Bonus - Brenna TwoBears on NoDAPL, an Indigenous Just Transition, and More!
12/05/23 • 32 min
I recently had a great interview with Brenna TwoBears from the Indigenous Environmental Network, but I couldn’t fit our whole conversation into our last full episode.
Brenna came on to talk about IEN’s ongoing fight to shut down the Dakota Access Pipeline, and how you can take action by submitting comments to the army corps of engineers by December 13th. But we also covered a lot more ground, and I really appreciated what Brenna had to say on the broader context of an indigenous just transition, the proposed Thacker Pass lithium mine, and more!
I think anyone who likes this show will too, so I’m putting out an extended version of our conversation.

Elliott State Forest DRAMA! Plus, The Ongoing Fight to Stop the Dakota Access Pipeline
Today, we have not one, but two amazing guests talking about two important and timely topics: the Dakota Access Pipeline fight, and the recent Elliot State Forest drama.
Bob Sallinger joins to walk me through the bombshell that Oregon State University just dropped on the Elliott State forest process, and why them walking away might actually be good news.
But first, we’ll hear a short excerpt of my conversation with Brenna TwoBears from the Indigenous Environmental Network about their ongoing fight to shut down the Dakota Access Pipeline, and how you can take action by submitting comments to the army corps of engineers by December 13th.
My conversation with Brenna was really fun and we covered way more ground than I could fit into this episode, so I’m releasing the extended interview as a bonus podcast. I hope you give that a listen, I think fans of this show will really appreciate the full conversation!
Speaking of our podcast feed, we have very few reviews and ratings, and it would mean a lot to me if a few more listeners gave us a rating and review.

As always, my email is [email protected].

Reflecting on 2023, and What's Ahead for the Coast Range Association
It’s dark, it’s cold, and it’s very rainy. We may be a couple weeks from the solstice as of this recording, but for my money, we’ve definitely entered another coast range winter.
I love to use this time of year to reflect and take stock, so I figured it was a great time to invite the Coast Range Association’s Executive director, Chuck Willer back for our annual year in review episode.
You can find out more about everything we’ll be discussing today at our website, coastrange.org, and I really want to encourage everyone listening to go to the website and subscribe to our email newsletter. We only send out a few emails a year, and I can promise that Chuck always has something to say that’s worth reading!
