Pope presses indigenous consent rights over lands amid pipeline row
Pope Francis urged that native communities must give prior informed consent before any economic activity on ancestral lands. He spoke to Indigenous representatives at a U.N. agricultural meeting as the Dakota Access pipeline faces lawsuits by the Cheyenne River and Standing Rock Sioux over risks to water and cultural sites. The Vatican framed consent as essential for peaceful government relations with indigenous peoples, amid broader U.N. rights declarations and U.S. policy shifts on the pipeline.
