armed National Guard is raiding Oceti Oyate camp. They are arresting the elders as we speak.

According to KFYR, a total of 76 people were arrested today at the raid on Last Child Camp.

reported around 50 Water Protectors arrested in raid of new treaty camp by National Guard.

Big Oil is using the National Guard as police.......very very chilling development.

Please post any updates if you can find them. All the above is from #Breaking on Twitter

New Standing Rock camp evicted by law enforcement

Arrests as police move on 'Last Child' camp, set up across from larger camp near Standing Rock


The Associated Press Posted: Feb 01, 2017 6:03 PM ET| Last Updated: Feb 01, 2017 6:03 PM ET

Law enforcement have evicted about 40 Dakota Access pipeline opponents from a camp the demonstrators set up on higher ground near their flood-prone main camp in southern North Dakota.

The Morton County Sheriff's Office says the camp, near the Standing Rock Sioux reservation, was on private property owned by the pipeline developer. But in Facebook posts, demonstrators described what they called the "Last Child" camp as a "peaceful assembly."

Sheriff's spokesman Rob Keller says there were two initial arrests and no reports of injuries. Live-streaming video on Facebook shows several officers in riot gear on the scene.

The main camp once housed thousands but is now down to about 300 people. The tribe has told those in camp to leave, and the camp is being cleaned up in advance of spring flooding season.

The original, larger camp (known as Oceti Sakowin or Oceti Oyate) will be subject to flooding soon. News reports indicate that the new, smaller Last Child Camp on the higher ground has been cleared by authorities.

Following our earlier report from Standing Rock on the police raid of the Last Child camp, reports began to roll in that police had taken down tipis and burned whatever remained.

Some of the livestreaming of these incidences was blocked, but what we have been given is as follows.

...

Shiyé Bidzííl once again live streamed and related the following message…

Chase IronEyes has been arrested!!!! And the police have been taking down tipis on new camp!! Because its on private land.

...

Following that livestream, Shiye reported that police were blocking roads and access to the main Oceti Sakowin camp, saying: “B.I.A. Has blocked road access to main camp by cannonball pit stop.”
