[_descriptive_paragraph] => field_5539b34c3c3d0 [body] => As I turn off the two-lane highway that courses through the Standing Rock Indian Reservation into Oceti Sakowin Camp (technically an overflow camp from the original Camp of the Sacred Stones that formed in April of this year), I am bursting with feelings. Ive been on the road for three days in Greenpeaces Rolling Sunlight to provide solar power to #NoDAPL resistance efforts. Without strong cell reception, its been hard to know what to expect when I arrive, so Ive spent long days anxiously trying to imagine what it will be like at camp. But I dont think theres any way to prepare for a place like this. There isnt any way to prepare to witness history in the making. From the road, the valley flat provides an incredible view of the expanse of Oceti Sakowin, the surrounding camps, and the mass of protectors who have come from Nations far and wide to defend water from the Dakota Access Pipeline. After a brief chat with some helpful camp security, we begin pulling our 13-ton truck down the avenue of flags representing the Indigenous nations who have lent their support. I will spend the next week working with the hundreds of people who have pledged to peacefully and prayerfully stop the Dakota Access Pipeline. Each day, there are non-violent direct action or peace-keeper trainings designed to ground us all in the principles of camp and our purpose here. The conversations are rich, delving into what the role of a protector is versus a protester, and how to hold each other accountable to the principles weve agree to. https://twitter.com/RuthHHopkins/status/779511223154937856?lang=en I am struck by how unique this moment is to be training with members of so many nations, with so many relatives from so many different places, and with so many people who have never before taken action on their principles in this way. These are our prayers in action. Among us are also leaders from other historic moments of Indigenous resistance, like Wounded Knee II and Alcatraz. We listen humbly to our Elders as they remind us that we are responsible for one anothers actions as much as we are responsible for our own. The days are long and the weather is turning cold. There is talk of what will happen when winter really hits, and protectors who have been here since last April recount how relentless the snow was last year. But no one is talking about leaving.

take action

hold them accountable

We believe in the publics right to know about whats happening to our planet. Our investigations expose environmental crimes and the people, companies and governments that need to be held responsible.

Each one of us can make small changes in our lives, but together we can change the world. Greenpeace connects people from all over the globe. We bring together diverse perspectives, and help communities and individuals to come together.

We have the courage to take action and stand up for our beliefs. We work together to stop the destruction of the environment using peaceful direct action and creative communication. We dont just identify problems, we create solutions.

Environmental issues often impact Indigenous people first and hardest; in the end they will affect us all.

For months, the Standing Rock Sioux and allies have been protecting their water by resisting construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline, which would carry 500,000 barrels of oil a day from North Dakota to Illinois.
