On this day 9 years ago, we had rebuilt our little camp’s tent after the Christmas blizzard blew most of it down. I had just attached spikes to my boots and took a moment to warm up by the wood stove.

Oceti Sakowin for life.

At the time, I posted this split screen of the stacks of face shields juxtaposed with some of the letters (we received hundreds) from school children supporting us.

“Dear heroes of the environment…”

Oceti Sakowin for life. ✊🏼

Colorado River Indian Tribes designate their namesake waterway a ‘living being’ with legal rights
The personhood designation for the river is part of a broader "rights of nature" movement that aims to bestow new legal protections on threatened natural resources around the globe.

On this Indigenous People's Day, I'm reflecting on the powerful solidarity and friendship formed since Standing Rock. Philámayaye to My Lakota friends and teachers. Your strength forever inspires Me. #MniWiconi - Water is Life.

Standing Rock/#NoDAPL (2016-ongoing)

The Standing Rock Sioux Tribe and thousands of Indigenous Water Protectors stood against the Dakota Access Pipeline. Their courage and solidarity shifted global consciousness and redefined the climate justice movement. #MniWiconi #WaterIsLife

And let's not forget how #NoDAPL #NoKXL #mniwiconi #NoLine3 #waterislife, #SaveOakFlat and #IStandWithStandingRock revealed the violence and human rights abuses of the Oil/Gas/Mining industries on Native communities and government corruption on state and federal levels.

The Water Protector Legal Collective was born at #StandingRock to provide legal support to water protectors defending land, water, and Indigenous rights. We continue to honor this legacy and stand with all communities resisting extractive projects threatening our lands and waters. #NoDAPL #MniWiconi

Natives & comrades tried to tell ya. 😒 #mniwiconi
NEW: Many of the world’s vital sources of underground fresh water took millions of years to form and could require thousands of years to refill, as water mined from them largely ends up in the rising oceans.

Researchers warn: This drying is now nearly impossible to reverse “on human timescales.”
“Staggering” Water Loss Driven by Groundwater Mining Poses Global Threat
A new study finds that freshwater resources are rapidly disappearing, creating arid “mega” regions and causing sea levels to rise.

Brighten your day. Historian rediscovers a pre-Incan method of water storage, gets money to restore the existing structures, and the town he grew up in now has access to water 10 hours a day, up from 1/2 hour per day. The details are v. cool.

When historian Galo Ramón uncovered a long-forgotten pre-Incan water system in Ecuador, he set about restoring it, and helped transform the landscape and livelihoods

When they've polluted the water to such an extent that they need to get blanket immunity BEFORE a review, is plainly immoral and disgusting. They should be tried for environmental terrorism. Destroying the water destroys all life. #MniWiconi #waterislife #protectourwater #cleanwaterNOW

🚨 Standing Rock fights on! Tribal Chairwoman Janet Alkire announces a new legal appeal to shut down the Dakota Access Pipeline, citing delays, desecrated sites, and Energy Transfer’s record of pollution and criminal convictions. #NoDAPL #MniWiconi #StopDAPL

Water is vital to our lives, and a MASSIVE 89% CUT to the program that makes sure we can get it when we need it is at risk. The president’s FY26 budget will strip $2.4B from Clean & Drinking Water State Revolving Funds, the main source of federal dollars keeping your family’s water clean & running.
White House proposes $2.4B reduction for 2026 State Revolving Fund programs
The overall balance of EPA’s 2026 budget would witness a $4.2 billion reduction across the agency in 2026 in the White House’s proposal.
