Sarah Young Bear-Brown (taken from Facebook)
One of the longest running stories of 2016 was the protest at Standing Rock, ND – to reroute the Dakota Access Pipeline. This protest gathered indigenous communities, environmentalists and allies from all over the world to support the water protectors – during a contentious presidential campaign.
I spoke with Sarah Young Bear Brown, a Deaf Meskwaki woman from the Tama Settlement in Tama, IA, (oh and check out her awesome vlog on the new ASL sign for “Native American” here) who spent Thanksgiving week at Standing Rock. We spoke just after the Army Corps of Engineers denied the permit to grant access, requiring rerouting of the Dakota Access Pipeline. While this was seen as a major victory for the water protectors, Sarah felt their fight isn’t quite over.
