OAKRIDGE, Oregon (October 4, 2016) -- Last weekend marked the first year of the Molalla Ancestral Run. On Saturday October 1st, members of the Chakgeenkni-Tufti band of Molalla Indians called for ceremony in response to the recent proposal to turn our ancient village site in to a gravel mine in Oakridge, Oregon.

During times of great burden it has been a tradition of our people to join together in ceremony and prayer. We are retracing an ancient route of our ancestors and honoring them in the process.

Rather than focus on negativity, we have chosen to rejoice in our ancestry and shared history in Oakridge as tribal people and settlers. We have chosen to uplift, support and share with each other during this time.

A nearly two-mile line of vehicles shut down five Dakota Access Pipeline work sites peacefully -- with no police altercations Monday.

Yesterday October 3, 2016, a caravan of 111 cars and 500 people strong rolled out from Standing Rock Encampment on a Toxic Tour of the Dakota Access Pipeline. Construction at work sites along the pipeline was stopped in the continued protection of sacred waters.
The sheer presence and mass numbers of indigenous warriors and water protectors on the caravan succeeded in stopping work on DPAL.#BlackSnakeKillas will win the day with these actions. We are warriors. We are fierce. We will not stop until the Black Snake is dead.
A victory was won in the fight for clean water for the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe and all nations who rely on this river. Yesterday we counted coup on the enemy and we collectively and effectively shut down 5 DAPL construction work sites; the DAPL workers and equipment were sent home costing not only the Dakota Access Pipeline thousands upon thousand of dollars but the investors and share holders as well.
