The Standing Rock Sioux Tribe and Indigenous grassroots
leaders are calling on their allies across the United States and around the
world to peacefully March on Washington DC. They ask that we rise in solidarity
with the Indigenous peoples of the world whose rights protect Unci Maka
(Grandmother Earth) for the future generations of all.
Standing Rock and Native Nations will lead a march in prayer
and action in Washington D.C. on March
10th 2017.
The March is being organized by the Native Nations Rise Planning
Committee
The Demands:
- · #TakeTheMeeting // President Trump must meet with tribal leaders to hear why it’s critical that the US government respect tribal rights. This administration must work with us.
- · #ConsentNotConsultation // Tribal interests cannot continue to be marginalized in favor of the interests of corporations and other governments. Consultation is not enough– we must require consent.
- · #NativeNationsRise // The Standing Rock movement is bigger than one tribe. It has evolved into a powerful global phenomenon highlighting the necessity to respect Indigenous Nations and their right to protect their homelands, environment and future generations. We are asking our Native relatives from across Turtle Island to rise with us.
Calendar of Events
March 7 – 9: Native leaders and their allies will lobby in
the halls of power in Washington DC on behalf of the protection of all Tribes.
March 10: Native
peoples + their allies – gathering in thousands – will gather for a March from
the Mall to the White House beginning at 10am. After the march, we will gather
for a rally at the Ellipse. It is here we will make our demands to the new
administration.
