to a plant in Illinois. As you know, the Sioux are protesting the building of the pipeline, citing that it desecrates hallowed burial grounds and that it violates the sacred waters of the Missouri River. 140 protesters have been arrested and some have been hit with rubber bullets, beanbags and pepper spray. The route of the pipeline was rerouted from Bismarck, the capitol of North Dakota, closer to the Sioux nation. I have been trying to learn all that I can and to back up information with facts. A digression for a moment. I live by both an elementary and middle school. For several summers, including the 2016 season, construction has taken place at the schools. Heavy trucks thundered by, the engines roared the "beep, beep, beep" of heavy equipment sounded from early morning til late afternoon. And this summer, the paths were turn up, heavy machinery raced by, the grass was dug up and became mud, the beautiful serene fields became an unsightly quagmire. The construction lasted from March until October. My sense of peace went out the window. So, then I empathize with the Sioux nation and I want the People to be treated justly. Bernie Sanders wrote an open letter to President Obama asking for his intervention. The two presidential hopefuls have turned their back to the cries of the Sioux.

Sioux Dakota Pipeline facebook
I have been studying the North Dakota Access Pipeline situation--the 1300 long pipeline that will take oil from the Bekker oilfields near Canada
to a plant in Illinois. As you know, the Sioux are protesting the building of the pipeline, citing that it desecrates hallowed burial grounds and that it violates the sacred waters of the Missouri River. 140 protesters have been arrested and some have been hit with rubber bullets, beanbags and pepper spray. The route of the pipeline was rerouted from Bismarck, the capitol of North Dakota, closer to the Sioux nation. I have been trying to learn all that I can and to back up information with facts.
