— from Spirit Eagle —
Orcas Islanders, please help the Lakota People at Standing Rock Reservation in South Dakota in their Stand against the Bakken Crude Oil Pipeline going 100 miles through the Standing Rock Reservation (Lakota Reservation) in South |Dakota.
Last week on Tuesday the Army Corps of Engineers gave the OK for the Pipeline ignoring the fact that the People’s Drinking Water and Sacred Places would be destroyed.
On Saturday, over the Labor Day Weekend, the Pipeline people went ahead and unearthed burial grounds and set dogs on those who tried to stop them. Native remains are protected under the American Indian Religious Freedom Act. I can only surmise that enough money passed hands to overlook that item. Word from Standing Rock is that the Grandmothers are trying to calm down the Warriors.
