Tell you what, I'll settle for any affirmative argument at all why the protesters should be allowed to obstruct the pipeline.

So idk how much Tribal news you read, from what I've seen in the various bands' media outlets the issue is very much conflated between sovreignty, environmentalism, and anti-establishmentarianism. I can go grab a few publications tomorrow and re-post their articles her --- in my experience, tribes' various publications are not the most tech savvy operations. At most, you'll find a .pdf scan of the monthly all-enrolled mailer on a website for the band.

I think the tribes of this region have great potential, however they choose to engage in racial politics over institutional development which hinders achievement of desired outcomes. I fail to see how the tribes of the upper midwest will escape the concentration of poverty so long as family and kin bonds are the predominant unit of social organization.

So this pretty much confirms that the radical American Indian Movement is going to come back right? Because that, and cutting aid and ignoring them in every other way is pretty much historically proven to always result in Native people resisting the government in hardcore ways.

In the eyes of the legislative majorities of Minnesota, North Dakota, and South Dakota, the radical American Indian movements have always been there, just waiting to take advantage of government.
