On an exemplary case of Indigenous and non-Indigenous conflict and its legaciesPublished with OCA.The People's Action against the Nordic lté-Guovdageaidnu Waterway (c. 1978-82) radically shook the course of history in the region. Its call to let the river liveé clamored against the construction of a large dam across the Allteatnu river in Norway. The action grew to an unexpectedly broad movement of solidarity across civil societySmi and Norwegian, as well as Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples internationallyin which Smi artists played a pivotal role.Let the River Flow takes this eco-Indigenous rebellion, the first in Europe and inspirational worldwide, to reflect on events at the time and their correlations with international artistsé eco actions today. It is conceived as a reader, and addresses innovations in political organizing, new influences of Indigenous thinking on contemporary politics and the centrality of artists within the constellation of these activities. It also considers other Indigenous artistsé protests that happened in parallel to the actions mentioned.
