I can't grasp why a sovereign nation (Indian Land) that has sacred ground and needs drinking water must have a pipeline right there. I must be missing something.

Hopefully, that pipeline can be stopped.

Me too but I am too old to go to jail in the USA which is where they would put me for coming down and interfering.

Re:

Profits trump need! If there is a buck to be made by the big boys, doesn't matter what destruction or trampling of rights have to happen, just the profit margin. Absolutely disgusting but I am heartened by the determination and resolve of everyone who stands with Standing Rock.

I just don't understand why it has to come through the usa if it's canadian oil being sold to china....and why are we paying for it?

Don't the rights of anybody matter anymore?
