The people of Standing Rock Sioux Tribe in North Dakota have stepped up in powerful non-violent protest to protect the life-giving waters that run through their land. Their efforts have impeded the $3.7 billion Dakota Access oil pipeline known as DAPL. They don't want to be described as heroes. This feels like their duty.
Now that the cameras have stopped rolling, the water protectors have a long fight ahead of them. In order to ensure that this temporary delay becomes a lasting victory, they have to stay at Standing Rock. But winter is here, and the dangers of staying there in these severe conditions are becoming more intense each day.
