Special Report - Update from Iron Eyes on Standing Rock's Landmark Case

Listen Now to Iron Eyes

During our last show we spoke with Chase Iron Eyes, of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe. He is an American Indian activist, attorney, politician, anda co-founder of the Native American news website Last Real Indians.

  In the summer of 2016, Iron Eyes and other representatives of the Lakota People’s Law Project joined with other water protectors at Standing Rock to resist the Dakota Access pipeline. At one point he was arrested Chase Iron Eyesand charged with attempting to start a riot, a felony charge. In a key hearing last month, Judge Lee Christofferson admonished the North Dakota state’s prosecutor for witholding evidence. The judge also granted Chase Iron Eyes’ legal team authority to subpoena Tiger Swan, a private military security firm hired by Energy Transfer Partners, the Big Oil interests of this case. If all goes well, much will be revealed at Chase Iron Eye’s upcoming trial later this year.

We spoke with him for a few minutes for an update on his case.  For more info, go to the Lakota Law Project’s website. He is followed with some salient comments from Col Terry and Sun Lundell (aka Mrs. Future).
