Shoshone-Bannock Tribes support N.D. pipeline protesters

It is one of the largest gatherings of Native American tribes in more than a century.

More than 3,000 American Indians, including members of the Shoshone-Bannock Tribes, have come together in North Dakota to stop the ongoing construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline, which is owned by Houston, Texas-based corporation Energy Transfer Partners.

Once completed, the pipeline will transport 450,000 barrels of crude oil per day from the oil fields in western North Dakota to Illinois.
