China's western Xinjiang region has a long history of discord between China's authorities and the indigenous Uighur ethnic minority. The Uighurs are Muslims and regard themselves as culturally and ethnically close to Central Asian nations. Photographer Kevin Frayer observes the community facing cultural and religious restrictions by the Chinese government around the Eid holiday.
