The standing rock Sioux reservation pipeline protest

in #aboriginal8 years ago

Gotta love how big corporations can just walk all over the little people. A native reserve in cannon ball N.D. Is being suppressed by energy transfer partners Dakota pipelines security force. 

The company is building a pipeline that runs right past the reserve, underneath the Missouri River and through a bunch of apparent ancestral burial grounds. 

The Standing Rock Sioux Tribe filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for not addressing the aboriginal governance about the project.
