This year marks the tenth anniversary of the Minnehaha Free State, the longest urban occupation in US history. On the coldest night of the year in 1998, over 600 police brutalized and arrested over 35 residents of the camp on sacred land in south Minneapolis. This book chronicles the encampment from beginning to end.

We say, "They're building a new highway" or "They're cutting down the rainforests." Our language reveals that we think of ourselves as spectators in our own societies. "They" are not the mysterious other people who have made the world this way. It is we, humanity ourselves. We, along with the city planners, scientists and bureaucrats, have and are transforming this planet. We are responsible for cutting down the trees, slaughtering the animals and building the corporations.
