An oil pipeline is toxic to the environment., Andrew. let's just start with that. Come to the table? How many times have Native Americans "come to the table" only to have the agreements broken? Abuses and infractions of Native American rights goes on to this day; just take a look at Pine Ridge living conditions - especially for the children.  That treaty goes back a long time. It's shameful. Yet we can send Israel billions and billions of dollars every year plus billions more in military aid. Shameful and disgusting.
