Dear friends: Dianne and I participated in the current protection stand by the Standing Rock Tribe at Cannon Ball. N. Dakota ( and Now over 280 tribes globally) to stop the oil pipeline under construction beginning at the reservation lands near the Missouri river. The proposed pipeline is 60% completed but 20 miles of sacred land have been halted by the Justice Dept ( Obama) court decision on Sept 9 <http://9.at/>. What follows is our reflections on what’s happening at Standing Rock and how you may choose to involve yourself if so moved. There are 3 PDF’s below: Salvatore Caruso & Dianne Greenwald reflections from our participation there; followed by a just published article by Bill McKibbin in Yes magazine that focuses on this event and the broader implications. Be well, Salvatore & Dianne
