"Sign Of Peace" Esteban Lucitande Yauguaje, from the Secoya tribe, holding dried palm fronds that he carried as a sign of peace, gets ready to make his way to protest outside the courthouse where oil companies are on trial for polluting the area. He is from a tribe that was heavily hit by the oil pollution. The Indians set up camp in a community center near Lago Agrio, Ecuador, where they spent the night.
