The Dakota Pipeline protests have been going on since the start of construction of the pipeline in 2016. The Dakota Pipeline is a oil pipeline that is 1,172 miles long. The pipeline goes through Canada, North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa, and Illinois. The pipeline will cost $3.7 billion. This has been the largest Native American gathering in a century.

The Sioux Tribe are protesting. They've sued the Corp's saying that it threatens there environmental and economic-well being. And the pipeline would ruin their historic, religious, burial sites, prayer sites and cultural significance area.

An advocacy group says the pipeline doesn't even cross Standing Rock Sioux Tribe's reservation. The group also says that the US' dependance on foreign oil will decrease. They also say that it will free up transportation on railways and highways for crops.

The Native Americans, Youth groups, farmers, and celebrities are all protesting this pipeline. Many people are using social media to fight with these Native Americans. Social media has had protests with these Native Americans, actress Shailene Woodley went and protested with them. This is good because awareness has spread and more people can know about the pipeline.  These protests and construction sites are starting on Standing Rock Sioux Tribe's Reservation, North Dakota.

The youth groups are fighting because the pipeline harms their water. The groups don't want to worry day to day about if they may or may not have oil in their water.

The Obama Administration was looking out for the Native Americans and the Farmers side. They knew the land was there and didn't want to bother the Native Americans or farmers land. The Obama Administration stopped the construction on the Dakota Pipeline Access on the disputed land. The Trump Administration did as expected and support the pipeline, they are looking at the money side of things and how it will benefit. The advocacy groups also say that it will free up transportation on railways and highways for crops.

In my opinion I think the Dakota Pipeline isn't a good idea. I think it has its pros and its cons just like anything. But I think the cons are important things to take into perspective and I don't think anyone has. I think the pipeline harms the Native Americans way of life. I feel it harms their reservations. Which they have already pushed so far from where they began. This ruins their prayer sites and sacred grounds.
