WATERVILLE — 350 Central Maine will host a vigil at 4:30 pm. Tuesday, Nov. 15, at Universalist Unitarian Church, 69 Silver St.

The event is to support the thousands of indigenous activists who have set up resistance camps along the Dakota Access, tar sands oil pipeline route.

The proposed 1,172-mile Dakota Access Oil Pipeline would run within a half mile of the Standing Rock Sioux reservation and cross beneath the Missouri River. Opponents say the pipeline will adversely impact drinking water and disturb sacred tribal sites.
