Dispatches of radical political engagement from people taking a
stand against the Dakota Access Pipeline It is prophecy. A Black
Snake will spread itself across the land, bringing destruction
while uniting Indigenous nations. The Dakota Access Pipeline is the
Black Snake, crossing the Missouri River north of the Standing Rock
Indian Reservation. The oil pipeline united communities along its
path-from North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa, and Illinois-and
galvanized a twenty-first-century Indigenous resistance movement
marching under the banner Mni Wiconi-Water Is Life! Standing Rock
youth issued a call, and millions around the world and thousands of
Water Protectors from more than three hundred Native nations
answered. Amid the movement to protect the land and the water that
millions depend on for life, the Oceti Sakowin (the Dakota, Nakota,
and Lakota people) reunited. A nation was reborn with renewed power
to protect the environment and support Indigenous grassroots
education and organizing. This book assembles the multitude of
voices of writers, thinkers, artists, and activists from that
movement. Through poetry and prose, essays, photography,
interviews, and polemical interventions, the contributors,
including leaders of the Standing Rock movement, reflect on
Indigenous history and politics and on the movement's significance.
Their work challenges our understanding of colonial history not
simply as "lessons learned" but as essential guideposts for current
and future activism. Contributors: Dave Archambault II, Natalie
