Still Sacred: Why Energy Transfer Partners' Cannonball Land Grab Doesn't Change Anything by Gabriel Galanda

The media was quick to report that Energy Transfer Partners, the developer of the “Dakota” Access Pipeline (DAPL), purchased the Cannonball Ranch last Thursday.

What wasn’t reported was the extent to which Ranch is sacred to both Native and Non-Native society. Indeed, its sacredness spans both worlds. As the Rapid City Journal reported a decade ago:

The ranch, since statehood, has been the land that bridged North Dakota to the Standing Rock Sioux Indian Reservation, on the other side of the Cannonball River.
