Standing Rock Sioux Tribe

The Standing Rock Sioux Tribe is a Native American tribe located primarily in North and South Dakota. They are known for their rich cultural heritage and history, including their traditional ways of life and governance. In recent years, they gained international attention during the Dakota Access Pipeline protests, where they opposed the construction of a pipeline near their land, citing concerns about environmental impact and the protection of sacred sites. The protests highlighted issues of Indigenous rights, environmental justice, and the relationship between Native tribes and the U.S. government.
