Featuring Arlinda Locklear and Heather Kendall-Miller. From the Dakota Access Pipeline to the expansion of crude oil shipping in Gray’s Harbor Washington to uranium mining in Arizona, there seems to be no limit to environmental strife and its effect on Native peoples and their land. Both Locklear and Kendall-Miller have been instrumental in protecting tribal rights to land and water as well as protecting the environment at large. Both women have been part of landmark cases instrumental in protecting the environment. Most were won through enforcement of treaty rights and bringing greater accountability to protect the tribes.
