As Long as Grass Grows is a groundbreaking book that sheds light on the environmental injustices faced by Indigenous peoples, particularly in the United States.

The author, Dina Gilio-Whitaker, argues that the mainstream environmental movement has been an impediment to effective organizing and allyship with Indigenous communities.

Through a unique lens of "Indigenized environmental justice," Gilio-Whitaker explores the fraught history of treaty violations, struggles for food and water security, and protection of sacred sites, while highlighting the important leadership of Indigenous women in this centuries-long struggle. The book provides an accessible history of Indigenous resistance to government and corporate incursions on their lands, offering new approaches to environmental justice activism and policy.

As Long as Grass Grows is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the intersection of environmentalism and social justice, particularly in the context of the ongoing struggle for Indigenous sovereignty.

The book's far-reaching and nuanced account of the foundational and continuous role colonization plays in environmental injustice for Indigenous peoples makes it a vital road map for the ongoing fight for a just and sustainable future.
