Diolch, Lywydd. The struggle at Standing Rock reservation in the United States has captivated the world: the people versus the Dakota Access pipeline; an ancient and proud community versus the power of the corporations. In a year where the millionaires and billionaires seem to be winning everything, Standing Rock shows that popular resistance can still win. It shows that there are people who will not let our natural resources be damaged by those who only want to wreck the land for profit. By standing together, the people have won an initial victory in the struggle, but they and we must remain vigilant. Thanks to the power of social media, the native Americans have inspired people across the world. They asked for our solidarity and we gave it as part of the new activism where local struggles are connected globally. We in Wales know only too well the value of our natural resources. Was Tryweryn not our own version of Standing Rock? Remembering our own Welsh history, let us say today that Wales stands with Standing Rock.
