The Center for Constitutional Rights stands in solidarity with the indigenous water protectors of the Oceti Sakowin (Great Sioux Nation) and the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe as they and their allies continue to stand up to private and government forces supporting the illegal construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline. The construction of the pipeline would violate federal laws, such as the National Environmental Policy Act and breaches the terms of the 1851 and 1868 Ft. Laramie Treaties between the Oceti Sakowin and the United States, and it continues the violent, racist, and genocidal legacy of the U.S. government in regards to Native people, their land, and self-determination.
