has had the federal judge reject the tribes bid to halt the construction of the pipeline in North Dakota, over the sacred site of ancestral burial grounds.
Today is the day that honors the first genocide of the Indigenous People perpetuated by a culture from Spain, and paid for by a Queen and King of Spain, and this country and this world is still seeing that a culture of the Indigenous People means nothing, it has been and always will be about money

The court's ruling acknowledged that it was "not the final word," noting that the final decision lies with the Corps of Engineers. While it said the tribe hadn't met the strict requirements of the act to force a halt to construction, the three-judge panel said it "can only hope that the spirit" of the act "may yet prevail."
That note, Archambault said, is the court's signal "to not proceed" with the project.
"It seems they are coming to the same conclusion as the federal government in acknowledging there is something wrong with the approvals for the pipeline," he said. "We see this as an encouraging sign."
Last month, the Army Corps, the Justice Department and the Interior Department announced that they would not allow work to proceed on federal land near or under the Missouri River, pending more reviews of previous environmental decisions. That decision, the court said, "is likely weeks away."
