"the Women of Standing Rock"

The Women of Standing Rock


“A nation is not conquered until the hearts of its women are on the ground. Then it is done, no matter how brave its warriors or strong its weapons.” ~Cheyenne proverb. The trailer for the film: "End of the Line: The Women of Standing Rock, documents the nonviolent resistance of a proposed crude oil pipeline near the Standing Rock Sioux reservation. Concerns about the destruction of sacred sites and potential impact of spills on the water supply and economic viability of the tribe have mobilized thousands of supporters from around the world to gather at Sacred Stone Camp. Despite the closure of the camp in February 2017, the protests continue in Washington, DC and in solidarity across the globe.

and their horrific treatment. The cowards that hired an army of mercenaries to use chemical warfare on humans simply coming across the river, chasing the Buffalo Nation away, they are nothing but cretins with no soul.

These ladies have stood up to the worst part of our country. It is time to figure out how to stop this atrocity.

And the demons of his dark, greedy nature. Surely, the fight to save Native American burial sites is important, but the fight to save us all, Indian and non-Indian alike, from what will become a burial ground for all of us if we keep on poisoning the water is much more important, and the overarching goal here. Water is Life!!!
