morning of Eviction Day 1.

I was invited inside to escape the frigid cold.

greetings, coffee, stories and tears are shared by the warm fire, the heaviness of the day is felt by all.

back out to brave the cold and salvage whatever materials she can before the police evacuate everyone and destroy the remains of camp.

Aru is strong, she's on a mission to protect all indigenous peoples everywhere being one herself. here she collects frozen rope, sometimes barehanded, I definitely want Aru on my side.

these tipi poles are loaded into an empty school bus and taken to a 'secret' location, one look at the mysterious masked women.

She reveals at the end of our exchange that Aru is a fake name..
