RED CLOUD WATER PROTECTORS
BUILDING COOPERATIVE ECOLOGICAL ABUNDANCE
The EarthSeed Network
Local Indigenous Solidarity on the Global Stage
I am so hopeful to introduce you to the RED CLOUD WATER PROTECTORS!
This is the pilot project of the EarthSeed Indigenous Solidarity Project- where Water Protectors will be supported through their organic relationships with Indigneous Land Project Leaders- who in turn we hope will be supported by You!!

DONATE TO THE RED CLOUD WATER PROTECTORS HERE!:
​
(note- "Lakota Solar" is Henry Red Cloud's for profit solar business, due to Arbor's mistake that's the name of the domain, but your money will go to the non-profit division, Red Cloud Renewable Energy Center)
And, once the Line 3 Black Snake is dead, We Water Protectors will bring our new homes- the shelter and living systems that we will build with our sweat, "Minnesota"'s regeneratively harvested trees, and Your support-
- back to their owner's (in my case, Henry Red Cloud's "Red Cloud Renewable Energy Center" non-profit) and continue the work of building a post-imperial/colonial world.
​
Building from the Lessons learned from the NO DAPL encampment;
Water Protectors (Arbor) and Indigenous leaders (Henry Red Cloud) have come together to create a sponsorship model that can Stop! the Line 3 Black Snake, and roll over into the foundation for the regenerative coop economy of abundance.

Decent Designs:
​
Energy is eternal delight- it is also the foundation of every society. Fruit follows root, and our world is corrupted by the concentrated power of Oil and other fossil fuels. No entertainment can cover its hollow core, and it will collapse one day if we do not replace it first.
​
For 5000 years humanity has been on a course of abstraction and separation from nature. The ancient Indians brought us 0, Newton brought us Calculus, and with them we conquered nature- while pretending ourselves separate from it.
​
It is time to break the cycle of violence- against the earth and all its communities.
​
Decent Designs exists to steer us down on a course of re-integration- to design and build a foundation for a free world by decentralizing power and thereby decolonizing communities.
