Washington DC, The White House, February 8, 2017. Around 300 climate justice activists and supporters gathered on Pennsylvania Avenue in front of the White House in an emergency action to protest the Army Corps Of Engineer's sudden granting of the required easement to proceed with the construction of the last leg of the Dakota Access pipeline. The Corp's action is widely regarded as a capitulation to the climate change denying Trump regime and its cronies and fellow investors in the fossil fuel industry. Facing down militarized police and corporate mercenary violence, brave Native American water protectors and their allies on the ground at Standing Rock have vowed to stage a non-violent 'last stand' against the danger posed to the Missouri River by the pipeline that may be drilled under it any day now.
#No DAPL - Stop Dakota Access Pipeline
San Francisco
November 15, 2016
At dawn, thousands gather at San Francisco Civic Center to stand in solidarity with the Standing Rock Sioux tribe in North Dakota and the massive gathering of Protectors standing against the Dakota Access Pipeline. A sunrise ceremony is followed by a march to the SF Army Corps of Engineers to increase pressure on them to not permit the laying of pipe under the Missouri River, a source of water for the tribe and millions of others.
The protest in San Francisco was one of over 200 actions across the country, calling for a stop to the construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline and for the protection of water, sacred sites and the planet from the fossil fuel industry and it's funders.
Led by Chicagoland indigenous organizations, people assembled at Federal Plaza to hear speeches and create a community snake dance against the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL). They were joined by a marchers from an anti-Trump protest. The DAPL is often called the "Black Snake”.
The pipeline will run across approximately 1,172 miles of land from North Dakota to Illinois. The DAPL will transfer crude oil, through the Oglala Aquifer, as well as, under the Big Sioux, Missouri and Mississippi Rivers. The pipeline will run through the traditional lands of the Standing Rock Sioux endangering water and sacred sites.
Energy Transfer Partners has 100% completion of the Dakota Access Pipeline in Illinois, and South Dakota. Resistance in North Dakota and Iowa are our last lines of defense against DAPL.

Today, we marched on the Army Corps of EngineersNW District Office, here in Portland. It was the folks in this office that granted approval of the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL), without regard to the Standing Rock Sioux's water supply and cultural heritage. The NW District oversees the Missouri River which this pipeline crosses from Dakotas to Illinois.
Washington DC, The White House, the evening of January 24, 2017. Around a thousand climate justice activists and supporters gathered on Pennsylvania Avenue to protest two memorandums signed by President Trump this morning essentially reauthorizing the previously rejected KXL and DAPL pipeline projects. The KXL memorandum invited TransCanada to re-apply with the promise of a speedy approval with no input from environmental agencies. The DAPL memorandum advises the Army Corp Of Engineers that the project is in our "national interest" and that the environmental review placed on it by Obama should be revoked. After a rally with speeches around a hundred or so folks marched noisily to Trump's Heartbreak Hotel for a secondary rally and 'die in'.

As the seasons march towards winter, mornings become increasingly difficult at the campsite. Though many of the protestors remain strong in heart, the reality of the situation is that many are not properly prepared to face a North Dakota Winter.

Divest Wells Fargo - Native People Not For Sale
February 24, 2018
THUNDERBIRD WOMAN RISES AGAIN
Wells Fargo World Headquarters
San Francisco Financial District.
With a huge street mural, native people tell Wells Fargo they will not be bought off with greenwashing grant $$ while the bank extends huge lines of credit to Canadian oil corporation, TransCanada, to build the Keystone XL pipeline and others investing in fossil fuel infrastructure projects.
Grandmothers from the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe in South Dakota join native people and allies in the Bay Area to bring Thunderbird Woman back to Montgomery Street where she made an appearance November, 2017. While sharing stories of struggle for clean land, air, water and for Indigenous Sovereignty, they call for divestment from Wells Fargo and for Wells Fargo to divest from the fossil fuel industry.

No DAPL, Berlin November 2016
Protest-Kundgebung gegen die DAPL (Dakota Access Pipeline) vor der US-Botschaft in der Clayallee 170 am 16. November 2016 mit rund 40 Teilnehmer*innen.
Die Veranstaltung war Teil des International Day of Action (Nov 15 #NoDAPL Day of Action at Army Corps of Engineers), zu dem das Indigenous Environmental Network aufgerufen hatte. Sie fand in berlin am 16. November statt, da an diesem Tag US-Präsident Obama Berlin besucht.
Die Dakota Access Pipeline (kurz: DAPL), auch Bakken Pipeline genannt, ist eine im Bau befindliche Erdölpipeline zwischen der erdölreichen Bakken-Formation in North Dakota und dem Pipelineknotenpunkt Patoka in Illinois. Die Pipeline soll eine Länge von 1.880 km haben und durch die US-Bundesstaaten North Dakota, South Dakota und Iowa bis nach Illinois führen. Ihr Bau wird von US-weiten Protesten begleitet und wurde mehrmals gerichtlich gestoppt.
Initiator des rund 3,8 Milliarden US-Dollar teuren Projekt ist der Pipelinebetreiber Energy Transfer Partners.
Dabei werden 200 Wasserläufe überquert ( "water-crossings" ). Vor allem im Gebiet des sich aus einem weit verzweigten Netz von Zuflüssen speisenden Missouri River verläuft die Pipeline durch eine große Flusslandschaft.
Der Protest gegen die Dakota Access Pipeline ist eine der größten Umweltbewegungen der 2000er Jahre in den USA. Der Protest führte zur größten Zusammenkunft von Indianer Nordamerikas seit 1920.
Die Sioux von Standing Rock wehren sich gegen den Bau der Pipeline über Grabstätten und heiligem Land ihrer Vorfahren. Viele ihrer Grabstätten und heilige Orte wurden bereits zerstört, weitere Zerstörungen wurden angekündigt…
Seit Ende August 2016 kamen immer mehr Menschen in das Gebiet von Cannon Ball südlich von Bismarck, um den Kampf der Standing Rock Sioux Nation gegen die Pipeline zu unterstützen. Im September 2016 lebten rund 3000 Menschen im "Red Warrior Camp" am Zusammenfluss des Missouri und des Cannonball Rivers.
