By this point I don't have to explain what's going on in Standing Rock I hope, if I do please just read my last few journals. What I will say is that Standing Rock is setting a precedent for Native rights and Native sovereignty. If you don't understand what's going on, the Oceti Sakowin camp is set up on treaty land which the federal government refuses to acknowledge despite that treaties are supreme law. It means that if they go about and remove everyone tomorrow, it sets a vicious precedent that even in 2017, Native people can be removed from our own lands. This is frightening and brings me to tears, and I'm just so tired of the apathy for what's going on by non-Natives. We have faced so much violence and now it continues in the way it always has. This country can not even respect our own homes, where we have lived since time immemorial. How much more will you take from us? I'm praying hard for Standing Rock; because whatever happens there, they can do to my home, and other Native peoples' homes, and I don't even want to think about what that will look like to see family brutalized.
