#5 In this regard, the right to prior and informed consent should always prevail.

10-4 there Papa Bear. But they had over 60 meetings and none of the tribes could be bothered to show up. And as far as that "ancestral lands" claim goes, they're going under a resivoir that didn't exist until the 1960's.

#6 HotAir: Vatican: No, the Pope did not announce opposition to the Dakota Access pipeline

"A Vatican spokesperson said after the session, however, that it’s wrong to infer a reference to any specific situation in the pope’s words.

“Pope Francis made no explicit reference to any concrete case,” Paloma Garcia Ovejero, the Vatican’s deputy spokesperson, told Crux.

“Evidently, he’s informed of the numerous problems that affect indigenous peoples, but there’s no element in his words that would give us a clue to know if he was talking about any specific cases,” Garcia Ovejero said."
