The fight for Standing Rock took the media by storm in the fall of 2016. Images of protest and unrest surfaced on every major media outlet. Filmmaker Bennett Johnson felt there was more of a story to be told, and he focused his film on a small group of who protested in prayer; the battle they fought was in solidarity, peace, and faith. This film, set to Foreign Field‘s song “Hope Inside the Fire,” delivers the message that this event had many stories go untold.
As we move into the next chapter of this movement, we must dance. Mother Earth needs our prayers more than ever. To ground ourselves is to love ourselves and all our relations.

Yesterday, you all gave $323,643 so that indigenous Water Protectors in Standing Rock could purchase a fleet of trucks/vans. They bought these two trucks today and are already using them as we speak.

Quote: Gerald Miller: The Army Corps of Engineers is talking about raising the level of the lake which would flood the drill platform. It means the camp would have to move to higher ground but that would end everything. Let’s all hope they go through with it.

As you can see #DAPL is still working despite the judges ruling and the denial of the permit to drill on the easement! Dakota Access Pipeline and its owner Energy Transfer Partners do not respect their own country and its laws, they are the true criminals. #NODAPL#MniWiconi#NoPipelines

Today, a handful of veterans that arrived at camp walked up to the blockade to speak to the police officers. They held their hands up to show they were unarmed, to which the reply was, “You are not allowed on the bridge. The signs clearly say that the bridge is closed, why do you have your hands up? what does that mean? does it mean you don’t know how to read? does it mean that you can’t read the signs? If you have something to say to us call Morton County Sheriff’s Department.” | 11.30.16 #WaterIsLife#NoDAPL#StandWithStandingRock#MniWiconi#Veterans#WaterProtectors#OcetiSakowin#WeAreDine#ProtectTheSacred
As many as 2,000 veterans from diverse backgrounds planned to serve as human shields. “We have every age, we have every war.”

“Bragman, a former Fairfax mayor and councilman, said regarding his motivations: “At first, I thought it was an impossible situation, but at this point we’re facing so many challenges that are so severe that I thought impossible is just not acceptable anymore.”
During their brief stay, Greene and Bragman, both attorneys, did some preliminary legal research and strategizing regarding a potential legal challenge to the plan to run the pipeline under Lake Oahe, an artificial lake created by the Army Corps on the Missouri River.
They met with Phyllis Young, a tribal councilwoman for the Standing Rock Sioux tribe and a member of its treaty council. Bragman said Young told them that Congress adopted legislation to compensate the tribe for 56,000 acres of prime ranchland that were lost when the Army Corps built the dam that created Lake Oahe in 1948.
Bragman said he was curious to find out if that compensation included “subjacent,” or underground rights, beneath Lake Oahe. Using a borrowed laptop computer at a nearby casino, he said he made some discoveries.
Under a 1958 congressional authorization to partially compensate the tribe, “there is a specific reservation of right for oil, gas and all mineral rights whatsoever,” Bragman said.
“I believe under that clause the tribe retains rights to those subjacent, underground areas that the pipeline company is intending to tunnel through,” Bragman said.
He said another congressional action in 1992 “more sharply defined and limited the Army Corps of Engineers’ authority at Lake Oahe.”
“The Army Corps of Engineers has authority over the operation and maintenance of Lake Oahe,” Bragman said, “but the tribe has retained its right to the area beneath the lake bed that the pipeline would violate.” “
Chris Turley just walked over 200 miles to Standing Rock to show his solidarity for the water protectors. He is one of the thousands of veterans coming this week. Let’s show him some love. Share!!!

They say these people doing it, are from over seas:( But in fact the ones they mention? They were started from the usa White House! With destroying the Grids or destroying all power currents EMP style?
But then they go on to show how to survive with an Amish life style! Yes, they want to sell the info they gathered, via a book they have.
I think they are talking about putting electric or solar items into a cardboard box and wrapping it in aluminum foil to protect the working parts from being fried, so it can be used later? Plus just living the ‘Off The Grid’ life style. Old Fashion !
Or else the real poor style of what we use to call going rough camping.
Are we ever totally prepared? Maybe in the past but not now? Away from the sources you use to have? Wow! Get creative on how to stay warm in winter!!!!!!! How to have food and clean drinking water!!!!!!!
I have been gathering tips on survival over the years and sharing those tips for free in my blogs! I hope they have helped!
