While compiling notes for the creation of a Department of Bioregion Indigenous Solidarity Guide - we noticed that one of the primary tools - the Standing Rock Solidarity Resource Packet - is now offline, and that the mirror sites for most of it is now also offline. In an effort to preserve the lessons and wisdom learned from the Standing Rock Protests, we wanted to share our PDF’s for historical sake, but also in case they might be useful for future historians, students, activists and organizers. The Standing Rock Solidarity Network Resource Packet was a website and resource guide designed at the request of Indigenous leaders at Standing Rock to welcome and orient newcomers as they arrived. By the end of Standing Rock, it was one of the most linked documents and how to’s.
Standing Rock Solidarity Network Resource Packet
This site was created by a team• of solidarity trainers assembled at the request of Indigenous leaders at Standing Rock. We welcome all groups organizing solidarity of any kind to send us links. We hope this will be a central location for allies to:
get oriented
find indigenous sources of information and analysis
learn about the history and significance of what's happening at Standing Rock
get help deciding whether it makes sense to go in person
find out what the current needs are
find out which donation sites are legitimate
learn where to get reliable updates
connect with local organizing where you live
coordinate transportation
connect with specific delegations (usually organized by constituency such as Black Lives Matter or labor unions, or a specific kind of help being offered such as body workers or people with construction skills.)
If you are planning to go to Standing Rock, please read the orientation materials, which will help you to be the most effective ally you can be.
