Patty Loew Will Inspire as Our 2017 Keynote Speaker
The Dakota Access Pipeline Protest (DAPL) is the most important Native American struggle since the 1973 takeover of Wounded Knee. Since 2013 it has attracted thousands of Native Americans from nearly 400 tribes in North America, along with representatives from indigenous communities all over the world. The “Water Protectors” as they prefer to be called, have stood with the Standing Rock Sioux (Oceti Sakowin) who oppose an oil pipeline crossing under the Missouri River a half a mile upstream from their reservation. Why has this issue resonated so deeply, not only with indigenous people, but also with Muslims, immigrants, and groups like Black Lives Matter? Why have so many people rallied around this community? In her keynote, Patty Loew describes current environmental threats faced by indigenous people in Wisconsin. They are links in an environmental chain that connect them spiritually, culturally, and philosophically to all people who care about racial equity and social justice.
