(4/17/19) On April 10, President Trump signed two executive orders meant to speed up the construction of pipelines like the Keystone XL (KXL) and other methods of transporting oil and natural gas across interstate and international borders. For residents of the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota, thousands of whom remain trapped after weeks of flooding caused by rising waters, the announcement was a slap in the face. “Trump’s decision to ram KXL through while our families suffer feels like being kicked while we’re down,” Oglala Sioux Tribe Tribal Chair Julian Bear Runner told reporter Alleen Brown of The Intercept in her article “Trump Pushes a New Pipeline Permit as Floods Devastate Native American Tribes.” In this episode of “TrumpWatch with Jesse Lent” on WBAI, Alleen is joined by Cheyenne River tribal chairman Harold Frazier for a discussion of how the new executive orders and other Trump administration policies could affect indigenous people in the region both in the short and long term.
