Carol Lakota Eastin, of the Illinois Great Rivers Area of the United Methodist Church, shares memories of the 2016 Peg-Leg Flamingo youth pilgrimage to the Standing Rock Reservation, where these young Native American students joined protestors of the Dakota Access Pipeline and gained a greater understanding of their proud heritage. (VOICED BY PROFESSIONAL TALENT) FULL TRANSCRIPT 00:04 When women come together, there's nothing we cannot do. Welcome to the WellSprings Journal Podcast, where you will hear from women who have been called by God into lives that speak grace and compassion, that share pain and anger, and that dance life's joys and laughter. Inspiration to call forth your creative spirit await. Listen now. 00:40 Journey to Standing Rock. Carol Lakota Eastin, Illinois Great Rivers Annual Conference. The following are reflections on the fall 2016 Peg Leg Flamingo Youth Trip to North Dakota, a program of the Native American International Caucus, Northeast region. The decision was made by the leaders to change one full day of our curriculum so the youth could experience the water protection site where thousands of native people of many nations were gathered to pray and protect the water threatened by the Dakota Access Pipeline. It was a three-hour ride from Spirit Lake Ministry Center to visit the water protectors camp at Standing Rock. 01:17 Our bus was filled with Native American youth and leaders who had gathered to make life better. This trip was a deviation from our original plan but seemed to have been pre-ordained. We passed through the police blockade, which tested our intentions and through the Indian Warrior blockade, which tested our spirit. The road led us to the crest of a hill where we saw the camp spread out before us. A sight that would remind us of the former glory of the Dakota people and reveal to us the present glory of all who had gathered to protect the water. Tipis were scattered between tents and campers. Cars in the parking lot were near horses in their corals. Rows of nearly 200 travel flags lined the pathway and the Missouri River running clean made this life possible. 02:03 “Mni Wiconi,” which means water is life, was the rallying cry written on t-shirts and banners. The excitement among us was palpable – eyes big, expectation written on young faces. The hours of preparing prayer tithes had readied us to see our people, but even more to see the Creator among the least of them. One young woman expressed her joy saying, "These are my people. I belong here." Defying old messages of "You are nobody," and "You are different." Two young men proudly held up their tribe’s flag and others prepared prayer cloths to tie to the fences already full from pilgrims who came to pray before us. The smell of sage smoke and the sound of the drum drew us to the center circle where we carried our gifts, the Oneida nation flag, a letter from the chief of the Nanticoke people, greetings from the United Methodist Church, bundles of tobacco and our prayers. 02:59 We were brought to the center of the circle and honored. The elders touching each one of us with a blessing. A grandmother whispered to me, "Welcome home, granddaughter." I was reminded of the unconditional welcome Christ offers us. Time evaporated and it was as if I was my great-grandmother. It was as if the city was transformed to a village. We remembered the former glory of the Great Plains Indians whose villages dabbled this country like spots on horses. We walked a trail to the water's edge and gathered to pray. We tied blue ribbons on each other's wrist, ribbons that marked our promise to protect the water wherever our people live. “Water is life,” we said, and we were joined by some of the people who had been camping here for months. One rode up to the shore in a rowboat and joined us. 03:48 For that time of worship together we were one family. “Mitakuye Oyasin,” the people say. We are all relatives. Its meaning echoed in our hearts. Jesus’ prayer resounded in my mind, “Lord, let them be One.” “Your water is my water,” we remembered. Whatever happens to the water in one place happens to the water in every place because all the water is connected. The water we drink is the same water that was made at the creation of the world. 04:19 Later, we sat in a circle by the fire at the youth lodge. We heard songs and stories from the young adults there while their infant children played at our feet. There songs became our songs and their stories became our stories. We were welcomed there like family. We left them gifts of prayers. I felt my life changing in that one day at Standing Rock. Remembering what the People can do when they pray together. I saw young people's lives being changed. We all left stronger than before, knowing more about who we are and whose we are. We would go back to our various communities and we would stand to protect the water there and we did. Some have stood with signs in Washington, D.C., and others have helped organize at water summit in Minnesota. After all, it's all the same water and the People, we are all one People, and Our God is the giver of the gift of life. 05:15 Post note: The Dakota Access Pipeline is in place. It's like a black snake under the river at Standing Rock. When will it strike? We will see. 05:26 Thank you for listening to the WellSprings Journal Podcast.

Once, many, many years ago, I had the honor of playing Spider Woman / Spider Grandmother in Murray Mednick’s The Coyote Cycle. The culmination of performing this play meant we did seven acts through the night beginning at dusk and ending at sunrise. The Coyote, the Trickster, the Clown, and Spider Woman. The cycle of life, the story. The four elements. We had an audience. I stood eye-to-eye with an owl. Humbling. As a native daughter, my sincere heart stands with Native Nations. We have one earth. Their fight is our fight. Truly. It was an honor to march on Friday in Washington D.C. #WaterIsLife. Without water we don’t survive. None of us. None of this. This episode is what I heard - their proclamation, their credo, the plea, the warning. #WaterIsLife #NativeNationsMarch #IStandWithStandingRock #NoDAPL #NoPipelines #PeopleOverPipeline

In today’s episode we celebrate water, those who live within it, and those who fight to protect it for the good of all. From the mysterious conversations of fish and crustaceans to the mechanics of eardrums or microphones with piezoelectric transducers, we listen deeply to the mysterious world that is waiting for us just underneath the surface in rivers, streams and tidal pools alike. With field recordings from all over the world and an art piece or two, this episode dives down below to find that water still holds mysteries for us to preserve and protect for the generations to come, and offers incredible sonic riches to those who have ears to hear. Many thanks once again to Radio Aporee and all the field recording artists who post there.
