Overview

Matriarch and Environmental Ambassador for the Ponca Nation, Casey Camp-Horinek takes us through the occupied territory of Ponca City, Oklahoma. Through the ancestral teachings of her Ponca culture, Casey has been protecting the Water, Mother Earth and Father Sky through the Rights of Nature and climate justice—while defiantly standing up against giants of industry for Indigenous rights and future generations. In Water Has a Memory, Camp-Horinek takes a “toxic tour” of Ponca territory in Oklahoma, through the Phillips 66 refinery, fracking and injection wells, a carbon black factory, and other industrial sites that contaminate the land and water of the Ponca Nation.
