London Stands with Standing Rock

U S Embassy, London. Mon 19 Sep 2016

  

 
 Lighting the smudge stick of Lakote sage

 It is held above an abalone bowl

 a feather is used to waft the smoke over each person around the circle in turn

 

 Then an American flag is smudged

 

 

  and the Lakota nation flag
 
and the ceremony continues with both flags held in the circle 

 

 

 

A man blows out a large cloud of yellow powder in front of the banner outside the US Embassy in a non-violent, prayerful act of solidarity 

 

 

Elliot Staircase who organised the protest works with the Standing Rock Sioux tribe 

 

 

 

'Quit your pipe dreams - Reality requires alternatives'
