Jacklyn Bryan (right), of South Royalton, presents the Sioux Flag on the campus of Vermont Law School (VLS), on Friday, May 19. The VLS chapter of the Native American Law Students Association (NALSA) honored Standing Rock Sioux Tribal Chairman David Archambault II, with an honorary degree from VLS, acknowledging his work in environmental stewardship. In a follow up email, Bryan, outgoing Vice President of NALSA, stated, "I left my home on my small reservation in California to come to Vermont Law School because I knew they could give me the skills to advocate for underrepresented minority groups like mine. My Tribe has unresolved water rights with the City of Los Angeles, and I hope to one day to be a part of that resolution. Coming to law school with this mission made it easy to connect with the issues at Standing Rock. The opposition to the Dakota Access Pipeline lead by Standing Rock Sioux was joined by many tribes because so many could relate to a potential violations of the Tribes clean water."
