    Attack on the Black Hills

    On this episode, Nick sits down with two matriarch warriors who have been fighting to protect the He Sapa for decades: Madonna Thunder Hawk (Oohenumpa Lakota), a longtime Indigenous organizer, and Lilias Jarding, Executive Director of the Black Hills Clean Water Alliance. Since the 1970s, they have organized both Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples to stand up against mining threats from corporations in the Black Hills. Nick speaks with them about this long legacy of resistance, as well as some of the current threats to sites in the Black Hills, such as Craven Canyon, the Dewey-Burdock uranium project, and the open-pit mine proposed next to Mato Tipila (Devil's Tower). They also share why resistance to these projects is both important and effective, along with some actions we can all take to help defend these lands. TAKE ACTION: Submit a public comment to protect Mato Tipila at https://ndnco.cc/protectbearlodge  Text HESAPA to 50302 to stay informed on future actions you can take to protect the He Sapa!

    Where All Women Are Honored

    Nick sits down with Norma Rendon, Executive Director of Where All Women Are Honored. Indigenous women and two spirit relatives are some of the most marginalized people in all of society. There is a direct relationship to the stealing of Indigenous Peoples land and the wrongful violent mistreatment of Indigenous women. The LANDBACK Movement is only possible because of the matriarchs and in fact “LandBack” is one in the same as “Rematriation”. Where All Women Are Honored is an organization dedicated to protecting Indigenous women. 🌎Learn more and donate https://www.wawah.org SUPPORT OUR WORK: 💌 Help us continue this vital truth-telling media work, donate to NDN Collective's For the People Campaign: https://ndnforthepeople.org FOLLOW THE PODCAST: https://www.instagram.com/landbackforthepeople  https://www.tiktok.com/@landbackforthepeople SUBSCRIBE AND CATCH UP ON THE LATEST EPISODES:  ▶️ YouTube: https://ndnco.cc/LBFTPyt  ▶️ Spotify: https://ndnco.cc/LBFTPs  ▶️ Apple Podcast: https://ndnco.cc/LPFTPa  ▶️ Audible: https://ndnco.cc/LBFTPad    EPISODE CREDITS: Featuring: Norma Rendon Host: Nick Tilsen Producer: Willi White  Studio Technician: Jerome Richard LeBeau Jr. Music: Mato Wayuhi Editor: Willi White Digital Engagement: Angie Solloa PRESS & MEDIA: press@ndncollective.org  FOLLOW NDN COLLECTIVE: https://ndncollective.org  https://www.instagram.com/ndncollective https://www.linkedin.com/company/ndncollective/ https://www.facebook.com/ndncol  https://www.threads.net/@ndncollective https://bsky.app/profile/ndncollective.bsky.social https://www.tiktok.com/@ndncollective  https://x.com/ndncollective Hosted on Acast.

    Art, Swagger, and Creativity in the Movement

    Nick sits down with resident uncle, artist, and NDN Store manager JayCee Beyale. JayCee draws inspiration from street art and graffiti, using a combination of spray paints and acrylics to celebrate the fusion of technology with Indigenous culture, primarily in paintings and murals. Together, they talk about why it’s important for arts, creativity, and swag to have a permanent place in the movement; JayCee’s artist journey; and specifically why NDN has a store to put out art and messaging into the world. “The products on the NDN store aren’t just non-profit swag, it's art that has grown out of struggle, organizing and movement work.” Get your movement swag at:  https://ndnstore.xyz/  Follow the NDN Store on Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/thendnstore/  SUPPORT OUR WORK: 💌 Help us continue this vital truth-telling media work, donate to NDN Collective's For the People Campaign: https://ndnforthepeople.org FOLLOW THE PODCAST: https://www.instagram.com/landbackforthepeople  https://www.tiktok.com/@landbackforthepeople SUBSCRIBE AND CATCH UP ON THE LATEST EPISODES:  ▶️ YouTube: https://ndnco.cc/LBFTPyt  ▶️ Spotify: https://ndnco.cc/LBFTPs  ▶️ Apple Podcast: https://ndnco.cc/LPFTPa  ▶️ Audible: https://ndnco.cc/LBFTPad    EPISODE CREDITS: Featuring: JayCee Beyale Host: Nick Tilsen Producer: Willi White  Studio Technician: Jerome Richard LeBeau Jr. Production Assistant: Kaitlyn Martin Music: Mato Wayuhi Editor: Willi White Digital Engagement: Angie Solloa PRESS & MEDIA: press@ndncollective.org  FOLLOW NDN COLLECTIVE: https://ndncollective.org  https://www.instagram.com/ndncollective https://www.linkedin.com/company/ndncollective/ https://www.facebook.com/ndncol  https://www.threads.net/@ndncollective https://bsky.app/profile/ndncollective.bsky.social https://www.tiktok.com/@ndncollective  https://x.com/ndncollective Hosted on Acast.

    Protect Pe’sla

    Nick Tilsen, Founder & CEO of NDN Collective, sits down with Taylor Gunhammer, local organizer, to discuss the attack on Pe’sla, a sacred site for many tribes in the Black Hills region. Local company Pete Lien & Sons (PLS) will be doing exploratory drilling, looking for graphite. This drilling will destroy sacred land and risk contaminating the water that many in the region depend on. CALLS TO ACTION:  ☎️Call the Forest Service at (605) 343-1567 to demand they rescind the permit for Pe’sla drilling and the decision to grant a Categorical Exclusion (CE) for their exploratory drilling permit. They have no right to violate our rights, declare Indigenous culture an acceptable loss, cut us out of the process, or endanger the drinking water of thousands of people and Ellsworth Air force Base. Call the US Forest Service and tell them to leave Pe’sla alone!!  📱Text “SAVEPESLA” to 50302  ✍🏽Sign our petition: https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/add-your-name-protect-sacred-site-pesla  SUPPORT OUR WORK: Help us continue this vital truth-telling media work, donate to NDN Collective's For the People. 💌 Campaign: https://ndnforthepeople.org  FOLLOW THE PODCAST: https://www.instagram.com/landbackforthepeople https://www.tiktok.com/@landbackforthepeople SUBSCRIBE AND CATCH UP ON THE LATEST EPISODES:  ▶️ YouTube: https://ndnco.cc/LBFTPyt  ▶️ Spotify: https://ndnco.cc/LBFTPs  ▶️ Apple Podcast: https://ndnco.cc/LPFTPa  ▶️ Audible: https://ndnco.cc/LBFTPad    EPISODE CREDITS: Featuring: Taylor GunhammerHost: Nick TilsenProducer: Willi White Studio Technician: Jerome Richard LeBeau Jr.Music: Mato Wayuhi Editor: Willi WhiteDigital Engagement: Angie Solloa PRESS & MEDIA: press@ndncollective.org  FOLLOW NDN COLLECTIVE: https://ndncollective.org https://www.instagram.com/ndncollectivehttps://www.linkedin.com/company/ndncollective/https://www.facebook.com/ndncol https://www.threads.net/@ndncollectivehttps://bsky.app/profile/ndncollective.bsky.socialhttps://www.tiktok.com/@ndncollective https://x.com/ndncollective Hosted on Acast.
