In North Dakota, another eight people were arrested Wednesday after people locked themselves to heavy machinery to stop construction of the $3.8 billion Dakota Access pipeline, which has faced months of resistance from the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe and members of hundreds of other tribes from across the United States, Canada and Latin America. Wednesday’s action took place near Almont, North Dakota, about 80 miles away from the main protest camps along the Cannonball River. This comes only one day after more than 20 people were arrested on Tuesday also stopping pipeline construction around the same area. Dallas Goldtooth of the Indigenous Environmental Network said Tuesday’s and Wednesday’s actions reflect that “Our opposition is not just to the river crossing, but to the very premise of this pipeline.” The Morton County Sheriff’s Department says it is pursuing felony reckless endangerment charges related to Wednesday’s protest, which carries a maximum penalty of five years in prison.
