Occupy Oakland Erects Teepee Honoring Sioux Indians & AIDS Activists

Zachary Runningwolf, the Occupy Oakland tree camper, burns sage after erecting a teepee on the North side of the plaza to honor Sioux Indians, homeless workers and AIDS activists.

When Runningwolf and Oakland PD butt heads over the traditional shelter, an Assistant City Attorney intervened to allow it, with the caveat that it must come down by 10 p.m. tonight. Runningwolf, meanwhile, insists the one Oakland City Council member with indigenous blood will be "criticized heavily" if he supports removing the teepee.
