Wab Kinew stood up in the Manitoba Legislature on Tuesday to send a clear message — he stands with Standing Rock. However, construction of the $3.8-billion US pipeline has been protested for months by the Standing Rock Sioux and the tribe's allies. "Traditional Indigenous people do not see Standing Rock as activism. Standing Rock is an example of development without the consent of Indigenous peoples, Kinew said. The Standing Rock Medic and Healer Council said about 300 people were injured in the altercation on Sunday, 26 of them seriously.
