In a penny war to support the Standing Rock protectors protesting the Dakota Access Pipeline, Native American Students at Cornell collected 17,010 coins, totaling $788.95.
“The fact that they’re placing this pipeline just half a mile over the reservation, after [the Army Corps of Engineers] declared that it wasn’t safe for Bismarck means that it [probably] isn’t safe [for the reservation either],” said Elizabeth Chi ’18, an officer for Climate Justice Cornell.
The structure is a visual symbol of the 1792 Central New York Military Tract, which destroyed indigenous lands to create 28 new townships now known as Central New York.
