Social movements and lawyers are who stop pipelines. Social movements and lawyers. - Winona LaDuke

Today, on a worldwide scale, we remain in the same situation as one hundred years ago, only with less land and fewer people.

I think that we should be done with appointing corporate heads to run parts of our government. They have enough influence already.

The white man, or the American government, has a way of saying they are sorry, which is to pay you. That's pretty much their approach. Now what our elders have said in our reservation and in Indian country in general is that actually the only compensation for land is land. That you cannot pay us with money that you took, that you made off of our land. That's kind of the analysis that goes behind that. Because the only thing that is actually of value to our community is the land itself. It is not the compensation.
