What does Wounded Knee have in common with Washington, D.C., Los Angeles, Chicago, and Portland? The rights and sovereignty of people across Turtle Island are now at risk as the federal government, as it did at Wounded Knee in 1890 and again in 1973, has sent armed troops into American cities to violently subjugate the people of this land.

At our Lakota Law Membership Circle Event on Wednesday, Oct. 29. Tokata Iron Eyes hosted, and Chase Iron Eyes and our Sacred Defense legal team discussed this precarious moment, what it means for our constitutional sovereignty, and what we can do about it together.
