Oglala Lakota Women and Buffalo

[@Maddogs27]

I am black, but I love the heck out of Native Americans and their culture. I have visited Oglala reservation and Crazy Horse monument in South Dakota, the Pima Indian reservation in AZ etc. When ever I travel to any state, I also ensure to visit these wonderful people. I only wish they would come out more.

I'm Irish and Scots,and I support this completely. I'm living in Michigan, born and raised here, and I never experienced racism being thrown at Native Americans until I moved away from Detroit. It was bad enough being around racists that maligned Black people, then I realized that racism was much bigger than I imagined.

Wrong, she is 7/8 NDN Blood per her CDIB. Why is it that everyone wants to assume that different Tribes all look alike? There is as much physical variation amongst NDNs from Alaska to Patagonia as there is for Eurasians from Britain to Viet Nam. And She is indeed a classic Lakota Beauty.

[@merlynschutterle7242]

Hailey Hocken I don't know about you, Hailey, but I have not done anything bad to the Lakota, but they have to me. I don't want to hear about the 4 values: generosity, courage, respect and wisdom because they are not truly followed. Any organization gets corrupt and that includes tribes.

[@HaileyHocken]

Merlyn Schutterle If you don't want to hear about it, don't watch the video and don't go on my profile, it is as simple as that. I don't need ignorant and rude comments from people who don't want to understand, and from people who no matter how hard you try to make understand, just won't because they don't want to and have closed their minds. And no, I have not personally wronged a Lakota, nor have any EVER wronged me, but I know for sure some of our ancestors have wronged these people and I PERSONALLY CHOSE,fully within my rights, to express how I feel and to unlike the rest of the world "who did nothing to them personally", I have chosen to set out and make it my DUTY as a world citizen to try and start make amends and try to help fix some of the horrific things some of my ancestors DID DO "personally" to them... Things that still haven't been made right to this day. It is people with that mentality "I didn't do anything personally" that contribute to these people never getting the help they fully deserve and given back what is rightfully theirs. And side note, if you do your research they didn't sound like they ever were corrupt to me at all(Although any race, or group of anything, CAN have individuals who don't look out for the best interests of others)- they lived in harmony among themselves, the planet and all living beings on it, (something we could all learn)- that is until the Europeans and such came along and tried to corrupt THEM and destroy something so beautiful but yet something others with closed minds could never understand. They didn't ask for that, they didn't ask to be treated horribly, to have their lands taken, their homes destroyed,etc. And they certainly didn't need to share with the Europeans and everyone who came over , & I think a lot people fail to realize that, and fail to realize that hey, we probably wouldn't be here if they weren't so nice. I think they deserve a lot more respect than what is given to them. I will no longer reply to any more of your comments, so please don't bother commenting anymore, I just don't have time for such ignorance. I am who I am, I believe what I believe and that is evident. Don't bother trying to change people just because they aren't like you. There is no need to spread anger or hate, just don't look at things you don't like, no need to be rude to those who do and no need to be rude towards the kind people who made this and shared their beliefs.  AND PS; I was referring to everyone who has not helped the Aboriginals , and instead and over the course of TOO many years has stood by and done nothing. "everything we've done", means anyone who has not helped, anyone who has stood by and done nothing...

The insight and perspectives shared by these women shows the type of philosophies we need to improve life on this planet.

While my many travels in USA and Canada, where I had so many relatives, I met so many natives of different tribes. I spent a lots of time with them and they gave me so many thoughts about the nature, living with that nature and respect for the animals. One time I hit back from a moose hunt to Lac la Hache, where my relatives were waiting for me and I gave a lift for two natives from Prince George to Williams Lake. As a thank you they invitet me to stay for some days. I took this and one the last day theire medicin man invited me for some time in his house. He told me things in my life he could not know about. Eventually he gave me my totem - the raven. Since that experience I think, that has opened my view wider to understand the relationship between animals, nature and my being on the earth.

I have read many many books about the history of the Native American Indian, ALL of them written by the 'White man' ..

"Red Cloud" & "Ten Bears" were/are two of the most Honorable men I have ever come across, and I honor them now, there spirit by naming them. My tears fall as I remember our shame.

[@Unsolicitedbias]

The biggest crime, or single act of misunderstanding, was when the Europeans tried to make the Great Plains into farm land, fenced and divided into family farms, plots for standing grazing. That standing grazing caused the beginning of the loss of vegetation, that began the desertification of the land. The healing of the people really is about the healing of the land. The lands should be unfenced and continuous from Mexico to Canada with open Prairie for the herds to move in their annual migrations, Spring to the North to calve and Fall to the South to overwinter. The People, the only true People of the Great Plains followed the Bison in their annual migrations, not needing more than horses and tent poles to carry their skins and the people walked the trail year after year. The Plains grasses were hardy with deep roots that grew into the soil and stored carbon and retained water. The ecosystem was in balance and in harmony. No need for great, standing cities with cars and pollution and noise. Only the sound of the wind. We have witnessed a great misunderstanding, really a crime of ignorance and hubris. But now this White man writing these English words knows he is NOT part of the great life of the Plains Peoples and the herds of Bison. He can only hope that one day, more land is returned to it's former use and the People will once again move with the seasons and the bison herds. We can pray and hope and we can stop colonizing places we know nothing about. We can learn and behave with respect and leave the places that have evolved, human societies and animal ecosystems over thousands if not tens of thousands of years. The Europeans don't have such time consciousness. But the People of the Great Plains. do. Time is not measured in years or lifetimes. Time is measured in epochs.

***** : Actually, it's amazing to me how there are Euro Americans (westerners) who seem to emphasize the cultural chasm existing between the European mind and Native American thought and culture. I absolutely agree with you, the Roman Empire was the epitome of empire, and as the cult of Christianity grew in popularity, it was used as a governing tool and assurance of imperialism by the Romans who imposed and codified it into the state religion known as The Universal Christian Church. That was done at a time of declining Roman influence in the 'civilized' world. I view the imposition of a centralized/state sanctioned church in Rome as a way to endorse/impose uniformity and conformity among all the subject or would be subjects of the furthest reaches of the Roman Empire. From what I've read the traditional and cultural roots of the Celtic, Germanic and Nordic Tribes were very much focused and centered around coexistence with nature. The essence of those cultures (survival/livelihood) just as that of Native American culture was threatened by a conditioned view and perception of so called 'civilized' Christians that those who practiced their God given culture and traditions were nothing more than heretical pagans.

I checked in with Katela and she is definitely his sister. I don't really remember where I found out for sure how they are siblings but I somehow knew. :)

Not to take away from anything expressed here, but I am sure that cattle do not pull grass out at the roots. Cattle are turned out onto growing wheat, if they would pull it out, the crop would not come in, but it always does. It is sheep that will destroy grass roots. They have to be constantly moved to fresh pasture so they won't destroy the grass. Goats are frequently kept on marginal land because they will not further destroy it, but can eat anything it offers, and actually prefer the weeds. Peace.

@ScriptWorker -True. Buffalo is higher in protein and lower in fat than cattle. This is, of course, true of most wild animals that are/were sources of food. One must, however, be careful about adding extra fat (i.e., unhealthy cooking oil) when cooking buffalo. Since it is so low in fat, some must be added in order to cook it properly. Otherwise, enjoy! Unfortunately, here in the US the price of buffalo meat has risen to where most people can't afford it except as a treat.

[@AMERINDIAN1STNATIONS]

to the Lakota people and the buffalo child i feel your spirit of concern with in the people of Lakota , i am born of an Amerindian Arawak blood line govern by the first nations of our Amerindian councils far and abroad but my spirit feels a deeper sense of concern just as you have, it says i was chosen as his ears but not as his mouth while his hands are my wings and his great works still holds truth with in all first nations my grand father [Stephen Campbell] blessings to you i offer ..

[@AllenEnriquezAlberto]

Oh wow I break out in crying every time I see a herd of 🐃 Buffalo 🐃 in the natural freedom as they are intended to be. I would love for the bureau of Indian affairs to allow the ways herd Roam in the sacred lands. I get a overwhelming feeling when I am in sacred lands of joy. May the great spirit guide everyone back to the sacred ways of unity in life.

[@krautertee8427]

Please please please can someone tell me where the music comes from/what the melody is called? I've clicked on this video so many times (of course not just because of the music) but for years I've been thinking "I want to hear the full song, it's so beautiful", does anyone know? Would really appreciate it :)
