Lakota Matt Remle: When Standing Rock's Burials were Bulldozed, They Went After the Banks

"They didn't have a permit -- and they still don't have a permit to be operating, that's why we shifted focus to the financial institutions, and launched a very targeted campaign." -- Matt Remle, Hunkpapa Lakota

SEATTLE -- Speaking at the Salish Sea Assembly, Matt Remle, Hunkpapa Lakota from Standing Rock, describes how the Dakota Access Pipeline used Standing Rock's map of burial places against them, and brought in attack dogs as the pipeline bulldozed their sacred burial place.

Remle, whose Lakota name is Wakíƞyaƞ Waánataƞ (Charging Thunder,) said it was then that they made the decision to target the banks and financial institutions that funded this pipeline, the Dakota Access Pipeline.
