The government has halted the Dakota pipeline project to look at alternatives. People have been camping on land near but not on the pathway of the pipe line. The group said their focus is not to stand in the way but raise awareness that if this pipeline is ran under the river it could pollute the water that 18 million people drink out of if it busts. I agree with the people on that point but the governments already spent the money. It would be ridiculous to have spent all of that money on nothing. someone should've thought about the pros and cons before the money was spent.
