"Water Is Life": Midwestern Floods Threaten Indigenous Communities at Forefront of Climate Crisis
by mail@democracynow.org (Democracy Now!) from Democracy Now! on (#4BM1X)
As Nebraska and the U.S. Midwest recover from devastating climate change-fueled floods, we speak with Lakota historian Nick Estes on how two centuries of indigenous resistance created the movement proclaiming "Water is life." Estes's new book is titled "Our History Is the Future." He is a co-founder of the indigenous resistance group The Red Nation and a citizen of the Lower Brule Sioux Tribe.
