Jasilyn Charger
Jasilyn Charger is a girl who’s from Cheyenne River Reservation located in Eagle Butte, South Dakota. She had a big impact on the global society.

At the age of 23 she understood that growing up what she wanted to do with her life wasn’t what other kids wanted to do. She was focused on protecting the land that her ancestors found and gave their lives for, for her to utilize and proper on.

She is 23 years old and has been on the frontlines for six years battling pipelines, protecting and advocating for Native American and LGBTQ rights. Currently she is supporting a local movement for MMIW with the Women Warriors Society opposing the construction of the KXL pipeline. Jasilyn is the co-founder of the International Indigenous Youth Council, The One Mind Movement, and 7th Defenders, a grass roots group that serves disadvantaged youth and young adults on the Cheyenne River Reservation. Jasilyn Charger was one of the few youth who ignited the Standing Rock. “The land is the only real thing that we have left,besides our culture.”is a thing that she states. When she was a kid,her mother and her friends always told her stories about being part of movements. As young people we started learning how to community organize,which was a trail and faul type if thing.We failed at times.Coming from not knowing anything,going into a space where people were making change,and then coming back to this place where change is desperately needed…was life changing for me.
