Shawna Black, left, helps son Joshua, 2, down from a pickup truck bed while Jaevonna Bellrock, 3 watches from inside the cab on the Crow Reservation at Crow Agency, Montana. Pending new ports for shipment to Asia through either the U.S. or Canada, Cloud Peak Energey hopes to open new high-grade coal mines on and near the Crow Reservation in southern Montana. The tribe is equally hopeful the new mines would bring long-awaited economic stability to the tribe. (Kevin Moloney for the New York Times)
