The Washington Post reported that Army officials on Sunday said they will not approve an easement necessary to permit the controversial Dakota Access Pipeline to cross under Lake Oahe in North Dakota, marking a monumental victory for the Native American tribes and thousands of others who have flocked in recent months to protest the oil pipeline.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m happy as heck,\u201d said Everett Iron Eyes, a retired director of natural resources for the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe and one of the organizers of a camp protesters set up near the pipeline site. \u201cAll our prayers have been answered.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Officials in November had delayed the key decision, saying more discussion was necessary about the proposed crossing, given that it would pass very near the reservation of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe, whose leaders have repeatedly expressed fears that a spill could threaten the water supplies of its people.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"washingtonpost\"\u201cAlthough we have had continuing discussion and exchanges of new information with the Standing Rock Sioux and Dakota Access, it\u2019s clear that there\u2019s more work to do,\u201d Jo-Ellen Darcy, the Army\u2019s assistant secretary for civil works, said in a statement Sunday. \u201cThe best way to complete that work responsibly and expeditiously is to explore alternate routes for the pipeline crossing.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The victory for the Standing Rock Sioux and its allies could be short-lived, though. President-elect Donald Trump has vowed to support pipelines such as this one. And Kelcy Warren, the chief executive of the pipeline company Energy Transfer Partners, has been a major contributor to the Republican Party and Trump\u2019s campaign.<\/span><\/p>\n

Trump, who once owned a stake worth between $500,000 and $1 million in Energy Transfer Partners, has sold the shares, his spokeswoman Hope Hicks said. At the time of his most recent disclosure statement in May, Trump owned $100,000 to $250,000 of stock in Phillips 66, which has a 25 percent stake in the Dakota Access project.<\/span><\/p>\n

Iron Eyes said that \u201cwe shall remain vigilant regardless. We have witnessed the power of being peaceful and prayerful.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
