In North Dakota, the chair of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe, Dave Archambault II, conceded defeat Thursday in the tribe’s first election since massive protests erupted over construction of the $3.8 billion Dakota Access pipeline. Tribal Councilman Mike Faith won with about 63 percent of the vote; he’s pledged to refocus attention on Standing Rock’s economy, in a region that’s one of the poorest in the United States.
