Lakota Resistance: The Bison, the Horse, and the River

The Dakota Access pipeline protests of 2016 were a lightning rod of political action that drew the eyes of the world toward the Standing Rock Reservation.

Star Tribune photographer Richard Tsong-Taatarii documented the saga, capturing everything from fire hoses freezing out protesters to daily life on the rez. His revealing photos, coupled with images from the Pine Ridge Reservation in 2013-15, make up this must-see show.

(Opens Fri. with talk at 6 p.m., reception 7 p.m. 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Tue.-Sun. Minneapolis Photo Center, 2400 N. 2nd St. #200, Mpls. mplsphotocenter.com)
