MNN. Aug. 18,  2025. Language rights are based on land rights. Energy flows when people come together. Canada is trying to break the tie to our land and to each other to break us up. Language is our life force. The words, songs, ceremonies, dances remind us and refresh our ties to our land which provide us with life giving energy and guidance on how to live with our mother earth. Speaking our language is  important. The colonizers have no connection to our land. Soon we will speak comfortably to each other again.  Our arts will flourish. Our interaction with the land, water, sky, air and all life on turtle island will guide our way into the future together. We have a purpose the colonizers and the colonizers want to continue to kill. We will survive and we will assimilate some colonizers and the rest will leave turtle island.

In Alleen Brown's latest podcast report, following the trial Energy Transfer v. Greenpeace, Cody Hall describes what happened after the dogs attacked -- the people began pouring into camp.

Later, Energy Transfer told Greenpeace that it would settle the lawsuit, and let Greenpeace live, if they would say that Dakota Access Pipeline did not violate sacred sites. That didn't happen.
