In 2018, we've decided to broaden the focus of this project to all indigenous and Native American issues. Beginning with our work in Standing Rock, we have looked to elders to give us advice about environmental degradation. With their wisdom, we aim to receive and disseminate this information to others who may not be aware of the atrocities that continue. Thus, we are making a commitment to create and support programs that focuson empowering Native American youth.
As we continue to support Native issues, we are thus horrified at the actions of Scott Pruitt, head of the EPA, who has had an arragement with fossil fuel companies. Basically living as a tenant, his condo is owned by CEO of Williams and Jensen, which represents Exxon Mobil and the liquefied natural gas company Cheniere Energy, among others.
Therefore, as a supporter of ours and of environmental issues, we ask you to please join us in supporting native voices at the forefron't of our country's most urgent issues.
