Native Americans, like the Standing Rock Sioux, are protesting because this will be right under the Mississippi River, which is a drinking source. Also, it will be built where the Indians sacred ground is.]]> 2018-08-17 13:18:19 UTC https://padlet.com/smiller311/nygqbb7isrxn/wish/273702712 Through what tribal countries, states, and tribal lands would it cross? Identify the stakeholders on either side and summarize the argument? smiller311 https://padlet.com/smiller311/nygqbb7isrxn/wish/274714176 This pipeline would cover 1,172 miles of land from Montana would border Canada, into South Dakota,Iowa and Illinois. It would cross into the Standing Rock Sioux tribal lands.Trump is in support of this because it will be a big economic boost and it would free up railways for crops. The Indians are not for this because it will destroy their burial, praying and special artifacts.  ]]> 2018-08-22 21:08:21 UTC https://padlet.com/smiller311/nygqbb7isrxn/wish/274714176 Using evidence, complete an analysis of the Dakota Access Pipeline, focus specifically on who will benefit and who will suffer as a result of the pipeline. What are some actual/potential benefits of the pipeline? How about actual/potential drawbacks? smiller311 https://padlet.com/smiller311/nygqbb7isrxn/wish/274727062 The developer of Energy Partners said that it would be an economic boon, and that it decrease the US reliance on foreign oil. The Indians will suffer because it will go through their sacred lands, and could have environmental concerns for everyone else. Some benefits is that it would make it easier to get oil and put more crops on trains to be delivered and add lots of construction jobs. A drawback is that it would cost a lot of money and would take a long time to do with lots of people protesting. ]]> 2018-08-22 23:11:52 UTC https://padlet.com/smiller311/nygqbb7isrxn/wish/274727062 What might account for such differing views on construction of the pipeline? Trump supports it because he believes it will serve in the national interest and he had cancelled the Obama administrations order. The other reasons for there being lots of differing views on the construction of the pipeline is that those people who have been given the job to build it might be for or not for the pipeline will study build it anyway because of there job. Another reason there could be differing views is that it can ruin the water supply and their has been so much violence already that, that could have made people wonder if all this is really worth it sometimes. smiller311 https://padlet.com/smiller311/nygqbb7isrxn/wish/274755483 2018-08-23 02:33:14 UTC https://padlet.com/smiller311/nygqbb7isrxn/wish/274755483 What were the issues that motivated youth groups to take action? Why were these issues important? smiller311 https://padlet.com/smiller311/nygqbb7isrxn/wish/274756976 The issues were that the Indians, who are people and have all the same rights, were getting their scared land destroyed because of this pipeline and even though they protested their voices were not getting really heard especially when the police had came and stopped these protests mostly violently]]> 2018-08-23 02:42:10 UTC https://padlet.com/smiller311/nygqbb7isrxn/wish/274756976 What opportunities and challenges come with using social media as a platform for taking action? Social media gives people the right to express their opinion on if the pipeline should be created or not. That being said a lot of people might get into verbal fights or taking what people say wrong. Social media can either support or demote or both sides of the story as to if this pipeline is even good or not. smiller311 https://padlet.com/smiller311/nygqbb7isrxn/wish/274758706 2018-08-23 02:53:09 UTC https://padlet.com/smiller311/nygqbb7isrxn/wish/274758706 Your Thoughts? Do you think this is a good idea? Why? Why not? smiller311 https://padlet.com/smiller311/nygqbb7isrxn/wish/274759309 My thoughts is that the construction is providing lots of jobs for people and can make more room certain trains to transport crops easier, but that it is not a good idea. This is because people who have their own belief and religion want to keep living their loves how it was and I definitely think that their sacred land should not be destroyed. Also it can ruin their water supply and have more pollution making people sick. Also it costs lots of money just to build it and will cost more in the future if any problems arise.]]> 2018-08-23 02:57:11 UTC https://padlet.com/smiller311/nygqbb7isrxn/wish/274759309
