Protesters gathered at the Michigan State Capitol in Lansing this afternoon to show solidarity with the Standing Rock Sioux tribe, sharing their opposition to the Dakota Access Pipeline, or DAPL. Emmy Scott, an MSU law student involved with organizing the protest, said the gathering came in light of an escalation of violence against DAPL protesters. http://www.nytimes.com/2016/10/29/us/dakota-access-pipeline-protest.html Participants engaged in Native American song and dance, many holding signs voicing opposition to the pipeline. Among a disdain for pipelines, one of the most common themes of the protest was the slogan “Water is Life”. Scott related the concerns of those in Standing Rock to those in Michigan, relating the DAPL’s potential dangers to those of the Line 5 pipeline, and citing the Kalamazoo Oil Spill as well as the Flint Water Crisis as issues in which Michiganians could relate.
