NBC News reported that the Dakota Access Pipeline protesters burned their tents at the demonstration site “for cultural reasons” Wednesday, the deadline for leaving the campground. Wooden housing structures the protesters had built were also burned.
Authorities said two children — a 7-year-old boy and a 17-year-old girl — had to be treated for burns.
The Standing Rock Sioux Tribe has received $6 million in donations for the protest and Chairman Dave Archambault has said that cleanup efforts would be funded in part by that money.
Burgum has his doubts. He thinks people who have donated have been scammed.
“They’ve just been duped. For anybody that’s clicking the PayPal button, your stuff could be going for illegal activity, it could be going to somebody who’s not even here protesting,” Burgum said.
