WASHINGTON — The Cowboy and Indian Alliance kicked off a five-day protest Tuesday in front of the Capitol, demonstrating against the proposed expansion of the Keystone XL Pipeline. If President Barack Obama approves the plan, the pipeline will run through both Dakotas, Nebraska and Kansas. Landowners, farmers and Native Americans who live along the proposed route were in attendance Tuesday. The protest will continue with an encampment on the National Mall throughout the week and wind up with a march to the White House on Saturday.
