Lakotas arrested blocking tarsands trucks on Lakota land!

Lakotas Alex White Plume, Debra White Plume, Andrew Ironshell, Sam Long Black Cat and Don Iron Shell, were arrested at a blockade of tarsands pipeline trucks.

Debra White Plume, released from jail in Kyle, South Dakota, said Monday night, "Alex, myself, Sam Long Black Cat, Andrew Iron Shell and Terrell Eugene Iron Shell were arrested and charged with disorderly conduct."

"We formed a blockade to stop tarsands oil mine equipment from passing our lands. The truckers told us the corporation office from Calgary, Alberta, Canada and the State of South Dakota made a deal to save the truckers $50,000 per truck, there were two trucks, from having to pay $100,000," Debra White Plume told Censored News.

"There were about 50 to 75 people on the blockade at the village of Wanbli in Eagle Nest District on the northern side of the Pine Ridge rez."

Debra White Plume said the trucks were coming from Texas and going to Alberta, Canada to the tarsands oil mine.

"They each carried a 'treater vessel' which is used to separate gas and oil and other elements. Each weighs 229,155 pounds, and is valued at $1,259,593, according to the papers we got from the truck drivers."

"They said their office in Canada made the route with the State of South Dakota to cross the Pine Ridge rez in order to avoid paying the state of South Dakota $50,000 per truck," Debra White Plume said.
"The equipment arrived from South Korea in August. The truck drivers said they did not know they were crossing an Indian reservation and would tell their corporate office that they need to look at another route, because if they cross Indian land again they will probably run into another blockade."
"There were about 75 people on the blockade, people brought pots of soup, frybread, cases of water, doughnuts, soda, and parked their cars to join the blockade. The oldest woman there was Marie Randall, another elder was Ione Bad Cob who came in her WHEELCHAIR and participated in the blockade."

"The tribal police took us to jail. Our lawyer Sonny Richards did the paperwork to get us out of jail. The tribal police had to let the trucks get off the rez. They escorted them to the reservation line.

"We oppose the tarsands oil mine in solidarity with Mother Earth and our First Nation allies," Debra White Plume said.

If. A few $$$$$$$ greasing the right palms will take care of all this. Once that's done the trucks will be able to do as they please.

It's not really sovereign land folks. And the fact they all have "band cards and numbers assigned by the government" demonstrates they are not sovereign either. It's all a bunch of bullshit.

Too many people went without proper heat last year at Pine Ridge indian reservation. The tar sands people could make some donations to help the Indian people and still be many thousands of dollars ahead.

Indians are not greedy I am sure that a donation that is far smaller than what the state is demanding would be acceptable. In addition the Indians on this reservation are not without skills and unemployment is too high. The tar sands could easly hire some of these unemployed people.

You can help heat a home on Pine Ridge Reservation by donating to the OST Energy/Heating Assistance Fund...

'tis a very sad thing. My heart goes out to them. They know the natural resource is being exploited.

Our country is being parceled off to the highest bidder. They will fight. Most of us won't. We're too burned out.

Wake up and smell the .....shadow
