CANNON BALL - Around the time Standing Rock’s first camp was pitched against the Dakota Access Pipeline, a deadly poison was spread across thousands of acres in the area by a rancher intent on killing prairie dogs.
Six eagles, a buffalo, prairie dogs, and an antelope may have died because of the poison, investigators from the United States Environmental Protection Agency and the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe report. Questions have arisen as to whether humans who traveled to the area last…

CANNON BALL - Inch by inch, coil by razor-tipped coil, Standing Rock activists near the Dakota Access Pipeline drill pad.
During the past week marches launched from the main camp outside of Standing Rock targeted the east side of the pipeline near the Missouri River and Backwater Bridge, which is still militarized with razor wire, cement blocks, and recently the addition of an Avenger weapon system -- a lightweight surface-to-air missile unit capable of being armed with eight Stinger…

On December 21st, 2016, James Reynolds, an attorney from the prosecution team against Leonard Peltier, penned an open letter to Obama requesting his clemency. He states in his letter that granting Leonard clemency is “in the best interest of Justice.” A huge statement for a prosecuting attorney who put someone in jail for 40 years and accused them of murder.
Reynolds however topped it in a subsequent interview with the New York Daily News published on January 3rd stating, in regards…

FARGO - As state politicians ponder legalizing drivers running down protesters on public roads, hundreds of Fargo women will march on the state’s capitol in Bismarck.
On the day Donald Trump takes office, they want answers, particularly to one question: how do we move forward in the face of fear that this incoming administration is causing for too many of us?
The Women’s March on Bismarck is a sister march of the Women’s March on Washington, according to the group’s Facebook…

FARGO – He no longer resembles the American Nazi he was 10 years ago during a recruitment drive in Fargo. He’s forgotten where he last put his braunhemden, or brown shirt, his black tie, and Nazi pin. The imperious swastika armband once wrapped around his left arm has also been packed away.
“Not the best way to convert people, I believe,” Nick Chappell said. “The purpose was to grab attention, which it did.”
Once a rising star in the American Nazi party, he left the…

BISMARCK - North Dakota National Guard units, 1,300 law enforcement officers, 585 arrests, and 22 million dollars apparently isn’t enough for the Peace Garden State to stop Standing Rock’s fight against the Dakota Access Pipeline, politicians report.
State politicians are now calling on the Bureau of Indian Affairs to help remove activists from camps along the Cannonball River.
“We want more BIA law enforcement officers working with our state and local law enforcement to move…

FARGO – The time-honored Fourth Estate, government’s watchdog for centuries, faces an enemy more brutal than any dictator.
Fake news.
Governments, police departments, and corporations all spread their versions of truth, propaganda, that many in the Peace Garden State accept as irrefutable truth. Their reports must be scrutinized at least as much as private reports if journalists are to live up to the title first given by British politician Edmund Burke in 1797.
A new group, recently…

BISMARCK – The same prejudices that sent 38 Dakota Native Americans to the gallows in Minnesota 154 years ago still exist in the Peace Garden State today. Parallels between the broken treaties that sparked the six-week US-Dakota War of 1862 and the current fight against the Dakota Access Pipeline contain undeniable similarities, red man and white man say.
Standing Rock Sioux Chairman Dave Archambault II has repeatedly stated the Sioux tribe is not only fighting water and land rights,…

While Arctic winds and near-record snows pummel the prairies, all is not quiet on the pipeline front.
The camp that drew tens of thousands of supporters from across the world, Oceti Sakowin, or the Seven Council Fires Camp, has been shut down. The sacred fire lit continuously since July has been extinguished, but a new fire has taken its place. The former camp is now known as All Nations Camp, according to attorney Chase Iron Eyes. Standing Rock Sioux Tribe Chairman Dave…

CANNONBALL – Blizzards and biting Arctic winds are all in a winter day’s work for most North Dakotans, but to the unprepared the cold can become a struggle between life and death. Due in part to winter conditions this week the chairman of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe has asked everyone at Oceti Sakowin to go home.
The main road into the camps against the Dakota Access Pipeline has been blocked for weeks, forcing travellers to the area down a longer, winding road. The Backwater…
