Co-host Jacqueline Keeler joins Paul Roland to discuss the ongoing resistance to the Dakota Access Pipeline and other threats to Native treaty rights
Five years ago, the building resistance against the Dakota Access Pipeline in North Dakota exploded into an unprecedented series of encampments near the Cannon Ball River, on the Standing Rock Dakota Sioux Reservation.
While Trump famously reversed the (belated) Obama decision to halt construction over contested Army Corps of Engineers permits, the project had been allowed to go forward under Obama.
Now the Biden administration is allowing the pipeline to continue despite the ongoing threats it poses to the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe and the fact that it is operating without a federal permit.
