Summary

"On December 29th, 1890, the U.S. 7th Cavalry surronded a Sioux encampment at Wounded Knee Creek in South Dakota and massacred Chief Spotted Elk and 300 prisoners of war ... Today the Oglala Lakota live in the shadow of Wounded Knee on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. I started photographing Pine Ridge in 2005 as part of a story about poverty in America. In the beginning, it was all just statistics: a 90% unemployment rate, a 70% school dropout rate, and a male life expectancy of 47 years (roughly the same as Afghanistan and Somalia). Over time, it became clear to me that these statistics came from a deep historical wound. And then my phographs of Pine Ridge became a story about a prisoner of war camp, a story about genocide, a story about stolen lands."--Author's statement
