In North Dakota, thousands of people from Native Nations around North America have gathered near Standing Rock Sioux Reservation to stop the Dakota Access Pipeline. If built, the pipeline would carry Bakken oil across the Missouri River upstream of the reservation. The Camp of the Sacred Stones at Standing Rock began its resistance to the pipeline in April and continues to grow larger each week. The camp is located at the edge of the Missouri and Cannonball rivers near the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation, in Cannonball, North Dakota.
