[@JamesJenka1979]

I remember that day when we shot this scene. Sure was hot and musty in the building. I felt like I was taken back in time throughout the shooting of the movie. I often wondered what it was like for the people that were actually present at these real life events. Must have been inspiring, powerful and yet sad to witness. I smudged and prayed daily during the making of this movie to honor those that were lost during the massacre.

All cultures and peoples have sinned.

[@moziboy75]

@Marc I agree with everything he says but unlike natives who hold true to customs and protocols of victor and vanquished....the colonialist method was through deceit and misinterpretation. People's with no written language hold belief systems to a point where someone 1000 years ago will hear chants and prayers that are recognisable if not word for word. So this is the situation that every human in this system knows the consequences of actions and follows through with the appropriate role of vanquished or victor. Colonialists on the other hand had a different system that was confusing to native people. They lied, cheated and killed for land, it is what it is, every culture has gone through the same through history. A fault on their behalf on our people from NZ is they made a treaty that intentionally misled the chiefs who were signing. It is this reason we are able to fight for land wrongfully taken. These are the interpretations of both sides of the coin. I have explained my viewpoint not to dominate my outlook but to simply let you know, I understand your point of view and agree with most of it but want you to see mine....cheers brother!

Though I have great respect for the tribes involved here, such an interaction NEVER took place. The Lakota simply took what they were allotted by their conquerors. When my people, before our arrival in the USA from Scotland, had a similar experience with the English (Saxons) we did no more or worse. They had conquered us. We had no choice but to accept their rule. The only thing that saved our culture was when a Saxon Queen (Victoria) decided our culture was worth saving and promoted it. That and the offer of allowing us to wear our native clothing and weapons if we joined British military units to fight for them in their wars. The sad but real fact is 'Might makes right'. That is a fact from the beginning of time to the present.

Great post, Patrick. I spent a couple years in Minnesota in college and one of my good friends with Swedish ancestry said something similar that made me thing. Interesting, he eventually moved his family back to his ancestral land Sweden, obviously part for practical reasons like job healthcare and college (it's free there for his kids) but more important, he told me it was more because of sense of justice. His family and people's natural home is in Europe, not in lands like Minnesota taken from the native Americans (Minnesota is a native American term after all!). An old friend in Wisconsin with German ancestry did same thing moving his family to Germany after 4 generations in US. I think there's a bigger movement of more and more Americans with European ancestry doing this, moving back to their ancestral lands in Europe. And I think it's ultimately a good thing, as the original peoples of North America (this includes Latinos who are overwhelmingly with native American blood, and IMHO African-Americans who were brought here against their will and became native to this land disconnected from their roots) will once again have title to the North American lands. P.S. Denmark is a beautiful country so if you wind up going same route as my friends who moved back to their European homelands, you'll be moving to one of the world's most beautiful countries!

It is unlikely. The Native Americans were not a monolithic people. Each tribe and nation considered itself distinct and fought against one another.

The word Sioux is an insult. It means "snake" because they were thieving, murdering trash. That's why they call themselves Lakota. They are one of the most hated of all native tribes.

[@saquoraromero-cannon9392]

I am very pleased with most of these comments. It warms my heart to hear people understand what happened to my anseters. Most kids in my school do not understand and it fills my with anger as I desperately try to explain to them, their minds are corrupt for their parents tell them one thing when it's really another. I see that they look down at me when I walk through the halls, they try to tell me that I am not who I say I am. And when we learn about how my people were actually treated they try to say that it really wasn't all that bad, and give an example of what Hitler did to that Jews. Yes the Jews were treated terrible, and I am in tears just reading about it, but they were helped out and now they live and free men and women. The Natives have been getting tormented by the government ever since the whites created a government, but you never here stories in the news paper about these acts of genocide, that are randomly inflicted just because we are Native. You don't here about how the government is trying to make it so the Navajo people have even less land yo live on, and just because they want to build a stupid pipe to transfer water. They say we live in a society that is 'color blind' but are we really color blind? If we are than why are we still using racist slurs for professional sports names. Such as the Redskins, you don't see a team calling themselves the Blackskins because that is considered being the ultimate racist. If you bully a black person all hell brakes lose but what about the many other ethnic groups living in America, so apparently to the white man its ok to bully an Asian or a Native because it's not "technically" being racist. White have their logic upside down and need to open their eyes to what really happens around them, if that is too much to ask.

[@annprince4691]

I agree with you, they are closed minded , there are not many who are see beyond what someone tells they are lazy . "Blindness"is a mask so they cannot see the whole of a situation. Start with one you and live tall and not worry about abject behaviour do what Vine Deloria. (Native American author) He fought eloquently with his pen and you can carry on in your own way. I hope I have not offended

[@cinnireseisri]

Saquora Romero-Cannon They have been told so to believe that our spiritualism is wicked, like ISIS and that it should have been banned. They will tell you that you are fortunate as no one else has land set aside for them. They will tell you that you receive free money from the government just by being NDN. All of these things are either distortions or lies. The reservations are prisons where non-Native perpetuate crimes with impunity. The land desecrated by outsiders to make it poisonous to all that live there. Never in my life did I ever receive "free money" from anyone. They tell us the past is the past while they live in luxury from a legacy that was at our expense. They will never understand you, and if you show friendship to them and try to explain it, most will despise you for it. In a world where only the individual matters and what material things you can buy. Where the lie is the truth and the truth is a lie. But do not let it devour you. Remember who *you* are, and know that you should not burden your heart with their hate or you shall become one of them and suffer their fate. They will burn in the fires that they have built.

[@annprince4691]

Apparently the so called pilgrim fathers (the Puritanism) left Britai not because they were being persecuted but through their intolerance of the New concepts of Christianity like Methodism Evangelical thinking. They came to American colonies to cause havoc to their. Own and also to the indigenous peoples. It is obvious that concept of the land of the free is spurious to say the least. They did an excellent job of attempting to destroy the whole of the Indian nations but you are not alone there those have fought for your rights and others in other parts of the world who have seen the hypocrisy of the European usurper ie white Americans. I am ashamed that my forebears did this and I will state that the Indians did not entirely perish at Wounds knee to use an obvious example keep informing people and eventually Justice will prevail !

[@samhouston4326]

Saquora Romero-Cannon Agreed. The Native People need to stand up and be vocal as bad medicine is flowing across this Land from the South, making false claims and spreading lies that the spirit of their ancestors walk this land that is the Continental USA. I am speaking of the latino and their La Raza banner. Though many Native Brothers and Sisters where taken by the Spanish to Mexico and the Caribbean to serve as slaves and concubines, those who call themselves latino and fly the La Raza flag make no claim to this. They are mostly Aztec or Mayan, two cultures that bore no historical claim to this ancestral land. A large number of latino actually have no indigenous Amer-Indian DNA being mostly Hispanic with Berber or sub-Saharan African. Brazilians, who are mostly Portuguese decent do not call themselves latino. The word latino is a PC term, not a race. It follows inline with the Mexican Government's forced practice of "mestizo" to promote Mexican unity and pride. Another PC term. Latino's use correlates with the principles of the Plan of San Diego (Texas) and the Plan of Aztlan, thus why it began its use in the mid 20th century. I say to you, Native Brothers and Sisters. Your voice, your language, your culture, your history is being purposefully used to serve the purpose of European descendants who are foreign to this Land who seek to colonize it for their own. Get vocal. Form a group and make demands that this bad medicine be stopped. Send a representative to Congress to address this. Geronimo hated the Mexican. Many Southwestern Nations fought against the Mexicans in the Mexican-American War. Yes, the White Man's Government did terrible things, but do you not see how Mexico and other Central American nations have treated their indigenous peoples and how that has not changed? That is coming here. As the La Raza drum beats louder, yours grows quieter.

Powerful words spoken by powerful actors, the rising out of dark oppression and dominance North American Indians lived in harmony with nature and the land and so to take away their land and freedom was a slow death of the feminine energies. This was also done in Ireland in the same brutal ways but somehow the culture, norms and values of both nations survived and this is victory and tryunpth of the grat spirit that moves through us all.

[@JackCrow0893]

This is a legend of long, long ago times. Two Indians desired to find the origin of thunder. They travelled north and came to a high mountain. These mountains performed magically. They drew apart, back and forth, then closed together very quickly. One Indian said, "I will leap through the cleft before it closes. If I am caught, you continue to find the origin of thunder." The first one succeeded in going through the cleft before it closed, but the second one was caught and squashed. On the other side, the first Indian saw a large plain with a group of wigwams, and a number of Indians playing a ball game. After a little while, these players said to each other, "It is time to go." They disappeared into their wigwams to put on wings, and came out with their bows and arrows and flew away over the mountains to the south. This was how the Passamaquoddy Indian discovered the homes of the thunderbirds. The remaining old men of that tribe asked the Passamaquoddy Indian, "What do you want? Who are you?" He replied with the story of his mission. The old men deliberated how they could help him. They decided to put the lone Indian into a large mortar, and they pounded him until all of his bones were broken. They moulded him into a new body with wings like thunderbird, and gave him a bow and some arrows and sent him away in flight. They warned him not to fly close to trees, as he would fly so fast he could not stop in time to avoid them, and he would be killed. The lone Indian could not reach his home because the huge enemy bird, Wochowsen, at that time made such a damaging wind. Thunderbird is an Indian and he or his lightning would never harm another Indian. But Wochowsen, great bird from the south, tried hard to rival Thunderbird. So Passamaquoddies feared Wochowsen, whose wings Glooscap once had broken, because he used too much power. A result was that for a long time air became stagnant, the sea was full of slime, and all of the fish died. But Glooscap saw what was happening to his people and repaired the wings of Wochowsen to the extent of controlling and alternating strong winds with calm. Legend tells us this is how the new Passamaquoddy thunderbird, the lone Indian who passed through the cleft, in time became the great and powerful Thunderbird, who always has kept a watchful eye upon the good Indians. ~~~Jack Crow~~~
