In 2016, protests broke out at Standing Rock - a reservation in
North and South Dakota - to block the construction of the Dakota
Access Pipeline. Indigenous peoples and other activists opposed
the pipeline because they believed it violated sacred sites and
threatened to contaminate the Missouri River, a major source of
drinking water in the region. Taking social media by storm, the
#noDAPL movement quickly became an international headline.



On this episode, Nathan sits down with historian and activist
Nick Estes to talk about his experience at Standing Rock, the
history of Indigenous resistance, and the current state of the
Dakota Access Pipeline. Estes’ new book is called “Our History is
the Future: Standing Rock versus the Dakota Access Pipeline and
the Long Tradition of Indigenous Resistance.”
