LOZANO NATHAL, Luz. Fighting for Water and the Generation of a New Type of Pan-indianism. Alteridades [online]. 2018, vol.28, n.55, pp.75-85. ISSN 2448-850X.  https://doi.org/10.24275/uam/izt/dcsh/alteridades/2018v28n55/lozano.

In an era of globalization, it is clear an increase in Indian movements that intend to defend their native territory, and protect their natural resources such as water. Their demands are becoming more widespread as a result of the neoliberal economy and an accelerated extractive activity. This article considers historical examples of Pan-indian organizations which are directly related to recent events concerning the defense of the Missouri River, driven by the Lakota people, in the United States, during the past few years, and have become more important since Donald Trump assumed the presidency.
