LEGAL DEFENSE FUNDING FOR DAPL PROTESTORS

Earthjustice

The environmental nonprofit Earthjustice is representing the Rock Sioux Tribe.

Earthjustice Is Representing The Standing Rock Sioux Tribe In The Dakota Access Pipeline Case. “Opponents of a major North Dakota pipeline project brought their case to federal court Wednesday. The Standing Rock Sioux tribe told a federal district judge that the government didn’t consult the tribe before approving a route for the pipeline of energy company Dakota Access, which is to run close to sacred and environmental sites in North Dakota… ‘The law gives the tribes the opportunity to go out and evaluate the impact on important sites,’ Jan Hasselmen, the Earthjustice lawyer representing the tribes, said. ‘The tribe and other tribes are concerned about impacts all along the length of the pipeline.” (Devin Henry, “Judge hears tribe's argument against ND pipeline,” thehill.com, 8/24/16)

Earthjustice Is A Nonprofit Environment Law Organization. “Earthjustice is the premier nonprofit environmental law organization. We wield the power of law and the strength of partnership to preserve the wild, to fight for healthy communities and to advance clean energy to promote a healthy climate.” (Earthjustice, “Our Work,” earthjustice.org, Accessed 10/19/16)

Earthjustice uses “sue and settle” tactics in which a group sues a government agency, settles, and allows the group to recoup attorney’s fees.

A 2011 GAO Found Environmental Groups Make $2 Million Per Year Off Suing The EPA. “The costs borne by Justice, EPA, and Treasury also varied without a discernible trend from fiscal year 1998 through fiscal year 2010. Justice spent at least $43 million, or $3.3 million annually, to defend EPA in court during this time. In addition, owing to statutory requirements to pay certain successful plaintiffs for attorney fees and costs, Treasury paid about $14.2 million from fiscal year 2003 through fiscal year 2010—about $1.8 million per fiscal year—to plaintiffs in environmental cases. EPA paid approximately $1.4 million from fiscal year 2006 through fiscal year 2010—about $280,000 per fiscal year—to plaintiffs for environmental litigation claims under relevant statutes. (All amounts are given in constant 2010 dollars.)” ("Cases against EPA and Associated Costs over Time," US Government Accountability Office, http://www.epw.senate.gov/, 8/1/2011)

The House Judiciary Committee Specifically Cited The Large Legal Fees Earthjustice Received From Taxpayers By Suing Federal Agencies In A Report On The Need To Reform The Equal Access To Justice Act. “Certain 501(c)(3) organizations routinely receive large awards under the [Equal Access to Justice Act]. This is based on reliable (although, due to the annual reporting blackout since FY1994, not comprehensive) evidence, including the GAO's August 2011 report.\36\ The GAO report revealed that Earthjustice received 32%--$4.6 million--of attorney's fees paid by the EPA during the period of time studied. The Natural Resources Defense Council and the Sierra Club combined to take another 41%.\37\ Another recent study found that the U.S. Forest Service paid EAJA awards in 149 instances over a 7-year period (1999-2005), totaling over $6 million in attorney's fees and costs.\38\ Eighty three of these involved environmental organizations, accounting for approximately 70% of the EAJA award dollars.\39\ … Certain 501(c)(3) organizations routinely receive large awards under the EAJA.

The Major Beneficiaries Of The “Sue And Settle” Fundraising By Environmental Non-Profits Are Earthjustice ($4,655,425) And Sierra Club ($966,687). “On top of all that, we taxpayers, including those impacted regulatory victims, are put on the hook for legal fees of both colluding parties. According to a 2011 GAO report, this amounted to millions of dollars awarded to environmental organizations for EPA litigations between 1995 and 2010. Three “Big Green” groups received 41% of this payback: Earthjustice, $4,655,425 (30%); the Sierra Club, $966,687; and the Natural Resources Defense Council, $252,004. Most of this was paid to environmental attorneys in connection to lawsuits filed under the Clean Air Act, followed next by the Clean Water Act.” (Larry Bell, “EPA's Secret And Costly 'Sue And Settle' Collusion With Environmental Organizations,” Forbes, http://www.forbes.com/, 2/17/13)

National Lawyers Guild

The National Lawyers Guild is a group of progressive lawyers who have defended protestors arrested at the DAPL protests.

The National Lawyers Guild Is A Group Of Progressive Lawyers Focused On Human Rights Law. “We seek to unite the lawyers, law students, legal workers and jailhouse lawyers to function as an effective force in the service of the people, to the end that human rights shall be regarded as more sacred than property interests.” (“About,” nlg.org, Accessed 10/19/16)

The Group Issued A Statement Of Support For The Standing Rock Sioux Tribe Calling The Pipeline A “Flagrant Violation Of Environmental Justice Principles.” “In a flagrant violation of environmental justice principles, the pipeline was redirected towards lands near the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe from its original route north of the drinking water intakes for Bismarck, ND, in part to avoid non-Native lands and communities. This act of racial discrimination placing the people of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe at disparate risk of harm violated their collective human rights as secured by the UN Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination, and violated the Executive Order on Environmental Justice, EO 12898.” (“NLG Statement of Solidarity with Standing Rock Sioux Tribe against Dakota Access Pipeline,” nlg.org, 8/29/16)

National Lawyers Guild Attorneys Represent DAPL Protesters In Court. “Valerie Wolf Necklace and Clifton Verle Howell, represented by the National Lawyers Guild legal team that is defending the Camp Sacred Stone water protectors, argued that the restraining order was an unconstitutional prior restraint on fundamental First Amendment rights to freedom of speech and assembly and free expression of religion, was not supported by competent evidence, and that Dakota Access does not have standing to prohibit water protectors from praying at and protecting ancestral sacred sites on public or private land.” (Press Release, “Federal Judge Dissolves DAPL's Injunction Against Water Protectors,” nlg.org, 9/16/16)

The National Lawyers Guild receives the majority of their funding from contributions and grants.

Jan Hasselman is a staff attorney with Earthjustice and on the faculty at the University of Washington and Seattle University law schools. He represents the tribes opposing the Dakota Access Pipeline. Hasselman claimed Dakota Access used evidence filed with the court, showing the pipeline crossed sacred sites, as a “roadmap” for what to bulldoze days later. He also liked a photo opposing the Tar Sands pipeline and a photo claiming the National Rifle Association was the same as the Islamic State.

He is currently fighting coal export terminals in the Pacific Northwest. Jan has a history degree from Wesleyan University, and graduated magna cum laude from Boston College Law School, where he was executive editor of the Boston College Environmental Affairs Law Review.

Hasselman Is A Lawyer With Earthjustice “Representing The Tribes” Opposing The Dakota Access Pipeline. “The tribe last month sued the Army Corps of Engineers, which approved the pipeline route. On Wednesday, lawyers for the tribe asked District Judge James Boasberg to block construction on the project until the tribe can conduct more assessments of its route. ‘The law gives the tribes the opportunity to go out and evaluate the impact on important sites,’ Jan Hasselmen, the Earthjustice lawyer representing the tribes, said. ‘The tribe and other tribes are concerned about impacts all along the length of the pipeline.’” (Devin Henry, “Judge hears tribe’s argument against ND pipeline,” The Hill, 8/24/16)

Jan Hasselman claimed Dakota Access used evidence filed with the court, showing the pipeline crossed sacred sites, as a “roadmap” for what to bulldoze days later.

On September 2, 2016, Hasselman Filed Evidence With The Court Claiming There Were “Sacred And Major Culturally Significant Sites That Were Directly In The [Dakota] Pipeline’s Route.” “So, on Friday afternoon, we filed some very important evidence in the lawsuit about the discovery of some sacred and major culturally significant sites that were directly in the pipeline’s route. And it was miles away from where any construction was happening. And we filed this evidence with the court Friday afternoon in order to support our claim that there should be a timeout on construction until some of these legal issues can get resolved.”

Hasselman Claims Dakota Access Used The Evidence As A “Roadmap” For What To Bulldoze Days Later. “We were stunned and shocked to hear that they took that information and, Saturday morning, over a holiday weekend, went out and bulldozed the entire site. We have

Page 14

PROPRIETARY & CONFIDENTIAL

a sworn declaration from one of the tribe’s cultural experts that describes some of these sites, multiple gravesites and burials, very important archaeological features of the kind that are not found commonly. And we put all that in front of the court. And the next morning, it was gone. The shock and anguish felt by tribal members at this, and this abuse of the legal process, is really hard to describe. AMY GOODMAN: So, are you suggesting you basically gave the court what the Dakota Access pipeline company and Energy Transfer would use as a roadmap to destroy?JAN HASSELMAN: That looks like what has happened here. In the lawsuit, Energy Transfer said to the court that we hadn’t proven that there were sacred sites or important sites in the pipeline route, and they claimed to have looked with their private consultants. So, we went and provided exactly the evidence that they said that we needed to provide. And 12 hours later, the bulldozers were out.” (Democracy Now!, “Did the Dakota Access Pipeline Company Deliberately Destroy Sacred Sioux Burial Sites?” www.democracynow.org, 9/6/16)

Bruce Ellison is an attorney from South Dakota currently defending protestors in the Standing Rock protests. Ellison was named as a co-conspirator in the 1975 murder of a woman suspected of being a government informant on the American Indian Movement. Ellison has long been critical of the U.S. government and claims there is a “war” against Indians.

Ellison is a National Lawyers Guild attorney representing DAPL protestors.

Ellison Was Listed As One Of The National Lawyers Guild Attorneys Listed As Part Of The Legal Team Representing The DAPL Protesters. “Contact: NLG attorneys: Bruce Ellison 605-858-1850, Jeff Haas 505-469-0714, Rachel Lederman 415-350-6496…Valerie Wolf Necklace and Clifton Verle Howell, represented by the National Lawyers Guild legal team that is defending the Camp Sacred Stone water protectors, argued that the restraining order was an unconstitutional prior restraint on fundamental First Amendment rights to freedom of speech and assembly and free expression of religion, was not supported by competent evidence, and that Dakota Access does not have standing to prohibit water protectors from praying at and protecting ancestral sacred sites on public or private land. As described in three declarations by expert Tim Mentz filed in support of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe’s lawsuit for injunctive relief against DAPL, many Lakota / Dakota sacred sites lie within and near the pipeline corridor, including burial sites and other historic sacred sites that are used for prayer and spiritual connection and are vital to the religious life and heritage of the Lakota / Dakota people.” (National Lawyers Guild Press Release, “Federal Judge Dissolves DAPL’s Injunction Against Water Protectors,” www.nlg.org, 9/16/16)

Ellison was listed as a co-conspirator in the death of Anna Mae Pictou Aquash who was murdered in 1975.

Pictou-Aquash Was Kidnapped In Denver And Interrogated In The Rapid City Law Offices Of Bruce Ellison Before Being Shot. “Looking Cloud was with Pictou-Aquash for a period of two and one half days from December 10, 1975 when she was tied up in the Denver, Colorado home of Troy Lynn Yellow Wood Williams, forced to go to the Rapid City law offices of Attorney Bruce Ellison on Dec. 11 for an interrogation, and then until she was shot in the early morning hours of December 12, near Wanblee, South Dakota.” (Paul DeMain, “Jury convicts man in 1975 murder of Anna Mae Pictou Aquash of Being Party to 1st Degree Murder,” jfamr.org, 2/23/04)

Ellison And Pictou-Aquash Were Members Of The American Indian Movement (AIM). “He said Ellison -- a local attorney who was affiliated with the Wounded Knee legal committee -- and others in AIM had told him that anyone who knew Aquash would

have been able to identify her remains, suggesting that the government was trying to hide its own involvement in her death by cutting off her hands.” (Heidi Bell Gease, “Witness in 1975 AIM slaying trial recalls a fractured AIM, Peltier admission,” News From Indian Country, 4/20/10)

Pictou-Aquash Was Killed Because Of Rumors Claiming She Was A Government Informant. “Witnesses have testified that there were rumors Aquash was a government informant, which is why prosecutors say AIM leaders had her killed.” (Heidi Bell Gease, “Witness in 1975 AIM slaying trial recalls a fractured AIM, Peltier admission,” News From Indian Country, 4/20/10)

Ellison Claimed He Was Pictou-Aquash’s Attorney And Friend At The Time Of Her Death. “As Anna-Mae's attorney at the time of her death, I was grateful to previously be sent copies of some of the documents your paper had "uncovered" regarding the investigation of her murder. Although they contained nothing new (and left out much available), it appeared to me that perhaps your paper was pursuing a serious investigation into the murder .” of this mother of two.” (Bruce Ellison, “Ellison demands retraction of Annie Mae assertion!” dickshovel.com, Accessed 10/19/16)

Ellison Plead The Fifth Amendment When Testifying Before A Grand Jury In The Trial Of A Man Convicted For The Murder. “Leonard Peltier's former attorney, and activist lawyer Bruce Ellison of Rapid City, S.D., plead the fifth amendment when called before a Grand Jury according to court testimony (Hamilton bench conference) in the 2004 trial of Arlo Looking Cloud. Ellison originally avoided being called by claiming he was the attorney for Aquash.” (Paul DeMain, “Feds: Aquash was bound and raped before 1975 execution,” Associated Press, 8/30/08)

NOTE: Ellison was not charged in the murder

Ellison claims there is a “war against the Indigenous civil and human rights movement.”

Ellison Has Spoken Out About What He Calls The American “War Against The Indigenous Civil And Human Rights Movement.” “The current state of domestic security operations and climate within the United States - I believe this has been 30 years at least in the making, and a lot of what was done to the American Indian Movement in an effort to destroy it as a movement, to eliminate dissent by Indigenous peoples, was in many ways practiced, it was in many ways a precursor and forerunner to the situation today in the United States. In fact, some of the architects of the philosophies of when the government brands someone a threat to the national security, both today and 30 years ago, those architects included Donald Rumsfeld and Cheney who were White House people back in the early-mid 70s.”

Ellison Said The “United States Government Doesn’t Sponsor Terrorism, It Claims.” “Because it is not something that the American government is willing to do because of what it would reveal. The United States government doesn’t sponsor terrorism, it claims, the United States government doesn’t prosecute people for political reasons, it claims, the United States government doesn’t fabricate evidence to put people in prison for crimes they didn’t do because of their political activism, it claims. Because what we are talking about is the fundamentals of whether we have a free and democratic system in society within the United States and the illusion is more important than dealing with the reality.” (Daniel Gautreau, “Interview June 26, 2006 by

Ellison defended a Sioux Tribe during an illegal protest in the 1980s.

Ellison Defended A Sioux Tribe Occupying Land They Claimed Was Theirs In The Black Hills. “Camped defiantly on federal land in a small valley nestled among the Black Hills of South Dakota, a few dozen Sioux are trying to reclaim a small portion of their inheritance. They are occupying one small part of ‘'Indian Country.'’ This act of defiance is part of a larger effort to bolster their claim that Indians are suffering disproportionately from the current federal austerity. … ‘We are just wrapping up the discovery phase of the case. It will be a few months before a decision, but I am confident of the outcome,'’ says Bruce Ellison, the camp's attorney.” (David F. Salisbury, “Small Sioux band still 'occupying' Black Hills area,” Christian Science Monitor, 3/2/82)

The Tribe Claimed The Government Took Away The Land In Violation Of A Treaty. “The Forest Service maintains the Indians have no legal right to be there and are violating federal regulations. The small group of Sioux, including American Indian Movement leader Russell Means, maintains that the US government took this land away from the tribe in direct violation of the Fort Laramie Treaty of 1868. The Black Hills, they say, play a vital part in their religion and they want 800 acres where they can perform religious ceremonies, build a school for their children, and live more in accordance with their traditions. The district court allowed them to keep the dome, but has not yet ruled on whether the government can kick them out.” (David F. Salisbury, “Small Sioux band still 'occupying' Black Hills area,” Christian Science Monitor, 3/2/82)

Jeffrey Haas said he performed “jail interviews” with arrested protesters and “bonded [protesters] out with funds from the crowdfunding campaigns.”

Haas Said He Has Performed “Jail Interviews” With Arrested Protesters And “Bonded [Protesters] Out With Funds From The Crowdfunding Campaigns.” “Our Red Owl Collective has done jail interviews with most of those arrested, bonded them out with funds from the crowdfunding campaign, and are called to monitor the protest sites. We were also successful in getting Dakota Access, LLC's injunction in federal court in Bismarck against anyone "interfering with the pipeline" dissolved. Currently, we are in the process of connecting with and recruiting North Dakota lawyers to represent those charged.” (Jeff Haas, “Lawyer’s View: Recent Days at Standing Rock,” www.truth-out.org, 9/29/16)

Jeffrey Haas stayed at the Standing Rock Camp several times and encourages other attorneys to travel to the camps to provide legal support for the protesters.

Haas Often Stays At The Standing Rock Camp And Encouraged Other Attorneys To Travel To The Camps To Provide Legal Support For The Protesters. “Currently, we need more attorneys and legal workers to come to Standing Rock. There were not enough Red Owl Collective members at camp on Sunday or Tuesday to be present at the different actions. Lawyers and legal workers are needed to come to the camp for a week or few days to be part of the Red Owl Collective. We guarantee you will be inspired by the spirit and actions of the camp. ‘It's not perfect,’ someone at camp said. ‘We have to get a few kinks out, but we haven't done this in 140 years.’” (Jeff Haas, “Lawyer’s View: Recent Days at Standing Rock,” www.truth-out.org, 9/29/16)

Martinez suggested North Dakota law enforcement is planning to make a “mass arrest” of the pipeline protesters. He also said he “would not be surprised” if law enforcement tried to cut power to the protester camps and were “already intercepting all communications” from the camps. Martinez has a history of anti-pipeline protesting. Finally, his firm, the Martinez Law Firm, actively broadcasts anti-pipeline rhetoric, even suggesting there is a “militarized police presence” in North Dakota meant to suppress the anti-oil protesters.

The Martinez Law Firm Is Placing A “Growing Emphasis On Environmental Public Policy.” (Robin Martinez, LinkedIn, Accessed 10/19/16)

Robin Martinez works with the National Lawyers Guild and provides legal aid to DAPL protesters.

Martinez, Working With The National Lawyers Guild, Is Aiding DAPL Protesters Out Of Kansas City, MO. “Robin Martinez, an attorney with the National Lawyers Guild in Kansas City, told DeSmog he has mixed feelings about the implications of the joint statement. On one hand, he said that it ‘not only appears to open review of the Dakota Access permits, but the underlying decision-making process when it comes to pipelines’ and that ‘it presents an opportunity to help shape the direction of the pipeline permitting process and actually take a hard look at the environmental impacts as required under the National Environmental Policy Act.’ Martinez was doubtful, though, that Dakota Access would stop bulldozing contested private land. ‘Hopefully they'll do the right thing and stand down, but given what appears to be their deliberate destruction of Native American historic sites last weekend, I wouldn't count on it,’ he said.” (“Federal Agencies Step in After Judge Denies Tribe's Request to Stop Dakota Access Pipeline,” EcoWatch, 9/10/16)

Robin Martinez suggested North Dakota law enforcement is planning to make a “mass arrest” of the pipeline protesters.

Martinez Said Law Enforcement’s Efforts Of “Taking Pictures Of Passersby” And “Using Facial Recognition” Will “Likely Be Used For An Upcoming Mass Arrest.” “The protesters can’t challenge the governor’s move, but they are highlighting the unjust use of roadblocks to reroute supporters trying to enter the camps, an issue which the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe brought to the United Nations. Reports have also come out of law enforcement taking pictures of passersby and using facial recognition which, Martinez said, will likely be used for an upcoming mass arrest. The Morton County Sheriff justified the roadblocks as a safety precaution.” (Naomi Cohen, “What You May Not Know About the Dakota Access Pipeline,” telesur, 9/11/16)

Robin Martinez said he “would not be surprised” if law enforcement tried to cut power to the protester camps and were “already intercepting all communications” from the camps.

Martinez Said “He Would Not Be Surprised If Authorities Did Try To Cut Power” To The Protester Camps “And ‘Would Be Shocked’ If They Weren’t Already Intercepting All Communications” Coming Out Of The Camps. “Some have suspected that officials have also cut off telecommunications, but Martinez said that poor reception is likely because there is one phone tower in the area serving thousands of cell phones. He added, though, that he would not be surprised if authorities did try to cut power and ‘would be shocked’ if they weren’t already

Robin Martinez has a history of anti-pipeline protesting.

Martinez Represented “South Dakota Farmers And Ranchers Against The Keystone” Pipeline. “Should a similar scenario happen, or should Dakota Access decide to call off the project, it would have to take the pipes out of the ground and dismantle the construction that has already taken place. Martinez, who represented South Dakota farmers and ranchers against the Keystone 1 Pipeline, said that while the company is required to restore their property to how it was before construction, they rarely fulfill their promise. Oil leaks aside, the pipeline often damages the land and prevents crops from growing again: oil from tar sands, for instance, must be heated up to flow through the pipeline, burning the land around it.” (Naomi Cohen, “What You May Not Know About the Dakota Access Pipeline,” telesur, 9/11/16)

RED OWL LEGAL COLLECTIVE ATTORNEYSAngela Bibens

Angela Bibens is an attorney with the Red Owl Legal Collective on the ground at the Standing Rock protests. In addition to legal support, Bibens provides operational support to the camp which she claims is doing “catastrophic preparations.” Since joining the camp in September, she has posted complaints on Facebook about DAPL planes conducting surveillance of the camp.

Bibens provides legal support for the Red Owl Legal Collective and helps manage volunteers and camp operations.

Bibens Provides Legal Support, Manages Volunteers, And Conducts Media Interviews. “One of the first people I met at camp was Santee Sioux attorney Angela Bibens, who has been at the camp for several months and leads the legal defense for all the water protectors. Day in and day out, Angela provides legal support to the dozens of water protectors who have been arrested, fielding calls, coordinating with her partners at the National Lawyers Guild, answering legal questions from camp residents, doing media interviews, managing volunteers and defending arrestees in court. On the road to one of those court appearances, we were able to interview Angela about her work and her call for other Native attorneys to join her in Standing Rock.” (Nellis Kennedy-Howard, “The Backbone of the Camp: Meet the Women of Standing Rock Camp,” sierraclub.org, 10/25/16)

Bibens Is A Santee Dakota Indian And An Attorney Based In Colorado. “ANGELA BIBENS: My name is Angela Bibens. I’m a licensed attorney in Colorado. I’m also Santee Dakota by heritage. My dad was enrolled member of the Santee Sioux Nation in Northeast Nebraska.” (“‘We're Going to Call That a Win’: Water Protectors Promise More Protests as Felony Charges Dropped,” Democracy Now!, 10/18/16)

Bibens Claims The Camp Is Doing “Catastrophic Preparations” And That She Has No Legal Training That Has “Prepared Me For These Kinds Of Scenarios.” “Throughout the area centered roughly near Cannon Ball, N.D., fears of further violence are commonplace. ‘We’re doing catastrophic preparations,’ said Angela Bibens, an attorney who offers legal support for the people of the resistance camps. I don’t know if there is any superlative that doesn’t apply here. This camp seems imminently under siege. Certainly there is no legal training I have had that has prepared me for these kinds of scenarios. This is completely extra-legal territory.’” (Mike Anderson, “Even as they hope for peace, all sides in pipeline protest worry that violence will erupt,” Rapid City Journal, 10/30/16)

Preparations Have Included Coordinating Routes To The Nearest Emergency Rooms. “Bibens said her legal team has been helping set up medical tents and coordinate routes to the nearest emergency rooms in anticipation of an imminent police raid. ‘This community understands these tactics because they have been employed against the Native community since the foundation of this country,’ she said. ‘This is nothing new, there is no veil being lifted. This is what we have experienced for generations.’” (Mike
