By Steven Mufson, The Washington Post In the Dakota language, the word “oahe” signifies “a place to stand on.” And that’s what the Standing Rock Sioux and its allies in the environmental and activist movements say they are doing: using Lake Oahe in North Dakota as a place to take a stand by setting up camps and blocking roads in order to block the controversial $3.7 billion Dakota Access pipeline. Their confrontations with police — who have responded with water cannons, pepper spray and rubber bullets – have steered attention to the 1,170-mile long oil pipeline project and its owner, Energy Transfer Partners.

    My soul looks back and wonders. The details are not hard to remember, at least some of them aren’t.
