Keystone Pipeline In North Dakota Case Study

In the article, “A high-plains showdown over the Dakota Access Pipeline”, Justin Worland addresses the current situation the North Dakota Access Pipeline has brought upon America and its Native American tribes. In particular, the Standing Rock Sioux tribe has a conflict between the Energy Transfer Partners company. Energy Transfer Partners wants to build an oil pipeline near the Standing Rock Reservation. The Sioux tribe is against the project because the oil pipeline will destroy their historical ground and their water source of Lake Oahe.

The Dakota Access Pipeline is a pipeline that moves crude oil from the west side of North Dakota to the border of Illinois and Canada. There is a lot of controversy around it because it runs right past The Great Sioux Reservation. The Reservation has had many problems with the US Government throughout the years. Many people are protesting the construction of it, much to their prevail, Obama’s administration delayed its construction.

Thesis: The U.S. should stop the production of the North Dakota Access Pipeline because it would break the contract made over a hundred years with the Native Americans, it violates the ninth amendment, and it is not environmentally safe.

For centuries Native Americans have been oppressed and targeted by white males and there seems to be no end in sight for them. White men have taken away their land, culture and identity. They makeup only 1.7 percent of the population and today they are still being ignored and are not receiving certain rights that they lawfully deserve. Standing Rock: A New Movement For Native-American Rights displays, once again, the disregard that government and industries have towards the environment and native people. It presented how the construction of the Dakota Access oil pipeline has created lots of controversy throughout the country due to the fact that this oil company ignored the reality that they were cutting through the Sioux reservation border

Hello I am Michelle Diaz currently a freshman at Mount Rainier High School and in my contemporary global issues class we have been learning about the issue of the Dakota Access Pipeline. I am writing to inform you about the issue with the pipeline that has been going on. Since December 2014 there has been an ongoing disagreement between the Energy Transfer Partners and the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe (also including other native tribes). This disagreement is due to the fact that the oil companies are pushing to build an oil pipeline from North Dakota to Illinois making the pipeline stretch 1,172 miles. According to the oil company this project would decrease U.S reliance on foreign oil and create thousands of jobs for americans. Though this may be true the pipeline would also be crossing sacred sites that are culturally important to the natives and

In February 9, 2005, the TransCanada proposed a pipeline system that would be able to transport crude oil from Canada into the United States. The pipeline was given the name the Keystone Pipeline System. Originally, the pipeline was to run from Alberta, Canada to refineries in Illinois. However, in 2008 another proposition was raised in order to extend the pipeline even further to down to Texas. The proposition is known as the Keystone XL. The possible construction of the pipeline is a controversial topic. Entrepreneurs believe that such a pipeline will stimulate the nation's economy and lead to an increase in the amount of jobs. On the other side, environmentalists believe that the pipeline will be detrimental for the environment as the

In light of the current events in North Dakota dealing with the Bakken pipeline, the resulting possibility of manmade environmental disasters on Native American land, and Robert Verchick’s lecture regarding the Isle de Jean Charles, I was interested in performing a high-level analysis of the resilience of Native American tribes in the US. In this reaction paper, I would like to address one central question – are Native American tribes in the US adequately resilient to disaster risk? As we have discussed, in the disaster risk context, resilience can be broadly defined as “the ability to prepare and plan for, absorb, recover from, and more successfully adapt to adverse events.” However, according to Farber, the concepts of vulnerability and resilience are complexly intertwined, and one cannot be studied without the other. I would like to briefly examine both the special vulnerabilities of Native American tribes and the sufficiency of modern federal disaster legislation in advocating their resilience.

Have you heard about the protest going on about the North Dakota Pipelines? Encase you haven't here is some information and views on it. First who’s fighting? Well, that simple members from the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation, well that’s how it started off anyways, now there is several hundred Native Americans from all over the country. Since April they have been gathering outside of Cannon Ball to protest.

The protest of the South Dakota oil pipeline seems to be getting so bad that it is becoming dangerous for the protesters. The use of excessive force by the police towards the protesters is in some cases life threading the use of rubber bullets, tear gas and high powered water houses in the dead of winter where temperature are below freezing at night it’s sickening that they can use such extreme measures . The people of the standing rock reservation are only fighting for the safety of their water and ecosystem and they are being treated like criminals. I worry with the election of trump the chances are that there is nothing they can do to put a stop to the pipeline I find it extremely hard to believe he is going to side with the protesters. What if the pipeline is happening

For the most part, everyone is pretty familiar with the Dakota Access Pipeline and the protests that surround it. A 1,172 mile pipeline project

There has been very many event that have caused protests and controversies over the U.S. in recent weeks. Some of these controversies have a lot of people involved and some not so many. So controversies that some people have been protesting about is capornicks kneeling during the national anthem. More protest and controversies that have been going on in recent weeks is about the election of President Elect. Donald Trump. One of the most talked about controversies in these last couple weeks is the pipeline in North Dakota.

The building of the Keystone Pipeline has become a rallying cry for it proponents as well as the opposition. Although the opposing side are able to agree on little else, I believe each see the importance of the outcome of the debate. I have followed the controversy closely for the six years it has been raging. The facts behind the storm point clearly to the problems associated with the project Building the proposed extension of the Keystone Pipeline would transport product that will place vital natural resources at risk in its transport, damage the environment with the mining process used to extract it, result in increased global warming by furthering our nation’s dependency on fossil fuels, and is not in the best interest of the country.

In North Dakota, oil is a great source of revenue. Since the oil boom, transporting that oil has been done through pipelines as well as rail cars. Recently, the Dakota Access pipeline has attracted attention from celebrities and other civilians that are not even residents of the Dakotas, such as Shailene Woodley, Leonardo DiCaprio, Jane Fonda, and Mark Ruffalo. Pipelines can be both efficient and dangerous. The efficiency can be read in the ability to transport the oil to other states, while the danger can be read in the environmental damage of an oil spill in a river that people depend on for water--in the case the Dakota Access pipeline could damage the Missouri River. No matter all the perks of a pipeline such as Dakota Access, it can be

Oil has been an important resource of energy in America “since the discovery of the Spindletop geyser in 1901. It drove huge growth in the oil industry in America. Within a year, more than 1,500 oil companies had been chartered, and oil became the dominant fuel of the 20th century and an integral part of the American economy” (History.com Staff). This had developed the construction of pipelines to move the oil within the country and offshore in coastal waters. Recently, the federal government approved the construction of a new pipeline that would be transporting crude oil from North Dakota to Illinois.

Domestic violence has been plaguing our society for years. There are many abusive relationships, and the only question to ask is: why? The main answer is control. The controlling characteristic that males attribute to their masculinity is the cause to these abusive relationships. When males don’t have control they feel their masculinity is threatened and they need to do something about it. This doesn’t occur in just their relationships, but rather every facet of life. Men are constantly in a struggle for power and control whether it is at work, home, during sports, or in a relationship, this remains true. So the only way for them to get this power is for them to be “men”; tough, strong, masculine, ones that demand and take power. Where
