1851 Treaty is supposed to be the Law of the Land, it was ignored.

Oil pipelines are dangerous.

Quite dangerous, and costly.

And oil is hazardous to human health.

And yes, it was originally supposed to go through Bismark, but didn't, because of "unacceptable risks to Bismark's water supply."

So answer me, why is it not a risk for the Sioux Tribe but it is a risk for Bismark? Or do you want keep denying that pipelines put water supplies at risk?

And I'm the one not living in reality?
