Cannon Ball, N.D. (KFYR) — Protesters blocking a North Dakota highway as part of an effort to halt construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline say their new camp is a “line in the sand”.
The new camp is on Energy Transfer Partners’ land at the site of a new roadblock that was set up over the weekend.
