Thousands marched through Washington DC on Sunday, to protest against the Dakota Access Pipeline and express their solidarity with the indigenous people of the Oceti Sakowin Camp in Dakota.
Since it was approved in late July, the 1,886-kilometre (1,172 mile) pipeline has sparked outrage among Native American communities and locals. The project, which would cost around $3,8 billion (€3.3 billion), is expected to carry crude oil from the North Dakota region, north of the Standing Rock Sioux tribe's lands, to South Dakota and Iowa to an existing pipeline in Patoka, Illinois, if completed.
The construction of the pipeline was initially halted by US President Barack Obama's administration in September, but activists have voiced their concern that President-elect Donald Trump will revive the project when he takes over the office in 2017.
