[WSMDiscuss] Ladonna Brave Bull Allard passes on ...

[Ashish Kothari]

Friends, I am saddened to hear of the passing on of LaDonna 'Brave Bull' 
Allard, a Sioux - Lakota indigenous person, one of those who led the 
Standing Rock movement against the destructive Dakota pipeline through 
indigenous territory in Turtle Island / North America. Historian, water 
protector, wise elder, inter-generational mentor, and much more ....

I was honoured to be with her at a 'Defend the Sacred' meeting in 
Tamera, Portugal a couple of years back, and to conduct this interview 
of hers, "Standing Rock Still Stands!":

esp. to the part of how people from across the world, from different 
faiths and cultures, came to the camp she set up against the pipeline, 
from 9.00 to 10.40 or so ... I had tears in my eyes when she recounted 
this).
May her spirit continue to guide us in the struggle against destructive 
development and towards a just and sustainable world.
