U.S. Government Bans Native American Tribe From Protesting On Their Own Land – Police Remove Protesters
A North Dakota federal court has prohibited indigenous tribes from protesting the Bakken pipeline on their own reservations.
Dakota Access, a developer of the pipeline, filed the report citing “Worker and law enforcement safety was at risk”.
This reaction originates from the non-violent protest by the Sanding Rock, Rose Bud and lower Brule Sioux.Dave Archambault II, chairman of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe said, “as we have said from the beginning, demonstrations regarding Dakota Access must be peaceful.”
Even though there had been no report of violent confrontation with police or otherwise, removing the protest encampments and demonstrators may proceed.
The Bakken pipeline is the less popular version of the Keystone XL pipeline. The Bakken pipeline is 1,134-mile long underground oil pipeline project for crude oil from the Bakken oil fields in Northwest North Dakota, through South Dakota, Iowa and end in Patoka, Illinois.
The Bakken project runs through Native American sacred sites, water sources, such as the Mississippi and Missouri rivers.When money is to be made like $3.8-billion and 570,000 barrels of sweet crude oil every day to feed America’s oil habit, we don’t let scared sites or ecosystems get in the way.
Take for example when trespassing settlers found gold in Pahá Sápa or the black hills in 1874.
The black hills where Dakota land by treaty with the United States,once gold was found in Pahá Sápa, the US rescinded the treaty. After the US broke the treaty the gave the Dakota 6 smaller land parcels.
To the Dakota, Pahá Sápa was sacred and no 6 parcels could replace it.When it comes to profit there is nothing sacred enough.
We also have to take into account the environmental destruction the Bakken pipeline will spread across over 1,100 miles?The process used by Dakota Access is Hydraulic fracturing from North Dakota’s oil-rich Bakken Formation.Hydraulic fracturing or “Fracking” has many environmental hazards that outweigh the economic benefits.
Increased seismic activity is felt along dormant or long quiet fault lines.One of the big issues with fracking has the potential to contaminate ground and surface water.Here is a video with some lighting their water on fire with fracking going on nearby.
Let’s also remember Native American tribes were not given the right to free speech, press, and assembly until the Indian Civil Rights Act (ICRA) in 1968.
Even now those right are selective and arbitrarily removed at the whim of the state whenever it best profits their interests.

same old government screwing the indians even more!!
How do they arrest the Indians on Tribal Lands?
So the Indians can;t even protest on the Reservation ?
And America calls itself “the land of the free”
, free of rational thinking
I found a new alternative news forum

As if the United States could ever be trusted to hold up its end of a bargain or honor treaties when there’s money to be made and they stand in the way of corporate profit.
Native Americans never really gravitated towards R0man cath0lism much, even though they had it shoved down their throats. You always hear about the Spanish or the French trying to Christianize the natives, but the fact is that R0man cath0lism is NOT Christianity. And I find it interesting that the groups that seem to have the most problems and hardships in America are the Native Americans and the Blacks. Blacks seem to have taken more to Pr0testant Christianity baptist etc. What I’m getting at is this it seems that there could be a possibility that these groups of Americans have been, and are being punished for rejecting R0man cath0lism?? I don’t know but isn’t it interesting that our Je$uit controlled government bends over backwards to facilitate an invasion of our southern b0rder and gives so much favor to people from Mexico and central America many of which are ILLEGAL and most are…. You guessed it R0man catholic… Something to think about anyway.
More peaceful protests, and write your congressman! Muahahahahahahaha!
The pale faces with the forked tongues are at it again! Remember custer’s last stand! Same people, further east, same government!
I live in South Dakota. The folks building this pipeline are doing it right through one of the fields my 90 year old grandmother owns. She rents the field to someone that is capable of using it to produce corn and soy beans. She fought them over what she should be paid to allow this to go through her field. She won in court, and was granted WAY more money than what she was originally offered.
Point being, they will stop at nothing to build this pipeline. They are willing to outright buy your land from you at 3 times the value just to get this pipeline to where it needs to go.
