Isn’t banning protests a violation of the first amendment?
Oil and water: The fight to save clean water on the Fort Peck Indian Reservation
More on the pipeline trying the same shit as DAPL, crossing just upstream of the Fort Peck Reservation (my home reservation) in Montana in the perfect place to poison the Missouri River waters that the people drink.
It is also skirting just upstream of the Cheyenne River Reservation in South Dakota. The Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe draws water from both the Missouri (downstream from Fort Peck) and the Cheyenne (which flows into a reservoir along the Missouri).
TransCanada is carelessly endangering the water and health of over 21,000 Native people living on the reservations KXL is strategically crossing upstream of. Nobody would dare to directly endanger the drinking water of white communities but Indigenous people are disposable to US and Canadian capitalists. We get to drink the oil first.
Building is set to start Fall 2018.
