The 1,770 kilometre, $3.7-billion (U.S.) Dakota Access pipeline would carry oil from just north of the Standing Rock 厂颈辞耻虫香蕉视频直播檚 land in North Dakota to Illinois, where it would hook up to an existing pipeline and route crude directly to refineries in the U.S. Gulf Coast.

The project is led by Dallas-based Energy Transfer Partners through its Dakota Access subsidiary.

It was envisioned as a safer way to transport highly flammable oil extracted from the Bakken Shale formation in North Dakota, Montana and parts of Canada than on trains.

The Standing Rock Sioux reservation is one of six in the Dakotas that are all that remain of what was once the Great Sioux Reservation, which comprised all of South Dakota west of the Missouri River 香蕉视频直播 including the Black Hills, which are considered sacred, according to the 迟谤颈产别香蕉视频直播檚 website.
