Obama addresses Standing Rock

oh wait, this was in 2014..

"I know that throughout history, the United States often didn't give the nation-to-nation relationship the respect that it deserved," Obama said. "So I promised when I ran to be a president who'd change that — a president who honors our sacred trust, and who respects your sovereignty."

reminds me a bit of the silence when Occupy Wallstreet was violently crushed.
