00:02 This is a story of the Batterver people

00:06 and their home on Lake Superior.

00:08 Our people have been here for millennia.

00:11 They've had to fight for who they are.

00:14 And the Ojibwe have been resisting ever since.

00:19 There was a black car that used to ride around.

00:22 We see that coming, we run.

00:24 They basically just grab kids and take them and take them

00:26 off to these boarding schools.

00:28 They were modeled after prison systems.

00:31 It was a genocidal project.

00:34 The whole idea was your culture is primitive.

00:38 The oppression and racism just hit a pinnacle.

00:41 It was all built up.

01:09 It is the grandmother of the Great Lakes.

01:11 It is the freshwater stronghold of planet Earth.

01:15 Trying to shut down a pipeline, that's a major endeavor.

01:19 It's a David and Goliath type of situation, right?

01:21 You got to stop it.

01:22 My little tribe is protecting water for the planet.

01:26 It'll be one hell of a fight.

01:30 This is a story of defiance.

01:33 We got to protect our water.

01:36 To die first, we have to.
