National Nurses United (NNU)'s Registered Nurse Response Network (RNRN)--a volunteer network of nurses providing disaster relief--deployed in early December, for the third time, to Standing Rock. The RNs were on hand to assist with first aid for water protectors resisting the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL)--as well as for the thousands of arriving Veterans for Standing Rock. Nurse volunteers witnessed the big announcement on Dec. 4 that the Army Corps of Engineers had, for the time being, denied the easement for the final stretch of the pipeline construction.
When a blizzard arose the next day, many water protectors, veterans and locals sought shelter at the Prairie Knights Casino--where a pow wow was being held. During the pow wow, veterans danced and stood in ceremony with tribal members.
RNRN volunteers were on hand at the casino to provide care for those who were struggling with the cold, or who were simply not feeling well. RNRN registered nurse volunteers Amy Bowen and Rachel Gitas also worked the night shift at the Sacred Stone camp during the blizzard, helping water protectors seeking care in the medical tent. Rachel even went tent to tent with a water protector to make sure no one had been buried in the snow.
The nurses know the fight to resist DAPL is not over. They vow to stand in solidarity with Standing Rock for as long as it takes to stop this dirty oil pipeline--and its threats to both the Standing Rock Sioux's sacred land, and the water supply and health of up to 17 million people.
OUR TOWN is a local series sponsored by The Village Square, funded by the John S. and James L. Knight Fund at the Community Foundation of North Florida to create an informed and engaged community in Tallahassee, FL.
"OUR TOWN: Fast Forward" is the first in a series of forums to look at new projects, development, ideas, even businesses and restaurants in Tallahassee. The evening served up a speedy brief on everything new, along with food served by food trucks Street Chefs, Banh Mi Palace and The Cravings Truck. Oh and dessert was served by Paisley Cafe.

Activists from New York’s Indigenous and Black communities, along with decolonial advocates led an “Anti-Columbus Day Tour” at the American Museum of Natural History on October 9, 2017; the groups are demanding that Mayor de Blasio and members of the New York City Council join the growing list of cities in the U.S. that have renamed Columbus Day as Indigenous Peoples’ Day.

People stand in solidarity with the Standing Rock Sioux tribe and the Water Protectors on Dec. 1, 2016 in San Francisco. There is a call for December to be a month of action where across the world people stand in unity with the tribe against the Dakota Access pipeline. The Dakota Access Pipeline would carry approximately 570,000 barrels of crude per day from North Dakota to Illinois. A portion of it passes through the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe's ancestral lands, and within a half mile of the Tribe's present-day reservation. An oil spill will be culturally and economically catastrophic.

After the final DAPL permit was granted, the Indigenous Coalition at Standing Rock is calling for February 8th to be an international day of emergency actions to disrupt business as usual and unleash a global intersectional resistance to fossil fuels and fascism.

An upside down American flag, a sign of distress, with a Native American figure on it, was on display at the Native Nations March in Denver.
The public witnessed a new level of escalation on October 27, 2016 in the Native struggle at Standing Rock, as police swept through an encampment in the direct path of the Dakota Access pipeline (DAPL). The resulting standoff with the National Guard, and police officers from various states, led to more than 100 arrests. Advancing authorities attacked Water Protectors with flash grenades, bean bag launchers, pepper spray and Long Range Acoustic Devices (LRADs). It is crucial that people recognize that Standing Rock is part of an ongoing struggle against colonial violence. The Dakota Access pipeline (#NoDAPL) is a front of struggle in a long-erased war against Native peoples -- a war that has been active since first contact, and waged without interruption.
