"Stand with Pride" by Clayton, 17 | Badlands National Park

Every night and every day,
The buffalo walk and then they lay,
Some are big and some are small,
But they’re all so magical overall,
They walk with pride,
And stand with courage,
Our souls they always nourish.

About Clayton: "My name is Clayton. I am a young Native American from Lac Court Oreilles, WI. I use to be a menace to my society. But now that I’m taking pictures, my chance for success is much greater because I can help my community out and show the world anyone can change. I hope that when others see my work it can inspire them to change and let them know that there is a better life out there for them then hanging in the streets. My plan for the future is to successfully finish Northwest Passage and then teach others the right path in life."
