Spoiler

I honestly have no idea what to think of this whole debacle. Can someone give me a rundown? I'd love some input on the subject.

This has been covering my news feed for at least a week now. Basically the oil company is bulldozing through a reservation and areas the locals consider to he sacred land. Hundreds of protesters showed up, and the oil company responded with force that included unleashing attack dogs on pregnant women and kids. Then the oil company basically just kept going.

So a lot of people are pretty pissed off about it.
Wait what? How is that even allowed.

Are there any good arguments in favor of the oil pipeline? If there's another side to the story, it would be good to hear it.

I'm friends with a few guys in that protest. The dogs weren't sanctioned by the police. The company called in attack dog training companies to do it. They just unleashed the dogs, until someone realized that this is 2016 and every cell phone was recording it.

They already bulldozed something like 3 burial grounds, without notice. The tribes didn't get to reinter their dead. The graves were just dug through.

On top of it all, the type of pipeline being built isn't the safest, and it goes dead center over the aquifer that supplies the tribes water.

Yeah, this is ugly

If what you're saying is true then this is infuriating and indefensible. I hope the tribe can see some justice for whatever damage was done to humanity's cultural heritage and to the safety of their community.

They're Native American tribes getting fucked by companies and the Feds. Do you REALLY think they'll get justice? No.

We can apologize all we want about how we fucked them over, but this is a perfect example of how those apologies just make us feel better about ourselves while they continue to get fucked.

What happened is the Department of the Interior has reservations classified as Federal Land. At the state level, any big projects like this have to go through a full environmental study and possibly an archeological study. Neither was really done.

The tribes called BS, and here we are.

You will find out who you are not a thousand times, before you ever discover who you are. I hope you find peace in yourself and learn to love instead of hate.
Who cares about that land? They're just going to sit on it and get high, at least with the oil someone can benefit.

Oil company being a sack of potatoes, big surprise there.

There was an oil fuckup in my province a month or so back, related to a pipeline. It got hushed up big time. The pipeline leaked for 14 hours into one of my province's major rivers and the company didn't notify anybody for at least a day and a half. The resulting contamination completely shut down an entire city's water supply for about three weeks and spread further into the smaller rivers.

I've heard that some of the natives haven't exactly been the most peaceful in their protests for that particular line down in the states, but, can you really blame them? They've been fucked around for long enough.

Except this pipeline is being built upstream from the water supply the tribe relies on for many things. The tribe will be greatly fucked if it becomes contaminated by oil.
"Lake Oahe is environmentally and culturally important to the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe, and the pipeline would cross under the lake, which is just upstream from the tribe's reservation, according to the tribe's complaint in the lawsuit.

"The tribe relies on the waters of Lake Oahe for drinking water, irrigation, fishing and recreation and to carry out cultural and religious practices. The public water supply for the tribe, which provides drinking water for thousands of people, is located a few miles downstream of the proposed pipeline crossing route."

Native Americans aren't really natives. At least not on the level the Australian Aboriginals are.

Pretty massive. One need only look at Flint Michigan to see how slow they are to respond to minorities.

It's really the opposite. Pipelines routinely run through towns and private property by way of eminent domain; the only thing really holding this pipeline back is the issue of its interference with a First Nation burial ground. The minority status is exactly what's controversial about the pipeline.

Would this pipeline destroy any archaeological evidence or risk contaminating tribal water supplies?
