Video #2: 

    This short video shows Native community surrounding the framework of a tipi, a sacred symbol which sets the foundation for this newly erected “1851 Treaty Camp.” Predominantly indigenous Water Protectors hold signs of disapproval in regard to the Dakota Access Pipeline, and also signs of advocacy for the protection of their water, such as “Defend the Sacred,” “Water is Life,” “Water is Sacred- No Pipelines,” as well as others.  The lightheartedness of the gathering can be heard in the voice of the speaker, who is cracking jokes while a yellow helicopter encircles the peaceful gathering.  As the video comes to a close the speaker reassures the people that more relatives are on the way from the south to dance & pray with them, & that they will arrive within the day.
