London, UK. 19th September 2016. A man uses a feather to waft smoke from a Lakota Sage smudge stick in an abalone shell bowl to bless people standing outside the US Embassy in solidarity with the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe threatened by the construction of a huge oil pipeline close to their reservation in North Dakota and the Missouri River. Several thousand from around 120 Native American tribes, as well as allies from around the world, are protesting at a camp there against the pipeline which threatens the water supply of the tribe and 8 million people who live downstream, and 70 have been arrested at gunpoint. Several sacred sites on the pipeline route have already been destroyed. Several speeches from Dakota including a live phone link-up were played after a ceremony involving both US and tribal flags.
