At Standing Rock 7

Honestly, after the camps were forcibly shut down, I wasn’t sure if I should continue to produce these given that I was donating the money from prints sold to the camps and there no longer were any camps to donate to.

All of that being said, I’ve decided to continue my Standing Rock work for posterity. If nothing else, I hope these images provide the viewer with an idea of the humanity that I saw in North Dakota.

Some historical context: This painting depicts a water protector at the 1851 Treaty Camp on October 24, 2016, three days before it was raided by police. There were rumblings of a police raid the day I shot the reference photo for this image, with some even saying the police were on their way, but it appears as though the police were simply practicing mobilization in preparation for their actions on the 27th.

#NoDAPL water protectors sent to jail

By Chris Fry

Following the directions of Big Oil’s Dakota Access Pipeline company, North Dakota Judge Thomas Merrick on Oct. 19 convicted and sentenced two water protectors to jail for their role in the protest at Standing Rock last year. Even the prosecution had not recommended jail time. Neither activist has any prior criminal record.

Retired environmental biologist Mary Redway, 64, was sentenced to six days in jail for disorderly conduct, while school teacher Alexander Simon, 27, was sentenced to 18 days in jail for “physical obstruction” and disorderly conduct. The judge placed them in custody immediately, denying them time to make personal arrangements. They were the first Standing Rock activists sentenced to jail.

Three more water protectors — Red Fawn Fallis, Little Feather and Dion Ortiz — remain in jail awaiting trial on felony charges that could imprison them for 15 years to life. More than 850 people were arrested during the months of protests. Hundreds of activists await trial.

Not coincidentally, the Dakota Access LCC “gifted” the state of North Dakota $15 million, as well as another million to North Dakota, Iowa and Illinois police agencies, which, along with company goons, brutally suppressed the DAPL protesters with clubs, pepper spray, tear gas and fire hoses.

Indigenous women RISE!! It was an empowering feeling to be united with many Native Nations as we all marched for the rights of American Indian Tribes and peoples. Our people deserve clean water, air, and the protection of land and our sacred sites. Our tribe the Standing Rock Sioux has the right to consent to projects that impact our water, land, and sacred places. We say #noDAPL. #mniwiconi #Waterislife! 💦❤💦✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾 #wearestandingrock #nativenationsmarch #standwithstandingrock #indigenouswomenrise (at The White House)
