Earth+Bone, Part 1: Standing Rock Sioux Fight Trump And Oil Pipeline

People from many southwestern tribes drove to Flagstaff to protest the Dakota Access Pipeline as well as other industries that threaten their sacred places.

Last year, hundreds of thousands of people from around the world united with the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe to protest the Dakota Access Pipeline. That protest continues as President Donald Trump advances development. The movement has brought a megaphone to the battle between what tribes believe to be sacred and what westerners consider fair game all across the United States. KJZZ’s Fronteras Desk Correspondent Laurel Morales spent months digging deeper into this pervasive issue here in the Southwest to produce this series Earth+Bone.


Laurel Morales was a Fronteras Desk senior field correspondent in Flagstaff from 2011 to 2020.
