Water Protectors at #Line3 learned that the same law firm that repped DAPL and ENBRIDGE is now fighting to overturn the Indian Child Welfare Act…

WHY would a multibillion dollar firm, with multibillion dollar clients, be working pro-bono in family court case in Texas? 1/3

Overturning ICWA in this way would be the be the first domino in a cascade that would also destroy tribal law, tribal sovereignty, & Tribal LANDS -which currently hold ONE THIRD of America's fossil fuels

Big Oil is using ICWA to go through the back door + grab Indian Land. 2/3

Let's talk about "national emergencies."

There are THOUSANDS of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women in this country. Sisters, daughters, mothers, human beings that disappear without a trace. Where is the declaration over that crisis? #MMIW #MMIWG #MMIR

In a country determined to place nationalism at the forefront of domestic and foreign policy, we have a shocking number of homeless veterans. In states like Arizona, the number of #veteran suicides is 90.4 per 100,000. kdminer.com/news/2019/feb/…

#VoterSuppression
Say you live on #StandingRock on the ND side. You have kids, a job, you're a busy, functional, modern day Native American — but where you live doesn't have a street address, & you've never needed one as you have PO box.

Now, North Dakota says you can't vote.

But surely, you think, there's a way around it, right? There is. You first have to call your district's coordinator (but remember, not all districts are the same). You may have to call around. You finally get ahold of someone. You describe, in detail, where your house is.

The coordinator assigns you an address that you can use on your voter registration. But they need to give you a confirmation letter for the address (we don't know if they mail it or give it to you right away, that is unclear). You then can use the address on your documents.
