In this episode 27 of Exposures, photographer Camille Seaman joins Eros Hoagland to reflect on Standing Rock ten years after the 2016 protests against the Dakota Access Pipeline which is being commemorated this month. Seaman arrived at the Oceti Sakowin camp after hearing about Standing Rock while working on another Indigenous portrait project in South Dakota. She went on to spend a month documenting the camp, the more than 10,000 people gathered there, and the militarized response to the protest.
