And though 212 years separate these controversial crossings, both reveal the continued survival of Tribal Nations in the face of colonial conquest. 'Crossing Mnisose' quite brilliantly draws a line from Lewis and Clark's historic encampment at Fort Mandan to the present day, as descendants of the Dakota and Lakota Nations continue their fight to ensure that the Mnisose, and the lands that contain the burials of their ancestors, are preserved for future generations." Nagle's play will be presented at 4 p.m. June 15 at Record. XIUHTEZCATL MARTINEZ Environmental Activist Charlotte Buchanan-Yale says Xiuhtezcatl Martinez was clearly meant to speak at this year's Native American Cultural Symposium. She first saw him on a television program she was serendipitously home to see, she says — a 17-year-old indigenous climate activist, hip- hop artist recording with Quincy Jones, author of the 2017 book "We Rise: The Earth Guardians Guide to Building a Movement That Restores the Planet" and founder of a movement that has grown to thousands of crews in 35 countries working to combat climate change. She invited him, and he gave up what might be considered a more prestigious event to come to Northwest Arkansas. "Even in the first few years of my life, I could tell something was wrong with the world," he writes in "We Rise." "I learned from my parents that everything is connected, and what we do to the Earth, we do to ourselves. "Even as a little boy, who could barely see over the counter, I saw the desperation in the planet I loved. I wanted to do something about it. It didn't really have anything to do with being an 'activist.' I just wanted people to understand how I felt and hold adults accountable for what they were passing on." "I believe with all my heart that the stars are aligning with these young people who may very well save the world," Buchanan-Yale says. "And it gives me hope." Martinez will speak at 2 p.m. June 15 at Record and perform at the Forest Concert Series at 7 p.m. June 16 at Crystal Bridges. His book is available at MONAH, and he will be signing copies June 15 at Record and June 16 at MONAH. COVER STORY Martinez
