Has anybody been keeping up with what has been going on at Standing Rock concerning the pipeline?

The Army Corps and Dept of Interior has asked for a temporary halt to construction/destruction but the war isn’t over. Our brothers and sisters still need our prayers and support.
Yes I’ve been following from here. APTN host Cherl McKenzie is down there. There is a solidarity protest here tonight at 7:00 I’m trying to get to.
Construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline is ongoing at multiple sites 2 miles south off exit 123 heading west out of Bismarck, North Dakota. Share and spread the word!
President Obama has not halted construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline! DAPL is working as fast as possible, as far as the eye can see, to put it in the ground! #NoDAPL #KeepItInTheGround
Spread the word that we must stop the Dakota Access Pipeline! #WaterIsLife #RezpectOurWater #NoBakken
Thanks for sharing the Facebook page. I put it in favs and will check it daily. We had a protester come to the Dark Mountain powwow last weekend to share the latest news. They are trying to attend as many NA gatherings as they can to get the word out. We voiced our solidarity with the protest with an honor song and many of us slipped some money to Danny since he was heading straight back to the camp.
When will the general public realize that clean water is much more precious than oil? And when will people realize that this isn’t just an NDN issue? There are millions of people in the Missouri/Mississippi river basins that are downstream from this pipeline. Why is the mainstream media ignoring this story???
And it isn’t just Standing Rock…. this pipeline will cut the country in half. There is also a protest in Texas on the Pecos river.
Our problem here in NC is with Duke Power’s coal ash ponds contaminating rivers and groundwater…… but that is another matter entirely.
Here are some pictures from the Ottawa in Solidarity: No Dakota Access Pipeline gathering. #NoDAPL
We have our own local issue here with the Zibi development which is using an Anishinaabe word to name a condo project being built on a sacred site by the Chaudière Falls.
I hear Morton County is now charging protectors at Standing Rock with felonies for attaching themselves to heavy equipment. Sacred Stone Camp is hovering around 4,000 people in good spirits from accounts I’m seeing.
One of the ladies attending the Cabarrus powwow has posted a picture of a large sign at that powwow in support of Standing Rock. I’ll report on the Surry powwow tomorrow.
Mark. You are on the ball. Mike Gray was in Standing Rock during the dog attacks and gave a very moving speech during/after our honor dance and he is one of the founders of our ACP movement. There were pictures taken of all the dancers in the circle with the sign. Were those pictures put online? We also loaded a truck with winter supplies that will be leaving for Sacred Stone camp tonight.
The web is the only way I have to connect to my Siouan cousins. So guess that’s why I stay on top of it.
I’ll see if I can find any other pics posted.
Can’t find a pic of dancers with signs posted. Dwayne Painter posted pics of the dancers and the truck.
On the Coalition of Woodland Nations #NoACP Facebook group Dwayne and others have created images for some of the tribal reps of the ACP group.
One of my Facebook friends is the trip organizer for Re-Member, an outreach to Pine Ridge where we volunteer . I get updates through her. I will post them here when they are enlightening.

I follow Standing Rock through the Lakota Country Times on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lakotacountrytimes/?hc_ref=NEWSFEED They have a new video today.
I also tap into KILI radio occasionally both on facebook and on their website. http://www.kiliradio.org/

Video from Standing Rock yesterday firing tear gas, mace, rubber bullets, concussion grenades, and water cannons in sub-zero temperatures:

GoFundMe account for Sophia Wilansky’s medical bills, whose arm was blown open by a concussion grenade:

The video has had 4 million views already.
The GoFundMe page is at $88,874. It has grown by $4,000 in the time it’s taken me to write this.
Biwa to the water protectors!

**it’s about to get real.
I’m hearing rumors that at least some members of Rolling Thunder plan to deploy….. maybe some VFW riders, too.
I would hope that if 1000 veterans on motorcycles, in uniform, show up, the security forces will be wise enough to step aside and let the veterans complete their mission. Their main goal is to show the world that this isn’t just an ndn issue. It affects all of us. And it isn’t just about this pipeline, it is about our dependence on oil in general.
