BISMARCK, N.D. — A protest of a four-state, $3.8 billion oil pipeline turned violent after tribal officials say construction crews destroyed American Indian burial and cultural sites on private land in southern North Dakota.
Morton County Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Donnell Preskey said four private security guards and two guard dogs were injured after several hundred protesters confronted construction crews Saturday afternoon at the site just outside the Standing Rock Sioux reservation. One of the security officers was taken to a Bismarck hospital for undisclosed injuries. The two guard dogs were taken to a Bismarck veterinary clinic, Preskey said.

What? Private security wasn’t armed?
Not to be outdone by the BLM agitators, the ‘natives’ want to cash in on some of Soros’s money to agitate and riot. All is going as planned in Obama’s post racial utopia.
Everything is sacred to these folks. Worse, they cannot tell you what is sacred until you want to do something and then they say it is sacred, unless of course it is to build a casino.
It seemed strange that a company would go onto an Injun reservation and start building a pipeline without government approval and authority...without permits, etc.
And their sacred holy days, when they ‘need’ to access these sites, seem to align perfectly with the White Man’s holidays.

The natives are restless.
This sounds like a plot line from an episode of Longmire.
As I understood it, the local tribe had no interest in the fort because it wasn’t connected with their tribe’s history, but with the history of another tribe.
I thought, that with a small investment of Casino money, they could have revitalized it and turned it into a major tourist attraction.
But they were indifferent.
Their is more to this than what this article claims it to be. I smell a shake down a al Obama/BLM/Ayers/Alyninsky.
“Also, once a pipeline finds even a small arrowhead, all pipeline building has to come to a complete halt and archaeologists are called in to investigate on both private or government owned land.”
And it’s not just for pipelines. ANY sort of construction that MAY run through an area where there MIGHT be an arrowhead needs to have dozens of permits anymore. As an example, the local phone company where I live wanted to run new burried lines to facilitate high speed internet. They put in for permits to bury the new lines right along side their existing lines along the highway easement. It took YEARS to get approval to dig exactly where they had dug before when installing the original phone lines. It was primarily the archeologists that held the operation up for years. This is right along the highway, dug before, bladed by machinery for years, run over by mowers and people pulling onto the shoulder. The phone company lost many customers who didn’t want to wait, and decided to go with other sources of Internet.

Thank goodness that doesn’t apply to private construction in the 4 corners. You can’t put a shovel in the dirt around here without finding some Anasazi something or another. Pulling dirt from a hill behind a new building, uncovered a kiln buried in a small hillside with pottery shards up the wazoo. Left the kiln alone and grabbed dirt off to the side. My grandaughter found pottery walking around for years since she was 3 or 4 on the property to take to school for show and tell. And yes, the hill I was dragging dirt from is on my property too.
I looked it up. The Fort was used against the Tonto Apache until 1890, then turned over to the Yavapai Apaches.
Funny how some cultures are more equal than others.
In Hoopa,CA they were keeping hogs in the houses that were built for them. The whole thing is a circus.
Just drove to Gerlach, Nevada last week to take a trailerload of stuff for our daughter and her friends to Burning Man. You have to “traverse” a Piute Indian Reservation to get there. The only new things the “indians” have are cop cars and they see the 70,000 folks traversing highway 447 from I 80 to Gerlach as “marks.” Drive 26 mph in a 25 mph zone and they cite you. The Burning Man promoters actually have electric signs posted at the I-80 exit telling everyone to “observe the posted speed limits on the reservation.
Their only “town” named Nixon if you can imagine, is otherwise, a $hithole. A blight on the shores of Pyramid Lake which is breathtaking.
Were there any students involved from the Univ. of Southern North Dakota at Hoople?
They are just like the Abo’s in Australia. When the government wants to do something, they ask the Abos where their religious sites are. The Abo response is “tell us where you want to do your thing and we’ll tell you if there is a religious site there”. Needless to say, there is always a “religious site” there.
I have just recently been introduced to Longmire and am absolutely loving watching the past seasons!
“You can’t put a shovel in the dirt around here without finding some Anasazi something or another.”
That’s very similar to here, except rather than Anasazi ruins, it’s Minbres era pottery.
