各國的原住民族仍是隱形、第一時間總被遺忘的族群。現在，他們團結在一起，保護水源、土地和歷史，同時希望能從種族屠殺及依舊存在的不平等待遇中復甦。來自庫契欽第一民族的部落律師塔拉．豪斯卡，記述了政府和產業試圖剝奪原住民族土地及文化的這段歷史，包含在立巖地區長達數個月的抵制輸油管道事件，這項行動團結了世界各地數以千計的人。豪斯卡說：「當人們並肩團結時，所能做到的事是很驚人的。與我們並肩吧！讓我們發揮同理心、互相學習、成長，並開啟新的對話。」

Four years ago, I moved to Washington, DC.

四年前，我搬到華盛頓特區。

I had finished school

到處充斥著「紅皮膚」這個辱稱。
02:14
while my job was going up on the Hill

39
129239
1810
02:23
and being told again and again
40
131073
2069
我一再被告知：
02:25
that Indian people were incapable
of managing our own affairs.

他們要踐踏你的權利，

And last August, I went out

去年八月，我去了立巖地區
蘇族印第安原住民保留地，

02:40
I saw resistance happening.
45
148995

我親眼看到反抗行動，
02:42
We were standing up.
46
150867

There were youth that had run

50
162992
1457
請做點什麼，
02:56
Help us."
51
164473
1231
幫助我們。」
02:59
And I went out, and I heard the call,
52
167174
2469
我走出去，我聽見了呼喊，
03:01
and so did thousands
of people around the world.
of people around the world.
53
169667
2992
全世界數以千計的人也聽見了。
03:04
Why did this resonate with so many people?
54
172683
2597
為什麼這麼多人會對此產生共鳴？
03:07

因為海平面上升，被迫離開家園；
03:25
That's our reality, that's what we live.
60
193194
1907
這就是我們的現實、我們的生活。
03:27
And with these projects
comes a slew of human costs
comes a slew of human costs
61
195125
3698
這些計畫帶來了大量的人力成本，
03:30
that people don't think about:
62
198847
1847
大家卻沒去思考：
03:32
thousands of workers influxing
to build these pipelines,

63
200718
4055
數以千計的工人湧入，
來建造這些管線，

實在太多了，
人們因此發起抗議

03:55
who have been murdered.
70

遭受謀殺。
03:56
And here in the US,
we don't even track that.
we don't even track that.
71
224878
2101
在美國，我們甚至不會去追究，
04:00
We are instead left with an understanding
72
228729
2378
我們得到的反而是：
04:03
that our Supreme Court,
the United States Supreme Court,
the United States Supreme Court,
73
231131
2887
我們的最高法院，美國最高法院，
04:06
stripped us, in 1978, of the right
to prosecute at the same rate
to prosecute at the same rate
74
234042
4558
在 1978 年奪去了我們的權利，
讓我們無法和美國其他地方
有一樣的起訴率。
有一樣的起訴率。
04:10
as anywhere else in the United States.
75
238624
2126
04:13
So as a non-Native person you can walk
onto a reservation and rape someone
onto a reservation and rape someone
76
241236
4123
因此，一個非原住民者
大可以到保留區裡、強暴某個人，
大可以到保留區裡、強暴某個人，
04:17
and that tribe is without the same level
77
245383
2023
而那個部落並沒有
04:19
of prosecutorial ability
as everywhere else,
as everywhere else,
78
247430
3054
和其他地方相同的起訴權利，
04:22
and the Federal Government declines
these cases 40 percent of the time.
these cases 40 percent of the time.
79
250508
3715
且 40% 的案子會被聯邦政府拒絕；
04:26
It used to be 76 percent of the time.
80
254247
3099
以前是 76% 的機率。
04:30
One in three Native women
are raped in her lifetime.

04:35
But in Standing Rock,
you could feel the energy in the air.

83
263711

但在立巖地區，
你可以感覺到空氣中的能量，

04:41
You could feel the resistance happening.
84
269968
2568
你可以感覺到抵抗正在發生。
04:44
People were standing and saying, "No more.
85
272560
3566
大家站出來說：「到此為止，
04:48
Enough is enough.
86
276150
1680
已經夠了。
04:49
We will put our bodies
in front of the machines
in front of the machines
87
277854
2191
我們會以肉身阻擋機器，
04:52
to stop this project from happening.
88
280069
1796
來阻止這個計畫實現。
04:53
Our lives matter.
89
281889
1615
我們的生命非常重要，
04:55
Our children's lives matter."
90
283528
2000
我們孩子的生命非常重要。」
04:58
And thousands of allies came
to stand with us from around the world.
to stand with us from around the world.
91
286483
3619
全世界數以千計的盟友
前來和我們並肩作戰，
前來和我們並肩作戰，
05:02
It was incredible, it was incredible
to stand together, united as one.
to stand together, united as one.
92
290126

那很不可思議。站在一起、
同心協力的感覺，很不可思議。

（掌聲）
05:16
In my time there,
94
304805
2293
我在那裡的時候，
05:19
I saw Natives being chased on horseback
by police officers shooting at them,
by police officers shooting at them,
95
307122
4898
我看到原住民族人
騎在馬背上，被警察開槍追趕。
騎在馬背上，被警察開槍追趕。
05:24
history playing out in front of my eyes.
96
312044
2563
歷史就在我眼前上演。
05:27
I myself was put into a dog kennel
when I was arrested.
when I was arrested.
97
315813
2732
我自己被逮捕的時候，
被丟到狗籠裡，
被丟到狗籠裡，
05:30
But funny story, actually,
of being put into a dog kennel.
of being put into a dog kennel.
98
318569
3015
但其實在狗籠裡的故事還蠻好笑的，
05:34
So we're in this big wire kennel
with all these people,
with all these people,
99
322307
3263
我們一群人被關在大鐵籠裡，
05:37
and the police officers
are there and we're there,
are there and we're there,
100
325594
3620
警察在那裡，我們在那裡，
05:41
and we start howling like dogs.
101
329238
1801
然後我們開始學狗嚎叫。
05:43
You're going to treat us like dogs?
We're going to act like dogs.
We're going to act like dogs.
102
331063
3718
你們要把我們當狗來對待嗎？
那我們就當狗給你看！
那我們就當狗給你看！
05:46
But that's the resilience we have.
103
334805
1821
這就是我們的韌性。
05:49
All these horrific images
playing out in front of us,
playing out in front of us,
104
337334
2945
在我們面前盡是這些可怕的影像；
05:52
being an indigenous person
pushed off of Native lands again in 2017.
pushed off of Native lands again in 2017.
105
340303

身為原住民族人，
在 2017 年，我們再次被趕出家園，
在 2017 年，我們再次被趕出家園，
05:57
But there was such beauty.
106
345200
2144
但這其中也有美的存在。
05:59
On one of the days that we faced
a line of hundreds of police officers
a line of hundreds of police officers
107
347368
3326
抗爭的某一天，
我們面對一整排數百名的警察，
我們面對一整排數百名的警察，
06:02
pushing us back, pushing us
off indigenous lands,

108
350718
3697
他們把我們向後推，
將我們推出故土。

06:06
there were those teenagers
out on horseback across the plains.

109
354439
3691
那時，有一些青少年
騎著馬穿越平原，
騎著馬穿越平原，
06:10
They were herding hundreds
of buffalo towards us,
of buffalo towards us,
110
358744
3294
他們把數百頭野牛趕向我們，
06:14
and we were crying out, calling,
"Please turn, please turn."
"Please turn, please turn."
111
362062
4176
我們大聲疾呼：
「請轉向，請轉向！」
「請轉向，請轉向！」
06:18
And we watched the buffalo
come towards us,
come towards us,
112
366262
2001
然後，我們看著野牛朝我們過來，
06:20
and for a moment, everything stopped.
113
368287
1867
在那一刻，一切都靜止了。
06:22
The police stopped, we stopped,
114
370178
2534
警察停了下來，我們也停了下來。
06:24
and we just saw this beautiful,
amazing moment of remembrance.
amazing moment of remembrance.
115
372736
4032
我們就這樣看著這美麗、
驚人、令人難以忘懷的時刻，
驚人、令人難以忘懷的時刻，
06:31
And we were empowered.
We were so empowered.
We were so empowered.
116
379711

我們因此獲得力量，
我們充滿著力量。
