The owners of this land are not the ones that are complaining, right? As far as I can tell there is an issue of disruption of a burial ground that the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe has an issue with and the pipeline company has stated they are wiling to work with them on this issue. If these protesters are worried about protecting clean air and water are they wearing 100% plant based/animal based clothing and using non-mined material for everyday life? They certainly are not driving or using oil and gas to heat their houses, Right?
