R.I.P. my beautiful Ina. ❤️. We are strong people. We’ve had to survive and still be here. My great grandmother had 16 children. She wanted Indian blood to walk these lands. She said, they couldn’t take her womb from her. She and my Cherokee great grandfather raised them well. Until, they were taken away to school. We are the only race on this earth without a voice.

The Great Spirit has helped far more than modern man realises, but the coming cataclysmic events that were prophesied long ago, now awaken man through suffering, so that he may recognise his Creator through his natural laws, such as you reap what you sow, and the law of homogeneity and gravity. And when each man prospers, his family and his tribe prosper, then his larger community, until all nations stand around the sacred fire in a circle, full of trust and equal respect for one another. For then love will rule the earth, as it should have been long ago, but for the Darkness, and the many fears it brought, especially those of scarcity, abandonment and of life and death itself.

She learned her language.. do you know how hard it is to learn native languages as an adult? So she has a messy home but she preserved something that if lost can never be got back. She was a protester before that. She's done more in her life than i have, with my education and comfy home!

11 minutes in & I wish to thank you for this documentary! It's all starting to make sense to me now. I have deeper respect now for the Indian society's fight for identity & self regulation. After all, you are the true owners of the land called Americas... Please unite as Indian men & challenge Congress where the laws are made. Have the laws changed in your favour because a society of broken men breeds a society of broken people. It is evident in the crimes committed against women & children in Indian societies. Ditch the alcoholism & drug abuse as a means to escape your feelings of hopelessness & start fighting for your rights. Right now, your women & children are suffering under your actions of abuse. 😢🌹

Research the many wars between the Comanche and Apache for starters! Then look into the wars between the Apache and the Mexicans! Yet, EVERYTHING is ALWAYS Whitey's fault?

@@heidifarstadkvalheim4952 the Christian God had nothing done, it was the fault of the people who were acting in the name of God!

But I'm convinced as well, that there must be a higher power, and that there are more things between heaven and earth than we know, but what it is...?! I think, there is no answer!

[@WarmongerYT]

@@sabineschmude2292 Yet your logic isn't logic at all. You believe a spec that came from nothing collided with another spec that came from nothing & created& evolved into everything. 🤯. Not to mention all the planets u believe what all the planets are made of also came from nothing. It's incredibly naive at best to believe everything came from nothing. This is a fallen world. God doesn't do evil. Evil /& the devil do evil. If there was no sin and no evil on this planet then it would be quite a different world don't you think? If God took away freewill then what would be the point? If we all had no free will/could not make any decisions for ourselves we would literally just be robots. We're only meant to be on this Earth for a short time. Eternity is for longer than our brains can even process. The people that mock people for believing in God are the people who believe that 2 specs that came from "nothing" collided & made everything that you see in & on this planet & outer space - fish, birds, people, oceans, octopus, horses, walruses, deer, elephants, goats, lions, snakes, oxygen, clouds, planets, ect ECT. So tell me which belief is crazier? When we see a building we naturally can know to assume that it had a builder/ someone built it. You & I trying to understand God creating us is like trying to explain algebra to a dog. We aren't even able to use all of our brain function. To think we all happened from nothing, I believe is crazier than to believe we do not have a creator. And of course then we are confronted with wondering: well who created our creator? & So on & so forth. We are not meant to understand or be able to comprehend yet. .

Empower these children to be leaders and fear no one, teach them self respect wins out, in the end.

[@michaelstorto8658]

All my heart is with you my Native brothers and sisters.... I thank for this video showing clearly the state of US Gov.neglicence and ignorance , as also the general US population. And beautiful powerful women in the Pineridge reservation who go beyond all frontiers to bring hope, support, guidance and teaching into the women communities. I have been able to visit Wounded Knee to show as little tribute I could to all you brothers and sisters so courageous and patient and to those who have gone to the other world long time, but whose heritage will last forever. My heart cries with YOU.. and I know that it is of no help, but it cries.....for so much suffering, so much hatred you faced, so much racism during many centuries, so much slaughter and horible bloodshed, so that the white man could steal your land....and freedom. The Creator of All Things made you beautiful, strong, gifted, and taught you knowledge of creation, of "all people, all relations" in whatever luves on this sacred earth....This is what modern man wants to ignore, concerned as he is to make more money yet.... But this Sacred Knowledge the Creator gave you brothers and sisters is the most powerful gift from heaven, please do not loose it. I will continue to pray with you from distance and remember what native aunts and oncles shared with me so precious...... This what I was allowed to learn has become the most powerful teaching in my life, now 71. Ho Mitakuye Oyasin and may the Creator touch you , so to overcome all pain, suffering, loss....Thank you dear native brothers and sisters.......the wind will whisper your song of suffering and joy everywhere, as it does with the prayers of the chanupa.

Beautiful film and thank you for the Honesty. Native people need and Deserve so much more Respect and Help than they have been Or Are getting! Job creation Where they live, or within walking distance (since transportation can be and frequently Is a problem, at least until they have been earning money for a good while.) Some kind of help in dealing with the addiction and depression, etc. that does Not clash with their Native values/beliefs. Health care that is available Locally and is Decent, to address the many difficulties that come with living such an isolated life, like maternal health care, catching cancer Early so it can be treated Successfully, medical addiction management, etc. These are just a few ideas...♥️

It is the same in Canada. I am not aboriginal but I live in the north with many nations and it is the same story here. The Canadian government subsidizes them but its a debt peonage trap.. designed to keep the people docile and eternally linked to a cycle of poverty and shame. Its not just forced assimilation, its cultural erasia. I would recommend any books by Chris Hedges if you really want to understand the colonial system you are living under.

[@greatmystery11]

First you reminded me of George Carlin and then Noam Chomsky speaking of education.Then you reminded me of this quote. You who are so wise must know that different nations have different conception of things. You will not therefore take it amiss if our ideas of the white man's kind of education happens not to be the same as yours. We have had some experience of it. Several of our young people were brought up in your colleges. They were instructed in all your sciences; but, when they came back to us, they were all bad runners, ignorant of every means of living in the woods, unable to bear either cold or hunger. They didn't know how to build a cabin, take a deer, or kill an enemy. They spoke our language imperfectly. They were therefore unfit to be hunters, warriors, or counsellors; they were good for nothing. We are, however, not the less obliged for your kind offer, though we decline accepting it. To show our gratefulness, it the gentleman of Virginia shall send us a dozen of their sons, we will take great care with their education, instruct them in all we know, and make men of them. -Canassatego - Treaty of Lancaster Peace.

The problem is nor everyone is college bound and it's very sick that its pushed on people that just want a regular life. Who want to be in debt in order to work. Not everyone wants to do that. Teaching kids to drive safely and how to get jobs should be what's being pushed not college.
