ROCK (NewsDakota.com) – The Standing Rock Sioux Tribe says President Donald Trump is breaking the law with an executive order aimed at moving the Dakota Access oil pipeline forward.

The tribe has fought for months against the pipeline that passes near its reservation on the North Dakota-South Dakota border. Tribal leaders argue that it risks contaminating water, and they’re promising to fight Trump’s action in court.

Tribal Chairman Dave Archambault says Trump must honor treaty rights and “provide a fair and reasonable pipeline process.”

He says Trump’s decision is payback to wealthy contributors at the risk of the tribe’s water.
