On June 28, 2014, Owe Aku (Bring Back the Way), a Lakota (Sioux) organization from the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation dedicated to the preservation of SacredWater, stopping the Keystone XL Pipeline and all threats to Mother Earth, demonstrated support for the 5th and final Tar Sands Healing Walk. Although Owe Aku members could not travel to Ft. McMurray in Canada because of border issues created by fat taker (the literal translation from the Lakota of the word for greedy, selfish people and corporations), Owe Aku was on the Lakota sacred mountain Matopaha (Bear Butte). A camp was set up for four days and the people climbed to the top of the mountain while relatives and allies walked the toxic land created by fat taker in Alberta. This consensus statement was delivered to the people gathered at Tar Sands. Deep Green Resistance stands in solidarity with the indigenous communities, who are at the front lines of resistance. These are our Indigenous Solidarity Guidelines: deepgreenresistance.org/en/what-we-do/deep-green-resistance-indigenous-solidarity-guidelines
