Hi Salvatore and Dianne, Thank you very much for sharing your moving and very helpful update and reflections on your experience in N. Dakota. I hope the movement continues to build with support from all over the world. Almost every place in the world is dealing with water issues either from contamination, climate change--too much or too little water, access to water (land grabbing that prohibits access or damns that limit quantity) , siphoning of water by agro business and other companies, etc. Indeed WATER IS LIFE. What we do to the water, we do to ourselves...

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. 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 _______________________________________________ Dialogue mailing list Dialogue@lists.wedgeblade.net http://lists.wedgeblade.net/listinfo.cgi/dialogue-wedgeblade.net
