Video #2: <\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

    This short video shows Native community surrounding the framework of a tipi, a sacred symbol which sets the foundation for this newly erected “1851 Treaty Camp.<\/a>” Predominantly indigenous Water Protectors hold signs of disapproval in regard to the Dakota Access Pipeline<\/a>, and also signs of advocacy for the protection of their water, such as \u201cDefend the Sacred,<\/span>\u201d \u201cWater is Life,<\/span>\u201d \u201cWater is Sacred- No Pipelines,<\/span>\u201d as well as others.  The lightheartedness of the gathering can be heard in the voice of the speaker, who is cracking jokes while a yellow helicopter<\/a> encircles the peaceful gathering.  As the video comes to a close the speaker reassures the people that more relatives are on the way from the south to dance & pray with them, & that they will arrive within the day.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
