- Members of New Zealand's Institute for Excellence in the Maori Langauge visited the Wounded Knee National Historic Landmark that marks the site of the massacre of over 200 Lakota men, women and children by US forces in 1890. The visit brought together Maori and Lakota people, both groups acknowledging their shared history of repression and their hopes for language revitalization.

To the Maori people, Thank you for coming and bringing us Indigenous Peoples together.....Hekta-o-eya unkyo stompi, Hena-o-hen-e-ya- um chlo-yapi k'tu a. We will be known forever by the tracks we leave behind.
Yeah. Like Nelson Appleton Miles. No one will ever forget his name.
SO HONORED THAT THEY CAME TO HONOR OUR ANCESTORS
❤️❤️❤️

♥️♥️♥️
The honour is ours, Thanks to your people from ours
There is no honor in what they think they can do to our sacred sites.. Kia maumahara tatou. We will never forgot yous.
Maori have been coming to Wounded Knee for many years to pay our respects. One of the first groups to visit this Sacred place was in 1975! May our connections to the people and the land be always strong!
Tears and chills. What a beautiful way to approach sacred land. May we all learn to honor each other.
beautiful vid..all my relations. ty
Yeah, this is how it's done.
Love to our Maori brothers and sisters for paying their respects to our Lakota relatives in such a touching manner.
I appreciate our Maori brothers and sisters, for supporting us, through everything! They were doing haka at Standing Rock!! 🥲🙏🏽

sorry what means Nina Wopida?
It basically means Thank you.
Ayo aniinishni 😞
My Mother is Maori and my Father is Cherokee/Seminole, with a hint of Irish as I always say...But I am proud to be of both worlds and feel the pain from both, my ancestors I pray for their guidance and strength when it comes to fighting any battle....They are my life line as well as Mother Earth.
I was feeling pretty crappie thanks for some redemption.
That's one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen in my whole life.
Me too. Aroha ❤ from NZ
Ome' long live the Maori people long live the Lakota oyate' . Yokoke' am akaana'( thank you friends)
Hiloha'homa Yaataheee! YA WA YAH WEH!
Thank you for honoring my ancestors in such a beautiful way.
The Honour is ours, much love
alone, we are few... indigenous, we are many. peace and unity to All Nations!!! ✊
My grandson is Maori (Tuhoe, Nga Puhi, Nhati Pukeko) and Lakota (from a family in Wounded Knee)...
I am a member of the Northern Cheyenne Nation and finally visited the site during our Annual Fort Robinson Cheyenne Break out Run. Their is a Great Presence there and my Nahko'ehe (Mother) and I got out of the car and we heard men singing..... WE looked all over and mind you it was dead of winter. We heard men singing!!! We noticed the sound was coming from the trees... Their spirits are still there and resiliant
AnthonyyNC heaayaaa!
Blessed Be
That's our relatives brother. Yours too!
Im in New Zealand and I read the book Bury my Heart at Wounded Knee. It should be in every school. It made me cry. Aroha ❤️
Hey bro is it cool if a outsider goes to visit the rez
This is so great to have found this clip. I am of Maori descent working in remote reservations. Thank you!
What beautiful mahi you do
Kiaora e hoa
I am Māori too I would love to work in remote native reservations too!
@@talisharipikoi5811Kiaora, I would love to work there as well.
And there's new genetic evidence that Polynesians made pre-Columbian contact with Native Americans. A genetic study on 800 Polynesians from different islands showed Native American ancestry tracing back as early as 1100 AD. The only explanation is that somehow and somewhere our 2 peoples met up, had children then those same offspring passed their Native American genes down for the next 900 years in the Polynesian islands. Hope the solidarity between us never fades 🇲🇽❤ 🇳🇿
Maori respect for Wounded Knee is a profound respect for those in the other side of the veil. God Bless that Warrior clearing the way , all Maori visitors All Lakota people and highest respect to those lying in wait at Wounded Knee......their souls speak ... listen... ... their call is there ... God bless all of you
Thanks to our Maori whanau and our Lakota whanau for allowing us Maori on your land much appreciated love you guys
Thank you for the visit, the respect, tears, and the prayers. As a Lakota it was very heartfelt to see this video and appreciate your people's prayers and songs.
God I'm bawling 😢
Blessed Be to the Lakota and the Maori peoples for this ceremony of shared grief and respect. May all who witness this be blessed.
briannaleora yesss!!
This video should have been longer. God bless the worlds native peoples. Keep it Tribal , never forget who you are and where you came from. Peace and Love : )
thank you for honoring my ancestors. I love the Maori culture!!!
👍🙂
What a beautiful tribute. We can all learn from this type of respect, incorporation and acknowledgment of the beauty in our own culture and the beauty of other people’s traditions as well. How seamlessly these rites and traditions marry when we pay homage to others 💜💜💜
this is powerful stuff..i shed tears during the ceremonial approach to the cemetary
+Tommaso Famularo Yes, I agree. I was just as moved to tears.
Thank you for paying respects to our brothers and sisters the Lakota. Bless you all for this!
Pila Maiya Wakan Tanka, I am a Tongan (Polynesian) myself with a great love and connection with the Lakota Oyate. We brothers and sister will be forever standing in the name of the Great Spirit, the Creator, Tunkasila

This is so moving. Blessings to the members of New Zealand's Institute for Excellence in the Maori Language.
I am an old white lady from Canada, watching with tears streaming down my cheeks. I live near The Algonquin Pikwakanagan First Nation People. I have many Indigenous family members and good friends. My son in law is Mi-kmaq from Moncton Nova Scotia. I feel such deep shame over the way my people, white people, my anscestors, have treated, and continue to treat our Indigenous Peoples. It's a heavy ache in my heart. Thank you for sharing this beautiful ceremoney. Meegwetch waki ijiwebis-i🙏
AAAHO! Waste' .... Ahéhee'...from the brothers and sisters of the southwest Dine'....i found this very moving and tearful thank you for sharing. (walk in beauty)
So beautiful. I’d love to learn the ways of the Maori more intimately. It’d be nice to visit and learn from every tribe😍 what a dream
Beautiful! Thank you Maori people live long!
Thanx for representing us there.... Much love to our native Indians brothers...
Love frm nz...
This is a breathtaking beautiful tribute, so respectful, deep, profound of the Maori. Wow. Thank you for taping it and sharing. I almost thought I was going to see "Thunderheart" engraved on the memorial. I say that with great respect for the memorial and for the message the scenes in that movie portray about the very near ancestors of the Lakota who live today and the terrible senseless massacre of 200! defenseless people including women and children. Appalling. Thunderheart, the film, has very moving scenes at the Wounded Knee memorial, and elsewhere there, and, it has Val Kilmer and Sam Shepherd and Graham Greene and is one of my favorite films of all time, as is Whale Rider. A ho!
Kiaora & Nisa bula vinaka, name is Issy I'm both Maori/Fijian. Dad's Fijian mums Maori. Shes ngaitahu south Island (Murihiku).watching this video brought tears to my eye's. Having both Maori/Fijian blood's through my vein is an honor. Pride with (Mana) I leave in Canada now. When I watched this video, my heart starts to pumped up ready for battle. Thank you so much for shearing this vids,..(tu meke) Mean Maori mean.
I hope they never stop paying homage to their ancestors. A beautiful and united people. I felt warmth, sadness and love.
Thank you so much Austronesian brothers and sisters, for standing for the Native Americans. From the Philippines.
I love you so much this. Honor to all Tribes of Mother Earth. Love love love love love love love. Apache and Cherokee Texas
Terrific video. May every blessing from the Creator flow to all of you. Mi-gwetch Gitche Manitou!
We need more of this, Im Maori and us indigenous people need to stick together, much love to your people.
Wopila!! (Thank-you!)
This was/is absolutely beautiful.
Wow I never thought I’d be in tears 💙💙
mahalo nui maori brothers & sisters * my heart will never stop aching from the pain inflicted by hatred, greed & indifference to deep spiritual connectedness to all life * may great spirit look kindly upon us all 🙏🕯
Stay strong our Lakota brothers! Kia Kaha (Stay and be strong) we are the same spiritual people my deepest respects to your people and YOUR tribal lands!
I would have liked to see more of the ceremony. Love and respect to all spirits gathered here.

sharing the grief is really a very beautiful thing. May they be blessed
The power of spiritual acknowledgement and respect... thank you for sharing this so that those who are lost from their tribes can remember. I seek my tribe 😔
I hope you find your people and find your essence
We "Maori are open to all people, there are European people who have made Maori their way of living and understanding of life
thank you for your respects my fellow indigenous peoples my your ancestors love surround you
Much love to all Nations & Tribes. May you always be connected, because all have endured great sufferage, injustices, pain, and tremendous losses over land and water, that has been greatly disrespected.
Beautiful, precious, sacred people.
I always shed a few tears when I watch this….every single time. And I have watched this many many times.
Qwaqwaii/Ah'hee'he/A'ho! LOVE from Hopi AZ!
May all of our ancestors Rest in Peace as we remember to find Peace in their Rest. May we all trace their steps in order to remember who we are, what we are, and why we are.
Ometeotl, Brothers and Sisters of all Nations.🙏🏾🦉🙏🏾
Wow that is beautiful. You brought healing to that place no doubt. 🙏
This has me crying... I felt everything.
Thankful for all Natives, you care for nature!! 😘 Thx so much
On our way to Standing Rock Sioux Nation from the Navajo Nation in 2016 we stopped also at Wounded Knee. It is true you can feel the pain, the misery, the fear that our Lakota grandparents and children felt as they died that day, the same emotions felt by my Navajo ancestors at Ft. Sumner NM and on the way there called the Long Walk where over 2,000 Navajo also perished as they watched loved ones die at the hands of the same evil government's manifest destiny twist ideology military, the US Calvary. Where is the apology? Thank you to our Maori brothers and sisters.
Why am I crying is like they are communicating with my soul
Thank you new Zealand .. watching this was very emotional... thank you. Respect. One love
Hau/Kia ora - it's wonderful to see some Maori leaders paying respects in the traditional way to the Great Lakota people at this important site.'"Hótȟaŋiŋpi" is the Lakota word for, "They will have their say."' Just a bit of research I see the 'ŋ' in Lakota is pronounced the same as Maori 'ng'?
Tino pai. E pa to hau ...
I got tingles all over my body I know I am not ment for regular civilization I feel my spirit ...as of a native ...one that want to connect with land ..and his ansestors
I still can't watch these videos w/o getting emotional.
Kia Ora My great+ grandparents were killed at Wounded Knee, Gray Eyes, brother of Chief Spotted Elk/Big Foot. Pilamayaye/whakawhetai koe ♥️
powerful...a testament to the importance of community and tradition, something that has been lost to the modern cultures.
To the great warrior maori people visiting our wounded knee memorial site in South Dakota. The brutal Cheney rush massacre of April 17th of 1931. On the crow creek sioux Indian reservation of SD northwest of the town stephan along the narrow long valley just below the hilly prairie land country along the beautiful Missouri River! This is our very sad tragic story and the Dakota and the Lakota sioux warriors victory charge! We always remembered it as the American civilians intruders involvement that really started the Buffalo County war or the Great war for the northern part of the reservation! During the the time of the sooner policy act the reservation land take over of the twenty century! The only Dakota sioux Indian reservation in South Dakota actually fought a heroic victories war to save their northern reservation last Buffalo hunting grounds and their northern reservation rich fertile farm lands along the beautiful Missouri River! Also There's a very sad forgotten tragedy and the last Dakota and Lakota sioux warriors true victory song! Many decades after the wounded knee massacre. It actually started in the nearly the entire month April of 1931. The continued harassment by the local towns people and the ranchers in the northern part of the reservation! The American civilians intruders wanted the Dakota sioux Indian people leave immediately from their own reservation homelands! The early days of the great depression area of the two warm days 17th through the 18th of April of 1931. On the crow creek sioux Indian reservation SD northwest of the town stephan. The only resistance was a large encampment of a little over sixty hunkpati Dakota sioux people were still definitely living on Cheney rush, actually in a long narrow valley just below the hilly prairie land country along the beautiful Missouri River. On the morning on same day the Dakota sioux men went on a hunting trip on the other side of the reservation. When a large party of over a hundred white civilians came with guns and rifles! The Dakota sioux Indian encampment of traditional people had never expected no one to arrival there! The American civilians seriously wanted to take away the Dakota sioux Indians inside Northern reservation rich fertile farm lands along the beautiful Missouri River. When the American civilians had arrived there. An altercation of violence that really happened there! Just like many Indian wars had happened in the us history! The American intruders started a full bloody massacre fight! The American civilians had less fewer casualties omly three had died during the fierce fighting massacre! The entire Dakota sioux Indian encampment were all killed there! The American civilians had built a huge bound fire an burned the poor buried Dakota sioux bodies to burned ashes remains! Then they buried the ashes remains north on top of the one of two rolling small hills. The one hill on the left side this how it really happened there. Around that same time will playing along the Missouri River the Dakota sioux elders were young children heard the noice an ran towards what was happening over their. An very sudden shocking saw an witness the entire tragedy unfolded there will hiding a safe distance away. Many years later they told the story well crying and wipt of the tragic massacre. There's no memorial site there because of the forgotten tragedy that happened there.of the fallen Dakota sioux people. It's also the most huanted place on the reservation. Some of the Dakota sioux indians Were descents of bullghost the Dakota sioux Indian war leader later becoming the spiritual advisor of the ghost dance uprising of 1890 he inspired many Lakota sioux people to the ghost dance celebration in standing rock SD. Bullghost is buried ground is north of the reservation at big bend committee. The Cheney rush massacre is the only tragic massacre the someone tried to cover up the evidence that never happened there? Bullghost has many relatives from standing rock to crow creek SD. The hunkpati Dakota sioux people of the crow creek sioux Indian reservation still remember the sad tragic day of the Cheney rush massacre! Just like the sand creek massacre of 1864 and the wounded knee massacre of 1890. The Cheney rush massacre site is still there today half a mile northwest from the town stephan along the highway to the capital of Pierre SD north to the small rolling hill south is the beautiful Missouri River. on the same day of the Cheney rush massacre and the American civilians had buried the Dakota sioux Indian burned ashes remains in a secret mass grave site! The children want an told everyone on the reservation the very sad tragic story of their own people at the Cheney rush massacre! Many of the men in the Dakota sioux Indian encampment had entire families and young pregnant young ladies at the brutal Cheney rush massacre! The next day a larger party of over three hundred angered Dakota sioux Indian warriors were coming ready to fight against the American civilians! The American civilians we're setting up a camp site near the massacre site. Someone told they would be facing a huge massive large numbers of warriors coming towards them from a great distance away! The American civilians made the main battlefield on the prairie land country. The American civilians were surprised so many Dakota sioux Indian warriors were arriving! Iron Nation's kul wicasa oyate, the Lakota sioux warriors may have assisted in fighting to! In the sioux Indian warriors faver a swift running battle was fought turned into full bloody conflict battlefield scene! Probably Many more American intruders may have died in the fierce fighting! An several brave sioux Indian warriors would lose their lives in the very intense battlefield moment! Dust would rise up from the horses hooves made a great impressive fighting moment! The American civilians couldn't take any more fierce fighting! The rest of the defeated wounded weakened American civilians escaped or fled back across the reservation border lands! To thier ranches and towns never wanting to take back the hunkpati Dakota sioux indian people's traditional reservation Buffalo hunting grounds. The Cheney rush massacre is the last forgotten tragedy of the twenty century and the last forgotten Dakota sioux Indian war of the two warm days of spring time of 1931. The last forgotten true victory song for the Dakota and Lakota sioux people! The crow creek sioux Indian reservation of SD. Is the only Dakotah sioux indian reservation east of the beautiful Missouri River still has its own tribal traditional boundaries Lands. The Dakota and Lakota sioux elders never lie about tragic stories of our brave dakota and Lakota sioux indian people's traditional lifestyle. We Were once the Great warriors of the northern Great plains of the 1800's. The beautiful peninsula lake shore of de Grey lake resort lodging is twenty four and a half miles north of the Cheney rush massacre site! Were the dances with wolves movie Civil War battle scene was made along the beautiful Missouri River. We still remember the Cheney rush massacre victory battlefield site that's still there today as a great resistance for our native American indigenous people of North America! One of our tribal members actually took camera pictures of the massacre site and the secret mass grave site. Many of these brave Dakota and Lakota sioux indian warriors may have truly fought bravery in world War '2. My historical information for today have a great wonderful day.
The Cheney rush massacre is not part of indian wars but a personal forgotten tragedy.
The comanche Indians of the southern great plains during the mid 1870s. Also had there last war against the American civilians Buffalo hunters bloody conflict battlefield scene! The Buffalo War of of 1877 the entire month of February the last comanche war chief black horse led his warriors in razed brutal war party attacks against the American civilians intruders hunters In the panhandle of Texas frontier. The American us military forces finally drove back the comanche Indians to the reservation lifestyle. Ending the southern plains Indian warrior Buffalo hunting grounds forever. My historical information for today. Have a great fabulous wonderful day.
Bless all of you, living and passed on.
I love seeing these Indigenous cultural crossovers
In segno di rispetto per loro 💝 un abbraccio affettuoso a tutti voi ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ Adriana da Roma ♥️
I am tearing up😢 beautiful and touching..
Spiritually strong, peace respect and love.
Wow this is such a beautiful thing to show your respect for this tragic past event and loss of life.
very emotional
My people make me so proud
Great to see the Maori saying how they were connected by shared experiences. Especially when the people of wounded knee were wiped out.
What do you mean?
The wailing from our wāhine for the Lakota whānau taken really pulled on the heart strings. Proud of the whānau visiting and paying respect to the mate of the whenua. Ka nui te aroha kia koutou 🫶
I think when I watched "Once Were Warriors" back in my 20's how very close our people Struggles and history are very Akin .Myself at one point then I felt like "We can take back what is ours" but then it gets complicated an better off "Saving what we can"... Have always felt a Kinship with these Peoples that know our hurt and I know of theirs we are Family, of the same.
We have always admired your culture, so much in common it’s almost uncanny, our world view, our spiritual side, how we care an protect land an water, I’ve always been told by my elders, we do not own the land or water, we are the guardians, and while we are here, we are caretakers of the whenua 🏔️and awa 🌊
An once were warriors gave an insight to what it was like for indigenous people after colonisation in that era, alcoholism, gangs, domestic violence, and many more problems they helped create an left us in, that’s the greatest movie to come out of our small nation, but us kiwis sure do punch above our weight, glad you resonated with that movie, such a sad an powerful story, just like our generation that came from that violence we stand strong to make a change for the next
That was a great and very respectful watch I Loved it...
How good was the cuzzy with the broom stick taiaha
Much love to the Maori for traveling over the great water to pay respect to our people . 🦬🦅🪶
Beautiful... Much love from New Zealand
Which ones are the "savages"? Those who have a peaceful demonstration? Or those who do harm to disagree?
we are all savages
I'm Maori when I rejected the Christian faith I was indoctrinated into I became a born again savage LOL
@@mb68nz35 From what the europeons have done in the past, it's pretty plain who was actually the "savages", All people will fight to save their lives and their country.
This is true respect❤️
Something I believe no Wasicu will ever understand or comprehend. And they called us savages? 😞
I'm 64 Māori everyday I learnt at school what savages my people were it hurt to hear it all the time but I knew they were the savages not us
Very interesting. Maori people have quite a bit in common with American Indians, Both were still are warriors and have been similarly treated by people from colonial powers.
Actually we weren't treated the same way
Yea that's right, we weren't treated like them!!! But the painful memories of what my tupuna/ancestors, went through like wholesale confiscation of their whenua after the land wars or should I say the New Zealand wars of the 1860s was still the same as the Lakota... But I think our brothers and sisters over there got shipped into reservations we didn't... Although the Colonial Govt at the time were honestly thinking about a similar type rule but that would have started more war the last shots that ended our land war against the white man was only in 1916 when the authorities went to arrest Rua Kenana at Maungapohatu, Tuhoe country!!! From 1800s til now we're still fighting but this time instead of a gun we fight the good fight with pen, paper and the internet now...lol, Mauri Ora...
Maori were never treated in any way like America has treated this beautiful Culture.
@@sherrytawhai5027 how so e hoa? let me see; both eventually completely colonised, most of both of our lands stolen, disease ravaged our numbers... many other SIMILARities too
Make a connection and show respect
Wow! Brought tears to my eyes 😢 God bless you wonderful people for having empathy 🙏💚 I consider you all my brothers and sisters in Christ 🙏💖
We share the same pain our two cultures. Well worth the visit to pay respects I'll say e whanau #MAURIORAAAA!
Goosebumps!
My heart goes out to our native cousins.
History always repeats and never will rest in peace.
