The Army Corps of Engineers cited "reduced proximity to residential areas" in the Bismarck routing change and more tellingly calling it a "“high consequence area.” ("In its environmental assessment, the Corps rejected the Bismarck route to protect wells that serve the municipal water supply, according to according to The Bismarck Tribune.") We could play ethics here and say, sure, a more highly populated (albeit white) area is at more jeopardy than a less densely populated area (by the Indian reservations). So while perhaps Snopes is right by saying 'white outcry' did not primarily cause a re-route of the proposed route per se (although I'm sure there was some, either public and/or private outcry that I will not take the time today to find)... even those on the record statements can be seen to assert very plainly and essentially "WE WILL NOT ROUTE IT NEAR OUR POPULATED [WHITE PEOPLE] CITIES but WE WILL TRY TO ROUTE IT OVER TRADITIONAL SACRED INDIAN LANDS AND JUST UPSTREAM FROM THE INDIAN WATER SUPPLY." You can spin that as you'd like. Just imagine being on the Indian Reservation and seeing that unfold.
