CANNON BALL, N.D. - Energy industry supporters say transporting oil by pipeline is the safest way to get it from one point to another. But when the pipeline travels beneath your water supply, there's no guarantee that it won't ever leak and contaminate that water.

More tribes from around the country made their way to the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation to stand in solidarity with the tribe as they fight the Dakota Access Pipeline.
