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

true. The fine print will bury them the moment a leak occurs which always does. First Nations native Americans better be careful tinydancer :eusa_naughty:

The first Keystone tar sands pipeline spills again - providing twelve reasons not to fast-track the Keystone XL tar sands pipeline Anthony Swift s Blog Switchboard from NRDC
The first Keystone tar sands pipeline, constructed less than a year ago, has sprung its twelfth leak, spilling up to 2,100 gallons of raw tar sands crude oil in Kansas on May 29th when a pipeline fitting around a pressure transmitter failed. This comes just three weeks after a broken pipe fitting on Keystone resulted in a 60’ geyser of tar sands crude, spewing 21,000 gallons in North Dakota.

You have accidents whether it involves rail, truck or pipeline. The oil is coming no matter what.

Pick your poison. The one train wreck in Minnesota unloaded 30,000 gallons last year.

And as far as the Ogallala is concerned Trans Canada is late to the party.You've had a lot of other pipelines cross the aquifer many years ahead of Keystone XL.

It is our country too, and was before white assholes like you came here.

It may have been your property at one time, but we did a much better job of making your people bleed for it than you did of making us bleed for it. Hell, if you could go back in time and tell the Northeastern tribes to follow the same policy as the mid-atlantic tribes did with Roanoake, maybe you'd have had a shot of keeping your property to some degree with TWO decimated English settlements to use as examples. No, instead they taught the Pilgrims how to survive, and now your people are forced to live in shithole reservations.

The law says different. You will remember the next time something is stolen from you.

Law/Power emenates from the muzzle of a gun, which is exactly what anyone trying to steal from me is going to see.
Like you can always be watching all of your property. Good luck with that.
 
Unfortunately, Keystone will have to go around their lands. Constitutional law and Case Law establishes this would indeed be an act of war, and I'm for the Keystone pipeline.

Keystone doesn't cross the rez.

What gives them standing in court then? They should just throw the case out.
It does cross an area of the reservation that is broken up into segmented allotments and parcels called trust lands. I believe their is a map that shows them at Wikipedia. Most maps just show the main body of the Rosebud Reservation and leave out the trust lands because they are a series of hundreds if not thousands of individual various size parcels.
 
The timing is most interesting. XL has been in the works for how many years now?

And all of a sudden out of the blue Rosebud is claiming the Keystone is going thru their lands?

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight. Trans Canada would have negotiated or re routed.

This stinks. Wonder who's backing them. Maybe someone like Steyer?
 
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.


Their holding out for money in return. I have no problem with that. If its their land let them get paid for it having a pipeline, continuous oil, continuous cash flow to the tribe
 
Can the pipeline build it on private property if the property owner objects? I think all of this oil should be used in the US and the oil company who controls the oil should have no option other than to sell it to the US. If one drop of oil is shipped out of the US to make a higher profit then what is the point? A few temporary jobs?

Yes, President Scott wants to preserve casino lands for gamblers.

I don't think the map shows the small portion of the Rosebud that is next to Pine Ridge

Okay. Here's a map that does.

, but I also think the pipeline is posed to "miss" the Reservation.

Yes, if you check the pdf map I provided a few posts ago, the pipeline will miss both reservations. But the Indians said all the right buzz words about the environment and global warming, and so the rubes did not check their claims.


plus they claimed a bunch of land not currently reservation
 
Republicans passed the Indian Citizenship Act and Calvin Coolidge was made an honorary member of the Lakota tribe.

Just something that I know our little Lakota liberal did not know.

Unappreciative bitch.

Oh, and another thing. We are a territorial species. That is right. Even the peaceful peyote eating natives had wars with each other over land LONG BEFORE evil white men came here with guns, bibles and a new word for natives, wheel.

Oh never mind. The moronic left wing pieces of unreal shit would have us believe survival of the fittest only refers to animals. They would have us believe that ALL WARS among natives for land were all righteous. Why? Cause they were not fought with guns, and bible verses were not quoted.

Yes, the notion of the survival of the fittest only applies to species that are not Homo sapiens. Yes, liberals are that fucking stupid. Especially this simple minded Lakota bitch.
 
Like you can always be watching all of your property. Good luck with that.

Actually there are maybe a dozen hours a week where both my wife and I are not at home at the same time. We live in a condo so keeping everything covered is pretty easy. The security system and cameras help as well as the dog.
