Joining me is Reuben Fast Horse! Reueben was born on the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation, and is a traditional Lakhota singer, dancer, flutist, drummer, craftsman and storyteller. Ancient, primitive and mystical rituals sought to invoke the supernatural world to the natural through music, dance and myth. Like dreams the songs, the costumes, the stories and the form of the dance contained messages coming from deep within the unconscious mind. Dreamstate is the ecstasy of experience in this sense nightmares are the ecstasy of fear. These often surreal, lucid and mysterious episodes are played out in our minds and communicate a language of symbols that awaken us to the spiritual potentialities of our collective being. Our inspirations derive from myths & dreams where the divine mingles with humanity. The new mythology of our time is already here, the eye of reason, not of my economics, the eye of reason, not of my religion, the eye of reason, not of my linguistics, the eye of reason, not of my nationality, the eye of reason.When you see the world as a part of yourself you will take care of it. When you see yourself as part of the world you will be taken care of.When you see the earth from the moon there are no lines of division of states or nations.We are the earth, we are the consciousness of the earth........these are the eyes of the earth and this is the voice of the earth. Fast Horse is an accomplished educator and Lakotah language instructor who has lectured on Native American culture to audiences in the United States and abroad.

The world responded to DAPL, the Dakota Access Pipeline during a time when Energy Transfer Partners were laying a pipeline that threatened the lifeline of the Missouri River that lay across the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation. Prior to this movement, the US Army Corp of Engineers had recently proposed the pipeline to be placed above Bismark, ND and the North Dakota was not going that have the threat of that pipeline leaking into their water resources whatsoever, so what do they do? they move it below Bismark, and right above the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation. Little did anyone know the federal process of Appendix C and Nationwide Permit 12 of the USACE had a dismissive process that would not allow the tribes a voice that carried any leverage to stop this pipeline, where the people of this tribal community shared the exact same concerns as the city of Bismark. Listen to this episode to learn about the THPO responses and how tribal consultation had begun fighting this battle years before any of these actions, and learn about the efforts that the tribes can take, in an effort to change the game.In this episode, Host Sheila Bird sits with Women's Council members RaeLynn Butler of the Muskogee Creek Nation and Deanna Byrd of the Choctaw Nation as we welcome our guest Charles "Chip" Smith,  Assistant for Environment, Tribal & Regulatory Affairs; Office of the Assistant Secretary of the Army for Civil Works.

The Human Family presents Human Voices, a podcast featuring conversations from artists and filmmakers creating socially aware and relevant art. In this episode, photographer Shane Balkowitsch returns to discuss his work, “Standing For Us All.” The 8x10 glass ambrotype features a full-length portrait of climate change activist Greta Thunberg at Prairie Knights Casino, Fort Yates, North Dakota on the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation. The image was recognized by the Jury of the 2020 North Dakota Human Rights Arts Festival as this year’s “Photo of Cultural Significance.” The photo is currently archived at the U.S. Library of Congress. Our special extended conversation with Shane discusses the creation of the piece and the controversy that developed in his home-town of Bismarck, North Dakota, when Shane’s intention to add a reproduction of the work to the downtown arts scene took the online community by storm.

Today we’re joined by Outreach Organizer Leoyla Cowboy and Executive Director Carl Williams of the Water Protector Legal Collective. The Water Protector Legal Collective was formed in 2016 in response to the need to provide legal support for activists protesting the Dakota Access Pipeline at the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation in North Dakota.   Leoyla recounts her own personal experiences at Standing Rock, including meeting her husband Michael "Little Feather" Giron. Little Feather is currently in Federal prison, having been charged alongside six other indigenous water protectors, for resisting the Dakota Access Pipeline. We hear about the work that WPLC has done and continues to do for these activists as well as hundreds of others who faced state charges, as well as indigenous activists engaged in other fights for sovereignty. Carl discusses the limits of the US legal system for providing justice to indigenous people especially, and the difficulties movement lawyers face in a system that is set up against those they serve.   Leoyla and Carl also talk about a May 9 hearing of the Organization of American States’ Inter-American Commission on Human Rights addressing the “Suppression of Indigenous Resistance to Extractive Industries in North America”, a hearing called for by WPLC. Leoyla talks about her experience testifying at the hearing, and Carl describes how the hearing, while unlikely to lead to any dramatic changes, is helping to build connections between indigenous groups and allies across the Americas and bring attention to their common struggles.   Follow the WPLC on twitter at @WaterProtectUs, on facebook, and at their website.

Warning: this interview between Louisa Willcox and actress and activist Margot Kidder could change your life. Margot was a brilliant spokesperson for the underdog and the dispossessed, who cared deeply about wilderness and the fate of the planet. Margie was also my friend, and one of the most generous, hilarious, smart and beautiful people I have ever met. Margie enjoyed a successful career acting, known, in particular, for her role as Lois Lane in the Superman Series alongside Christopher Reeves. This interview was done in December, 2016, shortly after Margie returned from unprecedented protests at the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation in North Dakota, aimed at stopping a pipeline from being built under the Missouri River. Within a week of this interview, the Trump administration ordered the razing of the protest site, forcible removal of all remaining protesters, and completion of the pipeline. The time then did not seem ripe to publish this piece, but Margie passed in May, 2018, and I feel that others could be empowered and inspired by her perspectives and experience at the protest. She offers insights here that have not been covered in the press. Margie shares a powerful and clear vision for improving our relations with each other, and the importance of challenging the dominant role of the extractive energy industry and tackling perhaps the most important problem of our time: climate change.

Art from cultures not included in mainstream America-- Zuni Pueblo,Standing Rock Sioux Reservation, Coeburn VA-- have more in common than one might think. Why do humans create art and why is it important to all our lives? This is just one question that is addressed in this Mountain Talk discussion of art and creativity, as we seek to take back the narrative of our lives in the places we live! Host Kelli Haywood, Kelsie Makae Hale, Ron Short, and Edward Wemytewa converse on the importance of art in representing ourselves and our culture.

Jasilyn Charger was one of the first people to set up camp at the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation in April 2016. Along with youth from neighboring tribes, the then-19-year-old helped raise awareness about construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline by staging a 2,000-mile run from North Dakota to Washington. By the time the group returned to Standing Rock, the camp population had swelled into the thousands. One year later, she reflects on the protests and how the movement has changed the course of her life.

The oil protests at the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation drew national attention. On Reveal, we team up with Inside Energy to go behind the scenes and meet the young people who started the fight.

Confused about what's really happening at Standing Rock? Lets get the facts: Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) is a pipe that is supposed to carry 570,000 barrels of crude oil per day from the Dakotas to Illinois. On July 27, 2016, The Standing Rock Sioux Tribe, filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for violating the National Historic Preservation Act when the agency issued final permits for a massive crude oil pipeline stretching from North Dakota to Illinois. This complaint asserts that the Corps violated multiple environmental and historic preservation statutes, focusing on the decision to reroute the pipeline from Bismarck, North Dakota to the doorstep of the Standing Rock reservation without adequate environmental analysis. The Dakota Access Pipeline project, also known as Bakken Oil Pipeline, would extend 1,168 miles across North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa, and Illinois, crossing through communities, farms, tribal land, sensitive natural areas and wildlife habitat. The pipeline would carry crude oil from the Bakken oil fields in North Dakota to Illinois where it will link with another pipeline that will transport the oil to terminals and refineries along the Gulf of Mexico. The Corps granted permits for the pipeline in July 2016 under Nationwide Permitting. This process circumvents any kind of close environmental review and public process. The Lake Oahe crossing requires an additional approval—known as an easement—because it crosses federally owned land on either side of the Missouri River. It was this easement that the government confirmed would not be granted. On Feb. 8, the Trump administration granted the Lake Oahe easement, allowing the pipeline to be constructed under the Missouri River half a mile upstream of the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation. During this process thousands of protestors came to Standing rock, to try to hold off the giant machines that were coming in to drill the land. Despite some of the most organized and visible protesting a Native American cause has ever had, the cries fell on deaf ears. The protestors were shot with rubber pellets threatened and physically assaulted. The camps have since been destroyed and the pipeline is slated to be finished as quickly as possible. I met Frank, A Sioux medicine man at a Sweat Lodge he had created after the weekend of protesting. I had the privilege of sitting with him, letting deep hot steam cleanse me of some of the black thick toxic energy I have been carrying around with me since someone pulled the cord out of my head and I woke up matrix style and I realized that there was no autonomy, and we're all tiny puppets being controlled by a bunch of rape hungry deliverance good old boys. Frank is incredible, kind, soft, thoughtful and an incredible storyteller. I am honored to be able to tell a tiny part of his story. I implore you to get involved anyway you can. Stop supporting corporations who support environmental degradation (Wells Fargo, Caterpiller, Chevron Coca Cola, Ford, Monsanto, Nestle, Pfizer, Wal-Mart) Open your eyes. Watch out for fake news stories from bullshit alt right garbage collectors like (Washington Times, Activist Post, , Dc Gazette, Bloomberg.ma, usatoday.com.co, Denver Gaurdian) Become an active member of your community. Learn about who is trying to take independent or democratic seats in the upcoming 2018 congressional elections. It's simple, we can keep watching the titanic go down in flames or millions of us can take up a thimble and start bailing little bits of water out. We're fucked, don't get me wrong. But we can at least go down with dignity as a species who tried, not just a bunch of selfish cunts wasting away like Narcissus lost in our own reflection, thinking we're the star of our own mini Truman show. www.standingrock.org https://www.naha-inc.org http://lakotalaw.org

More than 1,000 people protesting the Dakota Access pipeline have taken refuge in community centers and a casino on the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation; we explain why.

As winter descends on North Dakota, thousands of Native Americans from tribes around the U.S., as well as Canadian First Nations and other allies, continue to protest the construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline. The project, which will run through sacred sites and under the water supply of the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation, could also affect the water supply of as many as 25 million people in the event of an environmental disaster. Leena Minifie, videographer and editor at Ricochet`s Indigenous Reporting Fund, recently joined the protest encampment outside of Canon Ball, North Dakota and has filed a video report at Ricochet Media. In this conversation, she discusses what she witnessed at the encampment. For more background and historical context to this story, go to http://www.ndstudies.org/resources/IndianStudies/standingrock/timeline_1889.html To learn more about the ongoing fight against the Dakota Access Pipeline or for information on how to get involved check out the Indigenous Environmental Network at ienearth.org.

Catherine Collentine, Senior Campaign Representative, Dirty Fuels Initiative for Sierra Club’s Our Wild America Campaign, discusses the Dakota Access Pipeline, a $3.8B 1,100 mile fracked-oil pipeline currently under construction from the Bakken shale fields of North Dakota to Peoria, Illinois. This pipeline is planned to transport 570,000 barrels of crude oil a day between North Dakota and Illinois. DAPL is slated to cross Lakota Treaty Territory at the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation where it would be laid underneath the Missouri River, the longest river on the continent.

Big Blend Radio interview with Cody Hall, spokesperson for the Red Warrior Camp, a collective of folks who believe in meeting their prayers halfway through Nonviolent Direct Action, to stop the Dakota Access Pipeline. According to https://nodaplsolidarity.org: "The “Dakota Acces” Pipeline (DAPL) is a $3.8B, 1,100 mile fracked-oil pipeline currently under construction from the Bakken shale fields of North Dakota to Peoria, Illinois. DAPL is slated to cross Lakota Treaty Territory at the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation where it would be laid underneath the Missouri River, the longest river on the continent.Construction of the DAPL would engender a renewed fracking-frenzy in the Bakken shale region, as well as endanger a source of fresh water for the Standing Rock Sioux and 8 million people living downstream. DAPL would also impact many sites that are sacred to the Standing Rock Sioux and other indigenous nations.The DAPL is a massive project being organized by a shady group of the world’s largest fossil-fuel companies and banks. They have offices in cities around the world. Putting direct, nonviolent pressure on the corporations building and funding this project is critical for supporting frontline resistance to DAPL."
