Tim King: Report on Standing Rock and the Veterans who Stood w/ Water Protectors


Hosted by Marti Oakley

Guest :  Nationally known reporter, Tim King traveled to Standing Rock to stand with more than a thousand other veterans in defense of the Water Protectors.

" I was standing there when the announcement about the easement denial was first announced, I can talk about what that was like to hear such amazing news, and the realities of how the news may be too good to be true", which appeared to be everyone's initial reaction.  Tim will talk about the feeling among the veterans, the interaction between dedicated natives and our veteran group, the immense numbers of Native veterans, the bitter cold and tough conditions, and about the history that precedes this time

Even though DPLA has been ordered to halt its pipeline under the Missouri River, they have stated publicly that the pipeline will proceed as planned and will be completed on time.
