Standing Rock protesters to lead Washington DC march urging Donald Trump to discuss indigenous rights

Standing Rock protesters are heading to the US capital for four days of demonstrations against the construction of the Dakota Access pipeline and to raise awareness of other issues affecting Native Americans.

Activists from indigenous tribes from across America will set up a teepee encampment next to the Washington Monument, before marching on the White House and holding a rally in the city's Lafayette Square on Friday morning.
