"We have seven reservations in the state of Montana... when it comes to the crimes that are affecting us, we're all on the same reservation." - Judge Gregory Mohr, Sidney, MT
The fracking oil boom is not just impacting prices at the pump. It takes a toll on communities, migratory animals and those most vulnerable to exploitation by the influx of oil workers with free time and cash to spend: Native American women, girls and boys who are trafficked to "man-camps" in the most callous example of the Wild West mentality.
We are excited to announce that the award-winning documentary filmmaker Simon Brook has signed on to direct 3 Generations' upcoming film The Second Gift, which will explore the societal toll of fracking on Native American communities living around the Bakken oil fields. Preparation work has begun and we hope to begin filming this coming January.
Today, on Columbus Day or as we like to call it, Indigenous People's Day, consider America's history with Native Americans. Take action to stop the egregious violations of the earth and the basic human rights of Native American women and children by donating now.
