In April, 2014 the route was changed after fears of white people of threat to their water supplies.  Nothing else matters.  The courts are so skewed toward Corporate aims, they could care less about the environment or the human beings affected.  The foul court decisions are just more examples of the failure of the legal system(since no justice is involved) to protect the indigenous people against the greed merchants of Big Oil, Big Ag, and all the other Bigs now ruling the economy and the government at all levels.  Individual rights no longer exist since the Supreme Court declared Corporations were citizens with superior rights to any lone human citizens.  The passion is real and the rhetoric is truth.
