Panel discussion hosted by Willie Jackson with Kingi Snelgar (Human Rights lawyer) regarding the impending eviction of the Standing Rock protesters resisting the construction of an oil pipeline through sacred ancestral Sioux grounds and burial sites. – The police officers lack jurisdiction within that State, so lack the authority to carry out the eviction order. The Standing Rock protest represents one of the largest gatherings of indigenous peoples and nations. Was Snelgars’ visit a spiritual event? Does President Obama have the power and the will to stop this breach of indigenous rights? What sort of consultation has been undertaken with Sioux? The pipeline company deny the site is a burial ground which is refuted by archaeologists. Indian and first peoples leadership have asked President Obama to stop the pipeline to preserve his legacy.
