How two centuries of Indigenous resistance created the movement proclaiming "Water is life".

In 2016, a small protest encampment at the Standing Rock Reservation in North Dakota, initially established to block construction of the Dakota Access oil pipeline, grew to be the largest Indigenous protest movement in the 21st century. Water Protectors knew this battle for native sovereignty had already been fought many times before, and that, even after the encampment was gone, their anti-colonial struggle would continue. In Our History Is the Future, Nick Estes traces traditions of Indigenous resistance that led to the #NoDAPL movement. Our History Is the Future is at once a work of history, a manifesto, and an intergenerational story of resistance.

I loved this book and learned a ton. a key piece of antioppresion literature, and definitely not what the history books are going to tell you. gave me a deeper sense of the oceti sakowin, the great dakota Lakota council of seven fires, and their history of anti colonial resistance.

great listen

Estes has long been a voice for his people’s struggle against imperialism in the US against native people. This book takes a look through the lens of a long history of native resistance against the US governments campaign against The Standing Rock people from the era of colonialism, to Custer, to the #nodapl movement. Thorough and bold. Highly recommend

Excellent review of Native resistance

What a way to tell a story of Indigenous resistance! Incredible research that students of US domestic social movements/political struggle and international law and diplomacy will cite for decades to come.
