The NYC Stands for Standing Rock collective is a group of Indigenous scholars and activists, and settler/ POC supporters. We belong and are responsible to a range of Indigenous peoples and nations, including Tlingit, Haudenosaunee, Secwepemc, St'at'imc, Creek (Muscogee), Anishinaabe, Peoria, Diné, Maya Kaqchikel, and Quechua. We have joined forces to support the Standing Rock Sioux in their continued assertion of sovereignty over their traditional territories. We welcome the support and participation of Indigenous peoples and allied environmental/ community/ justice organizations in the New York area. If you can offer your organization's support, please email NYCnoDAPL@gmail.com to let us know how you would like to be involved. Connect with us on Twitter @NYCnoDAPL

Professor Jaskrian Dhillon, a member of NYC Stands with Standing Rock and dedicated community organizer/activist, has a new book!

Prairie Rising: Indigenous Youth, Decolonization, and the Politics of Intervention provides an insightful, grounded, and rigorous examination of the shifting forms of settler colonialism over the last 20 years on the plains of Saskatchewan. In this book Dhillon challenges the belief that the Canadian government is fully committed to social justice and reconciliation with First Nations. Follow the link to read more and purchase!
