Reality is disturbing.

A while ago, @aubadeglass and I went to get these tattoos at Enso Tattoo. The entirety of the cost of the tattoo was donated directly to the water protectors at Standing Rock. I want to share this now because I want to remind everyone that Energy Transfer is still doing everything they can to push the pipeline forward despite their permits being denied by the Army Corps of Engineers. We need to continue to support the peaceful warriors and peaceful protectors. We need to protect the land and the water. We need to stop exploiting and start protecting. We need to advocate for responsible energy sources and equality for all. This tattoo is a tiny but lasting symbol of my support, of my promise to remain an ally and an advocate.

#ClimateWarrior @autumn.peltier Climate Activist Autumn Peltier is Anishinaabe-kwe and a member of the Wikwemikong First Nation and an internationally recognized advocate for clean water. She is a water protector and has been called a "water warrior". Peltier addressed world leaders at the UN General Assembly on the issue of water protection at the age of thirteen in 2018. Peltier lives on the Unceded Anishinaabe Territory on Manitoulin Island in northern Ontario. She began her advocacy on behalf of water at the age of eight and was inspired by her great aunt, Josephine Mandamin. The turning point for her advocacy was attending a ceremony at the Serpent River Reservation and saw a warning sign against drinking the water, and learned that not all people in Canada have access to clean drinking water. In April, 2019 Peltier was named the chief water commissioner by the Anishinabek Nation. This position was previously held by her great-aunt Josephine Mandamin. This portrait comes from my illustration series titled "Visual Activism". It was inspired by this message from 17-year-old climate activist Autumn Peltier; "Our waters deserve to be treated as human with human rights. We need to acknowledge our waters with personhood so we can protect our waters." • #RickFraustoFineArt Autumn Peltier Drawing, 2020 #originaldrawing on archival paper Dimensions: 6 X 9 inches • ✔️The Original Drawing and Prints of this image are now available for purchase on my website: www.rickfrausto.com • #AutumnPeltier #WaterProtector #ART #VisualActivism #YouthRising #Power #AnishinabekNation #ClimateStrike #Artivist #AutumnPeltierQuotes #protectOurWaters #QuoteOfTheDay #ArtOfTheDay #ArtisLife #illustration #InspiredByNature #illustrateyourworld #Tribute #Portrait #extinctionrebellion #FridaysForFuture #ThislsZeroHour #WaterCommissioner #insta_artgallery #ArtForSocialJustice #artcollective #mniwiconi (at Ontario Canada) https://www.instagram.com/p/CcqksoNvHbV/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

You don't even need to drive deep to find the conspiracy anymore. Reposted from @lakotalaw Goddamn… Water Protectors at Line 3 just found out how Game of Thrones this situation really is. Could Gibson & Dunn be anymore of a Little Finger? It’s connected to defending DAPL & Enbridge and now ICWA.
