As Long As Grass Grows: The Indigenous Fight for Environmental Justice, from Colonization to Standing Rock
By: Dina Gilio-Whitaker (2019)
Through the unique lens of “Indigenized environmental justice,” Indigenous researcher and activist Dina Gilio-Whitaker explores the fraught history of treaty violations, struggles for food and water security, and protection of sacred sites, while highlighting the important leadership of Indigenous women in this centuries-long struggle. Ultimately, she argues, modern environmentalists must look to the history of Indigenous resistance for wisdom and inspiration in our common fight for a just and sustainable future. We look forward to discussing the lessons ELS members glean from this book, and how we might most like to see these lessons applied in our communities.
