The pipeline was modified over 140 times over 2 years in 389 meetings. That's why no other tribe were involved in the lawsuit. Native Americans tribes aren't all the same (check your privilege). They certainly got the letter kicking them off of their protest campsite on federal property sent right after Thanksgiving because someone in the fed has a twisted sense of humor.

What has become clear is that ETP is a shit company and uses contractors to escape scrutiny. They used private security who have less accountability than police and fucked up their permits which is why they're desperate to finish now since they're on a strict deadline or their contract with oil shippers gets renegotiated January 1. A report from the IEEFA suggests this won't be that important economically since oil prices are so low, compared to when ETP negotiated its contracts, that the pipeline may end up underutilized since Bakken shale won't be in high demand. This entire situation is political quicksand. Ranchers and the AFL-CIO have come out supporting the pipeline or against protesters so that sweet working white man vote is at stake which is probably why Obama is keeping quiet. Even Trump dumped his stock in ETP and hasn't shitposted on Twitter about this.
