[Short version at 29:00 of the video recording] Nick Tilsen is an Indigenous leader, organizer, and social entrepreneur from the Oglala Lakota Nation, founder, president, and CEO of NDN Collective, which he created to systematically strengthen the collective power of Indigenous peoples through organizing, financing, philanthropy, capacity building, and political narrative-building; his more than 20-year career includes community mobilization, land defense, and equitable development across Turtle Island (North America), and he has received fellowships and major foundation awards for his work. He embodies an organizing strategy rooted in Indigenous culture and solidarity, and in a recent interview he highlights the risks and challenges he faces as a visible leader, including legal charges he considers politically motivated, as well as the importance of a structured organization capable of supporting and protecting movements for justice and the LANDBACK movement. NDN Collective is an Indigenous-led advocacy and activist organization based in Rapid City, South Dakota, working with more than 200 Indigenous groups to build the power of Indigenous peoples, communities, and nations in pursuit of self-determination and a world grounded in justice and equity; its mission includes rights advocacy, sustainable community development, the decolonization of social and economic structures, and the promotion of campaigns such as climate justice, racial and educational equity, and the LANDBACK movement aimed at returning traditional lands to Indigenous peoples.

"There may still be time to stop this trajectory. When Russia invaded Ukraine, over 140 states condemned the invasion as illegal, helping avert what would probably have been a death blow to the legal order. This is what it takes to preserve the international legal system when a powerful state violates the rules. So far, however, only a handful of states have been willing to forcefully stand up to Mr. Trump. If states fail to act together to preserve the prohibition on the use of force — the bedrock of the postwar legal order — the toll will be registered in many more lives lost in conflicts that no longer have any guardrails to stop them."
