has been written about the historical relationship between the movement
against the Dakota Access Pipeline and the longer histories of Oceti
Sakowin (The Great Sioux Nation) resistance against the trespass of
settlers, dams, and pipelines across the Mni Sose, the Missouri River.
This is a short analysis of the historical and political context of the
#NoDAPL movement and the transformative possibilities of the current
struggle.</p><p>Thousands have camped along the banks of the Missouri River at Cannon
Ball in the Standing Rock Sioux Indian Reservation to halt the
construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL), which promises to
carry half a million barrels of heavy crude oil a day across four
states, under the Missouri River twice, and under the Mississippi River
toward the Gulf of Mexico for global export. Camp Oceti Sakowin, Red
Warrior Camp, and Sacred Stone Camp, the various Native-led groups
standing in unity against DAPL, have brought together the largest,
mass-gathering of Natives and allies in more than a century, all on land
and along a river the Army Corps of Engineers claims sole jurisdiction
and authority over.</p><p>How and why did this happen?</p><p>In 1803 the wasicu — the fat-takers, the settlers, the capitalists —
claimed this stretch of the river as part of what became the largest
real estate transaction in world history. The fledgling U.S. settler
state “bought” 827 million acres from the French Crown in the Louisiana
Purchase and sent two white explorers, Lewis and Clark, to claim and map
the newly acquired territory. None of the Native Nations west of the
Mississippi consented to the sale of their lands to a sovereign they
neither recognized nor viewed as superior. It was only after we rebuffed
Lewis and Clark for failing to pay tribute for their passage on our
river that they labeled the Oceti Sakowin “the vilest miscreants of the
savage race.” Thus began one of the longest and most hotly contested
struggles in the history of the world. >>>>> continues on website</p></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
