Lessons From Fighting The Black Snake at Standing Rock is a project conceived in collaboration with the authors and the press to produce a piece of artwork to raise awareness of the peaceful, prayer centered spirit of the Water Protectors standing up to The Black Snake. In a time when petroleum energy has become an outdated and dangerous practice whose cost, both financially and ecologically, we can no longer afford, this book celebrates the engagement, commitment, and will of the people to take a stand for clean energy as well as the social and environmental justice necessary to ensure a safe and healthy planet, nation and people. All profit from the sale of this book goes directly to the Oceti Sakowin (Seven Council Fires).
