Chase Iron Eyes is a Native American activist, attorney, and an enrolled member of the Oglala Lakota and Standing Rock Sioux Tribes. He is a co-director and lead counsel of the Lakota People’s Law Project as well as a co-founder of the Native American news website Last Real Indians. Chase stood on the front lines of the fight against the Dakota Access pipeline (DAPL) where he was targeted by law enforcement and arrested. For his role in documenting a peaceful protest, Iron Eyes faced a possible ten years in federal prison, so he knows first-hand what it’s like to be the subject of a political prosecution.
