Native Nations March to Trump’s White House Draws Huge Crowds (video)
On March 10, 2017, thousands of Indigenous activists from across the country gathered in Washington, D.C. for the Native Nations March to protest the
Dakota Access pipeline and
President Trump’s executive order allowing Energy Transfer Partners to commence building the uncompleted portion of the pipeline, directly adjacent to the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation. Led by the Standing Rock Sioux tribe, the march began at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers headquarters and ended at Lafayette Square across from the White House. Along the way, marchers stopped at Trump International Hotel, where they briefly erected a teepee. Participants were unfazed by the weather, despite rain and snow at the beginning of the march.
