Native American Pipeline Protest, Calling Sports, Brain Addiction

Why the Dakota Pipeline Has United American Indians into a National Movement Guest: Michalyn Steele, JD, Professor of Law at BYU, Member of the Seneca Nation of Indians of New York Back in April, a few members of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe set up camp to protest the construction of a pipeline to carry crude oil from North Dakota to Illinois. Tribe members say the pipeline endangers sacred burial grounds and could threaten the tribe’s water supply. Late last week, a judge denied the tribe’s request for a temporary injunction to halt construction. But almost immediately, the US Justice Department stepped in and ordered construction near the tribe’s reservation to stop so government officials can review the permits and ensure the tribe was properly consulted. Even with that temporary victory, the protest movement encamped near the pipeline route in North Dakota is growing. Thousands of people from many different American Indian tribes have set up tents and trailers. The camp is now larger than most small towns in North Dakota. It’s clear this is about more than just the Dakota Access pipeline.
