Silencing a Movement Leader: Nick Tilsen’s Fight for Justice

We’re back for season 4, and in this first episode, we get personal. As some of you may know, Nick Tilsen, Oglala Lakota, Founder & CEO of NDN Collective, is being brought to trial in Pennington County, South Dakota and will be fighting for his freedom.

ℹ️ You can learn more about Nick’s case here: https://ndnco.cc/tilsentrial2026

NDN Collective believes this case to be a politically motivated effort to silence a movement leader by criminalizing his actions and misusing the legal system. Nick is being charged with aggravated assault, simple assault, and obstruction – if found guilty, he could face up to 26 years in prison.
