Huey portrays life for the people of the Pine Ridge Reservation which is sometimes referred to as Prisoner of War Camp #344. Home to the Oglala Lakota tribe the reservation is a prime example of the failure of the reservation system with unemployment at 90% and life expectancy is around 48. The photos capture the incredible resiliency of the reservation’s inhabitants as they survive and find moments of beauty despite the hardships that surround them.
