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

[Lakhota]

The Rosebud Sioux Tribe, along with several other South Dakota Tribes, stand together in opposition to risky and dangerous fossil fuel projects like TransCanada’s Keystone XL. The proposed route of TransCanada’s Keystone XL pipeline crosses directly through Great Sioux Nation (Oceti Sakowin) Treaty lands as defined by both the 1851 and 1868 Fort Laramie Treaties and within the current exterior boundaries of the Rosebud Sioux Reservation and Cheyenne River Sioux Reservation.

If the proposed route didn't cross Sioux lands - why would they be so concerned?

They are anti-corporation, global warming alarmists using their Indian chic for media attention. And they are using the situation to their advantage to bring up some old beefs they have over lost lands.

That's it.

Lands the Sioux LOST after those treaties because they didn't have enough firepower to make the treaty stick. Gotta love it when you can fool a bunch of children with the same trick multiple times. Those treaties were about as enforceable as a modern restraining order.

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.

The US government is also saying fuck you to more than a few ranchers and farmers by expropriating their property with eminent domain laws. They gotta put a pipeline somewhere. Another victory for freedom and liberty....Americans should be very proud.

 

[Mr. President]

Lets go to war. Then we don't have to give any land back to them.

Yeah, go ahead. It worked out great for the last time you tried that.

To my understanding the United States Government can not build the pipeline through the Native Lands unless the Tribe gives them permission. So I do not know where this will go but in the end the pipeline will have to be diverted around the Native Lands or the Government will be paying a massive amount of money to settle with the Tribe.

It doesn't go thru the rez.

 

[Dot Com]

If it is slated to go anywhere near the rez, I'd picket it!!! Remember those corps do horizontal drilling so that they don't even have to be on your land to despoil it. Pipelines have similar concerns

Hmmm, drilling a hole hundreds or thousands of feet UNDER the ground despoils it? How can you even tell?

 

[Lakhota]

The South Dakota aquifers are also a major concern for the Sioux people. Google it...

That's fine, but what does sideways drilling have to do with the pipeline?

The Ogallala Aquifer. Why now worry about the Keystone? Could it be that this is just one huge political stunt?

This is a map of the existing pipelines across the Ogallala.

Leaks have much to do with the aquifers. I never mentioned anything about drilling.

If they were drinking water instead of Budweiser, that might be a problem
