About 200 American Indians sang, danced and chanted Monday outside the state
Capitol to bring attention to environmental and sovereignty issues. Those
attending said they support the group, Idle No More. Many oppose TransCanada's
Keystone XL pipeline, which would move crude oil from Canada and North Dakota
to the Gulf Coast.
They said they are concerned the project is harming the environment and could
decimate tribal lands....
Others said they support the federal lawsuit filed by the Chickasaw and Choctaw
nations against the state of Oklahoma in 2011, seeking to maintain control of
the water in southeastern Oklahoma. The suit has been delayed while the two
sides continue to work with a court-appointed mediator.
They also said they are disappointed Gov. Mary Fallin signed legislation passed
in 2011 that eliminated the Oklahoma Indian Affairs Commission and established
a liaison post in her office....
