See these stunning National Geographic images from Pine Ridge, the Oglala Sioux Indian Reservation in South Dakota. I volunteered as a coach at a photo camp in Pine Ridge in 2010 and was struck by how much beauty and suffering both exist there. The children of Pine Ridge are especially wonderful as well as vulnerable. It was eye-opening to see how they viewed their worlds through the photography they made, and it was exciting to take them exploring through the outdoors into areas many of them had never been to and to do activities many of them had never tried before.
