# Long description

A photograph of a protest. Activists participate in a protest against the Dakota Access Pipeline March in Washington, DC, 2017. The image is of the front of what appears to be a demonstration. Many people are visible in the foreground. It is a grey day, and two umbrellas are visible. Many banners and placards are visible, but are hard to discern. At the front of the demonstration, around half a dozen people hold a banner, across the top it says ‘RECOGNIZE INDIGENOUS PEOPLES RIGHTS’, below which are three sections. The left section is a white block, with a black drawing of a face, below which it says, ‘WE EXIST’. The middle section is a red block, with a black drawing of a black hand holding a quill, below which it says, ‘WE RESIST’. The right section is a yellow block, with a black drawing of a bird in flight, below which it says, ‘WE RISE’.
