The images and audio capture the movement that has drawn people from around the world to help protect the lands that the Sioux Nation holds so dear.My objective is to personalize the protest by bringing the spirit, voice, and people of the camp to you, Callaway told The Huffington Post in an email.As a photographer, I think its important to use my craft to help those whose voices cant be heard.See and hear Callaways project by clicking the photos below: -- This feed and its contents are the property of The Huffington Post, and use is subject to our terms.
