  • Catcher Cuts The Rope, a Marine injured in Fallujah, leads a two-mile walk protesting the Dakota Access Pipeline, which will cut across several sacred indigenous sites and will tunnel under Lake Oahe, which feeds into the Missouri River. Cuts The Rope, who is Aoanii and Nakota, spoke of his hope for a non-violent resolution to the pipeline. "We will stop the pipeline, and we will do it peacefully," he said.<br />
<br />
<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 />
ìWe say ëmni wiconií: Water is life,î said David Archambault II, the chairman of the Standing Rock Sioux, whose reservation sits just south of the pipelineís route. ìWe canít put it at risk, not for just us, but everybody downstream.î He added: ìWeíre looking out for our future, the children who are not even born yet. What is it they will need? Itís water. When we start talking about water, weíre talking about the future generations.î

Ashley Shaw and her daughter Ameera Manneh, 10, take a break from jumping rope outside of their home in Washington, D.C. After working remotely as a pre-school teacher, Shaw said she wanted to do a cardio workout to stay active while sheltering at home.<br />
<br />
From NYT text:<br />
The character of cities has always been defined by the tension between inequality and opportunity. Cities draw the very rich and the very poor, and the contrasts are impossible to ignore. But cities also provide the best opportunities for people to rise.<br />
