Lyla June: “Water is Life”, Dinner on the Bluff Series
Lyla June has emerged as a compelling Native American voice for prayer and peaceful resistance. She will describe her participation in the historic, environmental event unfolding at the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation in North Dakota, in which thousands of Native American’s have unified to stop an oil pipeline that threatens the water supply of millions of people. This gathering has attracted worldwide recognition, galvanizing legions of supporters to “Stand with Standing Rock.” Lyla June’s message has the potential to change not only our approach to fossil fuels and water, but also how we honor our native neighbors. In addition to speaking about her experience at Standing Rock, she will also be performing some of her poetry and music.
