Washington, D.C. — The Standing Rock Sioux Tribe is appealing the recent decision to allow the Dakota Access Pipeline to continue.
The tribe says the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is breaking federal law by operating without proper documentation. The pipeline stretches more than eleven-hundred miles, transporting crude oil from the Bakken oilfield to a terminal in Illinois.
A portion of that pipeline sits a half mile north of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe reservation boundaries.
