#NoDAPL (No Dakota Access Pipeline) is a Twitter hashtag and social media campaign that supported protests and encampments attempting to stop the construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline. The Standing Rock Sioux Tribe argued that the 1,172-mile-long pipeline’s construction would threaten the tribe’s drinking water and sacred sites due to its proximity to the Standing Rock Indian Reservation in North Dakota. 4 15 4
