DAPL notes
As reported by Rose Aguilar, what gets lost in the chatter of vacuous talking heads--both for and against the Dakota Access Pipe Line (DAPL)--is the fact that the route was altered to avoid crossing the Missouri River upstream of the (white) capitol Bismarck, with the new route crossing at the doorstep of the Standing Rock Indian Reservation. Cited in the documents used to argue for the rerouting was concern for Bismarck's water system, a threat that has now been dumped on the Sioux.
