The Voices of Standing Rock: Connecticut Tribal Members Reflect on Protest, History

Since the summer, thousands have stood up against the Dakota Access Pipeline -- a multi-billion dollar project, which would carry crude oil through the Dakotas, Iowa, and Illinois. 

Their protests highlight growing concerns about the project and itsimpact on the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe.

This hour, we get the latest on that story. We hear from a national reporter and talk to some local tribal members who traveled to Standing Rock.

Later, we also find out why plans to expand Connecticut’s natural gas infrastructure have stalled. What does this mean for the state's energy future? We take a closer look.
