[QUOTE="deerwhacker444, post: 2930442, member: 9117"] I've read from lots of folks on another hunting forum who actually live in the area, this is what's been reported to me. They report that the oil companies had over 500 meetings with the tribes setting this deal up. At the last minute, the tribes rejected the 10+ million easement payment and demanded something in the 30-50 million dollar range. The oil companies had already laid the groundwork and this extortion was too expensive for the project. So the oil companies changed the route of the proposed pipeline to go around tribal lands, on federal and private lands. At that point, the tribes figured out they screwed up and the protests suddenly became about the environmental impacts. Those impacts didn't seem to matter much when the tribes were going to get their monies.. Believe who you will, but there's a reason the majority of the protestors are out of staters not even from the area. [/QUOTE]
