Oglala Lakota tribal members, Oglala Sioux Tribe Vice President Tom Poor Bear, Native youth, Deep Green Resistance (DGR), and other allies march on White Clay, Nebraska to protest the sale of alcohol a mere two miles south of the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota where alcohol is banned.

Native youth, Deep Green Resistance, and their supporters break away for a direct action lock down.  In the midst of the lock down, issues of unity and opportunism arise, affirming that the breakdown of the traditional Lakota matriarchal system of leadership has led to division and abuse.

The Strong Heart Solidarity Media Team express our appreciation for the role of women in the breakaway direct action by Native youth, Lakota people, and DGR supporters.

Strong Heart's annual summer blockade of White Clay, Nebraska emphasizes the sovereignty of the Lakota Oyate.  Coming up in July 2012
