[Package of Standing Rock and the Dakota Access Pipeline stories here<\/a>]<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Right by the Chicago River, hundreds of Native Americans and their supporters chanted, \u201cWater is life!\u201d Adorned with traditional headdresses, some of them lit tobacco and prayed for their water. And as the sun set, they danced under the shade of the multi-million-dollar Trump Tower, one of the monoliths that represents the man who will be stepping into the White House in January.<\/p>\n

As people continue to protest in various states against the results of the election, thousands of Native Americans and their allies all over the nation are intensifying their fight against the controversial Dakota Access Pipeline. Now that a leader who has expressed his support for and has a vested interest in the fossil fuel industry is about to rise to power, those who are fighting the pipeline feel a stronger sense of urgency.<\/p>\n

Trump \u201cputs politics over people, so I believe deep down in my heart that now that Donald Trump won the presidential 2016 election, he will allow Dakota Access Pipeline to continue to be built,\u201d said Lamon Reccord, organizer of one of the NoDAPL protests in Chicago.<\/p>\n

Calling on Obama<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

With less than two months left for the Obama administration, and the pipeline almost complete<\/a>, Native Americans and those who are in solidarity with them are racing against time, with their voices pleading to Obama, their picket signs poised in front of U.S. Army Corps of Engineers<\/a> buildings and their eyes locked on Trump.<\/p>\n

But Obama and the Corps are delaying the process. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is a federal government body that has the power to grant permits for water crossings and construction on federally-owned lands. The Corps is asserting jurisdiction over the 3 percent of Dakota Access Pipeline\u2019s 1,168-mile route. They have not permitted the pipeline to cross Lake Oahe in North Dakota, the only remaining<\/a> uncompleted section \u00a0of the pipeline.<\/p>\n

Obama stepped in and temporarily halted <\/a>the pipeline\u2019s construction in September and requested the company to \u201cvoluntarily pause all construction activity within 20 miles east or west of Lake Oahe\u201d to accommodate further discussions among tribes, pipeline developers and the Corps.<\/p>\n

In an exclusive interview <\/a>with NowThis on Nov. 1, Obama said, “I think right now the Army Corps is examining whether there are ways to reroute this pipeline in a way. So we’re going to let it play out for several more weeks and determine whether or not this can be resolved in a way that I think is properly attentive to the traditions of the first Americans.”<\/p>\n

EXCLUSIVE: @POTUS<\/a> on Dakota Access Pipeline protests: \u201cThere’s an obligation for authorities to show restraint” pic.twitter.com\/OfITagV1WG<\/a><\/p>\n

\u2014 NowThis (@nowthisnews) November 2, 2016<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In a statement, the Corps said that while discussion among the tribe, Energy Transfer Partners and the Corps is ongoing, \u201cconstruction on or under Corps land bordering Lake Oahe [in North Dakota] cannot occur because the Army has not made a final decision on whether to grant an easement.\u201d<\/p>\n

Although the pipeline is still in limbo,\u00a0 people are continuing what they have been doing for the past few months but now with more immediacy, an air of desperation and a rethinking of strategy.<\/p>\n

Energy Transfer Partners and its subsidiary Sunoco Logistics Partners L.P. have fought back by filing two lawsuits in federal district court. The press release <\/a>states that they have the \u201clegal right-of-way to build, complete and operate the Dakota Access Pipeline without any further action from the Army Corps of Engineers.\u201d<\/p>\n

Those who are against the pipeline are continuing to call on President Obama and are protesting in front of Corps offices in various states.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe still have time to fight the battle of not having Donald Trump in office [by writing letters to the White House and organizing] and also fighting the battle to make sure Obama says no to this pipeline,\u201d said Reccord.<\/p>\n

Community organizing has intensified with nationwide protests and the Nov. 15 #NoDAPL day of action during which demonstrations were held<\/a> in over 300 cities in the U.S. and abroad. Several petitions are circulating while some people are divesting from banks such as JPMorgan Chase and Bank of America, which are funding the Dakota Access Pipeline, according to Yes! Magazine<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe’s [President Obama] got a great chance to put a cherry on top of his sundae of his eight years as a leader,\u201d said Janet Toton, who joined a NoDAPL protest in Chicago. \u201cSo I think I’m going to pray for that. And then it’s going to be a battle to make sure that everything stays in place once Trump does take his seat.\u201d<\/p>\n

Protesters are convinced that if construction is not halted during the Obama administration, Trump will allow the pipeline to be completed.<\/p>\n

Some even believe that depending on how the Obama administration and the Corps frame their decisions, Trump will be able to affect construction of the pipeline regardless.<\/p>\n

If \u00a0the halt in construction is made permanent by the Obama administration, Trump will still probably be able to overturn that decision, according to a source in the Corps\u2019 legal department. However, this is going to be a complex process. If Trump wanted to lift the halt by executive action, there would need to be legal steps to do it. The process would be long and complex, and it\u2019s never just \u201cblack and white,\u201d according to Phillip Ellis, senior press secretary of Earth Justice, the legal team of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe.<\/p>\n

It is not clear if that process would be any shorter than the lawsuits that are now pending in federal court.<\/p>\n

Vested interest<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The reason why protesters are intensifying the movement in the wake of the election is also because of Trump\u2019s vested interest in fossil fuels and his statements about climate change.<\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s conflict of interest is evident in his personal financial disclosure forms<\/a>, one of which he released when he announced his candidacy in 2015. The forms show that he invested $500,000 to $1 million in Energy Transfer Partners, L.P., one of the primary developers of the pipeline that the Standing Rock Sioux tribe claims destroyed sacred burial sites <\/a>and threatens the tribe\u2019s water source. One year later his financial disclosure form, which he released in May 2016, shows that his investment in Energy Transfer Partners was reported at $15,000 to $50,000 worth of stock, according to the Associated Press<\/a> and The Guardian<\/a>, though it\u2019s not clear what accounted for the dramatic decrease in investment and whether Trump gained or lost on the selling of the stock.<\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s relationship with Energy Transfer Partners is symbiotic. Campaign contribution records<\/a> show that Kelcy Warren, CEO of Energy Transfer Partners, donated $3,000 directly to Trump\u2019s campaign,\u00a0 $100,000 to Trump Victory Committee, a joint fundraising group that includes Donald J. Trump For President, 11 state Republican committees and the Republican National Committee, and another $66,800 to the Republican National Committee, according to The Guardian<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Trump also owns a significant amount of stock in Phillips 66, which has a 25% share of the pipeline, according to both The Guardian<\/a> and the Associated Press,<\/a> though the amounts in the reports differ.<\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s 2016 financial disclosure forms<\/a> also reveal that he has millions of dollars invested in several other fossil fuel companies, according to Greenpeace<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Trump and climate change<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

What worries people even more than Trump\u2019s investments in fossil fuel industries are his statements on environmental issues.<\/p>\n

\n

The concept of global warming was created by and for the Chinese in order to make U.S. manufacturing non-competitive.<\/p>\n

\u2014 Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 6, 2012<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cI believe strongly in clean water and clean air. But I don\u2019t believe what they say [climate change]. I think it\u2019s a big scam for a lot of people to make a lot of money,\u201d said Trump in an interview on ‘The O’Reilly Factor.\u2019 During the interview, he also did not directly answer whether he was willing to invest in alternative energy.<\/p>\n

[youtube https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=uGEzFbRl-g8&w=560&h=315]<\/p>\n

Burning of fossil fuels is directly linked<\/a> to rising global temperatures which have increased approximately 0.8 degrees Celsius since 1880, according to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.<\/p>\n

“I just see Trump and his cabinet, his various orders [are] just working in various ways to create more dependency on non-renewable fossil fuels,\u201d said Al Eastman of the Rosebud Sioux tribe, who is an environmental scientist and a community organizer in Chicago.<\/p>\n

Trump even pledged<\/a> to relaunch construction of the Keystone XL Pipeline<\/a>, which many Native Americans rallied against and was stopped by Obama in Nov. 2015.<\/p>\n

Despite this, not all Native Americans who are against the pipeline are against Trump.<\/p>\n

\u201cTrump is a fair man and I believe once he understands what dangers lay in running the pipeline near the river…he will make the Corps move it,\u201d said Tara Swann, a Shawnee and Cherokee from West Virginia, who voted for Trump. \u201cWe are begging on Mr. Trump to meet with our elders and listen.\u201d<\/p>\n
