"Violence against the land is violence against the people"

Dine' Klee Benally: Colonialism, police and genocide in the U.S.

Klee speaks on how colonialism, capitalism and police are part of the dynamic affecting violence against women and the destruction of sacred places, and the roles of Treaties and sovereignty.

Klee shares the Indigenous way of being and peacemaking in parallel to police and prisons, and the need for the restoration of traditional Indigenous systems for healing.
