About our TripMiddle school students from Oredocker Project School in Ashland, WI began working on a project about Standing Rock in fall of 2016. When they realized the time to make a trip would have to be soon (the weather was getting cold) they quickly organized the trip. They contacted parents, collected food and supplies, and raised over $1500 on Go Fund Me. Because there were extra spaces left in the van, students from Lake Superior High School (myself included) were invited to come along. We drove for 10 hours in each direction, and spent two nights at Standing Rock. I compiled interviews with students and the water protectors we met into this audio piece.
