• "Water as a Weapon of War"

I thought Indians lived off the land./s

We've been winning court battles over broken treaties up in New York. Government can't hide this shit as effectively now, the Internet prevents it. I hope some fancy lawyers take up the case. :D

i side 100% with these protesters, but unless the government is blocking them from bringing their own water truck then we can't fault them (unless it is covered under something they are required to do, which was unclear in the article). the government was trucking in water, there was not a pipe that ran dry.

Army and government stealing Indian lands again.. Fucking classic.

One has the ominous sense of grim history about to be reenacted at Standing Rock. North Dakota authorities—who are in essence a subsidiary of the fossil fuel industry—have insisted that the Sioux are violent, that they have “pipe bombs.” There are rumors about calling in the National Guard. The possibility for renewed tragedy is very real.

"The possibility for renewed tragedy is very real." <-- this should not happen. But money and race superiority is a big factor on these outcomes
