[QUOTE="Larry Morgan, post: 2931416, member: 4676"] I did a bit of digging on it myself. There are plenty of court documents and documentation by the Army Corp of Engineers that they did their due diligence to try to ensure everything was done in the best cooperation possible. But if you go by those, it would appear the Tribes-people were the ones who were uncooperative. Until being uncooperative meant the project went ahead anyway, then all Hell broke loose. And it is also documented that the water inlet they are "concerned" about will be closed within the year to take water from a new location to feed a water treatment plant subsidized by Gov't (Tax Dollars) that has been in work since 2009. And the filings were for the company to use the easement of a previous pipeline to build the new one. And all the documents showing they have already re-routed it on their own volition many MANY times to try to be as considerate as possible. So yes, there is MUCH more to it than "THE MAN" oppressing another group of innocent who were given no choice but to submit. Even though that's what the news would have you believe, because, well, reality doesn't sell as well. [/QUOTE]
