Making Contact

Native Power: Language, Land, and Water NoDAPL

nodalpThe actions at Standing Rock against the Dakota Access Pipeline in North Dakota continue. While mainstream media coverage is lacking, Native, citizen and independent journalists have been using social media to share anything from profiles within the Oceti Sakowin Camp, to live Facebook video of on-the-ground actions. We share interviews from a grassroots media group called the Voices of Standing Rock.

Making Contact Community Storytelling Fellow, Vincent Medina is a Chochenyo Ohlone Native American who is a part of a young generation working to revitalize the Chochenyo language for future generations.
