#NoDAPL Water Protector Michael “Little Feather” Giron Sentenced to 36 months in prison - Indian Country Media Network: The Water Protector Legal Collective told Indian Country Today that the use of fire to commit a felony was dismissed and both sides recommended a sentence of 36 months for the charge of civil disorder.

Though “Little Feather” Giron received 36 months, the judge did have the authority to go as high as 60 months. Little Feather has been incarcerated since March 9, 2017. He will be credited with time served during the past 15 months.

“The sentence imposed today reflects the judge’s recognition of the positive changes that Little Feather has made in his life due to his time at Standing Rock. It is an endorsement of all the progress and this new chance he has for a spiritual life in connection with his ancestors and his relatives,” said Little Feather’s attorney Peter Schoenburg.
