“Welcome to He Sapa: A Living Legacy of Resistance,” a roundtable bringing together Lakota artists, activists, and knowledge-holders to situate present-day mining struggles within generations of Indigenous-led resistance to extraction and dispossession. The conversation explores how art, organizing, direct action, and intergenerational knowledge carry histories of resistance into the ongoing work to reclaim, protect, and steward the land for future generations.
