CANNON BALL, N.D. — After the biggest victory in the months-long Dakota Access Pipeline saga, the brutal North Dakota winter showed itself in full force.
The jubilation among the thousands gathered here
when the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers denied a permit for the
controversial Dakota Access Pipeline to cross the Missouri River, was
followed Monday by a day of somber — and cold — reflection.
Protesters and activists — who call themselves
"water protectors" — began to come to the realization that what they had
won could easily be undone by President-elect Donald Trump.
The business mogul-turned-commander-in-chief supported the completion of
the Dakota Access Pipeline on the controversial route proposed by Energy Transfer Partners, according to an aide's memo recently obtained by the Associated Press.
