“In a few decades, the relationship between the environment, resources, and conflict may seem almost as obvious as the connection we see today between human rights, democracy, and peace (Nobel Peace Prize Medalist Maathai 2004).” A Canadian oil company that goes by TransCanada hopes to build an oil pipeline that would extend an enormous 1,200 miles onto an already gargantuan 2,600 mile long pipeline. Keystone XL represents just under a third of the entire Keystone project, and every other piece of pipe has been built and laid out. In fact, TransCanada 's pipeline system is already shipping hundreds of thousands of barrels of crude oil from the Canadian oil sands across the U.S. border -- and into Illinois (Diamond). The current proposal would take the pipeline on a journey all the way through to Texas. Extracting crude oil from oil sands would be enormously problematic for the environment as it causes the pumping of about 17% more greenhouse gases into the atmosphere than standard crude oil extraction. Tar sand oil has levels of carbon dioxide emissions that are three to four times higher than those of conventional oil, due to more energy-intensive removal and refining processes (Friends of the Earth). The construction of the Keystone XL pipeline would stimulate employment, the effects would be temporary and the whole scheme would produce a negative long term outcome. The construction of the Keystone XL pipeline has caused

“Standing Rock is part of an ongoing struggle against colonial violence.” The nonndigenous culture tends to think of Native Americans from a purely historical perspective because of their struggle for their rights and land ownership. As we know from our history books, dominant white society diminished Native Americans to the margins and continues to take their possessions out of their wants. The North Dakota Dakota Access Pipeline article by Ifeoma Oluo, an author of the Guardian, mentions that Native Americans fighting the battle for justice in a government stacked against them, as well as, mentioning African-Americans are in the same battle to withstand any more disrespect and brutally from the white dominance. Published on September 2016,

The Atlantic Coast Pipeline is a proposed natural gas pipeline that is planned to go through three states along the east coast; West Virginia, Virginia, and North Carolina. The pipeline is claimed to create 19,440 jobs and provide clean reliable power to the residents within the borders of the three states. The pipeline seems to be beneficial in improving the livelihood of the residents of these states, however, the pipeline is also taking from the communities it is planned to go through. The Atlantic Coast Pipeline has created some controversy, among individuals especially when it comes to the equity of specific communities. Equity is the quality of being fair when it comes to making decisions.

Americans are at odds over the morality and legality of the proposed Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) because some believe the construction of this enormous conduit perpetuates the cycle of the American government disregarding Native American rights and others recognize the pipeline’s potential to revolutionize the role of oil in the country’s economy. This issue is older than the United States, yet it resurfaces in 2016 in an emotional discordance between inhabitants of the Sioux Standing Rock Reservation and the Energy Transfer Partners who wish to complete the massive project. To understand the significance of this controversy, one must review the history of Native American relationships with foreign expansionists. ------

For months, tension have mounted between protestors and law enforcement officials over the faith of an oil pipeline not far from Standing Rock Sioux Reservation. It has become an environmental and cultural flashpoint, stirring passion across social media and drawing thousands of protestors in the United States and around the world.

This illustration is focusing on the Energy East pipeline and the effects that it has on the Canadian economy; more specifically the Alberta economy. The life guard can be identified as Justin Trudeau by the exaggerated nose and hair in the picture. In the water the person who is drowning symbolizes Alberta and its economy, we can tell this by the AB on their cowboy hat. Going into more detail, the illustrator uses the analogy of drowning to show the economic struggles in Alberta. Over on the shore is the Prime Minister Justin Trudeau holding a life-preserver with the writing “Energy East” on it, the Energy East pipeline could help disperse oil from western Canada to the coasts, essentially acting as a life-preserver for the Albertan

The Keystone XL pipeline is a pipeline that runs from Canada to the United States. It would travel from Alberta to the southeast part of Texas next to the Gulf of Mexico, so petroleum products can be transported around the world. This great project would supply petroleum demands and create many jobs. The only thing needed for this project to take off in 2015 is for President Obama to approve it.

On Sunday, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers denied a permit for completion of the Dakota Access Pipeline, which would have come a half a mile south of the Standing Rock Sioux reservation in North Dakota. HOWEVER, Instead, the Corps said it would begin to explore alternative routes. While members of the tribe and its allies celebrated the decision, some worry that the victory may only be temporary, given President-elect Donald Trump’s support for the almost 1,200 mile-long pipeline.However, North Dakota’s governor, the company and members of the state’s congressional delegation all denounced the decision. Therefore, members of the tribe have said for many months that the pipeline would destroy sacred lands and were worried an oil leak could

In my artwork, I focused on the problem of the Dakota Access Pipeline. While it may not be as popular as the election, or things such as that, this issue need to be resolved. In North Dakota, there was a planned pipeline that would go underground to supply oil to markets that sell it. But this pipeline was originally going to be stored near Missouri river, which is the only water source to a local Native American tribe called the Standing Rock Sioux. There could be a possible chance that the pipe could break, polluting the water and making it unhealthy. So, in response to that, many of the Native American tribes are protesting against the pipeline. For example, PBS learning media states, "Numerous Native American tribes, ranchers, politicians

An old Sioux prophecy once stated that a black snake will cross the great Sioux land. The black snake would come at a great time of uncertainty and destroy the world as we know it. It also states the only way to stop this black snake is for the youth to come together and stop it. Many protestors, commonly referred as water protectors, believe this black snake has arrived in the form of the Dakota Access Pipeline. In the beginning of the year 2016 the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers published a draft of it plan to approve the Dakota Access Pipeline route under the Missouri River. This has sparked controversy between the Standing Rock Sioux tribe and the company building the pipeline, Dallas-based Energy Transfer Partners. This has led to many Native American gathering in protest against the pipeline.

Imagine living in a third world country with overcrowded houses and no job. That is how, “about 22% of our country’s 5.2 million Native Americans live” (A Program of Partnership With Native Americans). Right now Native American people take up about 2% of all land in North America, most of it being around the area of North and South Dakota. Over the past week there have been protests over the insertion of an oil pipeline through the Native American people, mainly the Standing Rock tribe’s, sacred land. This new pipeline would, “threaten water supplies for the Standing Rock Sioux and millions of others downstream, and its route would destroy tribal burial grounds and sacred cultural land” (Healy). Many of the Native American people, along

The pending Keystone XL pipeline (KXL) project and legalization of recreational and medical marijuana are both government policy issues currently at the forefront of public awareness. The policy decisions over the past 10 or so years have led to ongoing debate and progress in these areas.

Although some might agree with the construction of the $3.8bn oil pipeline that would cross four states, others are opposed to that construction strongly, and things got violent recently. Protests are made to get a point across but that does not mean things won't get violent. For instance, there is a big protest that is taking place in North Dakota, that involves the construction of the $3.8bn oil pipeline being constructed on sacred land. Protesters are opposed to this construction since this pipeline would transport oil crossing the Missouri River less than a mile away from the Standing Rock Reservation. Not long after construction crews began doing their work, the protest started to get violent. In the article, “North Dakota Pipeline Protest

On Wednesday, May 16, 2018, a town hall meeting was held at AREA to determine whether or not to advance and increase the production of oil sands and the Northern Gateway Pipeline project. Nine groups attended with various insights regarding the oil sands production and the Northern Gateway pipeline project.
