Description

This is a black and white photograph of two people walking past a teepee. A pine tree and american flag are visible in the foreground, with an unfinished teepee frame in the background. This photograph depicts part of the Rocky Flats protests of 1979 which took place at the south end of the plant on the railroad tracks. This railroad spur carried nucular waste out of the plant and bomb parts into the plant. Protesters hoped to disrupt this traffic. Rocky Flats built the trigger component for hydrogen (atomic) bombs.
