In 2016, a small protest encampment at the Standing Rock
reservation in North Dakota, initially established to block
construction of the Dakota Access oil pipeline, grew to be the
largest Indigenous protest movement in the twenty-first century,
attracting tens of thousands of Indigenous and non-Native allies
from around the world. Its slogan "Mni Wiconi"-Water is Life-was
about more than just a pipeline. Water Protectors knew this battle
for Native sovereignty had already been fought many times before,
and that, even after the encampment was gone, their anti-colonial
struggle would continue. In Our History is the Future, Nick Estes
traces traditions of Indigenous resistance leading to the #NoDAPL
movement from the days of the Missouri River trading forts through
the Indian Wars, the Pick-Sloan dams, the American Indian Movement,
and the campaign for Indigenous rights at the United Nations. While
a historian by trade, Estes also draws on observations from the
encampments and from growing up as a citizen of the Oceti Sakowin
(the Nation of the Seven Council Fires), making Our History is the
Future at once a work of history, a personal story, and a
manifesto.
