We the people ask the federal government to Tell us what the federal government is doing about an issue:

North Dakota federal court prohibits indigenous tribes from protesting the Bakken pipeline on their own reservations.

Created by M.A. on August 22, 2016

This reaction originates from the non-violent protest by the Sanding Rock, Rose Bud and lower Brule Sioux. Dave Archambault II, chairman of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe said, “as we have said from the beginning, demonstrations regarding Dakota Access must be peaceful.”
This violates United Nations Declaration on the Rights of
Indigenous Peoples as well as the Indian Civil Rights Act (ICRA) in 1968.
The environmental destruction the Bakken pipeline process used by Dakota Access is Hydraulic fracturing from North Dakota’s oil-rich Bakken Formation; “Fracking” has many environmental hazards that outweigh the economic benefits.
