The Oceti Oyate Camp is being destroyed by police and bulldozers currently.
 Rosebud Camp was raided by BIA and they have full control of it now.
Elders were arrested. Veterans were arrested.
Journalists were arrested. I saw an Inipi destroyed in front of my eyes.
I'm back safe. My hand and leg are sprained. 
I feel a sadness today. The river weeps.

They can not end the prayer.
The Prayer continues in our hearts and souls.

We Still Stand
