It also claims that Greenpeace orchestrated a misinformation campaign to defame the company, leading a group of banks to back out of financing the project. Energy Transfer seeks roughly $300 million from the environmental organization.</p><p>"Greenpeace denies Energy Transfer’s allegations. The group says it has never condoned violence, and only played a supporting role during the protests.</p><p>"Tilsen said he got involved in the protests before Greenpeace. He was invited to join the cause by former Standing Rock Chairman Dave Archambault and his sister, Jodi Archambault, he said.</p><p>"'They called me and said, ‘Hey, we need your help at Standing Rock,’ Tilsen said.</p><p>"Standing Rock has long opposed the Dakota Access Pipeline, stating the project poses a pollution threat, infringes on tribal sovereignty and has disrupted sacred cultural sites.</p><p>"It was Standing Rock leadership that laid the groundwork for the protests against the pipeline’s construction in 2016, Tilsen said.</p><p>"He said organizers later invited Greenpeace to support the camps, including by providing supplies and nonviolent direct action training. Tilsen said he only felt comfortable reaching out to Greenpeace because a friend of his, Cy Wagoner, worked there.</p><p>"He said since Wagoner is from the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NavajoNation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NavajoNation</span></a>, he trusted that Greenpeace would respect Standing Rock’s leadership of the camps.</p><p>"Indigenous communities are often reluctant to invite outside nonprofits to help with Native rights issues, Tilsen added. He said they often don’t understand Native nations’ unique relationship with the U.S. government.</p><p>"Greenpeace wasn’t a big part of the protests, Tilsen said.</p><p>"'To be honest, most of the tribal nations didn’t know who Greenpeace was,' he said.</p><p>"Countless other groups — including representatives from more than 300 Native nations — came to the protest camps in solidarity with Standing Rock, said Tilsen.</p><p>"'Quite frankly, our list of allies was hundreds,' he said.</p><p>"Tilsen said he was involved in several protest actions against the Dakota Access Pipeline in 2016 and 2017, including those that involved marching on the pipeline easement, jumping in front of equipment and using lockboxes — also known as 'sleeping dragons' — to disable construction machinery.</p><p>"None of the protest actions were coordinated by Greenpeace, he said.</p><p>"Tilsen said he never saw or endorsed any destruction of property or acts of violence toward construction workers or law enforcement. He also pushed back on the assertion that any of the protest activities he participated in qualified as trespassing. </p><p>"The pipeline passes through land recognized as belonging to the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SiouxNation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SiouxNation</span></a> under <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/treaties" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>treaties</span></a> signed by the U.S. government in 1851 and 1868. The U.S. government later annexed that land in violation of those treaties.</p><p>"Tilsen asked how Lakota citizens could be trespassing on land that was unlawfully taken from them. </p><p>"'This is the conundrum we find ourselves in,' he said.</p><p>"Employees of Greenpeace said during video depositions played last week that the environmental organization brought 20 to 30 lockboxes to the camps.</p><p>"Tilsen said while he saw many lockboxes during protests, he wasn’t sure where any of them came from. He also said he never heard anyone from Greenpeace tell demonstrators to use the devices.</p><p>"Tilsen said that David Khoury, an employee for Greenpeace, helped identify potential sites for protest actions. Tilsen added that while Wagoner — another Greenpeace employee — didn’t plan protest activities, he trained people on how to conduct them.</p><p>"The trial, which is before Southwest Central Judicial District Judge James Gion, is expected to last roughly four more weeks."</p><p>Source:<br><a href="https://northdakotamonitor.com/2025/03/03/witness-most-tribal-nations-at-dakota-access-pipeline-protest-didnt-know-who-greenpeace-was/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">northdakotamonitor.com/2025/03</span><span class="invisible">/03/witness-most-tribal-nations-at-dakota-access-pipeline-protest-didnt-know-who-greenpeace-was/</span></a><br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/StandWithStandingRock" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>StandWithStandingRock</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WaterIsLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WaterIsLife</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NoDAPL" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NoDAPL</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/KelcyWarren" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>KelcyWarren</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Trump</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BigOil" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BigOil</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CorporateColonialism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CorporateColonialism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BigOilAndGas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BigOilAndGas</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/EnvironmentalRacism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EnvironmentalRacism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/StandingRock" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>StandingRock</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SLAPPs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SLAPPs</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NoDAPL" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NoDAPL</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WaterIsLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WaterIsLife</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SLAPPsLawsuits" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SLAPPsLawsuits</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SilencingDissent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SilencingDissent</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ACAB" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ACAB</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/EnergyTransfer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EnergyTransfer</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/UnicornRiot" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>UnicornRiot</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CriminalizingDissent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CriminalizingDissent</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ACAB" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ACAB</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Blackwater" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Blackwater</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ErikPrince" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ErikPrince</span></a></p>

Cathy CG<p>En apprenant aux enfants cette voie de la peur, on les met sur un mauvais chemin. On leur apprend à grandir en ne pensant qu’à eux-mêmes. Le partage n’est alors qu’une petite baguette et non pas la branche principale de l’arbre de la vie. Ils apprennent à protéger, pas à donner, et ça érige un mur autour de leur cœur.<br>Il faut changer ça. Il faut leur apprendre la voir de l’entraide, leur donner une vision de ce qui est bon, pas seulement de ce qui est mauvais. On doit leur apprendre qu’être fort, c’est aider les faibles ; qu’être riche, c’est donner ; que diriger, c’est servir.</p><p><a href="https://piaille.fr/tags/livre" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>livre</span></a> <a href="https://piaille.fr/tags/lecture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>lecture</span></a> <a href="https://piaille.fr/tags/native" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>native</span></a> <a href="https://piaille.fr/tags/lakota" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>lakota</span></a> <a href="https://piaille.fr/tags/memory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>memory</span></a></p>

Key evidence was withheld by the prosecution, including ballistics reports that could have supported his defense.</p><p>"Eyewitness testimony used to extradite Peltier from Canada was later recanted, with the witness stating they were coerced by the FBI. Even the U.S. attorney who handled the case has since admitted that no one knows who fired the fatal shots. </p><p>"Peltier has maintained his innocence for nearly five decades, and his case has been condemned by numerous human rights organizations, including <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AmnestyInternational" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AmnestyInternational</span></a>.
