President Obama Visits the Standing Rock Reservation | Medicine Woman

The tribal chairman invited the president and first lady to come see for themselves. It was an historic visit—only the fourth time in American history that a sitting president has visited an Indian reservation. But what the pictures don’t show are the private moments, as Lakota children shared stories of friends and family lost to drugs, violence, and suicide.
