"We Are Still Here"~Solidarity with Standing Rock
I don't usually do something like this, but getting the message out there is something very important to me. Nawáh, sšúxu`. KatatAxaáA Gidybaus. Taatačitaá'A káNIt, wiitatshánu na sahnish. Hello, my relatives. My name is Bright Eyes. I come from the Mandan, Hidatsa and Arikara tribes. I am a Standing Rock activist within the state of Montana and I am originally from North Dakota. I go to Montana State for paleontology and Native American studies. I have been to the Oceti Sakowin and Sacred Stone camps numerous times before this and I am currently sitting in one of my afternoon classes as I write this. Today has been particularly hard for me since the evictions are still taking place at Standing Rock. Innocent people are being arrested and this is all for an oil pipeline. A pipeline. A piece of machinery. I don't know about you, but this is just wrong. Since when have human beings stooped to a level where a man-made structure is more important than people's lives and wellbeing? Where did the love for people of different religion, sex, color, etc. go in this short of time? This pipeline has affected my view on the entire world and it saddens me that law enforcement would rather protect a black snake rather than men, women, children, two spirits, elders, etc. North Dakota has turned from my home state to something I don't even recognize anymore. I don't talk about race here because it's not about that. This is about human decency and we have lost that as a species. Only when we cut down the last tree, killed the last animal, and polluted our last water source will people realize that we cannot eat or drink money. My Indigenous brothers and sisters, along with people of all different colors and genders are standing against the creed of oil companies and state governments. I stand with Standing Rock and I ask you to stand up. Aho! ✊🏽

#Repost @indigenous1492 ・・・ Today I witnessed a stand off at the 1806 bridge barricade north of #OcetiOyate camp. The National Guard was present in riot gear as a bulldozer built up the barricade. Today, fortunately, no force was used. However, last night I witnessed an intense confrontation between protesters and police that lasted long into the night. The police used rubber bullets, bean bag rounds, pepper spray, and tear gas on unarmed #waterprotectors. A group of protesters who left the bridge and flanked out to the edge of the razor wire fence was rushed by police on snowmobiles and snow cats. One protester was run over by a snowmobile. Someone on the legal team told us that through the whole night, 13 people were arrested. One of the 13 was my dear friend Sam (@greenteamochi666), and her front tooth was chipped after being thrown to the ground by a policeman. Another friend, also named Sam, was sprayed with pepper spray while he was praying and singing, and he spent the whole night in jail with his hair and clothes soaked in mace. #standingrock #NoDAPL #mniwiconi #waterislife #NoPipeline #DakotaAccess #NorthDakota #standwithstandingrock #solidaritywithstandingrock #Indigenous1492

In regards to the recent victory for standing rock
I think first and foremost we need to thank the nodapl protestors who were on the front line. No doubt. But secondly I think we should all thank each other and our family and friends for caring about this struggle. If there is one thing that I don't think can be over looked it's that this movement brought forward people who don't normally chime in on political struggles. I just want to reach out to all of you who normally stay silent about politics and say WE NEED YOU! If only to voice your opinion or throw down a few bucks on fundraisers. These struggles are constant. They didn't start nor will they end with standing rock. Please stay informed and involved. These struggles effect us all. We truly have more power than we think and it's high time we start using it. From those on the front lines to those talking to coworkers or family members. Everything that you do matters. Thank you, but don't go anywhere. This shit ain't over. All power to the people!

Here we are gearing up for Thanksgiving whilst Native Americans - our fellow indigenous communities are being tear gassed and once again their culture is being threatened. Please take a moment to recognize the irony. This is all too real for us in Guatemala working with and living amongst indigenous communities. Please do your part to stand in solidarity. Show support and compassion for indigenous communities all around the world that face these unbearable acts of injustice that challenge and compromise their way of living. To donate needed supplies direct to the Camp of the Sacred Stones in North Dakota click the blog link in my bio. | 📷 @alvaradodii #noDAPL #indigenouspeople #solidaritywithstandingrock

We are making another edition of Solidarity with Standing Rock posters available as a fundraiser. You can get one at shop. Dignidadrebelde.com (link in bio)We have created this poster to amplify the message of the water protectors and land defenders. We are selling a limited number of posters as a fundraiser to help with the bail funds, to purchase art supplies to take to the camp and to winterize the camp. Standing in solidarity with Standing Rock and the struggle to stop the building of the Dakota Access Pipeline. The DAPL is a proposed crude pipeline which crosses treaty territories, threatening the Missouri River, impacting immediately Cannonball, North Dakota of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe. #nodapl #solidaritywithstandingrock #waterislife #indigenoussovereignty #mniwiconi #nodapl✊🏽 #waterprotectors

Morning Blues... Beautiful art by a few tribes of the Native American / American Indian people. Sadly, these people are still being persecuted by the American government. Please update yourself on the Dakota - Access Pipeline tragedy occurring right now. You'd think after colonists immigrated, murdered, raped and stole land to destroy - these people would receive some inkling of respect. Sadly, it's clear that money supersedes the importance of basic human rights and this sacred land, despite promised, is being stolen again. Graves of ancestors being plowed. Men, women and children begging for the last piece of life they can cling to as they watch their children's future dissolve in front of them... I have to ask myself, "WHAT YEAR IS IT?!" I am heartbroken 💔 But here I am, writing this from the comfort of my home. Unthreatened. Pregnant. Feeling so deeply for these people. All I can do is use my voice here to share this news. #nodakotaaccess #nodapl #rezpectourwater #standwithstandingrock #standingrock #solidaritywithstandingrock (at Nevada City, California)
