Visiting Lakota Medicine Man (rare opportunity) 🇺🇸

Far out in the countryside of South Dakota is the Pine Ridge Reservation and home to the Oglala Lakota Tribe. On this adventure, I journey to a Lakota medicine man's home to hear what he has to say about his people, why I'm a Native American and he's not, the future of his tribe, control, freedom, what American needs, and many other interesting topics.

...I wonder if he knew late Henry Niece "Goyomac" (The man who knew the medicine) a medicine man from MD...He called me "women who asks many questions" unfortunately I forgot how it is said in Lakota...I met him years ago in NYC and then again in NJ when we went to see "Don Martin" , at a private event in Warwick NY, medicine man from Peru (Condor Nation), he told me he was trying to find him for 30 years and some eastern European woman connected him with Don Martin (I don't know what native name he had)...Mitakuya Oyasin...

FACTS!

[@wanderingwarrior5626]

There has always been four types of people in the world, those that serve evil intentionally, for a nice paycheck/love of money, materialism, power over others, those that just go along out of fear, avoid conflicts with those of power/authority, for a job/income, those that understand how the system really works, who created it centuries ago, fully controls it, so designed their own methods of using it for their benefit without becoming part of it. And those that just fight it, never taking anything from it. David falls into that group. The latter being the hardest life. So, many kudos to David. This David, me, chose the third way, which served me well. No regrets!

OK, first of all, only GOD is righteous. The Bible says that everyone who has ever lived has been born with a sin nature, therefore we are all sinners by birth and not righteous. Do you know who Jesus is? He is the Savior of the world and of every human being. If you will only call on His Name today and repent of your sins and turn to Him he will forgive you and save you from your sins. Otherwise you will spend eternity in Hell when you die if you die without Jesus Christ.

This is such a powerful series. I live in Mankato, MN where they have the horror of convicting and hanging the 38 Dakota, Lakota, Nokota and other indigenious peoples unjustly. There has been more and more attention to our local history here and I hope that continues. As your guest said, there needs to be truth in education about what really happened. Until we do that , there is no hope. Every year, on Dec. 25, the 38 ride into Mankato from the Dakotas and ride through town, the streets are blocked and they are escorted to the memorials down by the river. They share their stories, their history and their pain. Many people attend this ceremony even though it can be very cold. I have lined the streets as they have passed through as a way to honor their suffering. This is such a powerful message and one that I have heard and read in many places. Keep doing this great work.

Not being some kinda sick blowhard as it's nothing to brag on. But I'm related to some of those 38. I'd say about maybe 3 or 4 of them were young adolescent teens with one being as young as 14 years old and was a special needs child . White dog. Was one. Jean Baptiste Campbell for sure I'd be related to and a few others . Most of em were all kin and related in one way or another with white dog being the oldest. But don't quote me . This year marks the end of the dakota 38 ride for good and I've plans to be in Mankato to see the riders come in , to catch up to friends and family .

@colonelsanders4006 I think that it is more important to "bloom where you are planted." Grow from between the cracks of the unforgiving ground, and live your own truth no matter where you are. I think close-mindedness is a plague over all lands. Those of us who see differently need to inspire those who are willing to see and hear, no matter where we are. After all, I can personally assure you there is nowhere more desolate and harsh in conditions than Pine Ridge Reservation. Have courage enough to bloom wherever you are. ✨️🌱✨️

Native Americans signed treaties with the US government, and just like any contract the US has to honor these contracts, the treaties. The so call benefits or handouts are actually contractual obligation that US government agreed to in 500+ treaties. The US government has never fulfilled all of its contractual obligations to the indigenous people of US. When Native American speak of the US government failing them, they are speaking of these failed and broken treaties to say the least. The federal government, BIA, supposed to promote economic opportunity and protect and improve Native American assets in accordance with treaties signed with Indigenous people of the US. The federal treaty obligations are unmet or underfunded. Indigenous people of USA are fighting for their treaty rights in federal courts.

[@cmorris1469]

Colonization is dehumanizing, what would help Indigenous people of the US is better engagement of non-indigenous population & various organization to help dismantle colonization. They can promote, advocate, and guarantee of human rights & address layers of obstacles & challenges that Indigenous population are struggling through.

When I was like 3 we lived in South Dakota and my mom worked hard for the Lakota. Are they “Lakota” Sioux bc of where they are located? I’m sincerely interested in these answers.

[@RayyanKesnan]

@@bestgrandma8302 Like many names that are used to refer to indigenous peoples, Sioux comes from European interpretations of a name they were called by another nation. What they call themselves is people of the Seven Council Fires, or Oceti Sakowin Oyate, a confederation of seven groups. The three main dialects of their language are now referred to as Lakota, Nakota and Dakota. I'd highly recommend reading The Great Sioux Nation by Roxanne Dunbar Ortiz.

The words Lakota and Dakota, however, are translated to mean “friend” or “ally” and is what they called themselves.

As are many spirits around the Earth who are approaching to support the new times, but they need our help, for we have to empty our minds of all self-will and selfish desires, and ask for the guidance from Above...and the Power of the Spiritual energy streams, which are intensified by a great Star that drives all these karmic reactions, and which will appear in the Sky in around 2038 I sense.

Years ago I talked to people in my family and read diaries of my settler ancestors who were directly engaged in the wars against the tribes. I know their stories. But I only know half of the whole story. The common thread among settlers was that they were fighting for peace. I got some new perspective on what they did with the peace that was conquered by force. I can say that their honor was and is polluted and tainted by the deliberate disregard for the peace that was signed...as if whatever honor there was in all the sacrifice never mattered. An ancestor of mine was in the US Cavalry who fought the Lakota. I have 2 gentle horses on my farm on unceded territory of the Migmaw. "Sacred dogs". That opened my ears. Thank you.

I have watched a lot of KZbin videos over the years and this channel is the best of the bunch. There’s not even a close second. The different areas and people you interview are an astonishing feat in and of itself. Keep up the great work.

[@QueenB572]

I agree!

[@maggie27377]

Heartbreaking how our government treated/still treats our native Americans. I'm 1/16 Cherokee. I'm ashamed of how they were done. So ashamed.

"Walks with pride" describes this wise elder very well. Tremendous wisdom everyone needs to hear.👂

David Swallow Jr. is indeed a treasure. Thank you for understanding your responsibilities in presenting these stories. It makes all the difference in the journey.

Dear Danyelle, thank you for your kind comment. Could you please call him by his real name? Wowita Uha Mani or rnaybe Walk with Pride ? There is meaning and proper identity associated, that (maybe unfortunately) non indigenes names don't carry. With Kind Thanks, Mitakoye Oyasine ( we are all relations)

Walking with pride is a very wide and intelligent man. 99% of us could learn a lot from only what he told in this documentary. And sure he can learn us way more than we ever could think. Great docu Peter Santello again. I am hooked on this series. So many things we can learn from those tribes,it was a eye-opener for me. A European citizen who love to spend a longer time with those kind of people without making profit of them or discriminate their way of living. And you Peter brings that always to us on the screen. Honestly and open,with the bling bling.

[@EmLetty09]

Thanks for showcasing these stories Peter. I had many Indian friends, I graduated on the "rez". Mainstream America turns a blind eye to them. Are you planning on visiting the Navajo & Ute tribes of Colorado & New Mexico?

[@roam4fun853]

Main point this man makes is that we need to stop sending billions elsewhere when we have so many issues. This said, everyone needs to take accountability in their own lives and not depend on others to fix their problems.

Extremely powerful...

I’m an old white women from the valley in Oregon and being out in nature has always been my church I’ve always loved learning about the history of the natives and try to live the way they’ve always taught very wise people

[@RayyanKesnan]

That's a great sentiment. Jack Forbes wrote that for indigenous people everything you do is your religion and what you make could be called your church. Seems like you're on to something!

Once you gather videos for all indegineous tribes this series needs to be shown in schools first in the Americas then to the rest of the world. It is so eye opening, thank you Peter!

[@sarahjanezwier6593]

That could take a while since there are 574 federally recognized tribes (and more that aren’t recognized)

[@killy3015]

​@@sarahjanezwier6593 that only proves how little we know about them and how much more there is to explore :)

[@Flower-ck2bs]

Will the government allow that?

[@a.b.creator]

Yes!

I am lakota as well, decendant of Natawista Iksina and Alexander culbertson. So much respect to you for this amazing video. You really let him speak, now if anybody would just listen...

I heard him, and he is absolutely right!
