Standing Rock



Students read an article about the Dakota Access Pipeline on www.timeforkids.com.  They discovered that the pipeline would transport oil from North Dakota to Illinois.  The Standing Rock Sioux object to the pipeline because they fear that a spill would contaminate their water supply and the pipeline traverses a burial ground.  

The students began to ask questions about the protest at Standing Rock.  We invited Linda Roy to visit our classroom to talk about her experience visiting Standing Rock.  Being a talented photographer, Linda was able to share her story through amazing photos like the ones included below.
