The Durango Religious Society of Friends recently approved a minute (a statement of belief) about demonstrations taking place in North Dakota peacefully protesting the Dakota Access Pipeline.
The minute reads, in part: “Durango monthly meeting of the Religious Society of Friends supports the Baltimore Yearly Meeting Indian Affairs Committee minute in solidarity with the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe regarding the Dakota Access Pipeline.”
The committee’s minute reads, in part: “We urge the President and the federal executive branch agencies to honor the Federal Trust Responsibility to the indigenous people of our country and to immediately act to preserve the burials, lands and resources of the Standing Rock nation now and in the future.”
