Native Americans have been defending homeland security since 1492. The current struggle to stop an oil pipeline (Dakota Access Pipeline) near sacred Lakota land in North Dakota has brought to the attention the continuous struggle of Native people’s to defend their land, water, and cultural roots. We at La Peña stand with Standing Rock and encourage people to visit these websites to support their struggle, which is everyone’s struggle: clean water for ourselves, our children and the future generations who cannot survive the greed of corporations unless we do something about it before it’s too late.
If you can’t make it to Standing Rock physically, here are other ways you can help:
