This jumble of private and public real estate creates significant administrative, political, and legal difficulties



I think that pretty much precludes selling the land to the highest bidder.

But why are we even talking about tribal lands?

I thought the first plan was to route it north of Bismark. What happened to that plan?

How so? Private land owners already exist within that system. Why can't the rest be sold to a private entity? That would immediately clarify who is in the right here, as the DAP would need rights granted from every land owner involved.

I believe this issue isn't even about tribal land, but the possibility that malfunctions in the pipeline could harm tribal land in the future.

I have no idea man. This shouldn't be an issue at all, but we have a combination of corruption in local and state government, Shady businessmen who used ED in at least on state to make some coin, and a collection of indian "activists" who have made a living pedaling 160 year old sob stories and lobbying for federal funds while bilking millions upon millions from their "tribes" through casino deals.
