Abstract:
The authors analyze struggle of Americans against Dakota Access pipeline in 2014-2017. The confrontation with large corporations connected with the US government resulted in an alliance that included several American Indian tribes, environmentalists and veterans. During their litigation with the US Army Corps of Engineers that builds the pipeline, American Indians referred to the treaties between the US government and sovereign tribes. The treaties gave the lands in question to Sioux tribes. The court mentioned importance of the treaties in its decision, but passed its verdict on the premise that those lands are private property. Apart from the litigation, American Indians set up a permanent camp to protest against the pipeline. Lawful peaceful protests were brutally suppressed. The movement that started as Standing Rock Sioux struggle against one site turned into a long-term protest that involved thousands of people from different social groups and had global repercussions.
