Some 400 years since the first Thanksgiving, Cole Chambers spent his holiday sharing necessities with the Native Americans protesting at the Standing Rock Indian Reservation. People of all backgrounds have gathered at the burial ground in attempt to halt the construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline. The Gainesville man said he was inspired to pack up his 2001 Ford Focus and hightail it to North Dakota after seeing the use of water cannons on protesters in 20-degree weather, and stories of people like Sophia Wilansky, who was at risk of having her arm amputated after being struck by a concussion grenade, and Vanessa Dundon, a medic whose retina was severed when she was struck by a rubber bullet.
