Submitted to It’s Going Down

In response to the violent resource colonialism perpetuated by DAPL employees, Morton County Sheriff’s Dept., and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, there are many warrior societies (Akicitas) forming in all camps surrounding the struggle against the construction of the Dakota Access oil pipeline on stolen indigenous land.

As the military, police, private DAPL workers,security and investors have encroached upon and attacked inhabitants on and near Standing Rock Dakota Territory, we must encroach upon and stop their activities utilizing many creative methods of resistance. We must hit them in their economic bottom line; cost them hella money and disrupt “business as usual.”

We are collectives of indigenous and non-indigenous water protectors calling upon homies and accomplices to do whatever it takes to chop the head off of this black snake. Public opinion and the privileged liberal myth of voting with your dollar are NOT going to win the day.

We are here to protect our communities, NOT please the mainstream media. We also recognize that corporations and the military industrial complex are responsible for the vast majority of worldwide pollution, NOT individuals or any one group of people. While we need to utilize MOST of the “tools” in the metaphorical “toolbox”, including peace and prayer, it must be remembered that the warpath is also very much a part of Dakota, Lakota, and Nakota tradition and resilience.

Gear up, dig deep, and warrior up, as there is no such thing as a “quiet life on the reservation,” or “prisoner of war camp,” as some like to call it. The most violent thing we can do is to allow construction to continue uninterrupted; it is only a matter of WHEN, NOT IF the pipeline bursts, and by then it will be too late. We already have enough documented examples of environmental racism, degradation, and extreme pollution’s effects on a land base and it’s people- we do not need more.

We are setting a precedent for the world, and the kinds of communities that we want to build and live in.

In the spirit of Sitting Bull, stand up with strong hearts, help dismantle peace police and liberal disease mentality; these modes and positions of privilege only reinforce our collective enemies and the fascists systems they uphold, and the rich and elite few that they protect. NO DAPL means NO SURRENDER!

May prayer and strategic direct action collide as one. Embrace harmony not unity- we do NOT all have to do the same thing or sing the same notes to be a part of the same song of resistance.

Let actions and protests also send the message that we will not acquiesce to tyranny or accept Trump as President, nor recognize decisions made by IRA tribal council leaders. We are individuals and collectives participating in Grassroots Resistance as our own entities with our own way!

Black Snake Killaz for Life!
