<\/p>\r\nWe started to cover the Keystone XL Pipeline and its predecessor Keystone I in our newspaper, Native Sun News Today, 13 years ago. Our ace reporter Talli Nauman saw the Lakota people\u2019s opposition to it, and she has been writing news about the resistance to these and other pipelines as it has grown ever since.\r\n

<\/p>\r\nSouth Dakota\u2019s mainstream media didn\u2019t have a clue until Talli began explaining it to them. Because of her journalistic efforts, Native anti-pipeline leadership gained worldwide coverage. \r\n

Pipelines continue to threaten our treaty territory, water and relatives and we must not forget those that are still standing on sacred ground in front of giant enemies. @CRSTChairman #HonorTheTreaties #MniWiconi #NoKXL #NoDAPL #StopLine3 https:\/\/t.co\/8nX4Mizb7M<\/p>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/div>\n\t

<\/p>\r\nAnd now, along with so many Lakota people in struggle, Talli\u2019s groundbreaking work is vindicated with the Canadian TC Energy Inc. oil giant\u2019s decision to cancel construction. What if she hadn\u2019t insisted on covering more than just the company\u2019s side of the stories? How would the reading public understand this outcome? \r\n

<\/p>\r\nSadly, nearly all of the state media coverage of the cancellation has been totally negligent in following Talli\u2019s example. She always says every story has more than two sides. \r\n

<\/p>\r\nA newscast on KOTA-TV in Rapid City last week gave only one side of the story, the white man\u2019s side. Even the anchorman on the news, a white guy, said he had talked several people about the cancellation and many of them were upset about the jobs that would be lost. \r\n
