Native Land Return

Greetings from Joanne Forman, an oldtimer in Taos, New Mexico. Just heard part of "Spirit in Action" on "my" Pacifica-related station, KCEI, 90.1 FM. MOST interested to hear the gentleman who biked Minnesota, and his remarks about land return/reparations. (Taos Pueblo has managed to hang on to about 50,000 acres.) Regarding Standing Rock: I have not, so far, been able to find an answer to this question; hope you can help: Was there then (or now)any attempt to contact PIPELINE WORKERS--either through their union, or any other means? Obviously, if the workers don't do the work, the work doesn't get done. At the same time, workers with good jobs are eager to hang on to them. IF an attempt was made, whether it was rebuffed or not, we'd at least know something. I CAN'T be the only person to have thought of this!!! Thanks for your attention, and I will pay more attention to Northern Spirit Radio.
