AWAKE & Too Precious to Mine

AWAKE follows the dramatic rise of the historic #NODAPL Native-led peaceful resistance at the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation. Thousands of activists converged from around the country to stand in solidarity with the water protectors protesting the construction of the $3.7 billion Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL), which is intended to carry fracked oil from North Dakota’s Bakken oil fields through sovereign land and under the Missouri River, the water source for the Standing Rock reservation and 17 million people downstream.

TOO PRECIOUS TO MINE follows the struggle of the Havasupai Tribe (“People of the blue-green waters”) to protect their homeland at the bottom of the Grand Canyon. Uranium mining on the canyon’s rims threatens to put the tribe’s drinking water and its way of life at risk.
