Also the land in question has been evaluated by archaeologists on behalf of the government, the pipeline company, and most importantly, the tribe. There is zero evidence that the land in question is in any way sacred/burial land. <span class="" id=":tu.1" tabindex="-1">DAPL</span> co. has agreed to pay to have archaeological experts on hand during construction in the highly unlikely event some here to fore undiscovered evidence should come to light. And finally the new pipeline is following the same track (at a much deeper, safer depth) as the "northern border pipeline" constructed in 1982. No protests regarding the sanctity of the land was raised at that time. Did the land become more sacred since then, the oral tradition stronger thirty five years later?<div><br></div><div>g<br><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Jan 25, 2017 at 5:52 PM, Debi Smith <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:Debismith@moscow.com" target="_blank">Debismith@moscow.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

answer to the “real question” is simple. My major areas of
study both as an under grad and grad student was the
American West. I certainly do not claim that I am expert in
the field but I have some familiarity with the subject. It
is, sadly, a fact that almost without exception (I am
inclined to say it is always the rule) every single instant
of the diminishment of tribal lands was due to broken
treaties and settler encroachment. Because the closest
example and the easiest access to that perfidious behavior
can be found literally in our own backyard I linked to the
Nez Perce site. As to the tribal record you shared, I can
make no comment as I am not familiar with the Nations or
council involved. And, even if I were, trust me, the last
thing Native people need or want is white people explaining
the meaning behind their statements. I prefer to keep my
trap shut while watching the videos and still photos of
those heroic people who are enduring blizzards in sub
freezing weather to honor their ancestors and their
connection to sacred ground. Actions are so much more
powerful that words, aren’t they?<u></u><u></u></span></p>

the pipelines which, (please mark my words) are ecological

so much for posting this Tom. The tragic,
indeed horrendous, history of the U.S.

ethically European settlers) stealing land
and ignoring treaties is shameful. Everyone
of us lives on stolen land. (Please spare me
the excuse that what great, great grandpa

failure to acknowledge that the genocide of
indigenous people is an under told and
accurate history of the U.S. and is central
to understanding that the bedrock U.S.
philosophy was and remains might makes
right.)</span> <u></u><u></u></p>
