Wendsler Nosie Sr., Apache Stronghold to Standing Rock:
“We, as People on Mother Earth, stand with you in Solidarity. Our Mother is threatened. It is our legal, moral, and spiritual duty -- our right -- to protect Her from destruction, from irreparable damage at the hands of Companies like Dakota Access Pipeline and Resolution Copper. Not just for us, but for all Americans in this country, and for those yet to be born. Their ideology cannot be allowed to succeed and destroy our Sacred Places and our water.
We stand with you, all our relatives, and all children of the Earth to protect your rights as indigenous people to keep your way of life, religion and protection of the water, the lifeblood of the future generations of your people. The future of those yet to be born depends on it.”
