Faith Spotted Eagle of the Yankton Dakota blasted the proposed pipeline, saying "This is a blatant violation against our treaties." The pipeline crosses land promised to the Great Sioux Nation in the 1868 Ft Laramie treaty but later stolen in subsequent wars. Ranchers as well as Native Americans were at the Canadian Embassy.

Lately the Canadian Embassy has had plenty of unwelcome visits by pro-Earth protesters, almost every one of them caused by repeated Canadian attacks on the right of Indigenous people to exist.
