Activists continue to protest at Standing Rock in solidarity with the Standing Rock Sioux against the construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline.
Since April, groups have been making their way to the Standing Rock with camps set up near the reservation.
Here in Manitoba, President of the Manitoba Metis Federation David Chartrand has made comparisons to the recent approval of the Kinder Morgan Pipeline expansion.
"We'll probably go into discussion with Canada, Canada just recently announced the pipelines of Enbridge and Kinder Morgan, so from our perspective we'll be sitting down... I had a discussion with the minister last night on this whole announcement and how the Metis will be looking at this agenda, and we both have got two issues from out side the economic side of it and we also got the environmental side."
The Dakota Access Pipeline is said to stretch 1,172 miles across North Dakota.
