An array of solar panels glisten in the sun outside Cannon Ball, N.D., located on the north side of the Standing Rock Indian Reservation, where the grand opening for the project was held on Friday, July 26, 2019.

The solar project is meant as a first step toward clean energy independence and a way to power all 12 of the reservation communities. (AP Photo/Dave Kolpack)
