A Journalist Went Near Mount Rushmore To Take Some Photos. What He Found Changed His Life Forever.

A few years ago, Aaron Huey journeyed to the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota to photograph members of the Oglala Lakota Nation. The disarming stories of deceit, heartbreak, and violence he heard there changed his life forever. I know this is a long one, folks, but I guarantee you'll be hooked by his transformation at 4:38, the breathtaking mural at 6:03, and the devastating words of a 17-year-old at 10:36.

ORIGINAL: "Honor The Treaties" from Reelhouse and Honor The Treaties. Directed By Eric Becker. Still photography by Aaron Huey. Mural art by Shepard Fairey. See an interactive map of the shrinking Oglala land over time here.
