ADVERTISEMENTA few hundred holdout protesters have been ordered to leave the camp they set up to battle the Dakota Access Pipeline and that captured the world’s attention for months. The camp, Oceti Sakowin, must be cleared by 2 p.m. local time Wednesday to avoid health and safety risks, according to orders from the Army Corps of Engineers and North Dakota Gov. Josh Morgan/ The Huffington Post Some protesters are unhappy to leave the Oceti Sakowin camp and believe the claims about flooding have been overstated. Josh Morgan/ The Huffington Post Water protectors expressed mixed feelings while preparing to depart from the camp that was the focal point of the opposition to the Dakota Access Pipeline. Lewis Grassrope, 39, had been at Oceti Sakowin since August, but returned to his home on the Lower Brule Sioux reservation in South Dakota days ago.
