NDN Collective LANDBACK Campaign Launching on Indigenous Peoples’ Day 2020
Also announcing webinar and four calls-to-action leading up to IPD 2020
Friday, October 9, 2020
Rapid City, South Dakota — On Indigenous Peoples’ Day 2020, NDN Collective will be launching the highly anticipated LANDBACK Campaign, a multi-pronged effort to dismantle white supremacy and achieve justice for Indigenous people.
Through the restoration of ecological health to Indigenous lands and the actual recovery of Indigenous land ownership, NDN Collective’s LANDBACK Campaign aims to empower Indigenous people across Turtle Island. The LANDBACK Campaign will officially launch on Indigenous Peoples’ Day, which falls on Monday, October 12.
“We are on the verge of what could be a revolutionary moment,” said Krystal Two Bulls, LANDBACK Campaign Director. “As systems of colonization, oppression and white supremacy start to become dismantled, getting Indigenous lands back into Indigenous hands is necessary. Truth is, that all systems and institutions of oppression that uphold white supremacy were built on top of stolen land by stolen people; so to truly achieve racial justice and move into a revolutionary moment, we have to talk about how racial injustice on this continent began with settler colonialism, the theft of Indigenous lands, and the genocide of Indigenous people.”
NDN Collective first announced the development of the LANDBACK campaign on social media back in August, which was catalyzed by the powerful stand taken by Land Defenders on July 3rd as Trump made his way to Mount Rushmore in Hesapa, the sacred Black Hills, for his highly controversial Fourth of July event. After Land Defenders blocked the road to Mount Rushmore and stopped traffic for nearly three hours in the lead up to the event, 21 of them were ultimately arrested, including Two Bulls and NDN Collective President and CEO, Nick Tilsen.
