at the University of New Mexico where he is now an Assistant Professor in American Studies.In 2014, he co-founded a Native American revolutionary organization called The Red Nation. The Red Nation is dedicated to the liberation of Native peoples from capitalism and colonialism and centers Native political agendas and struggles through direct action, advocacy, and education. Nick Estes, a member of the Lower Brule Sioux Tribe, earned his Ph.D. It is a deal with the humble people of the Earth an affirmation that colonialism and capitalism must be overturned for this planet to be habitable for human and other-than-human relatives to live dignified lives and a pact with movements for liberation, life, and land for a new world of peace and justice that must come from below and to the left. Offering a profound vision for a decolonized society, The Red Deal is not simply a response to the Green New Deal, or a "bargain" with the elite and powerful. One-part visionary platform, one-part practical toolkit, The Red Deal is a call to action for everyone, including non-Indigenous comrades and relatives who live on Indigenous land. As the Red Nation proclaims, it is time to reclaim the life and future that has been stolen, come together to confront climate disaster, and build a world where all life can thrive. The Red Deal is a political program for the liberation that emerges from the oldest class struggle in the Americas-the fight by Native people to win sovereignty, autonomy, and dignity. A powerful guide to indigenous liberation and the fight to save the planet.
