Tomorrow are tribal elections in Lower Brule, the Kul Wicasa Oyate. Below is a list of my blog posts about the Lower Brule elections, tribal governance, and the Keystone XL pipeline. There is a lot at stake for the Kul Wicasa Oyate, the Oceti Sakowin, our sacred Treaty Territory, our Mni Wiconi, and Unci Maka. This is an important time in our history, perhaps more so than any other. I have a lot of faith in our young leaders, but they will be taking over a system broken by four decades of no accountability and complete lack of transparency to the Oyate, the People.
Please take the time to read over the issues facing our Nation:
