This week on "Shadow Politics" our guest will be Stephanie Staie. Ms. Staie is an environmentalist with a Bachelor of Arts Degree from University of California @Santa Barbara who is taking an active role in the Dakota pipeline controversy. With her lineage to the Lakota Sioux, she is requesting people not to support the major banks that are providing financial capital for the pipeline. While the protests have drawn international attention and have been said to be "reshaping the national conversation for any environmental project that would cross the Native American land", there was limited mainstream media coverage of the events in the United States until early September.
