Last week, North Dakota's Sioux Tribe tribe emerged as heroes of climate change, with little or no political or media attention, and they stopped building the Dakota Access oil pipeline worth $ 3 , $ 7 billion. After tribal president David Archambault II and others were arrested for overcoming obstacles to block excavating machines, Leonardo DiCaprio tweeted that he was inspired, and Bill McKibben offered American products. Geography is the "pioneer of the movement." According to the tribe sued the United States Army of Engineers to stop the crew from buried under the Missouri River immediately upstream from their lands, the hashtag was casual, undetectable. #NoDAPL was Rise - short for Dakota Drainage Pipeline.
Meanwhile, the challenge evokes the past ugly past of the United States in the past and present. "It felt like 1875 because the natives were still fighting for our land," writes author Alexey Sherman. Archambault may have described Ferguson and Baltimore when he was in the New York Times, who spoke out against racial issues and declared that "the state has militarized my reservation." In a touch of the epic derp may be funny if it does not actually reveal colored people are assumed to be violent, when Lakota invites their loved ones to pack their peace pipeline and link it to They in solidarity, the county police (white) think they mean pipe bombs.
By the end of the week, thousands of Native Americans across the country had come to Standing Rock, a 3,500-square-mile reserve with 8,250 residents. They were joined by a curious white soil folk and a crew of Black Lives Matters activists from Minneapolis. The camp is located just outside the boundary on land managed by the Army Corps. Police forces blocked the highway to Bismarck, allowing demonstrators - or "defenders" as they insisted on being called - to leave but not to return. At the District Court of the District of Columbia, tribal lawyers argue that the pipeline would contaminate their water and clean up sacred burial grounds. Judge James E. Boasberg said he would decide in the coming weeks to order the pipeline construction company, Dakota Access, a subsidiary of Phillips 66 and a Texas company called Energy Transfer.
Recognizing the wildness of the two most volatile issues of the United States - racism and climate change - I pulled people behind me from my wagon, loaded it with a mattress , 5 gallons of water, and 5 days worth of goods, and drive up to Standing Rock.
