The North Dakota oil pipeline, also known as the Bakken pipeline project, is a controversial underground pipeline development in the United States initiated in the year 2014. It is an access pipeline scheme approximated to run over 1,172 miles or 1886 km underground with 30-inch diameter pipeline from the Bakken oil field in North Dakota to Patoka in Illinois.

They have ensured Standing Rock Sioux Tribe, another key player, that the pipeline will be safe for the environment. If that is true, why are the tribe still fighting it today.
