Respect the lands of all people

A lot of water has passed under the bridge since the rally in Indian Country opposing the Keystone pipeline. The people stood their ground, while the wind whistled and people huddled in their teepees, waiting for help from the government.

While it is encouraging that two presidents choose to listen, our delegation in Montana decided to allow the pipeline through Indian Country. One senator sits on an Indian committee and the other sits on the sidelines with his finger in the air. We need a consistent policy that respects the lands of all people.
