Letter: I saw 10,000 people caring for one another and Mother Earth

I spent many days at the Oceti Sakowin camp on the Standing Rock Reservation in 2016-2017. There were up to 10,000 people in an open field caring for one another and Mother Earth. Just because Gov. Armstrong simplifies it to 9.8 million pounds of garbage does not make it so. People prayed, fed each other, and all was peaceful. Sen. Tim Mathern, D-Fargo, serves in the North Dakota Senate. ]]>
