Harsh blizzard ravages Standing Rock as vital support and the media pack it up

• In the days since an apparent victory, the Standing Rock camp has been battered by an oncoming snowstorm — and conditions are now dire. 
• Heavy snow and wind batters the sides of tipis and tents, forcing the Standing Rock resistance indoors. 
• The roads have shut down going in and out of Oceti Sakowin Camp.
• The media are clearing out, packing up satellite trucks and heading home. 
• Meanwhile, the police haven’t pulled back from the front lines, and the Dakota Access Pipeline company has no intention of leaving either.
• “It’s a distraction,” Oceti Sakowin Camp volunteer Ethan Braughton said in an interview. “If they were leaving, they’d take the razor wire and all their vehicles, but they’re still continuing to get the drill pad ready. They’re not going anywhere, they just want us to leave.”
• Many of the Lakota Sioux have permanently settled at Standing Rock and they’re not leaving, vowing to see this fight through.
