WASHINGTON, Nov. 18 (UPI) -- Rosebud Sioux Tribe President Cyril Scott, chief of the South Dakota-based tribe, called the passage of the Keystone XL an "an act of war" on their people.
"We are a sovereign nation and we are not being treated as such," he said. "We will close our reservation borders to Keystone XL. Authorizing Keystone XL is an act of war against our people."
