Tribal members participated in a anti-racism protest in a North Dakota town not far from the border of the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation. Chase Iron Eyes of Last Real Indians called on White supremacists to leave Leith, a town about 30 miles from the reservation border. "You have come here thinking we are going to react out of fear, but we won't do that. We are Dakota and Lakota people," he said at the protest, according to a post on Facebook. Paul Craig Cobb, a White supremacist, has been buying property in the town in hopes of taking over the local government. He invited other White supremacists to a meeting there on Sunday.
