The oil companies couldn't care less about Native Americans or our sacred burial grounds. All they see is $$$, and screw everything else!

This about transporting oil in a pipeline that's NOT on the res.


But the train hauling it goes through a part of the res.

My parents are alive.

The pipeline is not on the res.
