2016-09-15 12:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Hill: The fight by the Standing Rock Sioux to halt the Dakota Access Pipeline has emerged as one of the defining climate justice fights in the United States. It has also become a central focal point of the ongoing worldwide struggle by indigenous peoples to have their treaty and land rights respected by other governments and corporations. (The fact that corporations operate as de facto government is a galling example of the need for the Green Party). Representatives of more than 280 Native American...

One woman on the sidewalk put down her sign to film her young daughter with her phone. I want to have water! the girl yelled, quickly followed with my ears hurt, after a car drove by honking wildly. At 4:21 p.m. Tuesday around 65 people lined the west side of the bridge, with signs, while one man beat a drum. At 4:43...

Huffington Post: For the last few weeks many of the finest organizers in North America have been gathering in a remote camp near the Standing Rock Sioux reservation along the Missouri River.

Grist: The Standing Rock Sioux Tribe lost its big case against the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, which was one of its last chances to stop construction of the Dakota Access pipeline. But the Department of Justice, Department of the Army, and Department of the Interior immediately stepped in after the federal judges decision. For the time being, construction of the pipeline on Army Corps land bordering or under Lake Oahe will not go forward at this time. While the Army moves expeditiously to make...
