This article from Fair.org is a good example of the media bias in the United States. This is an important story that connects to Hawai’i with the announcement by the Department of the Interior “final rule” that “aims to re-establish a government-to-government relationship with ‘the Native Hawaiian community’.”  Read this story in Civil Beat if you would like to learn more.  

I found this paragraph on the Dakota Access Pipeline “Quick Facts About Dakota Access Pipeline” and thought it was interesting considering the approach they have taken.

“Protecting landowner interests and the local environment is a top priority of the Dakota Access Pipeline project. As an operating principle, Dakota Access Pipeline is committed to working with individual landowners to make accommodations, minimize disruptions, and achieve full restoration of impacted land. We will listen to and address questions from the community, landowners and other interested stakeholders about the project, proposed routes, landowner communications and more. It is our intent to live up to our promises of openness, honesty and responsiveness before, during and after construction and throughout operations.”
