This photograph was printed in 2020 for Magnum Square Prints, as part of a benefit sale--half the proceeds went to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP).
The artist states in the photograph: "Vic Camp, Lakota Sundance leader of the Pine Ridge reservation, stands in protest and solidarity with his family over months from summer to the snows of deep North Dakotan winter. His camp is one of thousands at the Oceti Sakowin protest village along the Cannonball River. The upside-down American flag is a sign of distress. It is a visible symbol that Lakota consider their land and water more important than allegiance to a nation-state that has repeatedly betrayed them".
