Synopsis

STANDING ROCK 2016-2017 Dr. Pamela Eakins memorializes the events of the Standing Rock standoff between the People and Big Oil with poems and prose that bite into the soul. She chronicles the Standing Rock year in the seasons of Fall, Winter, Spring and Summer. In this environmental and poetic "rant," she raises critical questions related to the issues and expresses a deep sense of what it means to "walk in a sacred manner." Standing Rock: Water, Oil, Sun & Children raises the central question: How will we balance the future of the Earth? None of us has the answer, but all of us can participate in the conversation. Pamela writes, "I Am a Human Being and I Will Speak Out. And these words, whether or not they are good or whether or not they are enough – because they could never be good enough or enough enough – will instantaneously become waves and particles in the movement of the flow, such that, though they have no power to tilt the planet, they might help tilt the consciousness of one or two of the planet's inhabitants. And it only takes one inhabitant in any given moment – influenced in whatever ways that inhabitant has been – as we have seen throughout the course of human 'history,' to divert the course of the Future." May we all awaken in the collective dream of the Water Protectors.
