I thought the understanding was that the Tribes had fair use of the surrounding area even if it was not "technically" their land or whatever. So my understanding is that their legal claim is that the pipeline could potentionally harm their fair use of this land , but also poison them all to death.

Yeah there's a reason that the pipeline doesn't just head east above Bismarck. They wouldn't tolerate it being built for fears that it'd poison them which is a real concern because regardless of what you think pipelines do leak.

They're arguing a utilitarian moral philosophy so its kind of pointless.
