In an extended interview with one of the first people arrested in the resistance movement against the #Dakota_Access_pipeline, Dr. Sara Jumping Eagle explains, “as a physician, I’m very aware of what the health effects could be of a pipeline spill … among our communities.” Jumping Eagle is a pediatrician and a member of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe.

#AMY_GOODMAN: Well, on Sunday, while we were on the reservation, we spoke more with Dr. Sara Jumping Eagle about why she, as a pediatrician, opposes the $3.8 billion Dakota Access pipeline.

DR. SARA JUMPING EAGLE: Anpétu wasté. I’m Dr. Sara Jumping Eagle. [speaking in Lakota]

AMY GOODMAN: You were one of the first people arrested during these resistance movements against the Dakota Access pipeline. What—when was it, and why did you do it as a doctor here?

Two documentary film-makers are facing decades in prison for recording US oil pipeline protests, with serious felony charges that first amendment advocates say are part of a growing number of attacks on freedom of the press.

The controversial prosecutions of Deia Schlosberg and Lindsey Grayzel are moving forward after a judge in North Dakota rejected “riot” charges filed against Democracy Now! host #Amy_Goodman for her high-profile reporting at the Dakota Access pipeline protests.
