The Highlights
The MMA experienced a visit from a previous sewage producer who was looking for a
“Airplane Ride” and much to my disappointment, I was unavailable. He packed up his spouse
and child and decided to head down to the old camp. (Perhaps he is foul with current events)
Upon reaching the BIA checkpoint, Mr. Producer decided to get violent with the BIA agents
and was subsequently body slammed by a BIA Officer, he was arrested and so was his spouse.
I believe the child went to Child Protective Services. So goes another day by.
On another note in IOWA the Earth Mother Community Education Camp AKA EMCEC had an
open house on their newly christened 14 acre private camp. This is supposed to be a “training
camp” and is approximately 40 miles from the Cambridge Pump Station.

Intel Update
a. The incident at the MMA indicates the protester’s level of frustration and
attempts to use a target of opportunity to obtain propaganda footage. Events
like this are typically live streamed for propaganda efforts, though this event was
not. The male’s subsequent arrest at a BIA checkpoint was live streamed and is
gaining social media traction, specifically attempting to incite outrage towards
the BIA.
b. Protesters remaining in Camps 4 and 7 believe a raid and eviction is imminent.
There are no identified instances of the remaining protesters calling for violent
action in retaliation for the pending eviction, though the incident could quickly
escalate due to the remaining individuals hardline stance and attitude towards
the BIA
Past 24 Hours
a. One male and one female probed the MMA, asking to fly and belligerently
engaged DAPL personnel. The male was then arrested at a BIA checkpoint
approximately 30 minutes after leaving the MMA.
b. Assisted and provided support to Law enforcement with the on-going security of
Camp 2.
c. Continued monitoring of protester migration

Intel Update
a. Mni Wiconi Fundraiser ISO Iowa Camp
The event ran from 1900-2400, in the Wildwood Saloon on the outskirts of
downtown Iowa City. Admission to the event was $25 cover charge at the door,
plus donations. Iowa Security Team identified approximately 25-30 vehicles in
the parking lot at any time, with mostly Iowa License plates but also several
Illinois plates as well. A band out of Chicago was playing music and asking for
donations for production costs in addition to the cover fee. The IL/IA license
plates suggest the potential liaison and coordination for the new Iowa camp
moving forward. Due to the demographic of Iowa City being college students,
(approximately 33,000 students attend the University of Iowa) a shuttle was
running from Iowa City Yacht Club to the event, making transportation easier for
the targeted audience and for recruiting efforts.
b. Shiyé Bidiil live streamed Saturday night from a Grinnell event ISO Iowa Camp
being inaugurated 26 Feb1 7 in Williamsburg, IA. Shiyé Bidiil stated that relatives
from Canada and other out of state areas would be joining in solidarity with the
Camp. Shiyé Bidill will be running Iowa camp security and drone surveillance.
from Sacred Stone was present in Grinnell, further collaborating
with our previous assessment that financial support would be funneled from
other donations. Shiyé Bidiil has asked for Didi Banerji to come to camp as a
medic. Other key players present were Prolific,
Eddie Too Swift Simpson,
Thomas Touches Lightning Bettles, and
from the Meskwaki
tribe was also at the Grinnell event.
c. The Iowa Camp is described as a fallback point for all "water protestors" and a
"safe space" for them to rest, retrain, and resupply IOT continue harassing antiEnergy Project campaigns.
Past 24 Hours
a. Drove to Iowa City, Iowa to attend the Mni Winconi Fundraiser event at the
Wildwood Saloon in Iowa City. Upon arriving, noticed about 25-30 cars in the
parking lot, but people walking up to the entrance, then turning around leaving.
The bar was charging a $25.00 cover charge to “raise money for the protesters of
the pipeline” as told by the tie-dyed shirt wearing, long-haired, patchouli oil
smelling doorman at the bar. At this point, decided not to give the #NoDAPL
crowd $50.00 and departed the bar. The outrageous cover charge was not

mentioned on the event page for the fundraiser, and it was catching a lot of
patrons off guard at the door.
b. We drove by the US Bank and Wells Fargo Banks in Iowa City and found that on
the 22 Feb, protesters had painted “RESIST” on the Wells Fargo bank building
and “F$%K DAPL” and “RESIST” on the US Bank building. Wells Fargo had not yet
made an effort to remove the graffiti form the building, but US Bank had made a
remarkable effort to remove the graffiti from the building and was not very
noticeable to the average person passing by the building.
c. The fire at the Wells Fargo complex in West Des Moines on the 22d was not a
case of arson. According to a female employee from there, the fire started in a
break room by a TV with faulty wiring. The fire travelled up the wall to the 3d
and 4th floors. The building will be closed approx. 6-8 weeks.
