At least nine anti-fossil fuel activists were arrested in multiple states Tuesday after allegedly shutting down five pipelines that transport crude oil from Canada’s tar sands into the United States.

The activists and support crews were arrested during the morning hours in Minnesota, Washington, North Dakota, and Montana, Climate Direct Action said in statement. In solidarity with Dakota Access Pipeline protests, activists said they used manual safety valves to shut down Enbridge’s Line 4 and 67, Kinder Morgan’s Trans-Mountain Pipeline, Transcanada’s Keystone Pipeline, and Spectra Energy’s Express Pipeline.

The Navajo and Apache were the last of the great Native American nations to be conquered at the end of the 19th Century. Using a scorched-earth policy, the tribes were massacred by Union troops under the command of Washington. Destruction of settlements and pastoral lands was instrumental in dispossessing the tribes, leading to their eventual subjugation.

Colonel Kit Carson was one of the pioneers of the «white man’s» war of extermination on the remaining rebellious Indian Nations. The Navajo and Apache had lived unperturbed for millennia in the southwest region of the North American continent, which would then become the modern states of Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico and Utah in the newly constituted «United States of America».

Today the Navajo and their Apache cousins are once again under threat. This time not from guns and burning of crops, but from the pollution caused by industrial mining.

Earlier this month, on August 5, a huge toxic spill of waste water from a disused gold mine in Colorado made international headlines when it flowed into several major rivers. Less publicised is that the contaminated waterways are vital for irrigation and drinking water in the Four Corners territory, upon which the Navajo people depend for their livelihoods.

The U.S. Senate defeated a bill to authorize construction of the Keystone XL oil pipeline, delivering a blow to Sen. Mary Landrieu, D-La., by members of her own party.

"I came here 18 years ago fighting to get here, fighting to stay here,'' Landrieu told reporters after the vote, "And I'm going to fight for the people of my state until the day that I leave. I hope that will not be soon.''

The bill failed to overcome a 60-vote threshold for passage by a narrow 59-41 decision. All 45 Republican senators voted for it, but Landrieu could not clinch the necessary last Democratic vote.
