Description: 

Native and environmental groups alike have been protesting the construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline, a 1,168-mile conduit that would carry fracked oil from North Dakota all the way to Illinois, for two years. They argue that the Missouri River, which the pipeline would cross under, is too precious a water source to risk contamination from an oil spill or leak.
