Military veterans started to gather Sunday near the main Dakota Access pipeline protest camp, where they’ll join the several hundred people who are against the four-state, $3.8 billion project that’s largely complete. The group Veterans Stand for Standing Rock will meet at noon Sunday in Cannon Ball, about a mile south of the Oceti Sakowin, or Seven Council Fires, camp. Already, a few hundred of them have arrived in camp and the group’s GoFundMe.com page had raised more than $1 million of its $1.2 million goal by Sunday. The money raised is due to go toward food, transportation and supplies.
