Dakota Access protesters gird for brutal North Dakota winter
Thousands led by the Standing Rock Sioux have established winter ready camps at Oceti Sakowin near Lake Oahe to oppose the Dakota Access pipeline. The Army Corps denied a permit to cross the lake, but protesters vow to stay. Volunteers run kitchens, collect coats, and install solar and wind power while authorities urge precautions.
