TheOcetiSakowinCamp is a historic gathering of Native nations, friends and allies, from all walks of life standing in solidarity to halt the Dakota Access Pipeline.

"Just as we give thanks for our good fortune and the bounty of our livesas Americans, let us thank the Native people who are gathered here atStanding Rock to protect the natural world and defend our place in it," saidJackson Browne.

"I'm proud to be standing in support of the courageous and dedicated Water Protectors at Standing Rock. This movement is growing by the day with solidarity actions happening around the country, yet the media isn't covering it nearly enough. Our hope is that this concert will help bring more awareness and media attention to the issues being raised at Standing Rock, and to put pressure on The Obama Administration to halt construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline until protection of sacred sites is ensured,"saidBonnieRaitt.
