This week, a federal judge ordered a full environmental impact study of the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL), which pumps crude oil beneath the Missouri River just upstream of the Standing Rock Reservation, home to the Standing Rock Sioux of South and North Dakota. The decision is a major victory for the Tribe and allied activists, who have protested DAPL and its threat to Native sovereignty, land, and livelihood since 2016.Our recent exhibition, Climate in Crisis: Environmental Change in the Indigenous Americas, opens with a photograph of DAPL protests by Tailyr Irvine and a model tipi by Teri Greeves, which together speak to Native activism against the U.S. government’s misuse of sacred land and its wide-reaching ecological impact. Learn more through our recent virtual tour of the exhibition.Posted by Joseph Shaikewitz and Shea SpillerInstallation view of Climate in Crisis: Environmental Change in the Indigenous Americas.
