Help The Lakota Keep Their Land Free Of Oil Pipeline
The Dakota Access Pipeline guards unleash attack dogs on our American Indian Water Protectors, literally.
Why is this important?
A pipeline is being installed across Indian lands, some sacred lands, belonging to the Lakota tribe of the Sioux nation. No full EPA was done, just the catchall "No significant impact to the environment." The pipeline company is pushing their way through with construction and 16 tribes have joined to protest. The POTUS promised:
"You will not be forgotten as long as I'm in this White House. Indians will have a seat at the table when important decisions are being made bout your lives. Washington can't -- and shouldn't -- dictate a policy agenda for Indian country. Tribal nations do better when they make their own decisions." Pres. Barack Obama 11/5/2009.
Is it true or not? The tribes have banded together. They need the support of others who share the values and understand the continual taking of their property. It's time to say, "No More!"
