Standing Rock speech to DAPL company

In mid-November 2016, Energy Transfer Partners (the company behind the Dakota Access Pipeline) CEO Kelcy Warren told reporters “I really wish, for the Standing Rock Sioux, that they had engaged in discussions way before they did. I don’t think we would have been having this discussion if they did. We could have changed the route. It could have been done, but it’s too late.” Turns out that Kelcy is lying. The Tribe did engage in discussions, more than TWO YEARS AGO. In Sept. 2014, Energy Transfer Partners came to speak to the tribe. Tribal members told them in no uncertain terms not to build the pipeline near their reservation. At the end of the meeting. tribal elder Phyllis Young delivered a speech about the injustice of the past and present and the fight for justice that will be waged against the pipeline in the future. That was two years ago and the fight for justice is now. Listen to this speech. Be inspired.
