She started her European trip there, on May 24. She first visited the area – as far as the military police let people go – and talked at a meeting in Bettancourt-la-Ferrée in the evening.

CROW NATION -- Jennifer White Bear, the mother of Bonnie Three Irons, 35, speaks on the struggle for justice for her daughter Bonnie, the mother of six children. Bonnie's body was found on the Crow Nation in 2017. No one has been arrested or charged, or held accountable.
"It tells everyone that it is OK to do this," said one of the searchers. "Someone needs to be held these people accountable."
Bonnie's mother Jennifer says it is like the police are just pushing this under the rug, and see it as just "One less Indian."
"I'll keep pushing it until I go."
"They took away a daughter, a mother, a friend, a sister."
Bonnie is among the missing and murdered Indigenous women, whose cases are ignored by U.S. law enforcement.

EAGLE BUTTE, South Dakota -- Cheyenne River Lakotas blocked this Keystone XL truck and forced it off their land on Monday. Tribal police escorted the truck off Lakota land. Thanking those who blocked the truck, Chairman Harold Frazier said anyone working with Keystone XL is not welcome here. Chairman Frazier said unlike the United States, free speech and standing up for the law are welcome here.
Chairman Frazier said, “Any vehicles or personnel working on the Keystone XL pipeline are not welcome on this reservation. Unlike the United States we welcome free speech and concerned citizens standing up for the law. This is Sioux Territory, we will not stand for more encroachments and defilement of our land. I would like to thank the tribal members who brought this to our attention and stand with them in our opposition to the KXL pipeline.”
Taco John's guy under the truck
One of the workers from Taco John's rushed out, got under the truck to stop it, and then went back to work.
When the cops were trying to turn the truck around, the guy was still under the truck, said one of those present.
"So the dude moved from under the truck, when they said it had to turn around."
"The Taco John's guy went right back into work after he got up."
