    The Navajo Nation is suing the federal government for taking more than 300 sets of human remains from Canyon de Chelly National Monument.

    Earth+Bone Episode 1: Standing Rock Sioux Galvanizes A Nation

    Last year hundreds of thousands of people from around the world united with the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe to protest the Dakota Access Pipeline.
