Flags for Twodog

On the August 31, 2016 radio show World Talk with Friends, we were joined by Twodog.  His message compelled us to action.

It may be the line in the sand. Are you ready to take as stand if only to say a prayer, send a flag or donate?

This Portland Press Herald August 31, 2016 article provides a history of the movement: Native Americans protest Dakota Access oil pipeline

Rediscovering Native American roots at pipeline protest
BBC News, 1 September 2016

Since April, over 3000 Native American people have been camping in Cannon Ball, North Dakota. They are trying to stop the construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline, which would run underneath the Missouri river near the Cheyenne river reservation.

It's the biggest gathering of tribes in more than 100 years. The movement is becoming more than a protest. People in the camp say it is a way to reconnect with their identity, pride and heritage after a long history of abuse and segregation.

Hawste Wakiyan Wicasa believes the Native American standoff with Dakota Access is the last Great Indian War. "This is the first time the seven bands of the Sioux have come together since Little Bighorn," he said. "Now, we have no weapons, only prayers." Mr Wicasa says he prays every morning and every night in the sweat lodge pictured behind him. "We are here for what our ancestors fought and died for. We have endured 250 years of betrayal by the white man."
