About 75 people from around the country are planning to serve Thanksgiving dinner Thursday to about 2,000 protesters who are demonstrating against the Dakota Access oil pipeline in North Dakota.
The group is to include actress-activists Jane Fonda and Shailene Woodley.
The meal is set for late Thursday afternoon at a school in Fort Yates, which is near a camp where hundreds of protesters have gathered for months.
Fort Yates is on the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation. The tribe opposes the $3.8 billion pipeline that will skirt its reservation as it carries North Dakota oil to a shipping point in Illinois.
Opponents fear the pipeline will harm drinking water and Native American cultural sites. Pipeline developer Energy Transfer Partners disputes that and says the pipeline will be safe.
