Indigenous Women, Social movements & Pipeline Resistance

The sources "The frontline of refusal: indigenous women warriors of standing rock" and "Badass (Indigenous) Women Caretake Relations: #NoDAPL, #IdleNoMore,#BlackLivesMatter" all discusses the investments and involvement of indigenous people and not specially women in fight over environmental injustice. These sources talk about the Standing Rock movement, one of the biggest motivations for other indigenous movements. The standing rock movement is the fight over the Dakota Access Pipeline through indigenous land. “The frontline of refusal: indigenous women warriors of standing rock": is a fight over the water containment from companies. It’s believed that living and non-living organisms are “kin” to the indigenous people we are all connected to the earth. the Dakota Access Pipeline would not only harm their land as well as their water sources but the people in cancer ally and other place too. 

I really enjoyed to texts and videos I felt that they brought out a hidden connection. The all oddly discuss the same things but from different perspectives. I think that the movements are very vital and need to be talked about as and collective.
