Contact to protest the DAPL construction through sioux land

Some of the land was legally sold but it seems that some of the tribe leaders believe they still have a say in what happens there because of the property's history.

It wasn't sold by tribe leaders. And they do have a say since its their land.

It was sold by the person who legally owned the land according to the article correct?

The land is theirs and taken from them illegally. The US government is kinda known for ignoring treaties they've made with indigenous tribes when it wants to.

I'm still reading more about it. But I tend to stand with the Indians / Native Americans on this stuff when I hear about companies building large and potentially prone to disaster pipes through undisturbed areas. And this one is underground as well. Which I really think should be a no. As we should be moving away from stuff like that. All it takes is one leak into the land. We already know how responsible many of these oil companies are.
