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...

Subject: [Dialogue] UPDATE ON STANDING ROCK RESERVATION INDIGENOUS GLOBAL FORUM

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.

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
