But the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has assembled a list of <a href="https://www.aclu.org/blog/speak-freely/how-many-law-enforcement-agencies-does-it-take-subdue-peaceful-protest" data-link-name="in body link">76 different agencies</a> – state, county, and local agencies from North Dakota and nine other states – that have sent officers to the protests.</p><p class="dcr-xry7m2">“There are real concerns about how the Morton County sheriff’s department is exercising command and control,” said Jennifer Cook, policy director for the ACLU of North Dakota. “Who makes the decision about how to police the protest? When you have so many agencies involved, each one is going to have its own training and protocol.”</p><p class="dcr-xry7m2">Adding to the confusion is an exceedingly complicated jurisdictional terrain.</p><p class="dcr-xry7m2">The first Standing Rock encampment, known as Sacred Stone, was established in April on land owned by <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2016/nov/02/dakota-pipeline-protest-bundy-militia" data-link-name="in body link">LaDonna Brave Bull Allard</a>, which sits within the boundaries of the Standing Rock Sioux reservation.</p><p class="dcr-xry7m2">But as more activists joined the movement, camps were established north of the reservation border, on land managed by the Army Corps of Engineers and leased to a private rancher. While the government asserts that the land falls under its jurisdiction, the Standing Rock Sioux tribe says that it has treaty rights dating from the 1851 Treaty of Fort Laramie.</p><p class="dcr-xry7m2">Given the complexity, Ronal Serpas, a retired police chief and professor of criminology at Loyola University, said the courts needed to step in and provide direction for law enforcement officers.</p><p class="dcr-xry7m2">“This is what you would call a messy, messy mess,” Serpas said. “It’s unfair for the police to be at the center of that storm.”</p><h2>‘It’s just under the surface’</h2><figure id="e40119f7-7e0a-4878-bc85-ff866382ee94" data-spacefinder-role="inline" data-spacefinder-type="model.dotcomrendering.pageElements.ImageBlockElement" class=" dcr-10khgmf"><div class="dcr-1b267dg"><picture class="dcr-4zleql"><source srcset="https://i.guim.co.uk/img/media/0a9a9369b8920c8768de3862a294413b6f1fd986/0_224_3466_2079/master/3466.jpg?width=620&quality=45&fit=max&dpr=2&s=29e6449c33c4d47f559d352ce40929b4" media="(min-width: 660px) and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 1.25), (min-width: 660px) and (min-resolution: 120dpi)"><source srcset="https://i.guim.co.uk/img/media/0a9a9369b8920c8768de3862a294413b6f1fd986/0_224_3466_2079/master/3466.jpg?width=620&quality=85&fit=max&s=20044f7085d42333bda0f15337c0a6d4" media="(min-width: 660px)"><source srcset="https://i.guim.co.uk/img/media/0a9a9369b8920c8768de3862a294413b6f1fd986/0_224_3466_2079/master/3466.jpg?width=605&quality=45&fit=max&dpr=2&s=41d2bf8e72b69a0494d1a8f24fe6fd0b" media="(min-width: 480px) and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 1.25), (min-width: 480px) and (min-resolution: 120dpi)"><source srcset="https://i.guim.co.uk/img/media/0a9a9369b8920c8768de3862a294413b6f1fd986/0_224_3466_2079/master/3466.jpg?width=605&quality=85&fit=max&s=25d79f329c7bffcb1a608faaf232ac50" media="(min-width: 480px)"><source srcset="https://i.guim.co.uk/img/media/0a9a9369b8920c8768de3862a294413b6f1fd986/0_224_3466_2079/master/3466.jpg?width=445&quality=45&fit=max&dpr=2&s=b995814cad2d227bf092d67b955f66d8" media="(min-width: 320px) and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 1.25), (min-width: 320px) and (min-resolution: 120dpi)"><source srcset="https://i.guim.co.uk/img/media/0a9a9369b8920c8768de3862a294413b6f1fd986/0_224_3466_2079/master/3466.jpg?width=445&quality=85&fit=max&s=7374517e4cc016634575c8e7e26839ff" media="(min-width: 320px)"><img alt="Standing Rock protest" src="https://i.guim.co.uk/img/media/0a9a9369b8920c8768de3862a294413b6f1fd986/0_224_3466_2079/master/3466.jpg?width=620&quality=85&fit=max&s=20044f7085d42333bda0f15337c0a6d4" height="2079" width="3466" loading="lazy" class="dcr-4zleql"></picture></div><figcaption class="dcr-w6u133"><span class="dcr-1usbar2"><svg width="18" height="13" viewbox="0 0 18 13"><path d="M18 3.5v8l-1.5 1.5h-15l-1.5-1.5v-8l1.5-1.5h3.5l2-2h4l2 2h3.5l1.5 1.5zm-9 7.5c1.9 0 3.5-1.6 3.5-3.5s-1.6-3.5-3.5-3.5-3.5 1.6-3.5 3.5 1.6 3.5 3.5 3.5z"/></svg></span><span class="dcr-19x4pdv">Women hold a prayer ceremony during a protest against plans to pass the Dakota Access pipeline near the Standing Rock reservation.</span> Photograph: Stephanie Keith/Reuters</figcaption></figure><p class="dcr-xry7m2">Many Native Americans involved in the Standing Rock movement ascribe the harsh police tactics to intense racism against indigenous people, both from law enforcement officials and civilians. </p><p class="dcr-xry7m2">Glenn Morris, spokesman for the leadership council of the American Indian Movement of Colorado, said indigenous people in the Standing Rock region were accustomed to mistreatment by police.</p><p class="dcr-xry7m2">“Anybody who knows the history of law enforcement actions in the Dakotas, this is not unusual.
