Standing Rock and the Battle Beyond | Fault Lines

For months, Native Americans have been protesting against the Dakota Access oil pipeline, a multibillion-dollar construction project that tribal leaders say is threatening sacred sites as well as the tribe's source of drinking water. Protests against the project have been growing since April. Since then, thousands of people, including tribes across the US, have joined historic demonstrations in support of the Sioux. In December, the Obama administration handed them a victory, denying a final permit the company needed and saying different routes for the pipeline would be sought. But the election of Donald Trump has cast doubt on that decision, and the company in charge of constructing the Dakota Access Pipeline says it isn't backing down. Fault Lines examines the case against the pipeline, connecting it to other fights being waged by US tribes that have helped build the growing movement at Standing Rock.
