We unite to stand behind the Lakota Grandmothers who will be visiting the United Nations to deliver evidence of genocide. We say no to forced assimilation, human rights abuse, violence against Elders, imposed patriarchy, youth incarceration and kidnapping, the dishonoring of treaty agreements, corporate greed, disregard for Native land rights and the well-being of Mother Earth, and the structures that dehumanize us all. We walk towards restored tradition and matriarchal leadership, recognition, accountability, and healing. Please join us.
