In late January of this year, as over nearly three decades have passed, the Des Moines Art Center has decided it will dismantle Greenwood Pond: Double Site due to its general failure of upkeep as well as a lack of funding for the project’s maintenance.

Ruth Clement Bond, “Black Power” quilt, 1934. The image celebrates the importance of rural electrification to Black communities. But when students saw it, they suggested the title “Black Power,” an early use of this resonant phrase. @madmuseum #blackpower https://t.co/nfOTHIIwIm

[Greta Thunberg @GretaThunberg]

Indigenous peoples are on the frontlines of the climate- and ecological crisis. But they are also leading the fight against it.
The solutions need to include indigenous peoples.
And there can of course not be climate justice without indigenous justice.
