Intel Update
a. Protesters in the Standing Rock, ND area are dwindling in population. Through
social media posts, it is evident most have squandered their financial backing
and attempting to relocate to other camps throughout the country or return to
their respective home of records. The few remaining in ND are focused on
spreading propaganda to maintain their established social media followings and
attempt to solicit more funds from likeminded individuals.
b. Social media indicates there is a large following of protesters from ND planning
to relocate in Iowa, with a much smaller number scouting locations for new
camps in ND and/or SD. It is unlikely there will be another gathering of
protesters as large as Standing Rock at its peak in the country, however violent
confrontations with law enforcement could trigger a drastic increase of support
given the societal climate towards law enforcement.
c. The Morton County Agriculture Department is circulating the following estimate
to landowners and residents in vicinity of the Sacred Stone Camps: 544
households were affected by the protest with an estimated $15,000 to $20,000
in individual damages, 23 livestock were killed or missing and 34 were injured.
The department also said that they spent 200 man hours dealing with pest
infested firewood brought by protesters and 700 hours working on "protestrelated activities”.
Past 24 Hours
a. DAPL Security chased off (2) females taking pictures of AR 127.
b. Assisted and provided support to Law enforcement with the on-going security of
Camp 2.
c. Continued monitoring of protester activity in the remaining camps and the
migration of those leaving the Standing Rock, ND area through social media
posts.
d. Morton County Agriculture Department released an estimate of damages
created by protesters.

Intel Update
a. The Earth Mother Community Education Camp in Iowa name has been changed
to “Little Creek” camp. Christine Nobiss did not want the camp to become public
so soon, but has accepted the revelation as a positive reason. Christine also
seemed to sway Indigenous Iowa group away from direct association with Little
Creek.
b. The reason several key protestor and leadership members were collocated in
Grinnell IA, was due to a “workshop” for alt-left ecoterrorism/activism training.
c. Christine Nobiss described Little Creek camp’s motive to serve as a Think
Tank/Actions/Resistance Camp. Christine also described the Iowa camp as a R&R
spot for protestors traveling to and from Energy Project protests across the
country.
d. Cedric Goodhouse and Family were the guest of honors to start the ceremonial
fire at the Iowa camp inauguration. The Iowa camp was ONCE AGAIN described
as a healing camp for those with alleged PTSD triggered from their experiences
from DAPL protests.
e. In order to be allowed into camp, waivers must be signed for legality purposes
due to private land. No weapons, no drugs, expectations of mandatory
communal work are required by the people staying there.
f. JD Goodhouse identified as “director” of Camp Little Creek.
g. An official Facebook page for the camp with the Chain of Command and
structure has been created.

its worthiness.
