dakota: The 1,172-mile pipeline would stretch from the oil-rich Bakken Formation -- a vast underground deposit where Montana and North Dakota meet Canada -- southeast into South Dakota, Iowa and Illinois, according to CNN.

The "Divergent" and "Snowden" movie actress was placed in handcuffs and taken into custody for trespassing while protesting the proposed Dakota Access Pipeline on Monday afternoon, the spokesperson said. Thousands of people from more than 200 Native American tribes have supported the Standing Rock Sioux efforts to protect their lands, waters and sacred sites during construction, the tribe said.
