With a Humvee predecessor in the foreground, Sgt. William Sievers stands on top of a JLTV as Army Reserve soldiers train on firing a 50-caliber machine gun mounted on top of the JLTV at Fort McCoy, Wisconsin. Unlike its predecessors, the JLTV is able to level out its base so that soldiers do not have to compensate for uneven ground beneath the vehicle. This is especially valuable when using the machine gun.<br />
<br />
The Army is replacing the venerable Iraq-era light truck, the Humvee, with a new one called the JLTV. The change is an acknowledgement by the Armed Forces that the era of conventional wars with safe zones behind front lines is likely gone for good, and its troops transports must be ready for an increasingly unpredictable and dangerous world. <br />

  • Maida Le Beau, of the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe, embraces Bobby Robedeaux, of the Pawnee Nation, after learning that the Army Corps of Engineers denied a permit to drill underneath the Missouri River. Le Beau and Robedeaux's tribes were once enemies with histories of violence between them. Robedeaux said it was a time of healing, adding, "we all came back together."<br />

An arcade of flags whip in the wind, welcoming visitors to the Oceti Sakowin Camp, where thousands have come to protest an oil pipeline. Each banner represents one of the more than 300 Native American tribes that have flocked to North Dakota in what activists are calling the largest, most diverse tribal action in at least a century, perhaps ever. <br />
<br />
In the midst of this historic gathering, a familiar storyline emerges between the U.S. government and the indigenous people who have seen treaties and promises broken repeatedly. Will their efforts and personal sacrifices stop the pipeline? As Donald Trump prepares to take office, many doubt any injunction on construction will stand. <br />
<br />
Still they flock to Oceti Sakowin. They came alone, driving 24 hours straight across the Plains when they saw news on social media about the swelling protest. Some came in caravans with dozens of friends and relatives. They came with the hope that their voices, unified and resolute, would be heard.<br />
<br />
“We say ‘mni wiconi’: Water is life,” said David Archambault II, the chairman of the Standing Rock Sioux, whose reservation sits just south of the pipeline’s route. “We can’t put it at risk, not for just us, but everybody downstream.” He added: “We’re looking out for our future, the children who are not even born yet. What is it they will need? It’s water. When we start talking about water, we’re talking about the future generations.”

Maida Le Beau, from the Cheyenne River Sioux of the Dakotas, embraces Bobby Robedeaux, from the Echohawk Bayhylle family of the Pawnee Nation in Oklahoma, after learning that the Army Corps of Engineers denied a permit to drill underneath the Missouri River.

<br />
Catcher Cuts The Rope is Aoanii and Nakota. An Army veteran who was injured in Fallujah, Iraq, he spoke of his hope for a non-violent resolution to the Dakota Pipeline.  "We will stop the pipeline, and we will do it peacefully," 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 />

  • Sgt. Edgar Leon recently returned from a year-long deployment in Djibouti, Africa for the U.S. Army. <br />
<br />
Now back home in Richmond, Virginia, he stopped by the Ephesus Food Pantry to pick up the fixings for a holiday meal. <br />
<br />
“I’m looking forward to sharing it with my wife and family,” including his 10- and 12-year-old children, he said. “I’m happy I’m back now to celebrate Christmas and Thanksgiving.”<br />
<br />
Being away during the pandemic was difficult, especially when his wife was sick with Covid-19, but he’s grateful for their health today. <br />
<br />
We’re going to gather and “thank God for our blessings,” he said.<br />
