TALK: BY DR. JENNIFER C. VEILLEUX : Stand at Standing Rock Sioux Reservation: what it means for water and you.

The Stand at Standing Rock Sioux Reservation:
what it means for water and you.
On
Standing Rock Sioux Reservation in North Dakota, Native American Tribes are standing against development of a 1,172 mile oil pipeline. Mississippi Rivers. The Dakota Access Pipeline, or DAPL, is designed to cross hundreds of waterways including the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers.

Water protectors are led by indigenous peoples and joined by non-native allies from around the country and world. More than 240 recognized Tribes stand in solidarity with Standing Rock against this threat of potential contamination of our longest and largest national water basins. This moment is unprecendented in contempoary times: this is the largest gathering of Native American Tribes. They stand unwavering under the banner of Mni Wiconi, Lakota words that express: Water is Life.

Jennifer will share the story of the movement, her trip to North Dakota, and her current participation.
