Standing Rock Sioux, allies protest Dakota Access pipeline
On the 6th of August, residents of the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation showed up in front of the White House backed by other Native American and pro-Earth activists. The Dakota Access pipeline would pass under Native American burial grounds and when it breaks and spills will contaminate water the tanding Rock Sioux Reservation's residents depend on to stay alive. Digging has already begun for this pipeline even though permits have NOT been issued.
