Navajo on The Daily Kos has another excellent update on the pipeline activities / desecration of Indian sacred lands in North Dakota:
Last night on October 22, 2016, Dallas Goldtooth reported, via Facebook Live about the 83 arrests that happened yesterday near the Standing Rock Sioux reservation where American Indian Nations are resisting the construction of a four-state oil pipeline being constructed under the Missouri River, the water source for 17 million people. My detailed news timeline on Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) v. The Water Protectors can be read here if you need it. …
Various people on the ground reported night-before-last on Facebook that:
- Four semi-trucks worth of pipe were being delivered to the burial sites that were desecrated on Labor Day.
- Photos show them parked ON the desecrated grave sites with trucks. Cranes, pipes, and equipment are being delivered.
- Helicopters are overhead. [The ‘copters are constant, keeping the camps awake at night.]
- At least one new blockade is set up, facilitated by the national guard, north of camp, on highway 1806, just south of Fort Rice.
- Bi-plane is now circling.
These are all shots over the bow to incite our people to gather and force us to protect our ancestral burial sites.
