Indigenous tribes across the nation continue to resist the now nearly completed Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) project, despite a U.S. federal judge denying the Cheyenne River Sioux tribe\u2019s request for emergency injunction on March 14.<\/p>\n
Judge James Boasberg of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia wrote, \u201cThe court acknowledges that the tribe is likely to suffer irreparable harm to its members\u2019 religious exercise if oil is introduced into the pipeline, but Dakota Access would also be substantially harmed by an injunction, given the financial and logistical injuries that would ensue.\u201d<\/p>\n
Following an executive order President Donald Trump issued during his first month in office, the path has been cleared for the $3.8 billion pipeline, which stretches from the Dakotas to Illinois.<\/p>\n
More than 1,000 demonstrators gathered in San Francisco on March 10 in support of the Native Nations March on Washington, where thousands of demonstrators and indigenous tribes marched outside the White House to demand that the president meet with tribal leaders.<\/p>\n
Dressed in indigenous attire, demonstrators marched from the Federal Building to City Hall waving signs and chanting \u201cWater is life.\u201d Outside City Hall a projection of #NODAPL displayed on the front of the building.<\/p>\n
Many of the demonstrators, who call themselves \u201cwater protectors,\u201d had returned from Standing Rock in North Dakota.<\/p>\n
Lakota tribal member Galeson Eagle Star, who stayed at the largest camp at Standing Rock, Oceti Sakowin, returned to the Bay Area in January after months of being on the front lines until the government closed the camp on Feb. 22.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve experienced a great deal of resistance and terrorism,\u201d Eagle Star said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe fight is not over,\u201d Native American activist Kris Longoria said. \u201cWe must continue to resist we must continue to bring Native issues.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
