This is such good news.. despite the mess of this country currently, people are learning to use their voice and stand up for their rights.. i was worried that this would turn out to be another situation where indigenous communities were silenced and shut down by the government.. hopefully this gives Native Americans some hope that their voices will be heard and that they do have a place in modern American society.. they are so vital to this nation and and deserve to be heard and equal

Lana used to go out west to help build homes on Native American reservations.. so do some research before you talk sh*t

Right!!  You obviously missed this, so I'll put the whole thing up just for you.
Dear President Obama, Army Corps of Engineers, and Department of Justice,
We are writing to express our shock at the treatment of the people of Standing Rock Sioux in North Dakota. We are deeply disturbed by the police actions that have been taking place, where non violent protests have been and continue to be met with extremely aggressive tactics including; being shot with water canons in below freezing temperatures, chemical weapons, rubber bullets, and attack dogs. These are the same inhumane methods used during WWII and the Civil Rights Movement.
We feel strongly in the current political climate that those in power must be held accountable for their actions. We stand behind and urge you to take action regarding the following requests made in the coalition statement released on November 27th, 2016:
"WE CALL ON THE WHITE HOUSE TO DENY THE EASEMENT NOW, REVOKE THE PERMITS, REMOVE THE DAPL CONSTRUCTION WORKERS, AND ORDER A FULL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT IN FORMAL CONSULTATION WITH IMPACTED TRIBAL GOVERNMENTS. PUT AN END TO THE VIOLENCE."
We encourage you to remember that this planet provides for us, not the other way around. Water is life and this cannot be underestimated or taken for granted in 2016.
We are aware of the long and painful history between the US and its indigenous people. Know that the world's eyes and the eyes of the music community are on you now as you continue to disregard the treaties you have with the Native American people and act barbarically towards them.
Standing Rock we stand with you.
Yours Sincerely,

This is temporary you guys. They are most likely waiting for this all to blow over, the protesters to leave, and the media to be distracted by the upcoming inauguration before they begin work on it again. Remember the pipes are still there, and don't be so quick to believe that a corporation is gonna go down without a fight.

True, no one on ATRL was saying much about Standing Rock while Hillary was running for President either.
I'm wondering how long before the Dakota Pipeline people are lobbying Trump to get started again.

What a powerful list. T4P!
I wasn't aware which is why I said "the only musician I know".
She wrote a whole post about it.

So was this re-routed or not? I'm hearing that the corporation is choosing to ignore the permit denial.
