About Me

My photo
For me it is All About Being of Service & Living the Life of the Give-Away....

Being Mindful of those who are unable to speak for themselves; our Non-Two Legged Relations and the Future Generations.

It's about walking on the Canka Luta Waste Behind the Cannunpa and the ceremonies.

It's about Mindfulness and Respect. It's about Honesty and owning up to my foibles.

Dakota Access Pipeline Protests

To all of you who do not understand why I am posting so much about the Native American protests against the pipelines & mines...

It is ALL About Life: Their lives, the non-two-legged's lives, the lives of the children, and our LIVES......

WATER Is LIFE.... without Water we will all die.... and in case you have not noticed we are living in a time of "Water Wars".....

We can not afford to lose anymore WATER....

The Dakota Access Pipeline will cross over/under 209 bodies of water including the Missouri River in two separate places.....

When the pipeline leaks many many lives will be lost...... and who will be those to suffer? Not those who own the oil, Not those who built the pipeline, Not those who own the pipeline... Not one person working for the u.s. Army Corps, Not one share holder, Not one board member, not one person from Texas-based Energy Transfer Partners.....


"The proposed Dakota Access Pipeline would transport 570,000 barrels of crude oil per day, across four states. Oil companies keep telling us that this is perfectly safe, but we’ve learned that that’s a lie: from 2012-2013 alone, there were 300 oil pipeline breaks in the state of North Dakota."

"On July 26, 2016 the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe was stunned to learn that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers had given its approval for the pipeline to run within a half-mile of the reservation without proper consultation or consent. Also, the new 1,172 mile Dakota Access Pipeline will cross Lake Oahe (formed by Oahe Dam on the Missouri) and the Missouri River as well, and disturb burial grounds and sacred sites on the tribe’s ancestral Treaty lands, according to SRST officials.....

Texas-based Energy Transfer Partners will build, own and operate the proposed $3.78 billion Dakota Access Pipeline and plans to transport up to 570,000 barrels of crude oil fracked from the Bakken oil fields across four states to a market hub in Illinois. The pipeline—already facing widespread opposition by a coalition of farmers, ranchers and environmental groups—will cross 209 rivers, creeks and tributaries, according to Dakota Access, LLC.

Standing Rock Sioux leaders say the pipeline will threaten the Missouri River, the tribe’s main source of drinking and irrigation water, and forever destroy burial grounds and sacred sites."

Our relatives to the west are fighting for their lives as construction begins on the Dakota Access pipeline, after an egregious rubber stamp job by the states and the US Army Corps, without tribal consultation or meaningful environmental review. We stand with all the warriors fighting to protect their lands, water, and future generations. We stand with the Dakota and Lakota tribes filing lawsuits and seeking justice. We stand opposed to Dakota Access and to any new pipelines anywhere.
