In a statement, the Indigenous Environmental Network is celebrating all the prayers and support the #NoDAPL movement has received over the years. While Boasberg’s opinion clearly states the flow of oil must stop, the organization is prepared to fight to see that through. “The Standing Rock and Cheyenne River Sioux Tribes have shown the world that treaty rights and environmental justice are not token concepts without merit, but rather tangible arguments that inherently protect the sacredness of mother earth. We will continue to fight until DAPL is stopped completely,” the statement said.

The STAR is an annual publication intended to provide an understanding of the importance and impact of Tribal air programs. Tribal needs, priorities, and recommendations are all outlined, and the successes and challenges experienced by the environmental professionals are highlighted by way of personal narratives submitted by the Tribes themselves.

This webinar will provide an overview of the STAR, share of the stories within the STAR and provide the specific recommendations for national leadership to advance air quality on and around Tribal lands.

The STAR will be published on NTAA’s website on June 22, 2020.
