The Censored News blog – dedicated to indigenous peoples and human rights – was one of the first places to report the oil spilled from a broken pipeline onto the Blackfeet Indian Reservation last week.

Details are still thin so far, but it looks like around 400-600 gallons leaked.

The Censored News story was posted Sunday. More traditional news organizations had the story Monday afternoon, but didn’t include much about the damage on the reservation.

Thanks to Destini Vaile (Blackfeet) and Reed Perry for sharing on the blog.
