This has always been snuck through. Treaty Rights must be upheld. It IS the law:

President Dwight D. Eisenhower and his western Republican henchmen took a decidedly anti-Indian approach. They went beyond assimilation to trying to take away what little remaining resources Indians still had. When Eisenhower took office in 1953, he had majorities in both the Senate and the House. These majorities could and did ride roughshod over several groups and issues, including Indians. They believed it was their right and duty to reverse Roosevelt’s “New Deal.” He put the former head of the Japanese internment camps, Dillon Myer, to run the BIA.

UN Experts to United States: Stop DAPL Now
"The tribe was denied access to information and excluded from consultations," says UN special rapporteur
Backing up the Standing Rock Sioux and its allies, a United Nations expert has called on the United States to stop the Dakota Access Pipeline.

Echoing pipeline opponents' concerns, the statement from the UN Special Rapporteur on the rights of indigenous peoples, Victoria Tauli-Corpuz, cited the pipeline's threats to drinking water and sacred sites. She also admonished the U.S. for failing to protect protesters' rights and failing to properly consult with communities affected by the fossil fuel infrastructure.

"The tribe was denied access to information and excluded from consultations at the planning stage of the project, and environmental assessments failed to disclose the presence and proximity of the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation," Tauli-Corpuz stated Thursday—just two days after Standing Rock Chairman Dave Archambault II urged the UN Human Rights Council to help the tribe stop the pipeline.

Informed consent from those affected—and abiding by the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples—is essential, she said, "particularly in connection with extractive resource industries."

Responding to the crackdown on pipeline protesters, she said, "The U.S. authorities should fully protect and facilitate the right to freedom of peaceful assembly of indigenous peoples, which plays a key role in empowering their ability to claim other rights."

Good . I realse that nothing or no one can force our government or the oil companies to do whats right , not even our laws can do that . But having Amnesty International and the United Nations at your side during this means a couple of psitive tings , one is that in the centuries long fight against the US government you're not alone in this any longer , 2 , yes , you are still in a fight, but you aren't alone now .
thanks for the update .
