Is the traffic stopped at the side of the road?
Or are those native protestors?

What is actually blocking the road? Barricades? Humans?

The territory was never ceded to the United States so they claim it as their land.

The US has continued to break the treaty on several occasions (mining gold, carving faces into sacred mountains) and they have never accepted the offers of money or recompense for the infringements.

Watch as the real TRESPASSERS throw The People off their own land!

A proud day for Lakota! Held them back for over three hours.

A Trump supporter hit a woman who was a Trump protester. He was arrested, at least.

"Law" "enforcement" not even wearing masks. NO fucking respect for fellow humans. (So what else is new?)

They were peaceful and they shamed the police and National Guard.

I hope no one shows up for the event for dump and dense and the rest of the elephant droppings.

The number of police, especially in military riot gear, is disproportionate to the situation. It's orderly with no violence, but so ugly. TV coverage is not mentioning this at all. There's a seated crowd with a band about to play, and a helicopter on the pad nearby, presumably trump.
