Big Oil’s Bought Politicians vs. The Great Sioux Nation | The Political Vigilante | Graham Elwood

In this video, Graham Elwood examines reporting by independent journalist Sarah Sunshine Manning in Truthdig detailing how indigenous tribal nations across the Great Sioux Nation and grassroots environmental organisations are banding together to resist TransCanada's Keystone XL pipeline, signing the International Treaty to Protect the Sacred following a catastrophic 210,000+ gallon oil spill in South Dakota and Nebraska's corrupt regulatory approval.
