Minnesota: 3 native activists arrested during protests of state's anniversary

Three American Indian activists were taken into custody during a protest at a celebration of Minnesota's 150th birthday on the state Capitol Mall.

The protesters appeared about 10 or 15 minutes after the official ceremony began Sunday evening. A Capitol security supervisor says the demonstrators were repeatedly asked to quiet down but continued to beat a drum and chant loudly.
