  • Mavara Agha adjusts her veil shortly after being married at her childhood home in Oak Brook. Agha said that community “in a religious and a cultural context is a huge part of a wedding…There are a lot of Pakistani Muslims in Oak Brook, and they all live pretty close to each other. Growing up we had a lot of get-togethers in my home, so having such a significant moment in my home and in front of my community meant a lot to me.”<br />

Rites of Passage define our lives. They signify the progress of time as well as our citizenship in a tribe, in a culture — in life itself.<br />
<br />
Chicago commemorates these moments in ways that reflect its diversity, but through difference, we find commonality. We are all connected through these formal and informal ceremonies that remind us how much family, love and time shape us.

Joseph Marshall and his 9-year-old daughter Kinehsche' Marshall traveled from the Hoopa Valley Indian Reservation in Northern California, which has sent close to 150 people to the Sacred Stone camp in the last month. Marshall said he hoped his daughter would absorb the experience of the camp. "I've been telling her since she was a little person that she's the storyteller. When we're all gone, she's going to be the one telling the story. So it was really important that as soon as I found out I was going, I was like Kinehsche', you're going with me," he said.<br />

When visitors turn off a narrow North Dakota highway and drive into the Sacred Stone camp where thousands have come to protest an oil pipeline, they thread through an arcade of flags whipping in the North Dakota wind. Each represent one of 280 Native American tribes that have flocked here in what activists are calling the largest, most diverse tribal action in at least a century, perhaps since Little Bighorn.<br />

  • East Chicago, Indiana - August 24, 2016<br />
<br />
Logan Anderson, 19 months, plays with his older brother Lamont Anderson Jr., 8, at the West Calumet Housing Complex in East Chicago, Indiana. Anderson Jr.'s blood lead levels test results were above the CDC’s 5 mg/d threshold for action. After living in the complex for more than a decade, the family moved to Gary, Indiana earlier this summer.<br />
<br />
The West Calumet Housing Complex, which is currently home to about 1,200 people, is located on a 79-acre Environmental Protection Agency Superfund site where a USS Lead facility was located in East Chicago, Indiana. Up until 1985, a lead refinery, a copper smelter and a secondary lead smelter were also in the area. The houses were built between the late 1960s and early 1970s.<br />
