: Voices from the #NoDAPL Movement” which features the words of many people who were moved to take a stance and those who made the struggle to protect water stronger. The book captures this moment in time with poetry and prose, essays, photography and interviews. We visit with one of the book’s editor’s Nick Estes, a citizen of the Lower Brule Sioux Tribe.

Indigenous scholar Nick Estes, a citizen of the Lower Brule Sioux Tribe, recounts the fight against the Dakota Access Pipeline in his new book “Our History Is the Future.” He explores the Indigenous resistance for what’s also referred to as #NoDAPL or, simply, Standing Rock. What started as a protest turned into the Water Is Life movement that carries on in other fights involving corporate intrusion at the expense of Native sovereignty. Estes joins us for a discussion of “Our History Is the Future.”

Great show this week! We talk with Melanie Yazzie and Nick Estes of The Red Nation, an important new revolutionary organization fighting for Indigenous liberation. Melanie is a Diné scholar and activist who is the 2018-2019 Chair of the Central Governing Council for The Red Nation. She’s also a co-author with Nick of a forthcoming book about border town violence and Indigenous resistance and next year will join the faculty at the University of New Mexico as an Assistant Professor of Native American Studies and American Studies. Nick is Kul Wicasa from the Lower Brule Sioux Tribe, a co-founder of The Red Nation, an Assistant Professor of American Studies at the University of New Mexico, and the author of two forthcoming books: Our History is the Future: Standing Rock versus the Dakota Access Pipeline, and the Long Tradition of Indigenous Resistance and Standing with Standing Rock: Voices from the #NoDAPL Movement. To do this interview, we invited our fellow ISO members Ragina Johnson and Brian Ward, who have worked with The Red Nation over the past few years, to take over the pod, and we think you’ll agree it was a great decision. Melanie, Nick, Ragina and Brian got into a deep discussion about a range of topics, including the creation and development of The Red Nation, how Indigenous and colonized people can and should use the tools of Marxism, the concept of settler colonialism and how it continues today, the necessity of solidarity between Indigenous people and other working-class people and the need for Indigenous land claims to be at the center of those fights. In our opener, Jen, Danny and Eric talk about the “gilets jaunes” (yellow vest) movement in France, which began as rowdy protests against a proposed fuel tax and have evolved to encompass a broad cry of anger at the growing inequality of French society. We also talk about how the protests have confused and divided some in the environmental movement and why we urgently need climate change demands that start from a working-class perspective.

We're offering some food for thought on Standing Rock this Thanksgiving week. Our guests are the brilliant scholar-activists Nick Estes and Kristen Simmons who help us to better understand what has happened with the water protectors over the past two months and especially during dramatic recent events at the camp. Nick Estes is Kul Wicasa from the Lower Brule Sioux Tribe. He is a doctoral candidate in American Studies at the University of New Mexico, an Andrew W. Mellon Dissertation Fellow, and a co-founder of activist organization, The Red Nation. Kristen Simmons is a member of the Moapa Band of Southern Paiutes (NV). She is a doctoral student at the University of Chicago in the Department of Anthropology. Her work engages toxicity and settler colonialism in the American West. In the conversation (9:40), they explain to us the evolving carceral geography of the camp and how it is functioning as an experimental space for military suppression of native people and social movements. We talk about the recent intensification of violence with the arrival of private security forces, mainstream media blackouts and the importance of social media and drones for both sides of the conflict. Nick emphasizes the intersectionality of the struggle and Kristen reminds us that the Obama administration's current position to “let it play out” is an ancient strategy of American empire. We find out what Nick and Kristen think will happen next and whether they believe a peaceful resolution is still possible. As they put it, “For our nations to live, this pipeline has to die.” You can find out more information about Standing Rock at the following websites (where donations are also being accepted!): ocetisakowincamp.org, standingrock.org, sacredstone.org . And please check out the excellent Standing Rock syllabus page too at: https://nycstandswithstandingrock.wordpress.com/standingrocksyllabus/ And if we may add a plea from CENHS and the podcast to all our listeners: The situation at Standing Rock is incredibly urgent and a powerful reminder of how our colonial past is entangled with our energy future. Please talk about Standing Rock this Thanksgiving weekend with your families, please do something to support the water protectors, please work to counteract blackouts and misinformation, and please help to keep pressure on the political establishment to reach a peaceful solution that respects native rights and sovereignty.

Until a few weeks ago, most of us hadn't heard about the lawsuit and protest of the Standing Rock Sioux against the Dakota Access Pipeline project. Now the resistance is the subject of national and international media coverage. Still, there is much we do not understand about the history and stakes of what is happening at Standing Rock in terms of Indigenous rights and sovereignty, climate justice, and the struggle for energy transition. By way of comparison, Cymene and Dominic briefly discuss Indigenous resistance to energy projects in their fieldwork in the Isthmus of Tehuantepec. Then (11:08) we welcome to the podcast Jaskiran Dhillon and Nick Estes. Jaskiran is a first generation academic and advocate who grew up on Treaty Six Cree/Métis Territory in Saskatchewan. She is currently an Assistant Professor of Global Studies and Anthropology at The New School and author of the forthcoming Prairie Rising: Indigenous Youth, Decolonization, and the Politics of Intervention (U Toronto, 2017). Nick Estes is Kul Wicasa from the Lower Brule Sioux Tribe. He is a doctoral candidate in American Studies at the University of New Mexico, an Andrew W. Mellon Dissertation Fellow, and a co-founder of activist organization The Red Nation. A winner of a Native American Journalist Association award for his writing, Nick's research focuses on the history and politics of the Oceti Sakowin (The Great Sioux Nation), border town violence, colonialism and decolonization, and Indigenous internationalism and human rights. Together we discuss what led to opposition to the Dakota Access Pipeline, the legacies of settler colonialism and empire in the region, and the impact Indigenous youth are having on the climate justice movement. Jaskiran and Nick explain to us why what is happening at Standing Rock is truly unprecedented and why it might give us hope despite how deeply pipeline politics remain invested in traditions of settler violence. Finally, we discuss what they think will happen next and how people wishing to support the resistance can help; for those with the resources to help, donations to the legal defense fund and to support the community can be made at standingrock.org PS special thanks to Audra Simpson for helping to make this episode possible!
