Migrant Indians Visit Standing Rock.
As the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe and supporters continue to protest the building of an oil pipeline by Dakota Access, police escalated the use of force. They hosed demonstrators down with icy water and tear gas. In their fight against a project that would bring harm to their sacred sites and pollution to their source of drinking water, the Sioux have attracted support from tribes and members of indigenous communities from around the US and Mexico. Mexican Purepecha migrant leaders from Oregon and Washington visited the encampment at Standing Rock and comment after concluding their trip.
Guest: Albertina Vallejo, Purepecha Elder, Host of La Hora de Michoacán, KPCN, Woodburn, OR; Dolores Huerta, President, Dolores Huerta Foundation, New York, NY; Nestora Salgado, Chief, Community Police, Former Political Prisoner, Nahua Community Leader, Germany.
