Welcome to Litsy!

I wish the second half of this book had been first. The second half was Garland Blaine‘s childhood and about the culture. The first part was about so many different peoples and places, it didn‘t feel anchored. It would have been much more interesting to read after the more intimate stories of Mr Blaine. It would have been easier to place people. Still quite interesting. Late #Indigathon2021 late #NonfictionNovember21

The Standing Rock Sioux‘s peaceful demonstration against the ETP and Dakota Access Pipeline, the machinations of private security company, TigerSwan, and the militarization of the police force are subjects discussed in depth. The focus, though, is on four women who led the campaign against pipelines. If you are interested in Social and Environmental justice…this is for you. #NonfictionNovember21
