Black Snake Killaz: a #NoDAPL story (120 mins) chronicles the resistance to the Dakota Access Pipeline from April 2016 through March 2017. The film highlights actions taken by water protectors to stop the construction of the oil pipeline and investigates actions taken by law enforcement, military, and corporate mercenaries to quell the months-long protest. Black Snake Killaz timelines the historical events that unfolded in Standing Rock and brings you a raw front line experience of direct actions. Although the Dakota Access Pipeline was completed, the impact of the resistance movement will be long-lasting. The importance of the water protectors’ story grows as fossil fuel extraction projects continue to impact some of the most vulnerable communities throughout the world.
Black Snake Killaz: a #NoDAPL story is one of the many stories that has emerged from the #NoDAPL movement. Unicorn Riot offers Black Snake Killaz: a #NoDAPL story as a public resource to provide a concise yet detailed account of these historical events.

** THIS IS AN EXAMPLE SHE GAVE**
The challenges created by myths and stereotypes include fear and arrogance induced by ignorance. What I understand from Saids book is that people are afraid of what they do not know or understand. If the masses have only heard the stereotypes about someone or a group of peoples, they are more likely to mobilize in fear of the unknown. The benefits of dispelling myths and stereotypes are numerous. After reading the portions of Orientalism and watching Saids video, I believe that by dispelling myths, we as a society would better understand each others cultures and, therefore, be less likely to go to war for misunderstandings due to cultural differences. We are also more likely to understand the plight of other people if we know the realities as opposed to the myths that come from preconceived notions. I generally try not to form opinions about other people or cultures until I learn about them. In my own experience, I found that when I visited reservations in Nebraska with other college instructors, the Indians who we met had the idea that we were a group of white, Christian educators. There were about 25-30 people in the group and only a small handful of those were Christian. I then reflected on other times in my life that I have experienced other peoples preconceived ideas about me just from my background. I was raised Jewish in Houston, Texas. I had not experienced prejudice against myself until I lived in Amarillo which is a much smaller and much less diverse city. I recall people who said, Youre the first Jew Ive ever met, Jerry Seinfeld is so funny; are all Jews like that?, You must be rich as well as You dont look Jewish. Until that time, I had fought and demonstrated for other minorities to achieve equal rights and fair treatment as mandated by law, but I myself had never experienced it first hand. Prior to these experiences, I had earned my BA at University of Houston where I was active in the Jewish Student Organization. We would hold events with the Muslim Student Group and the Arab Student Group. We knew that in the world at large, Arabs and Jews were fighting daily, but we believed that if we tried to understand each other, we could dispel some of the myths each group had about the other. I continue to carry my bag of hope that with understanding and acceptance of other cultures, we can build a better, healthier world for all cultures and peoples.
