Podcasts about sacred stone camp

Dakota Access Pipeline protesters gathered at the Sacred Stone Camp on the Standing Rock Reservation in 2016 to stop the construction of a pipeline going through Standing Rock Sioux Tribe land. "On Sacred Ground," a film about this confrontation (focusing on the confrontation between a White journalist and oil company executive) will be showing at the earthshotproject in Albany. Alex Briggs, who joined the protests for 6 months, spoke with Hudson Mohawk Magazine's Sina Basila Hickey to tell us more. www.earthshotproject.org

John Gonzalez — a Taíno/Pimicikamak journalist, author, and filmmaker — shown here with LaDonna Tamakawastewin Allard at Sacred Stone Camp, which spreads a message for green energy and living with respect for the world, likens Canada to a giant battery, charging the United States. He described the poverty and depression in many indigenous communities, worsened with disruption caused by the megadams that sell hydropower to the United States. In this week’s podcast, Gonzalez cites the United Nations Declaration on the rights of Indigenous Peoples, adopted in 2007. The declaration provides a framework of minimum standards for the survival, dignity, and well-being of the indigenous peoples of the world as well as outlining human rights and fundamental freedoms. Gonzalez was one of the protesters at Standing Rock, a grassroots movement that began in 2016 after a pipeline was approved to run from western North Dakota to southern Illinois. Protesters saw the project as a threat to ancient burial grounds, to clean drinking water, and to water for irrigation. In March of this year, a federal judge sided with the Standing Rock Sioux tribe, striking down the permits granted for the pipeline by the United States Army Corps of Engineers. Gonzalez became emotional as he described his friends, fellow protesters, who had been injured during the stand-off at Standing Rock when federal troops were brought in. His comrades gave Gonzalez the ceremonial name of Kanipawit Maskwa — Standing Bear — which he uses for his media company. He has written a book about the Standing Rock experience and it solidified for him the need to stand up against and raise awareness about big corporations. — From Facebook@john.gonzalez See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

This episodes features two portions. Janye Waller In the first segment we talk to Noelle about the case of Janye Waller.  Janye is a young Black revolutionary from Oakland, California, who was the only person convicted of property destruction during the 2014 demonstrations in the Bay following the non-acquittal of pigs for the murders of Michael Brown and Freddie Gray. Noelle is a supporter of Janye Waller and believes that Janye's conviction was a clear case of railroading and racial profiling against a community activist.  Janye is now finishing up a 2 year sentence with one year off for good behavior.  The interview was held in February of 2017, and Janye is set to be released in coming months, then he's out on parole. You can find out more about his case and donate to his post-release fund at https://rally.org/supportjanye and updates can be found on his support fedbook page and to find out more about some projects Janye was involved with in Oakland, check out the site for El Qilombo You can write to Janye in the near future by addressing letters to: Janye Waller #ba2719 A Facility,P.O. Box 2500, Susanville, CA 96127-2500Anarchist Observations of the Struggle at Standing Rock In the second segment I speak with Noah, who is a well established movement medic, anarchist, and participant in #NoDAPL at Standing Rock, about his experiences there and analyses of how this resistance was organized and how it developed. This interview was recorded days before media saw the images of the Sacred Stone Camp burning and having been disbanded, so many of the modes and tenses that we employ are not what we might given the current position of the camps. We talk about a wide ranging set of topics, from what worked in the camps to what the failings were, and how resistance to extraction industries could look moving forward.

When I first watched Lyla June Johnston's music video, "All Nations Rise," it gave me  chills and I felt an immediate calling  to interview her for the Rising Women Leaders podcast.   Lyla's video  soon went viral on Facebook, with over 1.6 million views, providing a powerful platform for Lyla to share her message of compassion, peace and prayer during turbulent times.  I spoke with Lyla just days after she returned from Standing Rock last month.   I left this interview feeling filled with so much hope, passion, and devotion to our Mother Earth as well as my own dreams and ambitions.  I hope you will find the same. Please take the time this week to listen to the  full episode, and I encourage you to share it with your friends.   The time has come for us all  to rise together. Love,  Meredith "What you think of as failure is actually a success ...because you tried... Creator doesn't want you to be  perfect, Creator just wants you to try." In this episode Lyla shares: Her experience at Sacred Stone Camp at Standing Rock Her powerful story of overcoming  dark times of drugs, numbing and sexual abuse to find her light and power to be of service in this life A powerful prayer circle where she received clear messages from her guides The message she has for women who believe they have something powerful to share and give in their lives What we can do to cleanse ourselves of fear The role of prayer plays  in moving through turbulent times How the Purification Lodge Ceremony has affected her life A closing prayer in her native language Links in this episode: Lyla's Artist Fan Page Lyla's Music Lyla's Website and Writings Women At Standing Rock Lyla is calling in assistance,  management and administrative support in organizing her performances and speaking opportunities.  If you feel called to learn more, please contact her here. Lyla's Bio: Lyla June Johnston was raised in Taos, New Mexico and is a descendent of Diné (Navajo) and Tsétsêhéstâhese (Cheyenne) lineages. Her personal mission in life is to grow closer to Creator by learning how to love deeper. This prayer has taken her on many journeys and materializes in diverse ways. She is a student of global cycles of violence that eventually gave rise to The Native American Holocaust and the destruction of many cyclic relationships between human beings and nature. This exploration birthed her passion for revitalizing spiritual relationships with Mother Earth and cultivating spaces for forgiveness and reconciliation to occur between cultural groups. She is a co-founder of The Taos Peace and Reconciliation Council, which works to heal intergenerational trauma and ethnic division in the northern New Mexico. She is a walker within the Nihigaal Bee Iiná Movement, a 1,000-mile prayer walk through Diné Tah (the Navajo homeland) that is exposing the exploitation of Diné land and people by uranium, coal, oil and gas industries. She is the lead organizer of the Black Hill Unity Concert which gathers native and nonnative musicians to pray for the return of guardianship of the Black Hills to the Lakota, Nakota and Dakota nations. She is the also the founder of Regeneration Festival, an annual celebration of children that occurs in 13 countries around the world every September. In 2012, she graduated with honors from Stanford University with a degree in Environmental Anthropology. During her time there she wrote the award winning papers: Nature and the Supernatural: The Role of Culture and Spirituality in Sustaining Primate Populations in Manu National Park, Peru and Chonos Pom: Ethnic Endemism Among the Winnemem Wintu and the Cultural Impacts of Enlarging Shasta Reservoir. She is a musician, public speaker and internationally recognized performance poet. Lyla June ultimately attributes any achievements to Creator who gave her the tools and resources she uses to serve humanity. She currently lives in Diné Tah, the Navajo ancestral homeland which spans what is now called New Mexico, Colorado, Utah and Arizona. She spends her free time learning her engendered mother tongue, planting corn, beans and squash and spending time with elders who retain traditional spiritual and ecological knowledge.

Welcome to Still Here:  Modern Stories of Resilience, Indigenously Told. In this preview episode, host Jenni Monet is at the Sacred Stone Camp near the Standing Rock Sioux reservation where thousands of people have gathered from across Indian Country and the Indigenous world to fight a pipeline.  It's also where Still Here symbolically launches its first pilot episode. Over the course of the next several weeks, we'll take you to places where leaders, thinkers, and everyday doers are confronting life's dilemmas in their own indigenous way. The movement building at Standing Rock is just one example of what you can expect to hear on the podcast.   Listen and subscribe now and be sure to check out the website at stillherepodcast.com

In this episode, we meet Liz Gonzalez, Bianca Franco, Courage, and Rudy Clark, who have all recently traveled to the Sacred Stone Camp at Standing Rock to stand in solidarity with the growing community there as the camp enters its sixth month of existence. This is the first part in a two part episode.

The science is clear that no new fossil fuel infrastructure can be built. People around the world are taking it upon themselves to stop fossil fuel projects. The Sacred Stone Camp was created by the Lakota/Dakota/Nakota Nations on April 1, 2016 to stop construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL), which would carry Bakken oil through four states. The DAPL could contaminate the Missouri River, as well as the land and other aquifers. Construction of the pipeline is destroying sacred sites and wildlife habitat. Matt Remle will speak with us about resistance to the pipeline and what people can do to support the efforts. We must also build alternatives to meet our needs for energy and transportation. Bill Moyer and Steve Chrismer have been working together on a project that they call Solutionary Rail. They envision rebuilding the rail system to run on electricity created through renewable sources to carry goods and passengers. For more information, visit www.ClearingtheFOGRadio.org.

Tyler of PDXABC on September 9th Strikes This week's episode features a conversation with Tyler Durden of Portland Anarchist Black Cross (http://pdxabc.org) & the Portland Industrial Workers of the World (http://portlandiww.org/) about the upcoming September 9th National Prisoner Work Stoppage across the United States.  September 9th, the 45th anniversary of the Attica Prison Uprsing in 1971 and is an effort by prisoners in local, state, federal & immigration facilities around the country to address issues around the nature of their confinement, racial and class disparities in incarceration, under-and-un-payed (in some states, forced) labor often described as legalized slavery. Over the hour, we talk about organizing efforts and how to clue in to the strikes as they start this week. A few quick announcements for this episode... 1.) Call for Anti-DAPL Solidarity Actions There is a call-out for acts of solidarity with the folks resisting the Dakota Access Pipeline.  As we spoke about a couple of episodes ago in Gil's interview with LaDonna Brave Bull Allard who owns the land where the Sacred Stone Camp is held, resistance to the pipeline designed to carry crude oil from source through 3 states to Illinois and cross the Missouri River a number of times continues to grow.  Indigenous peoples and their supporters are gathering for nonviolent, direct action protests to block the pipeline's construction and the threat it poses to the soil, animals, plants and that longest river in North America, the Missouri.  From https://nodaplsolidarity.org comes the calll for #NoDAPL Global Weeks of Solidarity Action from September 3-17th. That site offers suggestions of places to target for protest.  nodaplsolidarity.org also offers suggestions of banks and businesses maybe in your area that are funding the pipeline and that could be a nice place to visit to express one's distaste for the pipeline. 2.) Plug into Sept 9 actions nationwide If you're in the U.S. and looking to plug into a supporting prisoner struggle in your area, check out https://itsgoingdown.org/spreading-strike-solidarity-actions-across-north-america-september-9th/ for a partial and growing list of events nationwide.  If you're planning a public event not up there, email it into info(at) itsgoingdown(dot)org for other to see. 3.) Asheville Sept 9 action Here in Asheville, folks will meet at Aston Park, at the corner of South French Broad and Hilliard in Downtown,  at 5:30 to discuss a solidarity march.  Bring banners, noisemakers, signs and so forth.   4.) Solidarity with Coyote Acabo From https://itsgoingdown.org/support-coyote-acabo/: Coyote Acabo , an anti-racist activist from Olympia, WA has a rough road ahead of him and could really use some support. He is currently serving 13 days on an anti-police graffiti case, and has another 22 days to serve in the very near future on a case where he was convicted of throwing a rock at a truck belonging to a neo-nazi. That's a neo-nazi that showed up with many others to counter an anti-police brutality protest that Coyote was a part of. Last year, Olympia saw a lot of spirited marches and demonstrations in protest of an Olympia police officer shooting two young black men, Andre Thompson and Bryson Chaplin. In response to the very understandable anti-police brutality demonstrations that were going on at that time, neo -nazis were showing up to disrupt the protesting which at times even meant neo-nazis attacking the protesters. Well, Coyote has a third case that he is currently dealing with, and for that case his trial starts on September 19th where he is being charged with felony assault. In this case he is being accused of pepper spraying a counter protester who grabbed someone who was a part of an anti- police brutality protest that Coyote was a part of. Coyote is now in the city jail in Olympia, WA and money is being raised that will go towards phone calls , commissary, and to help his family out while he is locked up. Visit the crowd funding site, here: https://rally.org/supportcoyoteacabo to learn more about how you can donate to the support fund. Also, please pass it around as well. Solidarity from near and far is so important in times like these. 5.) Call for International Solidarity Oct 8-9, 2016, with the ZAD at NDdL in France From https://en.squat.net/2016/09/02/notre-dame-des-landes-france-defend-the-zad-a-call-for-international-solidarity/: "the entire zone is due for evictions to start the construction of this absurd airport. Prime minister Valls has promised a “Rendez-Vous” this October to evict everyone who is living, working, building and farming on the zone. On October 8th, tens of thousands of people will gather on the zad to demonstrate that the determination of the movement is as strong as ever. Honouring farmers struggles from the past, we will come with wooden walking batons and leave them on the zone, as a sign of the commitment to come back and pick them up again if necessary. We will also raise a barn, built by dozens of carpenters during the summer, which will be used as a base, should evictions happen. We are calling on all international groups and movements to either come to the zone on October 8th or show their solidarity with the zad through actions directed at the French government or multinational Vinci in their own towns and cities on that day. The airport will never be built. Life on the zad will keep on flourishing!" Future updates can be found at http://zad.nadir.org Playlist: http://www.ashevillefm.org/node/17418
