This R&D provides resources on the controversy surrounding the Dakota Access Oil Pipeline project.  The project aims to carry more than 400,000 barrels of crude oil through North Dakota, South Dakota, and Iowa, but Native American groups are protesting its construction, arguing that the pipeline borders tribal lands and that they wish for the construction of renewable energy resources.  The protests have been joined by other liberal groups and celebrities.
