The Acting Secretary of the Army has told the Corps of Engineers to proceed with gaining easements necessary to complete the Dakota Access Pipeline. The Standing Rock Sioux have challenged the pipeline in court and protestors have clashed with police several times near the construction site, in the southern part of North Dakota.
Dallas Goldtooth, the Keep it in the Ground Campaign Organizer for the Indigenous Environmental Network, says the fight is no where near being over


Goldtooth says it is getting tense in the demonstrators camp


The pipeline has been completed except for the section under Lake Sakakawea in North Dakota. Tribal leaders say they will go back to court to stop the last segment.
