Native Americans march to the White House in spiritual battle against pipeline

Lilly Fowler

WASHINGTON (RNS) On a cold rainy morning, members of the American Indian tribes shouted “Water is sacred” and “Keep it in the soil; can’t drink oil” as they marched toward the White House.

The Friday (March 10) protest against the Dakota Access pipeline included hundreds of Native Americans, some dressed in traditional feather headbands and ponchos.

They beat drums and danced as they made their way through the streets.
