Cowboy & Indian Alliance Gifts Tipi to Pres. Obama: Rally & March

On Saturday, April 26, the Cowboy and Indian Alliance — along with several thousand allies — rallied at the tipi encampment on the National Mall. Featured speakers included legendary musician Neil Young, actress Daryl Hannah, Jane Kleeb of Bold Nebraska, Dallas Goldtooth of the Lower Sioux Dakota Nation, Chief Rueben George, and Nebraska rancher Meghan Hammond.

After the rally, the Cowboy and Indian Alliance led a march through the streets of D.C. to the National Museum of the American Indian, where a ceremony was held to gift a tipi in honor of Pres. Obama. We are asking the President to REJECT the Keystone XL pipeline, and PROTECT our land, water and climate for future generations. #NoKXL

3. THIS IS SO IMPORTANT!

Pres. Obama instructed us at the beginning of his Presidency to move him leftward.

This should help.

Wonderful alliance. Let's hope it gains traction!

12. It is a stunning photo.

Why is it that the sight of a teepee has such a profound effect on us?

15. come to think of it, you are right

at least for me, the image invokes a feeling of balance. It is comforting. They look as if they belong there.
