in rain, snow, and 30 degree temps, thousands of DAP demonstrators arrive at the White House.
WASHINGTON — Thousands of demonstrators, including members of dozens of indigenous tribes, marched through the streets of the nation’s capital on Friday morning, capping a four-day protest against the Dakota Access Pipeline and President Donald Trump.
With a combination of rain and snow falling and temperatures in the high 30s, protesters gathered at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers headquarters before heading toward the White House, chanting “You can’t drink oil, keep it in the soil” as they marched.
The Native Nations March, organized by the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe and the Indigenous Environmental Network, comes a month after the Army greenlighted completion of the Dakota Access Pipeline without an environmental study.
En route to the White House, protesters stopped in front of Trump International Hotel, where they erected a teepee, danced and chanted. At around 11:45 a.m., the gathering reached Lafayette Square, just north of the White House front lawn.
