Rosebud Sioux Tribe: House Vote On Keystone XL Pipeline An ‘Act Of War'

[g5000]

It's their turf, if they don't want it to go through then it has to go around

the rest of the blithering nonsense? well

The pipeline does not go through "their turf". Their claim is bogus.

Shouldn't they be focusing on the name Redskins?

They are multitasking

Maybe now these mofo's can either become Americans or leave this country entirely. The whole idea of these reservations is insane

We were the first Americans, you idiot. We discovered America and were here when Columbus 'discovered' America.

Actually white men from the area known as France migrated here first and kicked your grand pappy' s ass for squatting on his land.

The president of South Dakota’s Rosebud Sioux (Sicangu Lakota Oyate) tribe has called the House of Representatives' vote to force approval of the Keystone XL pipelinean “act of war,” the Summit County Citizen's Voice reported on Saturday.

"The House has now signed our death warrants and the death warrants of our children and grandchildren. The Rosebud Sioux Tribe will not allow this pipeline through our lands,” President Cyril Scott said in a statement. “We will close our reservation borders to Keystone XL.”

Scott said he and other tribal elders have not been appropriately consulted on the pipeline, which would run through the tribe's land. He also contended the House vote violates the 1851 and 1868 Fort Laramie treaties, which gave the Black Hills to the Sioux Nation, according to the Summit County Citizen's Voice.

"The Lakota people have always been stewards of this land,” said Scott. “We feel it is imperative that we provide safe and responsible alternative energy resources not only to tribal members but to non-tribal members as well. We need to stop focusing and investing in risky fossil fuel projects like TransCanada’s Keystone XL pipeline. We need to start remembering that the earth is our mother and stop polluting her and start taking steps to preserve the land, water, and our grandchildren’s future."

The Rosebud tribe and other members of the Great Sioux Nation have adopted tribal resolutions opposing the Keystone XL project in February, according to the Grand Island Independent.

Do these Native Americans have rights - or not? It's their land - what's left of it.

How many divisions do they have?

 

[SwimExpert]

The land the Keystone XL pipeline will cross through is no longer considered Sioux land. Some Sioux dispute this, while others do not.

So this is much like Mexicans trying to claim that Texas and Arizona still belong to them.

If the construction of grand casinos on Indian property and the social impact of degenerate gambling doesn't bother our Indian brothers and they stand to make a ton of money off the pipeline, what's the problem?

 

[Pop23]

Go to war.

End this idiocy.

 

[DigitalDrifter]

I think they should rename it "The Redskin Peace Pipeline".

Oh good, we'll finally be able to avenge Custer and the 7th Calvary modern warfare style againt these red injun savage boozers.

 

[BlackSand]

Go to war.

End this idiocy.

I am with that ... Let them go to war.
Maybe they will give us coverage of the war on the nightly news.

Offer the leadership enough cash (no checks) and all objections will magically vanish. Hey, redskin or not, they ARE politicians.

[NoTeaPartyPleez]

I thought Native Americans believed that one could not own the land?

Would you like to post a link to that or just keep blowing out your azz?

One of the very first treaties broken with the Native Americans was when the European whites who invaded this country promised them not to settle in Cain-tuck-ee.
Of course the white guys did what they always do: agree, sign and then violate and fuck everybody over. Nowadays this area is known as Kentucky.

You're on your own to learn the rest.

Civilization to Native Americans is different than civilization is to whites.

Bless the great Sioux people.

never be removed, we have been moved five times.
I think you had better put the Indians on wheels and you can run

Sounds like the MinC will need another unprecedented coalition to deal with Tonto and the Redskins.

If they run it behind the casinos nobody will notice it,problem solved.

Yep. Then he and those who followed nearly wiped your people off the face of the planet. Possession is 99% of the law and now you only have a fraction of "your" land which is more than you should have.
