You need to check your facts, this pipeline is not on reservation land it is on private and state land. It was put on that route after many years of public hearings and environmental/cultural studies This whole thing stated because the tribe jacked up the fees for crossing its land so high that it was not practical to use that path so they moved the route OFF tribal lands. when they saw this the tribe got mad and started all the BS about ancestors being dug up to get back at the pipeline company. This whole protest was fabricated to punish the pipeline company for not paying the fees to the tribe.
