The Highlights
Protesters have been discussing re-occupying U.S. Army Corp of Engineer property near the
Cannon Ball Ranch. The Cheyenne River camp is much more organized than previous camps.
Previous damage to the valves in South Dakota and Iowa are leading to new information with
possible leads coming from the Native Roots Group. We have sources in the camp working to
confirm this information.

Intel Update
a. At approximately 1210 hrs. Morton County Sheriff’s Department found the body
of a deceased white Caucasian male on the shore line near the mouth of the
Cannon Ball River on U.S. Army Corp of Engineer land. This site is located just
south of the former OP3 on DAPL property. The male subject was identified as a
citizen of the Republic of Macedonia. Morton County was initially notified about
the body by three fishermen who were fishing in the area. The body appears to
have been in the water for quite some time.
a) Analyst Comment: This situation is still developing and will be updated as
more information is gathered. At this time, it is unknown if the deceased
was affiliated with the protests at Standing Rock.
b. Source Reporting - Protesters at the Cheyenne River Camp seem to be planning
for a large gathering of protesters in the near future. The camp will be used as a
staging area. Initial estimates state that 300 to 400 protesters may be returning to
the area in the coming weeks. Protesters have been discussing re-occupying U.S.
Army Corp of Engineer property near the Cannon Ball Ranch.
b) Analyst Comment: This situation will be closely monitored for any new
influx of protesters or new camps.
c. Source Reporting - Cheyenne River Camp near Cannonball, ND is welcoming to
newcomers. They are putting guests/camp workers up in the military tents,
which are all heated. The camp does not allow any live streaming or other social
media activity. The teepees are being used, but have restricted access; only
spiritual persons are allowed in the teepees. The camp is much more organized
than previous camps.
d. Protesters are discussing a new tactic of integrating into the communities instead
of forming camps so they are harder for law enforcement to identify and track.
Past 24 Hours
a. Maintained security at valves ND-280 to ND-430 using roving patrols.
b. Valve sites inspections:

which may impact DAPL operations.

2. IOWA
i.

Intel Update
a. Source reporting indicates arrival of more activists that participated in Standing
Rock, as well as activist groups arriving from Trans Pecos Pipeline camp and Sabal
trail camp arriving daily. Camp funds have expanded with the purchase of solar
cooking instruments and an unknown amount of supplies.
b.
visited Little
Creek Camp. He gave a speech about the importance of the camp in Iowa,
further suggesting the increasing popularity and potential political influence of
the camp.
a) He advocated the importance of environmental activism in Iowa because
Iowa gets national media attention because they have been first to
participate in the presidential caucuses since 1972. He claims this often
allows policy decisions made in IA to influence the country.
b) He further spoke about how environmental awareness brought through
press and media attention can slow policy decisions and bring public
pressure, even from out of state. He stated communities and
organizations concerned with environmental justice who gather (like
those in Little Creek Camp) can influence policy decisions that can protect
our shared interests

a. Bottom-line: The current efforts and preparations of the Illinois environmental
activists indicate the potential for large scale demonstrations against DAPL and
other pipeline projects, (ETP and others) is probable. Chicago is a key indicator of
the ongoing rise of the progressive movement and the hub of financial support
for that movement. The current organizational efforts are highly disciplined and
are applying lessons learned from the DAPL project against future efforts. This
foresight, discipline, vast financial resources, professional organizers of groups
like Food and Water Watch, with no industry counter IO campaign will lead to
numerous unforeseen delays and cost over runs to ongoing and future projects.
The success of these demonstrations will set the conditions for more aggressive
direct action efforts.
b. Food and Water Watch continues to make a strong push for their sponsored
protest in 29 April 2017. This march will simultaneously be held in multiple
locations; the principle location being Washington D.C. Food and water Watch is
spending an exorbitant amount of time and money to facilitate transportation
from Chicago to Washington DC, as well as supporting that march with a local
march in Chicago. The demonstration is being called the People’s Climate March.

c. Food and Water Watch is intent on making a large scale statement at both their
local and Washington DC demonstrations on April 29, 2017. The organization is
expending a large amount of resources and through a very organized and
disciplined strategic messaging campaign, interest and participation is growing
rapidly. Efforts such as the People's Climate March Chicago Phone Banks continue
to drive interest throughout Chicago and across all of Illinois. Participating
organizations such as several NoDAPL efforts are putting the full force of their
grass roots efforts behind this march. The effort and resource expenditures being
placed behind this demonstration giving it the potential for a high payoff media
event.

d. CA panel discussion as an effort to maintain the “activist narrative” of the “Water
Protectors” will be held on 13 April 2017, in Chicago. Chi-Nations Youth Council is
sponsoring the event. Chi-Nations Youth Council is a strong supporter of
and her narrative, splitting them away from the Standing Rock Tribal leadership.
This is a continuing effort to maintain a native face to the Anti-DAPL/Water
Protector Movement in the Chicago area.
