AceShowbiz - Shailene Woodley returned to North Dakota on Thanksgiving Day. She couldn't contain her emotions as she joined other protesters to continue calling for a stop to Dakota Access pipeline which is being built on the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe sacred grounds.
"Today is a day that many call Thanksgiving, and it's a day where kids in elementary school in America are taught false narratives about our native brothers and sisters," the "Divergent" actress said.
"From the time we're little kids, we cut out in cardboard paper pictures of pilgrims and feasts and turkeys, and yet none of our children know the truth about not only what happened to Native Americans when Westerners decided to colonize this country, but what is still happening to Native Americans."
