a highway blockade over the weekend, as pipeline opponents claimed “unceded territory” in the direct path of construction.

Meanwhile, local law enforcement fired on two unmanned media drones, claiming that "protesters attacked a helicopter with a drone," and that the helicopter pilot and passengers were "in fear of their lives."

The weekend developments marked a distinct heightening of tensions between self-proclaimed water protectors and law enforcement. Roadblocks went up on State Highway 1806 on Sunday, as water protectors declared eminent domain and set up a new winter camp on private land known as Cannonball Ranch. The property was recently purchased by Dakota Access pipeline company, a subsidiary of Energy Transfer Partners, developer of the pipeline.

The Oceti Sakowin (Seven Council Fires) camp coordinator Mekasi Camp-Horinek said Oceti Sakowin's new frontline camp — just east of State Highway 1806 and 2.5 miles north of the Cannonball River, along the proposed path of the pipeline — is part of an occupation that is planned to persist "until the pipeline is permanently stopped."

Comment by Bilal Mahmud المكافح المخلص on November 9, 2016 at 8:53am: ICNA Social Justice chairman Imam Khalid is in North Dakota right now protesting the pipeline. Here he is standing with Cheyenne River Sioux activist Basheer Wapata. Br. Basheer, who reverted to Islam in 2001, is the only known Muslim member of his tribe.

Imam Khalid's message:

"I met Phyllis Young, the organizer of the event and campsite. She and others said that winter-proof teepees, binoculars, and certain food items are needed for those who intend to stay through the winter. More particular short-term needs can be determined when on the ground.

Long-term needs and what ICNA Social Justice (CSJ) and ICNA Relief can/should do will be determined by more extended conversations outside the protest setting, Inshallah. I have had a lengthy conversation with Br. Basheer."
