Marla Mahkimetas, center, a member of the Menominee Indian Tribe of Wisconsin, is seen marching in the Protectors of Justice contingency at the Peoples Climate March in Washington, DC on Saturday, April 29, 2017. She and her people are fighting the Back 40 proposed open pit mine on the border of Wisconsin and Upper Michigan. “We are here to teach non-indigenous people about the connection to our earth and water,” she said. “And with that connection, if you know that connection, as indigenous people that is our innate knowing, and our innate responsibility to teach that. People with that connection will no longer destroy the earth or the water.”—The Peoples Climate March took place on the 100th day of Donald Trump’s presidency. Marchers surrounded the White House in a silent sit-in to recognize the damage caused by the Trump administration over the last 100 days. © Carla Cioffi
