For almost a year, members of the Standing Rock Sioux tribe and thousands of supporters camped out near Cannon Ball, North Dakota, to protest the Dakota Access Pipeline. The tribe won a short-lived victory in December when the Army Corps of Engineers halted pipeline construction in December. When Donald Trump took office, he ordered the Corps to allow drilling to move forward.

Standing Rock Camp and the surrounding area was pummelled by a massive blizzard on Monday.
