Answering the call by Neil Young to "Share the News" - this video was compiled to do just that - fill in the void left by the media's lack of comprehensive coverage of this most troubling and dangerous situation.As he has done for more than a half century, Neil Young has answered the calls for help from the Sioux Tribe. "Indian Givers" was written and recorded within hours in reply to the encroachment on sacred native lands by oil companies planning to lay a pipeline.
(The music used here is from a live performance in Pomona, California by Neil Young and Promise of the Real.)
This would cross sacred burial grounds and the largest water aquifer in the United States. This also is in direct opposition to a treaty that the Sioux received from the U.S. government.People now standing up, resisting corporations , protecting turtle island and mother earth, peacefully and unarmed water protectors facing daily police brutality.Water is life, we stand together, we share the news.
Meanwhile when the whole wide world was watching - Hundreds of water protectors were injured at the Standing Rock encampments when law enforcement blasted them with water cannons in freezing temperatures Sunday evening. The attack came as water protestors used a semi-truck to remove burnt military vehicles that police had chained to concrete barriers weeks ago, blocking traffic on Highway 1806. Water protectors' efforts to clear the road and improve access to the camp for emergency services were met with tear gas, an LRAD ( Long Range Acoustic Device), stinger grenades, rubber bullets; and indiscriminate use of a water cannon with an air temperature of 26 degrees Faranheit. Some flares shot by law enforcement started grass fires which were ignored by the water cannons and had to be extinguished by water protectors. Law enforcement also shot down three media drones and targeted journalists with less lethal rounds.

"Indian Givers" - Neil Young
There's a battle raging on the sacred land
Our brothers and sisters had to take a stand
Against us now for what we all been doin'
On the sacred land there's a battle brewin'
I wish somebody would share the news
I wish somebody would share the news
I wish somebody would share the news
Now it's been about 500 years
We keep taking what we gave away
Just like what we call Indian givers
It makes you sick and gives you shivers
I wish somebody would share the news
I wish somebody would share the news
I wish somebody would share the news
I wish somebody would share the news
Big money going backwards and ripping the soil
Where graves are scattered and blood was boiled
When all who look can see the truth
But they just move on and keep their groove
I wish somebody would share the news
I wish somebody would share the news
I wish somebody would share the news
Saw Happy locked to the big machine
They had to cut him loose and you know what that means
That's when Happy went to jail
Behind big money justice always fails
I wish somebody would share the news
I wish somebody would share the news
I wish somebody would share the news
I wish somebody would share the news
Bring back the days when good was good
Lose these imposters in our neighborhood
Across our farms and through our waters
All at the cost of our sons and squaw daughters
Yeah our brave sons and daughters
We're all here together fighting poison waters
Standing against the evil way
That's what we have at the end of day
I wish somebody would share the news
I wish somebody would share the news
I wish somebody would share the news
I wish somebody would share the news
