As Long as Grass Grows: The Indigenous Fight for Environmental Justice, from Colonization to Standing Rock

Discover the untold history of Indigenous peoples' fight for environmental justice with "As Long as Grass Grows." This groundbreaking book by researcher and activist Dina Gilio-Whitaker sheds light on the centuries-long struggle against environmental injustices and land incursions faced by Native peoples. By exploring the rich history of Indigenous activism, the author challenges environmentalists to learn from the resilience and wisdom of Indigenous communities.

With a unique perspective on "Indigenized environmental justice," Gilio-Whitaker delves into the history of treaty violations, fights for food and water security, and the protection of sacred sites. The book also emphasizes the crucial role of Indigenous women in leading these battles. Through accessible storytelling, readers will gain valuable insights into the resistance against government and corporate encroachment on Indigenous lands.

While the Standing Rock protests thrust Indigenous activists into the national spotlight in 2016, it also exposed the lack of awareness among Americans about the ongoing tensions between Native peoples and the mainstream environmental movement. "As Long as Grass Grows" seeks to bridge this knowledge gap and urges modern environmentalists to draw inspiration from Indigenous resistance for a just and sustainable future.
