My name is Future
My mind remembers but the heart feels it
It was the gathering of all directions,
Standing Rock 2016
That’s where it all began
Thousands answered the call and came together to protect our river
We arrived with prayers but they brought weapons
History repeats itself and we tend to forget
Decades ago, When Trump was elected,
we lost a battle but didn’t lose the war
I was 14 back then
In 2020, we saw the largest voting turnout for Natives in history
We elected Joe Biden and he stood with us
He took action to shut down DAPL
He knew he needed to repair the harm it caused
The water was clean and our relations strong
It was a first step towards restoring balance on Earth
My mind remembers but the heart feels it.
President Biden, you can be on the right side of history.
Shut down the Dakota Access Pipeline.
Shut down the Dakota Access Pipeline.
