Tara Houska is a tribal rights attorney in Washington DC. She’s also former Director at Honor the Earth, the indigenous environmental justice group. Tara is of Couchiching First Nation, bear clan, and in late 2016, she called Morton County North Dakota home for six months. There she stood shoulder-to-shoulder on the frontlines at Oceti Sakowin, the gathering of Indigenous Nations at Standing Rock Indian Reservation in defense of clean water. “Eighty percent of the world’s remaining biodiversity is in indigenous lands, so we are the last holders of these sacred places,” says Houska. “One answer of how do we solve this—beyond just teaching the truth—is standing together and really figuring out how do we have justice and equality in the era of climate change.”
