Listen: DC3A Pipeline
0:00

MPR News with Tom Weber presents a program on The Dakota Access oil pipeline, which winds hundreds of miles from the oil fields of North Dakota to a pipeline hub in southern Illinois. In 2016, it was almost entirely built — except for a section under Lake Oahe, a Missouri River reservoir just south of Bismarck, N.D. Members of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe and a coalition of other groups camped out near the site of the river crossing in an effort to stop pipeline construction.

The program explores the dispute in North Dakota over the proposed pipeline, with reporting and reflections from some of the key players in the story.

Awarded:

2016 MBJA Eric Sevareid Award, first place in Documentary/Special - Large Market Radio category
