This article on ABC News is about the tensions between many
Native American tribes in North Dakota and Dakota Access. The Native Americans
want to keep sacred sites for future generations while respecting nature and
being peaceful. They also believe Dakota Access is going to damage the Missouri
river water and their sacred sites. It seemed as though they were a little aggressive
when three hundred Native American protestors against 14 officers tried to stop
the bulldozers from demolishing these sacred sites. The article has a statement
from a witness that believes it was chaotic but misunderstood. The Company
wants to deliver sweet crude oil more cost effectively and environmentally
responsible. Dakota Access has gotten permission from the landowners to put this
pipeline through their private land. This is very important for people to read
as American citizens. It is a tension that has been going on since we first
settled America. It also involves our environment; Our Earth is very precious,
since we only have one. Lastly it emphasizes communication and that is an important
tool in any conflict or government situation.
