A group of pipeline protesters moved their camp to Cannonball Ranch, an area directly on the pipeline route, which protesters say is treaty land, but was recently purchased by Dakota Access. 


"Water protectors took back unceded territory affirmed in the 1851 Treaty of Fort Laramie as sovereign land under the control of the Oceti Sakowin, erecting a front line camp of several structures and teepees on Dakota Access property," according to a press release from several protest groups, including the Red Warrior Camp and the Camp of Sacred Stones.

>During the move on Sunday, protesters set up blockades on Highway 1806 and on County Road 134 directly to the west, according to the protesters' statement. This led to authorities closing Highway 1806 for several hours in the afternoon, during which time drivers were rerouted along Highway 6.

#### "The Protesters seem to be upping the ante here. Blocking a road and setting up camp on the pipeline construction site. I have a bad feeling both sides might be getting setup for a big confrontation."
