A Northern activist is out of jail after being arrested in New Salem, North Dakota, last week at the protest against the Dakota Access Pipeline. Daniel T'seleie — who has roots in Fort Good Hope and Yellowknife — and two other men were arrested last week and face a felony charge of reckless endangerment for attaching themselves to construction equipment with a steel device. T'seleie, 34, was also charged with criminal trespass, disorderly conduct and obstruction of government function. He made a court appearance over the weekend, according to Dave Psyck of the Morton County Correctional Center, and was let out with a $1,500 bond and a promise to appear in court when the charges come up next. New Salem lies about 110 kilometres northwest of Cannon Ball, N.D., where thousands of people have gathered in solidarity with the Standing Rock Reservation to protest the $3.8 billion pipeline that's supposed to transport oil from the Bakken oilfield near the Canadian border to Illinois.
