Biography
Krow is an environmental and indigenous rights activist who faced charges stemming from a June 2013 Penokee Defenders protest that disrupted GTAC bore hole drilling at a mine site on the Penokee Range. On January 21, 2015 Krow was sentenced to 9 months plus 5 years of supervised release. Krow was released on November 1, 2015.
Krow was then assaulted and arrested on February 4, 2017, by a Bureau of Indian Affairs officer while supporting the struggle against the Dakota Access pipeline in North Dakota. Krow was charged with violation of felony probation, resulting from previous charges and jailtime stemming from the environmental protest in Wisconsin against mining in the Penokee Hills in 2013. Krow was released to a halfway house in summer 2017.
Missing 2010s case added October 12, 2026: Contemporary Wisconsin Public Radio reporting documents the January 21, 2015 completed sentencing for the 2013 Penokee protest. It quotes the prosecutor anticipating admission later, so no admission day is inferred from sentencing. The 2015 case is now separate from the existing 2026 case; exact custody endpoints remain under review.
