US Indigenous Tribe Braces for New Anti-Pipeline Struggle

The Ramapough Lunaape tribe in New Jersey is preparing for battle and invoking the spirit of the successful struggles at North Dakota as they oppose another potentially dangerous oil pipeline in their backyard.

The 178-mile Pilgrim pipeline would pump up to 200,00 barrels of Bakken crude oil – highly flammable and toxic to the environment – daily as it travels through Albany, New York to the Bayway Refinery in Linden, New Jersey. This means crossing through environmentally-sensitive areas and aquifers in over 30 New Jersey municipalities.
