Good day Missoula Community,<br>
<br>
We have received more news concerning The North Dakota Access
Pipeline (DAPL) resistance movement. It has been gaining more
attention by mainstream media, which is good. But this is
unfortunately at the cost of hundreds being assaulted, wounded and
arrested by local, state, and federal law enforcement. The
protection of our water and sacred lands is being met with the
brutality of age old practices. Far too many have suffered and
died for the interest of oil companies, and industrial trade. <b>Individuals
arrested this week were apparently housed in dog kennels.</b> <br>
<u>Please read the article below. </u><br>
<br>
If you are outraged by this situation, but aren't sure how to get
involved, please consider gathering warm winter gear and supplies
for our Water Protectors (not protesters) to help aid their
effort.<br>
<font size="+1"><b><font color="#cc0000"><br>
The UC Gameroom</font></b></font> is currently accepting

<ul>
<li>Tents and canopies (tarps and other shelter gear are also

<li>Sleeping bags and wool blankets</li>
<li>Non-perishables like beans and rice (other foods are okay

<li>Medical and hygiene supplies (Bandages, feminine hygiene,
healing salve, toilet paper etc.)</li>
<li>Healing Teas and tinctures</li>
<li>Bandanas and goggles to protect against mace<br>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Your support could save lives this winter as hundreds to
thousands stand their ground to protect what is sacred. Water.
Land. Life. Without protection, the Energy Transfer Partnership,
Army Corp of Engineers, and the Obama Administration will
continue to put our environment at risk. This movement could
potentially result in policies that recognize natural resources,
like water and fertile land, as being more worthy of protection
than our most dominant forms of energy (i.e. coal and oil) . As
well as the mending of broken treaties, and the implementation
of indigenous rights around the world. <b>Just a side note:</b>
The Energy Transfer Partnership is partially owned by Donald
Trump and their CEO Kellie Warren also donated to his
presidential campaign. Please consider where our presidential
candidates stand on this issue and where their investments lie.
Where their campaign donations are coming from are also
indicators of who they will put first should they be elected. <br>

After a night of chaotic clashes with police on the
front lines in a months-long protest, Native American
activists complained about the force wielded to drive
protesters from the path of a pipeline they contend
will desecrate tribal lands and put their lone source
of drinking water at risk.</p>

At least 141 people were arrested Thursday after
hundreds of police officers in riot gear, flanked by
military vehicles releasing high-pitched “sound
cannon” blasts, moved slowly forward, firing clouds of
pepper spray at activists who refused to move.

Standing Rock Tribal Chairman David Archambault II
called for a Justice Department investigation into the
police tactics. Amnesty International announced Friday
it was sending a human rights delegation to
investigate and Sen. Bernie Sanders asked the White

Authorities have said all along that they have used

activists to retreat from the path of the pipeline and
return to the camp where they have been gathered for
months.</p>

Most of those arrested were expected to be charged
with criminal trespassing, engaging in a riot and
conspiracy to endanger by fire, according to the
sheriff's department. Several fires broke out during
the confrontation, and sheriff’s officials said seven
protesters used “sleeping dragon” devices to attach
themselves to vehicles or other heavy objects. The
maneuver typically involves protesters handcuffing
themselves together through PVC pipe, making it
difficult for authorities to remove them using bolt
cutters to break the handcuffs.</p>

State and county police, the North Dakota National

For the most part, protesters remained peaceful during

“The only gunshots that were fired would have come
