I was at the "Reject and Protect" march and rally last Saturday, April 26th in Washington, D.C. to stop the Keystone XL Pipeline. While I missed Neil Young, who spoke in the morning, I did get some photos and video of the march after they delivered a hand-painted tipi to President Obama at the American Indian Museum and then rallied on The National Mall where indigenous leaders from First Nations communities in Nebraska and Alberta along the pipeline route spoke and said prayers and then an indigenous rapper performed.
It was inspiring seeing the Cowboy Indian Alliance -- ranchers, landowners and indigenous communities from Nebraska who live along the route of the potential pipeline and don't want the threat of toxic tar sands oil leaking onto their land and into their water.
They brought a powerful message to the nation's capital that President Obama has a moral obligation to reject the Keystone XL Pipeline.
Here are photos:
