Archambault: only 300 protesters left at camp near Standing Rock

BISMARCK - There are only about 300 protesters left at the camp just off the Standing Rock Indian Reservation south of Bismarck, said Tribal Chairman Dave Archambault on Tuesday.

That’s down from several thousand people estimated as recently as a week ago.

Archambault, at the center of the pipeline protest for months, grew up on the Pine Ridge Reservation in southwest South Dakota. He attended school in Kyle, South Dakota before attending high school in Fort Yates on the Standing Rock reservation that straddles the South Dakota/North Dakota border, where he is an enrolled member of the Standing Rock Sioux tribe. He was elected tribal chairman three years ago.
