The Standing Rock Sioux Tribe has received an outpouring of support from other Tribes, First Nations, Organizations, Cities, and Businesses who have visited and sent them signed resolutions and letters of support of their efforts against the Energy Transfer Partners’ Dakota Access Pipeline. Mainstream artist, Pharrell Williams, Divergent star Shailene Woodley, Actors Robert RedfordJason Momoa and Leonardo DiCaprio have also expressed their support.

Construction on The Dakota Access Pipeline is still underway. The planned $3.7 billon pipeline would transport approximately 470,000 barrels of crude oil per day, from the Bakken oil field in North Dakota to a refinery near Chicago. The Standing Rock Sioux Tribe doesn’t want the Dakota Access Pipeline to go on their tribal lands or beneath the Missouri river, fearing it will endanger the reservation’s drinking water and ancient burial sites.

The Cannonball river flows into the mighty Missouri about 50 miles south of Bismarck, North Dakota. There, a series of camps, on both sides of the Cannonball have been established to help guide the non violent resistance of the Dakota Access Pipeline. This gathering has become the site of a historic display of unity and solidarity as thousands continue to peacefully protest the construction of this oil pipeline to protect the water.  Many at the encampment speak of the prophecy;  of  the of the zuzeca  or  black snake –  would threaten all life. Many believe, the pipeline is that black snake.
