Umm…. because the pipeline company is violating a treaty by putting a pipeline through sovereign lands and endangering their water supply. What the pipeline company and US government is doing is illegal. Had they pulled this on Canada, it would have started a war. The only real difference is the Indian tribes don’t have a military to defend themselves with.
define progress. All the modern luxuries in the world are worthless if you can’t breathe the air, drink the water or grow food. Much of our so called progress has harmed these essential needs, without which there is no future.
Funny how, when right wingers occupied federal land in Oregon, they were let completely alone. What’s the difference? Here, the protestors are standing in the way of the thoroughly-rich further enriching themselves. That can not be allowed to stand!
Looks like they didn’t see who won the election. It is time for all minorities to report for registration. Cease and desist all protesting. America voted for you to have no rights.
It isn’t progress, it is on their land and it is over sacred land at that. Are you that hateful of other religions, and what of property rights, are you a Communist in this?
The Bundy Clan would sure help get rid of those pesky mercenary police, cause they’re “locked and loaded”, backed by Republican politicians, and white with certain priviledges.
“The Bundy Clan would sure help get rid of those pesky mercenary police,”That is what is needed then, being “locked and Loaded” loved by republicans and most of all they are White.Why the MSM are ignoring this?This should be on every night, on ABC,CBS,and NBC.
That is why the US ranks in the 30s among nations in standard of living. We don’t care about standard of living as long as we are number one in standard of consumption.
It has nothing to do with race. Look into the abuses by frackers of property rights and their exemption from the clean water act. Oil is King in America

When progress drives over your land it’s hard to get out of the way.

Why do you and your ilk stand in the way of human decency, civil rights and well, humanity in general?
