They say they're worried the pipeline will affect their water supply, or their burial grounds, or their horse herds, the story changes every day. In reality it won't affect any of those things, especially now that it's being built off their reservation.

IIRC there were extensive negotiations prior to the riots and protests, but they couldn't come to a deal (read: they demanded too much money).

But it's all moot now. It's off their land, they have no rights to halt construction, and Trump is pushing it forward. Natives BTFO.

Again, one more stupid question:

I watched a video where the protesters are still trying to hault construction, and apparently the location is a, "Treaty Protected Land."

Do You know where I could find any real documentation or solid evidence to not only prove or disprove this, but to also show some of my friends that the pipeline is also being built off their land now?

Its more for sake of showing my friends since I'm getting bashed pretty hard right now for, "Not supporting the Indians."

._.

Sometimes I wonder why I still talk to people on Facebook. Or even have one. >.>

Demanding a claim be supported with hard evidence is not stupid.

Anyone can Google the pipeline route, it's not a secret. It skirts their land, their protest site isn't even on their land. Seriously do a Google image search for DAPL Route and you can see for yourself it's not on their land.
