The lessons learned from the history of Indigenous resistance are an important part of our collective liberation. Listen as Aaron and Damien discuss the book Our History Is the Future: Standing Rock Versus the Dakota Access Pipeline, and the Long Tradition of Indigenous Resistance by Nick Estes (originally published by Verso Books and republished by Haymarket Books), which outlines and analyzes the traditions and applications of Indigenous resistance throughout history, including fights against the Missouri River trading forts through the Indian Wars, the Pick-Sloan dams, the American Indian Movement, Indigenous internationalism and the campaign for Indigenous rights with the United Nations, through to present-day organizing work to fight against fossil fuel pipelines, and what we learn and take away from this incredible book in our continued learning and unlearning work and fight for collective liberation.
