PROTECTING HOLY LAND
A few thousand Sioux Indians were standing there (together with members of mostly all of the larger tribes from the US) protesting peacefully against the construction of the North Dakota Access Pipeline through their land. Why?
Standing Rock is a natural reservation protected by law, a natural source of water and holy ground for the Sioux, at risk of being severely contaminated, for the sake of big oil companies and Texan Energy Transfer Partners with a 38% interest in DAPL. The Sioux were facing an overwhelming police force who tried to entrap the peaceful ‘Water protectors’ by using teargas, water cannons and rubber bullets, to provoke them to aggression which would be a reason to arrest them.
Director Robert Bridgeman: ‘I had to go there – I had to do something.’
