Centuries before the Dakota Access Pipeline snaked beneath Lakota-Sioux land, the transcontinental railroad barreled through it. Standing Rock Sioux Reservation leaders Dave Archambault Sr. and Jr. discuss how the economic and social expansion of America often comes at the expense of indigenous people. We’ll also hear from musician and Silkroad collaborator Pura Fé about her time in Standing Rock for the #NoDAPL occupation, ethnomusicologist Everardo “Ever” Reyes take on how songs like Fé's “Mahk Jćhi” are a part of a long tradition of indigenous protest music and Standing Rock Sioux tribe member and historian Dakota Goodhouse on the legacy of Sitting Bull and how Indigenous people opposed and resisted westward expansion.
