Native Americans fight Texas pipeline using 'same model as Standing Rock'

The Two Rivers camp, protesting the Trans-Pecos pipeline, is the latest sign that the Standing Rock movement is inspiring indigenous-led activism across the US

Indigenous activists have set up camps in the Texas desert to fight a pipeline project there, the latest sign that the Standing Rock "water protector" movement is inspiring Native American-led environmental protests across the US.

The Two Rivers camp, located south of Marfa near the border, has attracted dozens of demonstrators in its first week to protest the Trans-Pecos pipeline, a 148-mile project on track to transport fracked natural gas through the Big Bend region to Mexico.
