1/17/17 (pub. 1/19/17) There were reactions to substances sprayed on Water Protectors on this night:
Waniya Locke – posted ~7am PT – near Mandan, ND – “Two nights ago, I went to the bridge to help with crowd control. I was dusted by this substance. It was a typical eyes burning, lungs burning, but afterwards about 30 minutes later. My body contoured and cramped up. I was like that for the rest of the night. It was not until in the morning, I was talking to my fellow water protectors did I discovered we all had the same experience… We think it is a nerve vine, to make us stop.”
