DAPL Protests Moved to Reservation Land

The large encampment of Dakota Access oil pipeline protesters will move from federal land to tribal land.

The Standing Rock Sioux Tribe Chairman says the tribal council voted 8-5 for the move to its reservation.

He says permanent structures will be built to protect protesters from winter weather.

Protesters are currently on U.S. Army Corps of Engineers property.

The federal agency had said it wouldn’t evict them due to free speech.
