Near the very end of the article: "Morton County Sheriff Kyle Kirchmeier said in a statement that "individuals crossed onto private property and accosted private security officers with wooden posts and flag poles."

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.

I had some sympathy for the Injuns until it turned out that the land was private...and wasn't theirs.

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.

The natives are restless.

This sounds like a plot line from an episode of Longmire.

Pipelines just don't get built overnight WITHOUT environmental studies, tons of regulatory requirements, etc. I smell BS on the side of the Sioux. It takes years for an oil company to get permission to build a pipeline. The Sioux had years to file complaints with FERC about this pipeline. 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. On private farm land, the soil has to be dug up and put back so that the top soil is not destroyed.

Their is more to this than what this article claims it to be. I smell a shake down a al Obama/BLM/Ayers/Alyninsky.

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?

The Pawnee and the Sioux hate each other. They are both there protesting, as are many other tribes. It’s probably been over hundred years since any Pawnee have went that far into ‘enemy’ land. Makes the shia/sunni conflict look civil.
