    If water is life, the protectors at the encampment at Standing Rock, North Dakota are there to protect all living things; not just the indigenous life ways of native people. Recently a contingency of Mashantucket Pequot tribal members and museum representatives have returned from their travels to Standing Rock. They will be sharing their experiences, answering questions, and discussing ways that all people can work to support the efforts of protectors now, for our shared future together.
