The Highlights
Protestors in ND staged five separate events. The tribal elders held a peaceful demonstration
at Legion Park in Mandan and then moved onto the Law Enforcement Center. While the
elders were in Mandan, the Red Warrior Group reportedly acted without their approval and
whipped protestors in action at the North Bridge on HWY 1806 and at Turtle Hill. More
protestors were able to cross the water at Turtle Hill and gain a foothold at the base of the
hill, but LE successfully prevented any further advancement. Separate demonstrations also
occurred at Fairview Cemetery and the DAPL office in Bismarck.

a.
Social Media reporting suggest that the Red Warrior Group used today?s planned
peaceful protest at Legion Park as a distraction to occupy the North Bridge and
Turtle Island withoutthe con sent of the Tribal Elders and Camp Leadership. This
appears to have caused even more dissention between factions in the camps.
Protestors have been seen buying a signi?cant amount of food in the Bismarck;r
Mandan area. Social Media is asking protestors traveling to the camps to bring
their own food. Tesoro Gas Station by the Prairie Knights Casino has continually
sold out of most food and dry goods. The usual order is worth $30,000 and was
previously made every two weeks; it is now made every Tuesday.
The Grassroots AIM group {not af?liated with older AIM members] provides
security at Camp 2. There are separate elements for Camps 3 and 4.

Protestors formed up on the north bridge with a semi-truck to apparently
remove the bu rned-out vehicles on the bridge.
Protestors crossed the water with canoes and attempted to get on top of Turtle
Hill. One protestor started a fire on the side ofthe hill with a ?are gun.
Protestors went to the Fairview Cemetery in Bismarck, ND to protest the
perceived lack of reverence for the fictional bu rial grounds on the ROW and for
thegraves on top of Turtle Hill. This caused a negative backlash from the local
populace and led to one of the first instances of a demonstration
group being mentioned in the media.
. A protestor demonstration near the DAPL of?ce in Bismarck caused a brief
evacuation of one DAPL employee.
Elders organized a peaceful protest at the Legion Park in Mandan, ND at

This will be the third trip from Winnipeg to Standing Rock and is being organized
in part by Thomas-Mueller I350.org member}. These in diyiduals feel they can
bring expertise in fighting pipelines to the Standing Rock Protest.
Analyst Note: The inclusion of protestors from outside the United States will help
build support for Standing Rock. They will likely bring tactics used in the Energy
East Pipeline protests to the DAPL protest. These tactics include disruptiye
protests at goyernment functions, roadblocks, protests at pipeline sites, legal
proceedings, and coopting media to build support for the enyironmental
moyement. The number of people that make the trip will be less important than
the knowledge and skills they bring with them.
