While reporting from the standoff at Standing Rock in September, Democracy
Now! sat down with Standing Rock Sioux tribal historian LaDonna Brave Bull
Allard to speak about another attack against her tribe—this one on the same day
153 years before. On September 3, 1863, the U.S. Army massacred more than 300
members of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe in what became known as the Whitestone
massacre. LaDonna Brave Bull Allard is not only the tribal historian, she’s also
one of the founders of the Sacred Stone Camp, launched on her land April 1,
2016, to resist the Dakota Access pipeline.
