Can someone remind me what exactly the issue with the pipeline was? Why are the Natives protesting this-- environmental reasons or because it's passing through a sacred patch of grass or something?

The main issue was that it passes through the Nebraska Sandhills, an important ecosystem, and the Ogallala Aquifer, an important source of fresh water, and the potential for them being polluted by oil spills. And of course, whether it is wise to continue to encourage fossil fuel use.
