Hundreds of people at the Oceti Sakowin, or Seven Council Fires, encampment cheered and chanted "mni wichoni" — "water is life" in Lakota Sioux — after the Army Corps of Engineers refused Sunday to grant the company permission to extend the pipeline beneath a Missouri River reservoir.
The Standing Rock Sioux tribe and its supporters argue that extending the project beneath Lake Oahe would threaten the tribe's water source and cultural sites. The segment is the last major sticking point for the four-state, $3.8 billion project.

No they will be leaving. Have you seen the latest? There is a freezing cold blizzard there now.. Those tents won't keep them warm and alive.
Hasn't enough been taken
from the Indians? I think so!
It's all about the money. "They"
could care less if it destroys their
drinking water. I hope the heck
the Indians win out on this one &
hope the News Media will not let
their fight for this die.
We have pipelines all over the country it's safer than sending oil trucks down the highway. Hopefully Trump will get it done to keep fuel prices down.
Putting an oil pipeline under a lake seems like a really dumb idea.
If they had some of that oil they could stay warm when the blizzard hits. Now they'll freeze and want the government to take care of them.
Many cities have transportation tunnels under ground, under rivers, etc. Nothing real bad has really happened...
I don't think ideas to better transportation of fuel is dumb or bad. Technology today is far better than 10/20/30 years ago.
Give them a tractor trailer load of whiskey they will all go home
