Thing About Skins: "Is this a new thing, working for environmental justice?"

Greg: "I don't think it's a new thing at all. I also don't think it's all just environmental justice. Why our org Wica Agli originally got involved in the opposition in the first place is because the KXL pipeline would bring the man camps. So, we know that statistically native women are perpetrated against far more than any other ethnicity in this country. One of every 3 native women are sexually assaulted. Eighty-six percent of the perpetrators are non-native. And because of jurisdictional issues, 100% of the time we can't do a damn thing about it! In the small town of Watford city, ND located in the Bakken Oil Fields, the estimated sexual assault is increased by 70%! Seventy percent! In our area TransCanada has proposed to station two man camps of 1,200 men per. That's a total of 2,400 non-native men accessing our reservation and potentially matching Watford City’s sexual assaults. I'll be dammed if I allow that to happen in our community!"
