@NBCNews Were you @Coyoteinthedesert there during the Dakota access pipeline. Did you stand with us, the standing Rock Sioux? Even Hollywood actors a musicians came to support us. They saw how the United States government treats indigenous. They use the military and law enforcement to bully us. The Dakota Access Pipeline protests, also known as the Standing Rock protests, were a series of demonstrations against the construction of an oil pipeline in North Dakota. The protests began in April 2016 and lasted until February 2017. How it started The protests began when members of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe set up water protector camps near the construction site. The protests gained support from other tribes, celebrities, and environmental advocacy groups. The protests were fueled by the social media hashtag #NoDAPL. What happened The protests included acts of violence, including police using water cannons and rubber bullets on protesters. Security workers used attack dogs on protesters. Actress Shailene Woodley was arrested while protesting and broadcast her arrest on Facebook Live. Why it happened The pipeline would have crossed sacred land and threatened the water supply of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe. The protests were part of a larger movement to protect the environment and oppose fossil fuels.
