Live from one of Many Active and Illegal #noKXL construction sites. We are 3-4 miles west of "Maurine, South Dakota." Where protectors have come to shut down construction.
TransCanada was court-ordered to STOP construction on the Keystone XL (KXL) Crude Oil Pipeline but they are actively constructing man camps and pipe yards during the pandemic. They are still lacking key permits to complete the pipeline and they are violating the 1851/1868 Ft Laramie Treaty signed with the Great Sioux/Oceti Sakowin/Tetonwan/Lakota Nation. The Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe has filed many Objections/Resolutions stating they do NOT want this toxic pipeline crossing through their Sacred Homelands and threatening their water sources but it seems they won't take no for an answer and are pushing it through anyway..
CALLOUT to the HARRIS/BIDEN Campaign to keep their word on shutting KXL Down! Better hurry up!
ALL EYES ON KXL
Shut it Down!

French translation by Christine Prat

We live in an unconscious society. The dead are memorialized and buried, mothers and fathers, Grandmothers and Grandfathers, and children. It is unconscionable to dig up a person from their grave for a man-made water waterway, a golf course, a building and border technology or any other so-called progressive economic or other similar developments for human entertainment, human advancement, and the continuous neurotic so-called human evolution.

In the world of the first people, the indigenous people, the O'odham people (The People) a buried person is undisturbed and many burial places are unmarked. It was only at the onset of assimilation and indoctrination into foreign religions that the burial places now have crosses and markings and are confined into a designated location.
