LAKOTA SACRIFICED & USED TO SAVE OJIBWAY WATER & RESOURCES:

If the Red Warriors had stayed non-violent as the Lakota Elders of Standing Rock & Cheyenne River had begged them to do, the DAPL would have probably not gone in.

Now, Winona LaDuke is threatening Minnesota with the likelihood of another internationally embarassing and likely violent standoff if the Enbridge Line 3 upgrade goes through. Makes sense now why Honor the Earth (which LaDuke runs) supported, protected and actively networked with these Red Warrior Anarchists even though our Elders forbade their violence.

Here are some of LaDuke’s qoutes from the below article published by MPR News on July 5, 2017.

“If that permit is issued, you can be sure you will have Standing Rock in Minnesota. I will tell you that,” White Earth tribal member and Honor the Earth executive director Winona LaDuke said prior to one of 22 public meetings state regulators recently held across northern Minnesota.”

“Enbridge is threatening the destruction of my way of life,” said LaDuke. “Enbridge is threatening my people. So I am standing to defend them.”

What about our Lakota people, culture, children, water and way of life? Did you care about that when you protected and supported the Red Warrior even after our Elders demanded that they be removed because of their violent tactics? Tactics that gave the Feds the leverage to shut down our camps and thus any hope of rushing the drill pad if ETP started drilling.

And violence has already begun over in Ojibway country. Here is another qoute:

“In Bemidji, Minn., tensions are already running high, even though any decision on the pipeline isn’t expected until next spring. Last December Enbridge halted a meeting after protesters disrupted it. In February shots were fired at the front door and windows of Enbridge’s office in town.”

I guess if that’s the route the Ojibway want to go, then that’s fine. Because unlike the Red Warriors and Honor the Earth, we respect the wishes of local Ojibway Elders and their leaders to resist however they see fit.

It is clear now that our desperate struggle to save our Lakota children, water, burial grounds and land was exploited by these violent Red Warrior Anarchist operatives…so as to establish a model of violent resistance that other states would fear.

And now LaDuke is leveraging that to save her people and land. The Lakota were sacrificed. Go ahead LaDuke. Again, unlike you, the Lakota have compassion for the children of all Indian people and don’t want to see your children harmed. But you should be ashamed. Disgusting.

I told you. Read the article yourself.
