The “burial ground” excuse is lame, too. There has been no evidence of multiple burials at one site anywhere near the pipeline route.
While the population density of the pre-Columbian peoples west of the Mississippi was never great, given enough time, and the short life span of Stone Age humans, there’s bound to be remains found along a route the length of that pipeline, particularly near a water source.

Exactly! I’m guessing that any so called “burial grounds” since not long after the beginning of the reservation, are likely to be well marked cemeteries. But the whole dang “protest” is based upon lies anyway. Why else would they have to bus in college students, fully brainwashed in leftist propaganda, to help with the protests.
“Burial”
“In pre-reservation times bodies of deceased Lakota were dressed in their best clothes, wrapped in hides or a blanket and placed on a scaffold. The scaffold might be in a tree or, out on the plains, constructed of lodge poles. Special possessions of the deceased, such as a pipe or weapon, were also wrapped and placed on the scaffold with him. While the scaffold prevented animals from reaching the body, it was allowed to decay naturally. In exceptional situations, the body of a warrior killed in battle might be placed sitting against a rock or tree facing the enemy.”
