“We arrived Tuesday evening to Standing Rock where we met up with folks from the Indigenous Environmental Network. On Wednesday, we supported cooking and food prep for the hundreds of folks camping, as well as the rebuilding the kitchen of the IP3 camp. Currently, there are hundreds of people here at the camp, with more folks arriving every day. The delegation also participated in IEN’s Women Warrior press conference, which lifted up the issues affecting women, particularly the violence of the man camps. Last night, e got to witness the arrival of the Dakota/Lakota folks from Fort Peck, Minnesota, as well as tribal leaders and elders of the Havasupai tribe from the Grand Canyon, where they are fighting uranium mining.”
