14 Arrested as Standing Rock Sioux Tribe Protest N. Dakota Pipeline
-------------------------------------------------------------------

In North Dakota, 14 people were arrested Thursday protesting the $3.8
billion Dakota Access pipeline that will stretch from North Dakota to
Illinois. The protest was led by members of the Standing Rock Sioux
Tribe, which has been staging nonviolent protests against the pipeline
for months. The Standing Rock Sioux Tribe maintains that the pipeline is
being built in violation of the National Historic Preservation Act.
