I'm a Native dude (Lakota Tribe). Generally speaking I hate when either side of the political aisle bring us into conversation for reasons like this. It's a bad example of the original subject.
The above case you mentioned has a little bit more nuance involved. This wasn't so much woke as it was the US having to rapidly back-peddle their enforcement of laws because that pipeline crossed into territory protected by US treaty and thus by their own agreement the US had no claim to continue.
