You gotta love Russell I mean he will school anybody that crosses any kind of little line against American Indians. He will school them and school them well. I will miss him
That is how you make a point, I really like how he doesn't get angry but instead shares his knowledge and it is clearly appreciated by a respectful listener.
While I think your intentions are good, American Indians are like any other peoples that suffered under colonial rule. Dont pigen hole them into a stereo type, it not about good vs bad but how humans treat each other.
What a weird video…😂 First we see the camera focused on Russell Means as the interviewer asks him questions….then we listen to exactly the same audio with the camera focused on the woman. Didn’t they have an editor?
@Jake Blues I think the term “American of Native heritage” sounds better if I’m being honest. It is because in today’s interconnected world, if I say Indians, people might mistake me of referring to people from India.
@@OGDweeb The thing about Magua is you can understand where his revenge plot and hatred comes from, as anyone who's entire family was slaughtered could go down the path Magua does.
I love 'The Last of The Mohicans' movie. It's always my favorite and I don't think time will fade it away the historical values the movie has represented to its core. The characters you guys played in the movie were outstanding in every aspect you guys had expected to show to the audience. Excellent work!
It doesn’t make sense though…the name came from a colonizer who thought he was in India but wasn’t. I don’t understand the logic of fighting against settler colonialism, but choosing to call yourself by a name that was started by…settler colonialists. I wish he had a wiser take on it, but 🤷🏽♀️
Do you have some matrial with Eric Schweig from Last of the Mohicans :( there's no interview with him of this time 1992 and he was such incredible character in this movie
I'm proud to say that it was my ancestors The Taino who were referred to as Un gente en dios. There wasn't a place called India in 1492 so I like to brag that we are the original Indians. LOL. In 1492 India was called Hindustan.
I prefer to recognize people #1 as individual human beings. Everything else is a distant 2nd at best. #2 I find it essentially meaningless to group people together by virtue of being from the same major continent (Africa, Asia, Europe, etc.). As much as possible, effort should be made to identify either a tribe or at least a smaller geographic region. The Cherokee are not the Navajo are not the Nez Perce are not the Sioux, etc., just as the Spanish are not Germans nor are the Mongols Vietnamese.
Вы обсалютно правы, каждая нация имеет право на свою индификацию по тем или иным признакам, но проживая в определённом регионе( в географическом аспекте), нужно очень чутко ощущать ту тонкую грань между самоопределением и началом национализма во всех смыслах, чтобы это не вылилось в уродливаю форму нацизма и привосходства, как это случилось на Украине. Где родные по крови народы, с чей-то поскудной идеи превосходства, стали как цепные обезумевшие псы рвать друг друга. Так что самоопределение безусловно должно быть, все народы имеют на это право, но без лишнего фанатизма и дури в башке. А так каждый народ на Матушке Земле имеет право быть и должен быть, ибо так заповедано нашим создателем. Ведь и радуга не будет столь прекрасна, если из неё убрать хоть один из цветов (синий, белый или красный😉)

let's use term ''first nations'', nothing wrong with that. Indians is an absolutely wrong term. America derrives from the name of Amerigo Vespucci who was the continent named after. Being called a native is not necessarily to be taken as an insult, it's just a term denoting the fact that you have been here since time immemorial and did not imgigrate. not in the recent times or even in ancient times, but in the prehistory. which makes you an original population.
russel means represents all indians in unique way Even congress respects him .. but each indian man woman child needs to first respect themselves all natural native things follows ..
Obviously you didn't watch the part where he told why he hated the English. Stop looking for good guys and bad guys, consider why everyone was in this place at this time. It was the most powerful film I've ever seen. The English damn sure we're the good guys. Neither were the French. The American Indian tribes fought and killed each other before white people arrived on the screen too!!
He is older here you can tell, but he is so handsome. I find everything beautiful about american Indians their hair, skin coloring, bone structure and height.❤
With all due respect to Russell, but the term "indio" came from when the Spanish thought they had reached India rather than a different continent. It's the same as in English with "indian". It's a misnomer, so Native Americans IS the right term.
India wasn't a country in 1492. It was called Hindustan at that time. Also, all legal documents, Constitutional mentions, and treaties use the word "Indian" or "American Indian". Changing their name to "Native" or "Indigenous" lumps them in with many other people (Hawaiian, Samoan ...etc). Just as he mentioned in 3:12 into the video. Changing their name was the government's way to create a loophole to say they don't recognize those amendments and treaties.
This lady is a good interviewer. She lets Mr. Means speak.
i dont think that russel m4
You gotta love Russell I mean he will school anybody that crosses any kind of little line against American Indians. He will school them and school them well. I will miss him
I know! I miss him every single day.
At Least when he schooled this lady on the term " Native American " he didn't behave in a hostile/ asshole manner towards her,her being naive and all
That is how you make a point, I really like how he doesn't get angry but instead shares his knowledge and it is clearly appreciated by a respectful listener.
He was such a warrior. Really all Americsn Indians are.

Now that's a real native American. 100% real American

Thank you Mr. MEANS for mentioning my island country. Am Micronesians but actually my ancestors are Native American..
Russell Means & Wes Studi meet each other again, in the 1998 Western Version called Wind River.

Native American is a government term. I refuse to allow them to define me that way. I am an American Indian.

Ummm. Isn't America a government term? And Indian is what Columbus called them because he thought he made it to the Indies?

He was great in the movie and is so right about Wes Studi. Absolutely steals the movie.
and Eric Schweig/Uncas too

Awesome they showed the outtakes after the officially shown interview. Love Russell Means. A true warrior and role model. Rest in Peace great man.

Russell did a phenomenal acting job in his role. Last of the Mohicans is my top 3 films of all time.
I have watched the movie time and time again, great movie
He's amazing. Powerful. And gorgeous
What an Amazing voice this man had.
Thank you Elder Means. I miss you. We need you in 2021.
I will always refer to them as AMERICAN INDIANS!
I really don't know what's the difference, they both mean the same...

I loved Russell and Wes they were wonderful. The American Indians are the only people's who should receive reparations.
Do you have some matrial with Eric Schweig from Last of the Mohicans :( there's no interview with him of this time 1992 and he was such incredible character in this movie
I cant find either.I dont no why?
Im looking for it now too

The interviewer is so stiff and nervous hah hah and Russel is quite relaxed ,American Indians they own the land so they are Real Americans!
I am so impressed with Russell Means!
My "take away" from this interview is that ms Wygant was still learning her job.
