ND: Hundreds Protest Law Firm Defending Dakota Access Pipeline
--------------------------------------------------------------

In Bismarck, North Dakota, hundreds of people protested Monday outside
the offices of the law firm Fredrikson & Byron P.A., which is
representing Dakota Access LLC-the company behind the $3.8 billion oil
pipeline that has faced massive resistance from the Standing Rock Sioux
Tribe and other tribal nations. This is Tom Goldtooth, director of the
Indigenous Environmental Network.

Tom Goldtooth: "We are part of a growing movement that is condemning
this colonial legal system based upon property rights."
