MNN. Nov. 2, 2016. President Obama said of the tense situation at Standing Rock, “We’re going to let it play out for several more weeks and then determine whether or not this can be resolved in a way that I think is properly attentive to the traditions of the first Americans”. 
“Playing” with us, the coming severe winter weather, the people who will have to keep warm in the harsh cold, and at the right time send in the construction team to finish the pipeline. Once the ground starts freezing it’s hard to keep digging.
The unist’oten clan of the wetsu’suwet’en nation of far northern Brtitish Columbia on the Maurice River were given the same challenge to give up their homeland. They have been blocking 13 pipelines since 2009.
They stayed. They built where the pipelines were to be placed their permanent homes with wood stoves, solar power, electricity, four or more buildings, including a traditional pit house. They are occupying their land, with a permanent growing community.
Watch “Holding their ground”. Stop the pipeline.

Neil Young has been a troubadour for his whole life. “There’s a battle raging on the sacred land. Our brothers and sisters had to take a stand against them now for what they’re doing on the sacred land. There’s a battle brewing…” [Indian Givers].
Protectors attacked in the river.
Standing Rock I actually fought for the people!
