Our team was embedded with the indigenous-led resistance to the Dakota Access Pipeline near Standing Rock Sioux Reservation in North Dakota from August 2016 until the camp's final eviction in February 2017. We've published work in The Guardian, Fusion, AJ+ and The New York Times.

Produced for and commissioned by The Guardian.

Jasilyn Charger was one of the first people to set up camp at the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation in April 2016. Along with youth from neighboring tribes, the then 19-year-old helped raise awareness about construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline by staging a 2,000-mile run from North Dakota to Washington. By the time the group returned to Standing Rock, the camp population had swelled into the thousands. One year later, she reflects on the protests and how the movement has changed the course of her life.
