The state of North Dakota has an official version; one that’s told without officials ever visiting the site they know so much about. Then the state, and the Army Corps of Engineers, have a long history of rolling over tribes in the region.

[audio mp3="https://www.nv1.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/SRWater.mp3"][/audio] Update on actions involving Standing Rock and the protection of water from the Missouri River. What’s next? The idea that a pipeline crossing the river needs a second look is a entry point into a larger question, how important are water resources in the era of climate change?

And most run for office as Democrats. Of the active candidates on my #NativeVote16 boards there are 75 Democrats, 14 Republicans, and 4 independents. If you look at history, there are a lot more American Indians and Alaska Natives who have won office under the Republican banner. That list includes: Sen. Ben Nighthorse Campbell, Northern Cheyenne, who joined the Republican Party after his election; Vice President Charles Curtis; as well as the only current members of Congress, Tom Cole and Markwayne Mullin.
