The Dakota Access Pipeline will not go ahead at the Standing Rock Indian reservation, it was announced Sunday.
Moments after the decision was announced Cheyenne River Sioux Tribal Council Chairman Harold Frazier told DailyMail.com that he was 'shocked' by the news, which he'd received from Jo-Ellen Darcy, United States Assistant Secretary of the Army.
The camp erupted into cheers as the news spread that the US Army Corps of engineers would not enforce an easement that would have allowed a pipeline to run under Lake Oahe half a mile south of their reservation, potentially affecting the tribe's drinking water and infringing on land rights.

Ok fine. Is there an alternate route?
What is teh chances of Trump ok’ing this? Pretty good I think,
I hope that they stand true to their heritage and ban ALL oil and gas on their reservation. They can live like their ancestors, who were at the mercy of the seasons.
I am so thankful that my Indigenous American ancestors assimilated into American culture.
Until January 21, 2017!
President Trump is gonna be BIZZY! :)
Yesterday my son who is very passionate about this asked me to pray. I just sent him this story and asked whether he had any other prayer requests. :-D
Wanna bet?
We’ll see how has the last word here.

All the Indian pipes will be snuffed out on Jan 20th. Then they can hurry back into their Teepees and get back to twiddlin’ thumbs.
Cool just make a truck bridge
Pipelines are so much safer than trains to haul oil. This was going to be a pipe within a pipe to prevent spills.
I think you may have missed the point of my post. I’m saying that they are stupid hypocrites.
Don’t worry. We’ll do another studygo around this and that... and give them millions IN CASE something happens. That’s the story of the Indians...for all generations.
I think the pipe was going to be many feet under the area.
Two of the biggest mistakes in American history are importing slaves and special status for American Indians.
It has been devastating for both.
Just giving clarity to the thread.
“I think the pipe was going to be many feet under the area.”
92 feet below the surface.
The American Indians never got so far as inventing the wheel. Any sane ones would never want to go back to their ancestral standard of living.
