I was told that the same will happen when the Alaska Pipeline was being built. That the Yukon, Chena, Tanana, Gulkana and all the rivers that the pipeline will crossed over will be poison, fishery destroy, caribou herds wipe out, water supply for hundreds of towns (like Fairbanks) and village be threaten and so forth and so forth but it hasn't happen during the past 40 years. Accountability has been pretty high and after driving up the Dalton Highway, Alaska Pipeline is still one of the great marvels of American engineering.

Why can't similar pipeline be build in the Dakotas?? Is the Alaska Pipeline a "one time thing"? Or at these Indians being misinformed?
