We dedicate this Chicana M(other)work episode to the Standing Rock Water Protectors, especially the youth, mothers, and elders. In this episode, Michelle and Cecilia interview Emileah Lujan, a 22-year-old Taos Pueblo Water Protector. Lujan discusses her motivations for going to Standing Rock, the importance of intertribal solidarity, indigenous revolution, and how folks can support the Standing Rock Water Protectors. We close the episode with a live ceremonial song offering of "Water is Life" by Winterbear Suazo, a Taos Pueblo Water Protector.
