\u201cBIA Update – Live FB Stream\u201d\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Summary:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/em> \u00a0 “After the last week- what has been happening to our Indian people and non-native<\/em>— it’s like a breath of fresh air. When we get to the rez it’s like a safe zone. Not often do we say on the reservation that we’re happy with police officers.” <\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

by<\/span>\u00a0Myron Dewey<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 Dewey<\/a> pulls over to talk to a<\/span>\u00a0Standing Rock<\/em>\u00a0BIA<\/em>\u00a0(Bureau of Indian Affairs)<\/a><\/span> officer, & tells him that many of the other non-BIA officers<\/em> follow them when they’re driving off the reservation, & that\u00a0most don’t wear badges<\/em>. \u00a0Dewey explains that they are journalists documenting the lawlessness here, & the fact that there’s no communication<\/em>\u00a0between law enforcement agencies<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 Dewey<\/a> asks the BIA officer:<\/span> “What’s the protocol when an officer from another agency comes onto the reservation?”<\/span> \u00a0This BIA officer couldn’t answer that, except to say that he can only work within his own jurisdiction.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0<\/em>\u00a0Dewey<\/a> continues:<\/span> \u00a0“It’s not okay when [law officers]\u00a0break the boundaries of the law which were clearly on the reservation. Know your law, know your \u00a0rights: know your first and fourth ammendments. \u00a0They can’t come into your property or\u00a0vehicle without a warrant – they can’t bully their way.\u00a0For the Indian people it’s double: we have to know federal law, state law… cultural protocol; man it’s hard to be indigenous! But we do it because we have to do it; we have to do it to\u00a0preserve our culture and take that medicine on to the next generation.”<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 “We’ve been hearing calls all day long about people getting pulled over by the police. This is real: Mississippi\u00a0in the North Dakota, 2016.”\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/span>They drive the speed limit, making observations on how every other car on the road seems to be a police car,<\/em> and how quickly<\/em> work on the pipeline is continuing:<\/span> “Morton County is the new DAPL Security.”<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
