Following the tragic death of Crazy Horse and the ruthless cessation of the Sioux way of life, the last of the great Native American leaders were gradually picked off or repressed by the U.S. Government. Few though had so pitiful a fate as the once mighty Lakota War Chieftain, Sitting Bull. Having fled to Canada in search of peace from the relentless harrowing of his people, Sitting Bull finally returned and arrived at the Standing Rock Reservation in 1883. He was unprepared, however, for the changes wrought upon his people. With the explosion of railroads and the decimation of the already flailing buffalo populations, the Great Plains had been transformed into a desolate, barbed wasteland. While, the Native Americans within the reservations were increasingly coerced into Christianity by missionaries, or controlled by Federal agents. Then, news reached Sitting Bull and his people of a messianic figure from beyond the Rocky Mountains, who would come to liberate them from their plight. With him he brought the answer to their troubles: the Ghost Dance. Would it see the drums of war sound once more?  Join Dominic and Tom as they discuss the life of Sitting Bull in the years following his victory at the Little Bighorn: the destruction of the Plains, his time with the infamous Buffalo Bill, and the birth of the mystical, incendiary Ghost Dance.  EXCLUSIVE NordVPN Deal ➼ https://nordvpn.com/restishistory Try it risk-free now with a 30-day money-back guarantee! *The Rest Is History LIVE in 2024* Tom and Dominic are back onstage this summer, at Hampton Court Palace in London!

Farr discusses the Three Feathers Outreach, which is a non-profit organization that serves Indigenous Peoples living on the Pine Ridge and Cheyanne Rover Reservations in South Dakota and the Standing Rock Reservation in North Dakota, plus previews their upcoming local fundraising event on May 4th and 5th on the WRAM Morning Show.

Today, Leah and Cole speak with Thomas Draskovic, a citizen of the Standing Rock Reservation in South Dakota who is an educator, actor, musician, artist and activist.  Thomas has worked in the Twin Cities Native community in both schools and nonprofits for over 20 years, and for the past 16 years he's been at the American Indian Magnet School in East St. Paul as the Lakota Language and Cultural Specialist. He shares with us how storytelling and authenticity are crucial in his approach to teaching. He also explains why his mother, a master linguist, inspires his passion for educating youth and his strength to “do something” out in the world.  In addition to his work teaching, Thomas also plays guitar and sings in the band Pretendians, featured as part of a previous Native Lights episode. He talks with us more about the meaning behind the name and how it brings about discussion.

In the lead-up to our season on the criminalization of protest we're bringing you part 1 of this excellent two-part Outside/In episode looking at this issue in the U.S. When members of the Oceti Sakowin gathered near the Standing Rock Reservation to protest the Dakota Access Pipeline, they decided on a strategy of nonviolent direct action. No violence… against people. But sabotage of property – well, that's another question entirely.  Since the gathering at Standing Rock, anti-protest legislation backed by the fossil fuel industry has swept across the country. What happened? When is environmental protest considered acceptable… and when is it seen as a threat?  This is the first of two episodes exploring the changing landscape of environmental protest in the United States, from Standing Rock to Cop City and beyond. Part II is available on Outside/In wherever you get your podcasts Featuring Chase Iron Eyes, Tokata Iron Eyes, Lesley Wood, Elly Page, and Connor Gibson. Special thanks to Phyllis Young and everyone at the Lakota People's Law Project, especially Daniel Nelson and Jesse Phelps. Thanks also to Soundings Mindful Media. Learn more about your ad choices.

This episode is the fifth conversation between Harjo and Luger on Broken Boxes, and the artists dive right in, chatting about conspiracy theories, aliens, AI, Indigenous ceramic practices, the current state of the film industry and the writers strike, how creating sanctuary for producing big ideas is important and how everyone's creative process is different, so it's about finding what your groove is. They also speak about fatherhood, the importance of storytelling, and of course the final season of Reservation Dogs - Season 3 - which premieres August 2nd, just days after this episode airs. Sterlin shares why he decided to complete the series after three seasons and reflects on his adventures of being a showrunner for a production that has changed the face of television for Indigenous people, and how making this work has, in turn, changed him. I am excited to see what comes next for our dear friend Sterlin. Broken Boxes will continue to produce these long conversations between the two artists and also we are so excited for Sterlin's podcast The Cuts to activate again, please go listen to his podcast archive If you have not yet!

“I contemplated how sorrow, frustration, and anger wove together with courage, resiliency, and hope, and how the art might speak to this gravity.”   Michaela Goade First Native American illustrator to win the Caldecott Medal   The Artwork: Ink drawing of Michaela Goade on a map of southeastern Alaska. She is holding an open copy of We Are Water Protectors. Sitka, the ancestral home of her people and where she currently lives, is on the map, directly in her line of sight between her eyes and the open book.   The Story: It was a Sunday afternoon in 2021 and Michaela Goade was joining a video call with her editor at her publisher, when she saw the Zoom screen filled with many more faces than she was expecting. They were the members of the Caldecott committee and they were sharing the exciting news that Michaela had won the Caldecott Medal that year for her artwork in the book We Are Water Protectors.  The Randolph Caldecott Medal is awarded annually to the illustrator of the most distinguished American picture book for children. She is the first Native American to win the prestigious award.  The author, Carole Lindstrom, wrote We are Water Protectors in response to the Dakota Access Pipeline protests at the Standing Rock Reservation in North Dakota:  In early 2016, local Native Americans began protesting construction of the oil pipeline, viewing the pipeline as a significant threat to Standing Rock's water sources, as well as a danger to important cultural sites. Beginning with a few hundred, the water protectors' ranks swelled to over 10,000 and included members of tribal nations from across the United States, as well as people from all over the world, including Tibet and Guatemala. The Trump administration eventually bulldozed over the water protectors' wishes and completed the pipeline. Oil began flowing through the pipeline in May, with a capacity to transport 750,000 barrels a day.  An enrolled member of the Tlingit and Haida Indian Tribes of Alaska, Goade grew up in Juneau on the traditional lands of her people surrounded by what she describes as, “A labyrinth of over one thousand islands, endless waterways, and wild, rugged coastlines…with a kaleidoscope of glaciers and fjords, rivers and waterfalls, lakes.” Living among the water and as a Tlingit (meaning People of the Tides) the water protectors' cause touched Goade. She leapt at the opportunity to illustrate Carole's book.  “Water is a way of life here [in Alaska], and it is our life here in so many different ways. So that core theme really resonated. And I remember, like Carole, feeling helpless during the Stand at Standing Rock,” said Michaela.   Goade painted her illustrations for We Are Water Protectors over several months in 2018. Painting her vibrant watercolors in a tiny studio next to the sea, Goade, hoped her art would inspire a new generation of water protectors: “I contemplated how sorrow, frustration, and anger wove together with courage, resiliency, and hope, and how the art might speak to this gravity. In this book, it was especially crucial that all children, Native and non-Native alike, came away from the experience feeling autonomous and empowered,” she said in her Caldecott acceptance speech.  As for the Dakota Access Pipeline that inspired the book, litigation is ongoing on both sides. The pipeline has leaked at least 5 times as of 2021.   Background: Trained in graphic design and working as an art director at a marketing agency, Goade got her start illustrating children's books with 2017's Shanyaak'utlaax: Salmon Boy, a story about respecting the natural world.  “Picture books spoke my language like nothing before had. They became a way to reconnect with my culture, find my artistic voice and give back to the Native community in a unique way,” she says of the career change. “Children's books are reflections of our society. They often communicate who is visible and important in today's world. Therefore, representation that reflects the very diverse experiences of Native Americans is much needed.” Since Salmon Boy, Goade has illustrated several award-winning books, including Berry Song in 2022, her first release as an author.    Music: Theme music comes from Geovane Bruno. Other music in this episode comes from water protectors inspired by the Standing Rock protests, including Taboo, Aliza Hava, and Dee Snider.    Sources: ABC News. (2022, July 19).

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

At the time of recording, Indigenized Indigenous Energy Initiative was named Indigenous Indigenized Energy Initiative.Indigenous Energy Initiative:Indigenous Energy Initiative (IEI) is a native-led non-profit and Earth Island Institute-sponsored project that is developing solar infrastructure within tribal communities. Native communities disproportionately lack access and pay higher costs for utilities, especially electricity, which significantly impacts access and opportunities for remote work, education, and more. In 2014, the U.S. Energy Information Administration reported that 14% of native households lack access to electricity, which is ten times the national average. IEI is working to increase indigenous energy ownership and access to help address the social, economic, and environmental injustices that burden native communities. IEI's focus is on building energy independence as a way to support indigenous communities and eradicate energy poverty. IEI is currently working within the Northern Cheyenne Reservation community in Montana to guide the reservation's $4.1 million solar initiative. IEI's first project was Muddy Hill Microgrid which was a small solar system to support a multi-use community center, fire station, and water filtration system on the reservation. The project was built by tribal members who received solar training through IEI. In 2021, IEI worked on a residential project for elders in the Standing Rock Reservation. Another project IEI is currently working on is the White River Community solar project which is developing residential solar for specific tribal elders and commercial solar for several schools. The Department of Energy is providing $3.2 million of funding for the project and the reservation, and IEI must match twenty percent of this funding. Chéri Smith:Chéri Smith is the founder and CEO of the IEI. Smith is the descendent of the Mi'kmaq tribe of Maine/Canadian maritime and her mission is to use her expertise in climate change and economics to educate, build solar capacity and bring independence to indigenous communities. Smith has two decades of experience in energy and environmental sustainability in multiple sectors from the public, private, NGOs, higher education, consulting, and tribal communities. Before IEI, Smith worked as a coordinator at Tesla-SolarCity, Director of Education and Outreach at the American Council on Renewable Energy, she served as an advisory board member for Masters in Renewable Energy program at Pennsylvania State University, worked as an advisor at the Yale School of Business and the Environment, and worked on Core Education Advisory Committee for SEIA's Solar Power International. Additionally, Smith founded and was the Executive Director of the nonprofit Solar Campus Initiative and there worked as Climate Leader trained by Al Gore. Smith also was awarded the Cordes Fellowship for recognition for developing solar projects for native communities. Through her work at IEI, Smith works to honor her native heritage and use energy knowledge to make native communities more resilient, independent, and sustainable sovereignties. Sources:https://indigenous-energy.orghttps://cbey.yale.edu/our-community/cheri-a-smithhttps://www.theguardian.com/environment/2020/aug/12/native-americans-energy-inequality-electricityhttps://rmi.org/blog_2014_06_24_native_energy_rural_electrification_on_tribal_lands/#:~:text=The%20Energy%20Information%20Administration%20estimates,far%20from%20a%20utility%20grid.https://www.powermag.com/did-you-know-there-are-60000-u-s-citizens-who-lack-access-to-electricity/https://www.scalemicrogridsolutions.com/blog/americas-energy-transition-must-include-tribal-lands

Mathias Hunt was born in Germany in 1848. He immigrated to America as a teenager, entered the Benedictine monastery in Indiana soon after, and became a priest by 1872. Best known as Father Jerome, he moved to Dakota Territory in 1877 and began working as a missionary at the Standing Rock Reservation. Eventually, in 1883, he traveled to the Mission of St. Michael's on the Fort Totten Reservation.

This episode, I talk REBECCA and JOSH TICKELL ("Kiss the Ground") and WILLIAM MAPOTHER ("Lost") about their powerful new environmental thriller, "ON SACRED GROUND." Josh and Rebecca directed the film and William stars in this drama, which is inspired by real events surrounding the 2016 protests over the Dakota Access Pipeline at Standing Rock Reservation. Josh and Rebecca are veteran documentary filmmakers but this is their first narrative feature. We discuss the pressure they faced and why they chose to make this story their first scripted film. "On Standing Ground" is inspired by Josh's actual experiences at Standing Rock and follows the colliding paths of a journalist (Mapother) searching for the truth and an oil man (David Arquette) determined to get the pipeline built and oil flowing. Amy Smart also stars. Check out the trailer and website below and see the film in theaters or on demand now.   "ON SACRED GROUND" TRAILER https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F64dUVAaQV8   WEBSITE https://www.onsacredgroundmovie.com

Nobody deserved a relaxing offseason more than 76ers Assistant Coach Dave Joerger. After battling head and neck cancer during the 2021-22 NBA season - and returning to the bench for the season's final stretch - the veteran coach could have taken a hard-earned trip off the grid. Instead, he's spending his time giving back, in multiple communities across the country. Ahead of one of Joerger's favorite summer events, a basketball camp on the Standing Rock Reservation in Northern South Dakota and Southern North Dakota, the now third-year Sixers Assistant Coach sat down with Lauren Rosen to discuss his offseason initiatives and more.

You may remember that last September we had the honor and privilege of going out to the Standing Rock Reservation to harvest a buffalo — or bison for those who prefer the scientific name — for the second season of the WildFed TV show. Our friend Travis hosted us, showed us around, and introduced us not only to the buffalo, but to the people and the Dakota culture too. He was with us for the hunt, and he and Daniel broke that buffalo down together on the prairie too. It was an incredible experience. While we were there we were particularly taken by two other species, both traditional foods of the prairie. One that we ate, the prairie turnip, or what the Dakota and Lakota call Tinpsila, a tuber that can be eaten raw or cooked, and that when dried lasts nearly indefinitely. Folks there keep long braids of it they make by peeling the tuber itself — which looks something like a small, white potato — but leaving the tap roots on which they plate into beautiful braids that make these vegetables easy to store, transport, and hang up as decorations until they're ready to be used. We had them cooked into a buffalo stew, and we were so impressed by their flavor, texture and nutritional composition that we knew we'd have to come back to experience the harvest myself. The other species was the Prairie Dog, a very gregarious ground squirrel that lives in enormous colonies called “towns” that dot the prairie's landscape. These subterranean dwellers are always popping out of their burrows and standing tall on their mounds, surveying the surrounding grassy plains, which they keep mowed short to prevent hidden avenues of approach for predators that might like to dine on the prairie's most iconic small game species. Both having the prefix “prairie” in their common name was a coincidence that we couldn't overlook, and we spent the winter daydreaming about going back to harvest both for a meal that would become an episode of the third season of WildFed. Well, it happened, which brings us to today's podcast — a conversation with Travis “Good Bull Man” Condon, Daniel, and WildFed producers Grant and Oliver who were there filming and directing the episode. Just as before, our time on the plains was inspiring and refreshing, as the beauty of the reservation lands is almost indescribable. Big sky, tall grass undulating in the wind like waves in the sea, and vistas that stretch on for a hundred miles. It was also a little poignant too, as it's all too easy to see and feel what's been lost in the last few hundred years of Westward expansion, industrialization, agricultural and urban development, and of course, the denuding of the landscape's native flora and fauna. Still, despite these insults to the land and the people, the prairie still radiates a power and strength, as if it is ready to rise again, restoring itself to its former glory. Whatever the future holds, we hope the journey and adventure of life keep bringing us back to this incredible place and the incredible people who live there. Also, before we go, we wanted to give a quick shout-out to Linda and Luke Black Elk who prepared the incredible meal for the show at their annual tinpsila camp, along with their son Wawikiya, Linda's sister Lisa, and Luke's mom Candice. It was a real pleasure working with you all and learning about Tinpsila and the harvest and preparation of this incredible plant. Wophila — thank you.

Well Cigs, the Hearpp trial is over. Non-horny ladies around the globe are grieving the end of women's rights (to defame). After an immersive two months, we're just grateful to change our shit-stained sheets and imbibe some lighter fare. Per usual, we need to talk about Kevin and his alleged LSD/non-binary grooming of Standing Rock Reservation child activist, Tokata Iron Eyes. Then we need to talk about Nick Cannon and his godly poly journey to populate the Earth with Z-named children. Why does he wear a turban? Great question. We round out the episode with a celebration of Bertney's nuptials and First Husband™ Jason Alexander's attempt to crash the wedding 6 hours before it actually started. Peace, Love, and Light to Elaine Bredehoft. 

“Water is an issue that can unite people. Water is life. Their slogans were always very powerfully pro water, less anti mining. And through that and their boldness and reaching out to unlikely allies, they were able to gather quite a force.” Overview Water is life. Countless communities across the world, from Flint, Michigan to the Standing Rock Reservation to the Gualcarque River in Honduras, have used this phrase as a rallying cry against powerful corporations that value profits over the environment and the health of local communities. In 2002, a small group of citizens in El Salvador joined this global community of water defenders when representatives from multinational mining company Pac Rim appeared in their home province of Cabañas. This ignited a people's fight against corporate power that would last for over a decade. In The Water Defenders: How Ordinary People Saved A Country from Corporate Greed, Robin Broad and John Cavanagh tell the harrowing, inspiring saga of El Salvador's fight – and historic victory – to save their water, and their communities, from Big Gold.    Based on over a decade of research and their own role as international allies of the community groups in El Salvador, Robin Broad and John Cavanagh unspool this untold story, replete with corporate greed; a transnational lawsuit at a secretive World Bank tribunal in Washington, DC; violent threats; murders; and, surprisingly, victory. The husband-and-wife duo immerses the reader in the lives of the Salvadoran villagers, the journeys of the local activists who sought the truth about the effects of gold mining on the environment, and the behind-the-scenes maneuverings of the corporate mining executives. The Water Defenders demands that we examine our assumptions about progress and prosperity, while providing valuable lessons for other communities and allies fighting against destructive corporations in the United States and across the world. The Water Defenders: How Ordinary People Saved A Country from Corporate Greed Reviews “Broad and Cavanagh offer a practical David-versus-Goliath playbook for those who would mobilize both domestic and international forces to halt corporate abuses and to place the long-term welfare of communities above short-term financial gain.”  — Foreign Affairs “The book is an environmentalist playbook, a how-to guide for activists seeking to defeat a power structure that is rigged in favor of their opponents.”  — The American Prospect “Challenges conventional wisdom about activism, ‘the poor,' and where real power really lies.” —Guernica “Part history, part environmental organizing case study, the book chronicles the community's struggle against the mine from the early 2000s to the campaign's unlikely conclusion in 2017, when El Salvador became the first country in Latin America to completely ban metal mining.” —National Catholic Reporter “It is rare, in the world of corporate power, to have a story where David beats Goliath. And rarer still to have one that reads like a fast-paced thriller.” —Adam Hochschild, author of King Leopold's Ghost and Rebel Cinderella “Bravo to the courageous Salvadorans—and their likely and unlikely allies—who prove that victories against overwhelming odds are possible. . . . The water defenders of El Salvador and their international partners provide a powerful guidebook, poignantly retold by Broad and Cavanagh, of how the struggles for justice in the United States can link with allies abroad to build power and win.” —Opal Tometi, cofounder of Black Lives Matter “Broad and Cavanagh are masterful storytellers. The words, deeds, and stories of people in El Salvador come alive so vividly in these pages to reinforce what we in the Poor People's Campaign in the United States know well: the most powerful defenders of water, of the environment—of justice across the board—are poor people.” —Rev. Dr. William Barber II, national co-chair of the Poor People's Campaign author of The Third Reconstruction About the Authors Robin Broad is an expert in international development and was awarded a prestigious Guggenheim fellowship for her work surrounding mining in El Salvador, as well as two previous MacArthur fellowships. A professor at American University, she served as an international economist in the US Treasury Department, in the US Congress, and at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. Broad and her husband, John Cavanagh, have been involved in the Salvadoran gold mining saga since 2009. They helped build the network of international allies that spearheaded the global fight against mining in El Salvador. They have co-authored several previous books together. John Cavanagh is director of the Washington, DC-based Institute for Policy Studies, an organization that collaborates with the Poor People's Campaign and other dynamic social movements to turn ideas into action for peace, justice, and the environment. Previously, he worked with the United Nations to research corporate power. Cavanagh and his wife, Robin Broad, have been involved in the Salvadoran gold mining saga since 2009.

What do you do when all your options for school kind of suck? That was the question some folks on the Standing Rock Reservation found themselves asking a couple of years ago. Young people were being harassed in public schools, and adults were worried that their kids weren't learning important tenets of Lakota culture. So finally, a group of educators and parents decided to start a brand new school, unlike any others in the region.

It's the third Monday in November, which means this is our second episode as part of Native American Heritage Month! This week, we're bringing you an in-depth breakdown of the whole situation concerning the protests at Standing Rock Reservation over the Dakota Access Pipeline, the significance of the land (to both parties) and where things stand right now. To really understand the controversy behind the protests at Standing Rock and the fight over the Dakota Access Pipeline, we have to understand the history of mistrust and negligence that marks the relationship between our First Nations people and the United States government.  Because this isn't just a philosophical struggle over the potential impact of a long-distance crude oil pipeline - this situation brings to the forefront the centuries old efforts of Native Americans to have their sovereign rights respected and to see the treaties they made with the United States honored.  There is discussion of violence - in the context of battles and massacres that occurred historically, and in the context of contemporary protests. Some of that includes violence against women and children. If that makes you uncomfortable, here are the time stamps to miss: 13:09 - Beginning of Sand Creek Massacre Discussion (mostly context) 17:20-19:10 - Actual Description of Massacre 20:02 - Destruction of 80 Man Command on Bozeman Trail (

We're on our way back from North and South Dakota as this podcast comes out. Instead of flying, we drove out, so we could bring our coolers, which, to our delight and gratitude, are now brimming with buffalo meat. Our harvest was enough to share with our host, the many hands that helped us, and our production team too. As he always has, the buffalo provides. Now, of course, we know they're properly called bison today — scientific name Bison bison — but after a week on the Standing Rock Reservation, it's hard to call them that. There, the people — Lakota and Dakota — say buffalo. And who knows better than a people whose life way and history has been so inextricably linked to this animal. So, for now, we'll call them what they call them. Travis 'Good Bull Man' Condon — our host — invited us out to harvest a buffalo on the prairie and to share a traditional meal with some elders from the community. He put in a tremendous amount of work with us,  gutting, butchering, and packing our buffalo. He shared meals with us — and ceremony, language, stories and songs. It's hard to describe all the magic we experienced during our stay there, and most is probably best kept close to the heart anyway, but suffice it to say that we are leaving there with more than full coolers. Our hearts are full too, with joy and love, and appreciation for our new friends. We're already planning our trip back to what was some of the most beautiful country we'd ever visited and some of the most gracious folks we've ever met. Our hunt, our chokecherry harvest, and of course the incredible meal we shared after, will be featured in Season 2 of WildFed on the Outdoor Channel. We've already reviewed the footage and can hardly wait for you to see it. So, Wóphila — thanks — and gratitude. Your listenership, as always, is appreciated.

The controversial Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) made headlines around the world in 2016. Supporters called the pipeline key to safely transporting American oil from the Bakken oil fields of the northern plains to markets nationwide, essential to both national security and prosperity. Native activists named it the "black snake," referring to an ancient prophecy about a terrible snake that would one day devour the earth. Activists rallied near the Standing Rock Reservation in North Dakota for months in opposition to DAPL, winning an unprecedented but temporary victory before the federal government ultimately permitted the pipeline. Oil began flowing on June 1, 2017. The water protector camps drew global support and united more than three hundred tribes in perhaps the largest Native alliance in U.S. history. While it faced violent opposition, the peaceful movement against DAPL has become one of the most crucial human rights movements of our time. Katherine Wiltenburg Todrys' book Black Snake: Standing Rock, the Dakota Access Pipeline, and Environmental Justice (U Nebraska Press, 2021) is the story of four leaders--LaDonna Allard, Jasilyn Charger, Lisa DeVille, and Kandi White--and their fight against the pipeline. It is the story of Native nations combating environmental injustice and longtime discrimination and rebuilding their communities. It is the story of a new generation of environmental activists, galvanized at Standing Rock, becoming the protectors of America's natural resources. Ryan Driskell Tate writes on fossil fuels, climate change, and the American West. He holds a Ph.D. from Rutgers University, and is completing a book on fossil fuel development in the Powder River Basin. Learn more about your ad choices.

Claudia Cragg @claudiacragg speaks with Robin Broad and 's John Cavanagh, authors of In a time when countless communities are resisting powerful corporations: from Flint, Michigan to the Standing Rock Reservation, from Didipio in the Philippines to the Gualcarque River in Honduras, The Water Defenders presents the inspirational story of a community that took on an international mining corporation at seemingly insurmountable odds and won not one but two historic victories. In the early 2000s, many people in El Salvador were at first excited by the prospect of jobs, progress and prosperity that the Pacific Rim mining company promised. However, farmer Vidalina Morales, brothers Marcelo and Miguel Rivera, and others soon discovered that the river system supplying water to the majority of Salvadorans was in danger of catastrophic contamination as a result. With a group of unlikely allies, local and global, they committed to stopping the corporation and the destruction of their home.  Based on over a decade of research and their own role as international allies of the community groups in El Salvador, Robin Broad and John Cavanagh unspool this little-known story – a tale replete with corporate greed, a transnational lawsuit at a secretive World Bank tribunal in Washington, violent threats, murders and – surprisingly – victory. The husband-and-wife duo immerses the reader in the lives of the Salvadoran villagers, the journeys of the local activists who sought the truth about the effects of gold mining on the environment, and the behind-the-scenes maneuverings of the corporate mining executives and their lawyers. The Water Defenders demands that we examine our assumptions about progress and prosperity, while providing valuable lessons for those fighting against destructive corporations in the United States and around the world. Robin Broad and John Cavanagh are a husband-and-wife team who have been involved in the Salvadoran gold mining saga since 2009. Robin is an expert in international development and won a prestigious Guggenheim Fellowship for her work on this project, as well as two previous MacArthur fellowships. A professor at American University, she served as an international economist in the US Treasury Department, in the US Congress, and at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. John is Director of the Washington-based Institute for Policy Studies, an organization that collaborates with the Poor People's Campaign and other dynamic social movements to turn ideas into action for peace, justice and the environment. He previously worked with the United Nations to research corporate power. Broad and Cavanagh helped build the International Allies group that spearheaded the global fight against mining in El Salvador. They have co-authored several previous books together.-

At a time when countless communities are resisting powerful corporations—from Flint, Michigan, to the Standing Rock Reservation, to Didipio in the Philippines, to the Gualcarque River in Honduras— The Water Defenders tells the inspirational story of a community that took on an international mining corporation at seemingly insurmountable odds and won not one but two historic victories. In the early 2000s, many people in El Salvador were at first excited by the prospect of jobs, progress, and prosperity that the Pacific Rim mining company promised. However, farmer Vidalina Morales, brothers Marcelo and Miguel Rivera, and others soon discovered that the river system supplying water to the majority of Salvadorans was in danger of catastrophic contamination. With a group of unlikely allies, local and global, they committed to stop the corporation and the destruction of their home.

Listen now to WACA's Cover to Cover from Wednesday, April 28, 2021, featuring co-authors Robin Broad, Professor of International Development at American University, and John Cavanagh, Executive Director of the Institute for Policy Studies.  The Water Defenders: How Ordinary People Saved a Country from Corporate Greed At a time when countless communities are resisting powerful corporations—from Flint, Michigan, to the Standing Rock Reservation, to Didipio in the Philippines, to the Gualcarque River in Honduras—The Water Defenders tells the inspirational story of a community that took on an international mining corporation at seemingly insurmountable odds and won not one but two historic victories. In the early 2000s, many people in El Salvador were at first excited by the prospect of jobs, progress, and prosperity that the Pacific Rim mining company promised. However, farmer Vidalina Morales, brothers Marcelo and Miguel Rivera, and others soon discovered that the river system supplying water to the majority of Salvadorans was in danger of catastrophic contamination. With a group of unlikely allies, local and global, they committed to stop the corporation and the destruction of their home. Based on over a decade of research and their own role as international allies of the community groups in El Salvador, Robin Broad and John Cavanagh unspool this untold story—a tale replete with corporate greed, a transnational lawsuit at a secretive World Bank tribunal in Washington, violent threats, murders, and—surprisingly—victory. The husband-and-wife duo immerses the reader in the lives of the Salvadoran villagers, the journeys of the local activists who sought the truth about the effects of gold mining on the environment, and the behind-the-scenes maneuverings of the corporate mining executives and their lawyers. The Water Defenders demands that we examine our assumptions about progress and prosperity, while providing valuable lessons for those fighting against destructive corporations in the United States and across the world.

It's amazing the way things come together sometimes. What seems to be a series of random encounters string together over time culminating into a predetermined life-affirming - or in this case, afterlife affirming moment. Fate, as some people call it. This spiritual road trip began with a near-death vision at a compound in rural Virginia, intersected with a death-themed Mardi Gras Krewe in New Orleans, and was steered along by a canoeing Canadian commemorating his uncle. All leading D.S. Moss to Standing Rock Reservation looking for an old stone Memento Mori den.

Welcome to the Long Feather Racing episode of Endurance Horse Podcast with The Milwaukee Art Museum & Veterans Light Up the Arts   Created February 27, 2020 Welcome to episode 35  of Endurance Horse Podcast!        This topic may seem to have little to do with endurance riding, we distance riders are often talking about riding the same horse over many miles,  in this episode we talk to a father who manages a racing team that is comprised of his family members.  Long Feather Racing Team  stands tall among the many skilled teams who participate in Indian Relay Racing.     One rider, 3 horses and many team members comprise the team.  Riders must mount bareback on their own power and relay onto three horses to win this race.  Though swapping horses, high speeds and bareback seem to have little to do with endurance,  I reached out to Richard Long Feather of Standing Rock Reservation to connect with him and listen in as  shares his love of Indian Relay Racing.       It is funny how things come together if you track them backwards.  As you may know, I had the idea for WARHORSE Endurance ride, that then also led me to loan an idea and name for a second ride to Laura  to change the name and theme of her ride.  I loaned her the name I had for another ride, Spirit Horse.  Laura then spoke to people who gave her the idea to fund raise for an equine program at Rosebud Reservation- which brought me to purchasing the DVD, HORSE NATION, which helped me to find out about the Mankato ride, and the Wounded Knee ride, and then apparently FB suggested Long Feather Racing-  and so I found Richard’s family & now Richard is on Endurance Horse Podcast.    Richard’s family works as a team traveling during the racing season covering many miles with typically six horses to care for.  This sounded very familiar to the ride camp we all travel around to.  I wanted to make a connection with Endurance Horse Podcast and this amazing family.  As you can see, what started out as a short interview turned into much more as I found myself enjoying this man’s love for his horses and his home.  I hope you all can forgive me as I learn the more technical side of recording.  I think that we had a bad phone connection, though I hope you can listen long enough to see what a good horse connection we made.  Sit back, hold on and enjoy the ride!   Click here to see a preview of We are a Horse Nation on YouTube To find We are a Horse Nation you can search on Amazon or click here   Christina Hyke Cheers to 2020!   Richard & Jace Long Feather, Standing Rock Reservation, ND Wiyanka Hanska-Long Feather Racing on Facebook   Horse Nations Indian Relay Racing Council Racing Photo Credit: A by A Photography Washington, USA on Facebook   To learn more about Indian Relay Racing:  Relay Horse Magazine Horse Nations Indian Relay Council Horse Nations Indian Relay Council- on Facebook   Navajo Code Talker -Thomas Begay   Thomas Begay singing in Navajo the Marine Hymn   Wisconsin Veterans Chamber of Commerce   Veterans Light Up the Arts   Milwaukee Art Museum   Trickster Art Gallery Cultural Center Distance Riding Association of Wisconsin    Christina ‘Send me files’ Hyke Wisconsin, USA          Creator of Endurance Horse Podcast  WARHORSE  Endurance Horse Podcast  Join the Group on Facebook    Christina Hyke, creator of Endurance Horse Podcast, lives in southern Wisconsin with her sweet husband, Jim.   Chris is an equine & pet photographer, and Ride Manager of WARHORSE Endurance.  She has always loved the trails and spent every moment she could riding since before she could walk.   It was the love of covering miles through beautiful territory on good horses that inspired her to create a podcast about it to share stories with other riders from around the world.     Cheers & Happy Trails! www.christinahyke.com

During the protests over the Dakota Access Pipeline, David Archambault was the leader of the Standing Rock nation. As the tribal Chairman he had the challenging role of negotiating with the oil executives, politics, Barack Obama, activists and his ow people. David articulated the reality of historic trauma of his people, and the 40% poverty rate among Native people. He spoke about his father's experience of boarding schools, where kids as young as 4 would be forcibly removed from their parents and placed in schools where it was attempted to 'kill the Indian, save the man'. David is a peaceable, humble man. The Native American understanding of the interconnectedness of all of the environment was beautiful. In the face of growing inequality that is manifesting in a deepening climate crisis, humanity will do well to be lead by a way of life exemplified by the indigenous populations of North America. 

Hi! My name is Terry J. Aman and this installment marks my 58th episode of "VideoFuzzy," my twice-monthly progress report on cataloging more than 2,800 VHS transfers and digital recordings. In this installment, titled "Trips to the Past," I wax nostalgic as music playing at the City Brew takes me back. For my Friday Night Feature, I take a long, hard look at a second-season episode of "Primeval." In Cross Connections, I track "Studio Six Feet Under" connections for "Primeval," including its ties with "The Crown." I track connections from Jessalyn Gilsig from "Nip/Tuck" to "Glee" and "Heroes." Also, Donal Logue from the second season premiere of "Life" takes me to the IMDb credit of friend of the podcast Heather Welliver. In my Classic VHS-to-DVD Collection, I talk about the fifth season premiere of "The Office," Homer gets a PC in a 12th season episode of "The Simpsons," a fifth season episode of "Boston Legal," second season episode of "Mad Men" and the second season premiere of "Chuck." In my direct-to-DVD Current Collection, comments on community access cable presentations including the visit by Swedish teen activist Greta Thunberg to Standing Rock Reservation south of Bismarck, a short history of the rail bridge crossing the Missouri River between Bismarck and Mandan, and Sean Gaskell playing the West African kota. Also, a profile called "Shadowcatcher" on Bismarck photographer Shane Balkowitsch by University of Mary student filmmaker Phillip Litton. Also, comments on "Superstore" and "The Good Place." In VideoFuzzy at the Movies, comments on the FX presentation of "The Kingsman: The Golden Circle" and the TNT presentation of "The Imitation Game" starring Benedict Cumberbatch as cryptanalyst Alan Turing. And in What I've Been Watching, a spoiler-y commentary on McKellan and Mirren in recent release "The Good Liar." Enjoy!

The historian Nick Estes traces two centuries of Indigenous-led resistance and anti-colonial struggle. Our History is the Future: Standing Rock Versus the Dakota Access Pipeline, and the Long Tradition of Indigenous Resistance (Verso, 2019) moves from settler colonialism and Indian Wars to the front lines of indigenous climate activism today. He places the #NoDAPL movement, to block Dakota Access oil pipeline at the Standing Rock Reservation in North Dakota in 2016, squarely within the tradition of indigenous resistance to settler erasure. The book weaves historical analysis into intergenerational stories and demonstrates that Standing Rock’s demands for native sovereignty and liberation are as much the outcome of history as they a harbinger of things to come. Ryan Driskell Tate is a Ph.D. candidate in American history at Rutgers University. He teaches courses on modern United States history, environmental history, and histories of labor and capitalism.

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.

I recently went on a road trip to South Dakota with my mom and sister, Autumn. I talked to her about what it's like to be an indigenous woman working in education on the Rosebud Reservation. Autumn talks about her experience at Yale University, protesting the Dakota Access Pipeline on the Standing Rock Reservation, and culture preservation. This is also a fun look at our relationship as brother and sister!

Wounded Knee, South Dakota, afternoon and evening of July 25th, 2017 From McLaughlin, Standing Rock Reservation, South Dakota, I make the 5-hour drive south to my next destination in the Pine Ridge Reservation, just a little ways north of the Nebraska border. My drive takes me through Badlands National Park, though only for a short while. What I see of it is beautiful, and I certainly plan to return. My destination is Wounded Knee, named for Wounded Knee Creek and the site of a conflict between the United States Army and the band of Chief Spotted Elk, or Big Foot, as the U.S. army dubbed him...

Bruce Snyder, a retired Baltimore County firefighter who serves as a spiritual counselor, traveled with his 22-year-old stepson, Jesse Hanlon, to the Standing Rock Reservation in North Dakota to support the ongoing Sioux protest of the Dakota Access Pipeline. Snyder provided medical care and Hanlon constructed yurts for winter housing. They witnessed a gathering of thousands of demonstrators who oppose the construction of the DALP near Sioux water supplies and cultural sites on the reservation. Snyder and Hanlon describe their experiences, including their encounters with Sioux elders, in this episode of the podcast.

~ Dedicated to Genessa Kealoha Journal: Faith, South Dakota, early morning July 24th, 2017 I woke up in the backseat of the rental car this morning feeling just a little stiff. I drove late into the night last night so I could break up the long drive. I stayed alert enough to continue until a little after midnight, but then sleepiness began to give me that oddly swaying feeling; time to pull over. I chose a nice big gravel lot with a semi truck parked close to the road.

I've decided to leave it ready for such impromptu car campings. When I awoke, I stepped out to a soft cool morning. It had rained intermittently last night and there were still a few occasional drops falling.

I thanked him but decided to push on. I had a little thermos with some coffee left and had felt the urge to keep going. But what a generous man! I did rebuke myself afterward for not stopping in just to show that I appreciated the invitation...
