So the pipeline is being re-routed. Thoughts?
I hope they reroute it through the fucking village now.

Why?

Sorry. I'm edgy as fuck and would cry if my mom's house was bulldozed for a pipeline. I also don't know what it's like without clean water. But that's ok, I just drink soda anyway.

The tribe made a blanket statement against pipelines two years ago, but when this particular pipeline began construction, they couldn't be bothered to voice their concerns at regulatory meetings (which they were invited to do so). So now we get to this point and it's suddenly an existential threat.
I'm not a huge fan of pipelines. But if you're invited to participate in meeting about the pipeline headed to your house, and choose to ignore it until it gets to your doorstep, that's your fucking problem.

Apparently not because it's being rerouted.

To start, the pipeline’s path, which has been set for two years, does not enter the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe’s reservation. The portion being protested is on private property and does not run on previously undisturbed land. It follows a pre-existing energy corridor in which electricity transmission lines and the Northern Border natural gas pipeline already lay.
An ancient burial or other sacred site simply cannot exist in the fill laid down by the modern construction crews that covered those transmission and oil lines.

Got sources to back up those claims?
