Kritische Beobachter warnen allerdings, dass damit Präsident Obama nur 
einen Aufschub bis zum Ende seiner Amtszeit - Mitte Jänner 2017 - 
erreicht. Sein Nachfolger Trump und die Öl-Lobby in seiner Regierung 
könnte den Weiterbau der Pipeline - und weiterer - mit aller Gewalt 
durchsetzen, auch wenn er dabei einen sich ausbreitenden Widerstand 
riskiert.

... Today is a historic day both for the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe and 
for indigenous people everywhere. This pipeline never should have been 
routed near these sacred lands in the first place, and it absolutely 
never should have received permits without a thorough and meaningful 
discussion of the risks and benefits to affected Indian Tribe... (Auszug)

STANDING ROCK —

Statement from Standing Rock Sioux Tribe Chairman, Dave Archambault II:

“We wholeheartedly support the decision of the administration and 
commend with the utmost gratitude the courage it took on the part of 
President Obama, the Army Corps, the Department of Justice and the 
Department of the Interior to take steps to correct the course of 
history and to do the right thing.

“We want to thank everyone who played a role in advocating for this 
cause. We thank the tribal youth who initiated this movement. We thank 
the millions of people around the globe who expressed support for our 
cause. We thank the thousands of people who came to the camps to 
support us, and the tens of thousands who donated time, talent, and 
money to our efforts to stand against this pipeline in the name of 
protecting our water. We especially thank all of the other tribal 
nations and jurisdictions who stood in solidarity with us, and we 
stand ready to stand with you if and when your people are in need.

“With this decision we look forward to being able to return home and 
spend the winter with our families and loved ones, many of whom have 
sacrificed as well. We look forward to celebrating in wopila, in 
thanks, in the coming days.”
