07: Standing Rock with Sky Yarbrough

[caption id="attachment_467" align="aligncenter" width="480"] Standing Rock Photo by Sky Yarbrough[/caption] [caption id="attachment_484" align="alignleft" width="160"] Sky Yarbrough[/caption] Sky Yarbrough recently visited the tribe at Standing Rock. She went to help them as they were overrun by the Dakota Access pipeline,Support is showing up in food, supplies and money. At this recording, there are 10 different feeding stations to feed thousands of people. The winters ahead, in North Dakota, are grim with temperatures at -45 degrees. On Oct. 11th, the US government will meet with the Standing Rock Tribe on how tribal input can better impact government policy. To find out more information on Standing Rock, Facebook is full of resources. You call search Standing Rock on Facebook and find lots of resources. I also found stories reported by Laura Flanders to be helpful. https://www.facebook.com/search/top/?q=laura%20flanders%20standing%20rock The Standing Rock official tribe page provides updates and receives donations going directly to the tribe. They provide news releases to update people on the protest. http://standingrock.org [caption id="attachment_485" align="alignright" width="156"] Sky and Mary[/caption] It's amazing that Sky and I can have a conversation and keep it under 40 mins. The first time we tried to podcast, she gave me 2 hours of conversation to edit. I have seen many strengths in Sky. The passion in her voice, community and the next generation. In editing the podcast, I found some of my words to be naive. From this discussion, I believe the movement is bigger than Standing Rock. Treaties and violations of the planet will no longer continue as they have in the past. Through the internet, justice is playing out in front of a world audience.
