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.

 

#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.

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.

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.

New Haven rallies in Solidarity with Standing Rock Sioux and against TD Bank’s financing of the Energy Transfer Partners Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL), the genocidal desecration of sacred lands, and the violation of Tribal sovereignty and treaties, TD Bank, 994 Chapel Street, New Haven, Connecticut, Tuesday, February 14, 2017.

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'.

NoDAPL, Berlin Februar 2017.

Demonstration gegen die Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) und gegen Kredite der BayernLB und der Deutschen Bank für die DAPL in Berlin-Mitte am 17.2.2017.

Rund 70 Menschen beteiligen sich an der Auftaktkundgebung am Tränenpalast und gehen die Friedrichstraße südwärts bis zur Filiale der Deutschen Bank in der Friedrichstraße 191. Nach der Zwischenkundgebung an der Deutschen Bank geht die Demonstration weiter bis in die Kronenstraße zum Hauptsitz der Deutschen Kreditbank Aktiengesellschaft (DBK), eine hundertprozentige Tochter der Bayrischen Landesbank (BayernLB), wo es eine Abschlusskundgebung gibt.

Die Demonstration fordert die sofortige Rücknahme der Kredite von 120 Millionen US$ der BayernLB und 275 Millionen US$ der Deutschen Bank als finanzielle Unterstützung der gefährlichen Dakota Access Pipeline. Abgesehen von der Missachtung der Vertragsrechte der Lakota Sioux Nation, bedroht die DAPL das Trinkwasser von 18 Millionen Menschen flussabwärts. Die BayernLB überdenkt momentan ihre Investition und Mitte Februar sollte diese eine erneute Entscheidung treffen.

Aus dem Demonstrations-Aufruf:

„Wir sagen nein zur DAPL und nein zu Trumps Kriegsagenda und Umweltzerstörung! Wir protestieren gemeinsam, um:

1) Die BayernLB und die Deutschen Bank dazu zu bewegen, keine Kredite an die von der Dakota Access Pipeline auszugeben!

2) Der Welt zu sagen, dass der Anti-LSBTQI Vizepräsident Pence und der Klimakiller Außenminister Rex Tilleron hier in Deutschland nicht willkommen sind!“ (Zur Zeit sind Pence und Tilleron von der US-Regierung zu zwei Konferenzen in Europa)

Die Demonstration in Berlin Teil der weltweiten Aktionswoche ‘Global Week of Action’ gegen die Dakota Access Pipeline und eines gemeinsamen Aktionstages, gleichzeitig demonstrieren heute Menschen in 70 weiteren Städten weltweit gegen DAPL und für die Rücknahme der Bankkredite für die DAPL.

Hintergrund-Infos:

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…

Manitowapow, speaking to the moon

 

by Julie Nagam - Winnipeg, Metis / Canada

 

If you could speak to the watchful face of the moon, what would you say? In the wake of the current global climate crisis Nagam transmits warning beacons to signal and call out the state of today’s shifting environment. Complicity in contemporary issues and human mortality come to the forefront, recalling unclean drinking water, chemically-contaminated lakes, extractions of oil, metals, and gas, and the rapid melting of the polar ice caps.

 

Presented as an audio-visual installation of media-based sculptural domes made from harvested willow saplings, these half-moon geoforms radiate and pulse from inside First Canadian Place. Projected on the wigwam-informed structures are depictions of landscapes both in their natural environment and altered states of industry and destruction caused by human impact. Recordings of ambient outdoor sounds linked to the land compliment the sculptures, creating a 360-degree experience.

 

This installation expands Nagam's media explorations with domes and a mediated experience of the land.
