I met this man in Colorado. I attended an AIM meeting. He was friendly, passionate, and to hear him speak was mesmerizing. He speaks the truth. I know he is sorely missed. He would be appalled at what is happening on our border. Imagine the poison of the Mexican Cartels oozing into the Restervations. I pray for my ancestors people...strength, wisdom, and the ability to hear our Fathers and Grandfathers warn them from Cartel Association.
I did meet Russell in London in the 1980s at a speech and I was very fortunate to hear him, and today this is making me cry in this terrible time of disrespect to the earth sky and sea , thank you so much Russell 🌲🐦🌺❤️
I'm a native American from m.n ojibwe tribe. I'm only 42yrs old and I'm pact with the wisdom of an old man. I've been through so much shit I should be DEAD by now. But I will say Russel means was one of the best and last.
The impact of Russell Means lives on in the ❤ "s that carry his vision. The passing of the founding fathers of the American Indian Movement Russell Means, Dennis Banks and Clyde Belcourt is truly 💔 for our people. They were our voice, they were the movers and shakers. Without them the Second Coming of the Second Calvary will finish their agenda on the indigenous of Turtle Mountain.😮
Russell Charles Means (November 10, 1939 - October 22, 2012) was an Oglala Lakota activist for the rights of American Indian people, libertarian political activist, actor, writer, and musician.
Allan Nielsen ...as Russell stated ...the R and the D...are the same party...as Its also stated..Two wings of the Same Bird...and that CONSTITUTION he speaks of..is being Shreded by our politicians ...Especially our 2nd Amendment...and wanting to Disarm the LAW ABIDING POPULATION...I forgot ...I'm watching another RUSSELL MEANS Video (hence my remarks on what he's said...I,'ll share the title in a second... "RUSSELL MEANS: Welcome to the Reservation prison camp" its about an hour and a half long...A GREAT INTERVIEW FYI.... I'm sorry to hear of your Dying 🙏🙏 I'll place you in my thoughts and prayers ...watch this other video if you haven't already...An amazing Man ...
coming from someone who didn't grow up with wise elders nearby, I consider Russel Means a beautiful grandfather figure that continues to guide from the great beyond. thank you for your wisdom, for your courage, and for your sensitive heart.

One of the most influential books I've ever read; Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee" written by Dee Brown in 1971. Subtitle; An Indian History of the American West. I still carry a tattered paperback copy that I bought in 1974. In the 1930s, my white aunt Merle, married a young man from the Flathead Reservation in Western Montana. My white grandparents didn't care about the fact that he was an Indian. ( Indian was common name for Them back then) His parents did care. 1. She was White and 2. She wasn't a Catholic. She did convert, and after they got to know her, and her decency, their feelings changed. This is something that has nothing to do with the book. Native Americans didn't achieve Citizenship status until 1924. Think about that. Slaves, who weren't born here, my ancestors and everyone else's were citizens before Native Americans. And, like Blacks, our Government, kept pushing them down, but they would rise up again and again and again. A Chief, whose name and tribe I can't remember said this; " The White Man Made Us Many Promises. He Kept But One. He Promised To Take Our Land, And He Took It."
There are those who do recognize or we wouldnt be talking about climate change and how to deal with it Hopefully there is still time to heal the planet
Maybe tribal the prophecy of White Feather will reach it's whole fruition and world which is who the message is for to see and change and save ourselves, White Feather's he's teaching of the state of the world in dire concern covers everything from Eco consciousness to the correct way of living with Mother Earth and the prophecy is said to not reach us all because many things of the modern world desensitize us that are obstacles to us , it is still true that the world is not ready to embrace the indigenous American teachings on good living yet because there seems to be some confusion as it what it means to follow a good teachings when we are so inundated with new ideas and new ways, people remain the same men and women will always fall in love, women will always bring new life and people will always want, in truth it is only our social or domestic environments that change.
This enlightened man, is simply incredible. He's right of course. He carries with him the wisdom of thousands of years. I thank him for gracing this earth. May his spirit be at peace.
@@donaldfeatheroff301 Some prophets are saying Jesus is coming back soon. If the bible is correct, many indians will regret being spirit-followers and not following Jesus. The bible even tells about how Christians used to follow the spirits. Those spirits appear to be demons. Bible also says Satan roams the earth like a roaring lion looking for souls to devour. I saw a video of Russell from when he was older. He said the U.S. Constitution had a lot of indian values built into it. I think a lot of the U.S. corruption was pushed by the same super-rich evil types of leaders today. Russell seemed like a nice guy, mellow.
That is so true Mother Nature is so beautiful and people don't know how to take care of her. It breaks my heart just seeing garbage and junk everywhere!!
Sadly, so very few of them would listen. They're so wrapped up in a blanket of materialism, that they continue to push those who know the truth and simplicity of our way of life aside, choosing instead the ways of greed, corruption, deceit, and a death of sorts, to true life. They are to be pitied... it's tragic!
all the settlers needed to do was look at the native americans and realize: no government, no taxes, no corporations. total freedom. Should have gone native and learned to live with nature. We would be so much better off.

Thank you Russell. May I add, that western civilization is dying out of disrespect for mother earth. And for all the natural gifts she bestows on mankind and all animal life. The earth is good, clean and pure. All our problems and diseases are a result of our greed, ignorance and alienation from the love of the planet. Return.

The gospel of Jesus Christ is the best news anyone will ever hear, and what a person does with this news will determine where he or she spends eternity. God is calling you to choose life. Call on the name of the Lord and be saved (Romans 10:13). So please believe that God sent His one and only son Jesus Christ to suffer and die on the cross to shed His blood on the cross for the forgiveness of your sins. Believe that Jesus died and was buried yet arose again in 3 days and ascended back to Heaven and is seated at the right hand of God The Father. Believe that without a relationship with Jesus Christ as your Savior you are headed for Hell and an eternity in The Lake Of Fire And Brimstone. That is The Gospel Message Of Jesus Christ, believe it and be saved
@@divinefeminine4206 All Christians aren't in Denial of Truth about our Relationship with the Earth, I am very much aware of how were connected to the Earth but Who made the World? It didn't just so happen out of Air, it took a God with imagination to create everything in this Universe, even in detail to the smallest tiny cell in our bodies! I agree that we are part of this Earth, just as the roots of every Tree is connected! Why wouldn't Heaven be real,do we just go back to Dust? What would be the purpose of that, No we go to Heaven or Hell after Death because we have a Soul and we have either lived in God's will or we have lived rejecting it! The Purpose of God coming to Earth as man Jesus Christ was to Save us from spending our Eternal life in Paradise, a separated life from God ,so God took it upon himself to come in the form of Man so we could be with him forever, it took shedding his perfect blood on the Cross to Forgive our Sins, only Christ's blood could FORGIVE, no amount of Animal Sacrifice blood could take away man's Sins! I don't think it's too much to ask of God Almighty for us to Only Believe in Him for exchange of Eternity with him! The True Source of Life is Jehovah he was the First and will be the Last of all thing's! I love the Earth, I believe in Caring for it, I believe we are wasteful and Sinful against our Earth and we will be judged one day for being cruel to God's creation and rejecting his Devine Purpose!
May your spirit rest up there with the Great Spirit above Us Russell Means. You were hear to spread the message of positivity. So will use it and some won’t hear what you say. I know your right and I finally it in my spirit too. 🙏🏽
I wish I could have just sat down with this man for a few hours and discuss the problems this world is facing and ways we could help or solve them. Rest easy cousin
In our Sikh Faith, our Satguru Ji teaches us in the first composition prayer called the Japji Sahib, written by our first Guru and founder Guru Nanak Dev Ji, in the Guru Granth Sahib Ji, our infinite and final Living Guru Now. Satguru ji says that the air is our Guru, without it we can not live or speak or breath , it is our spiritual teacher and if the Great Spirit God. Through it we are able to recite and sing the praises of the Lord God. Then satguru ji says that water is our father, it is a key component of all life and purifies us. Then Sarguru ji explains, our mother is the Great EARTH. Our Satguru ji explains tbat the Air, Water and Earth are all living entities which are under the control and have been created by God, the Great Spirit, who Sikhs call Parmartma. Great Artma which is souls, the essence of all souls , origins of creation. So i feel so blessed when I hear the Native Indigenous tribes of the Americas talk of the living mother earth. Guru Nanak Dev ji came to to earth because of the cries if the mother earth and the suns humans were causing to her body. She is alive, conscious and feels pain and happiness, and lives in fear and live of God. So the Sikhs are really connected to Mother earth.
Thank you for your message. I am so sorry for what you and your people have to endure . I hope the next generations to come will listen and do better. What a mess and tragedy created in the history of this world.
H-E-L-L-O!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️🙏🏼✌🏼 with lots of love for that message from Toronto Canada 🇨🇦 ❤️ i’m sorry to hear that you have left mother earth, we need more thinkers like you now more than ever. RIP and God bless ❤️🙏🏼
I take it is a great compliment to be addressed as a relative.I would’ve been honored to have met this man. Our disrespect for the earth and the bounty she has the offer will be our downfall.
I knew Russell, met him at Wounded Knee, through a friend named Pedro Bisonette. Pedro was murdered by Res goons trying to see his dying grandmother! I saw him again in 1998 at a Pow Wow in Colorado Springs. We had a short talk about the old days and Pedro. Bless his beautiful soul!
Rest in peace Russell my we all carry out your words and your work, native people and non native people as well. Please HONOR Russell on June 26, the day that the Oglala Sioux has set for remembering OUR BROTHER.
I too shall honour the spiritual work he began when he baptised me with the fire of the spirit in a Sweat Lodge long ago, perhaps even amongst the Oglala Lakota one day, so that the prophecies may be fulfilled. Hoka hey!
I will remember and honor Russell's beautiful spirit and gentle plea to his relatives to be aware of our Great grandmother earth. I have learned to feel that kind of love in my heart, it is crushing at times. Rest In Peace...your message is still resonating.
Deepest respect for you Russell Means !! Thank you for this beautiful video message !! If we all move from the brain to the HEART we will HEAL us all, Mother Earth and Unite as one
Love, honor and respect to this man who tried to do his best to raise awareness to many things that are so very important 💗 Our mother earth has a heart beat too. She sings a frequency of 528 Hz which the Scientist Nikola Tesla proved.
Miss and LOVE you my brother, hope you are at peace with our Mother... in the end we will prevail no doubt about it. Your voice will echo in eternity and your spirit will NEVER die, only the lies will die and you speak truth...
The loss of this man to the spirit world is a loss of a part of all of us. I miss his wise words I miss his truth, I can never forget the man that reached so deep into my own way and changed it for the better using only truth .
It is always a great pleasure to listen to Russell Means. He can get the Message across!! He is so engaging and wel spoken. I love to listen to him. ❤️😘
Thank you ! For sharing this message to me, and about our native world,i always listen to my father ,grandfather, about the world,and our native ways.its hard now, my father, grand father pass

Respect brother. Earth is a living organism. We should have respect. I am Native American so its says on my DNA but I do not know were I belong. I am an orphan. So hard to say. I always felt connected to earth to every living organism and my path just started when I found out who I am, I will be into self discovery. I love all my Native brothers. Coubt me on to fight for this place our Creator gave us. A'ho
Sir, that was the most brutally honest, heartfelt, sincere, loving bit of information I've ever heard. Please know that you have at the very least shaken one person to the soul. I wrote mother Earth an apology letter some time back (biodegradable) and buried it in my backyard. I've had some kind of s0iritual awakening over the past year.....my life is in chaos and I'm struggling to make sense of it all. Sir, I needed guidance so bad AND HERE YOU ARE!! THANK YOU. MUCH LOVE
Thank you, Brother Russell, for your wisdom and display of deep reverence to our Earth Mother.......your voice will continue to resonate amongst us for many more decades..
Thank you so much for this message. We get caught up with this fast pace life that has us programed to not see, and realize that we need to feel and connect with mother earth to heal a reconnect with her and appreciate her. This is the message that I need ed to hear today. It was an honor to receive this message. This is more real now than people know.
I am thankful that I have found the thoughts of this man and purely by chance. Thank you for posting this! I was born and raised in the Pacific Northwest and then blessed to go to a small ag/ mech college in the Southwest. I have been in person to Galup, NM, and that area, all of it is packed full of Native American culture. I was thinking about what I had seen there, the amazing Navajo friends and their sacred places. It dawned on me that all my life, here in Oregon, there is a lot of Native influence and many small tribes but we learn literally nothing about them. Other than most tribes now run casinos. The only time I can recall learning anything about the tribes I didn't read on my own volition or research out of curiosity came from the head librarian of my elementary school. My favorite day of the week was when my class got to go to the library and She would teach us about the DDS, but sometimes she would set us all down in a quiet alcove and tell us a story about the Coyote trickster's nefarious deeds where he typically ended up in hot water withe the Great Spirit or one of the other animal spirits. (Usually both at once 😆) I didn't really understand how precious those experiences were. She knew these stories and always told them from the heart. Not once did I ever see her open a book of any story except possibly a picture or beaded jewelry to explain what the different patterns in them meant to those people who created it. What a gift! Listening to this brought back those memories. I think most importantly, I have never needed to be reminded of the sacred. I think those experiences just made reverence for such things a part of my subconscious thought. One final thought... Parents, take your children outside and show them the beauty in nature. Let them fall in love with some aspect of it. That's all you have to do. They'll take care of the rest as they age. I promise. And if you're saying to yourself, "Oh, I live in the desert, and there's nothing beautiful or special about where I live." Yes, there is, I can say that with unequivocal certainty, there's something everywhere. Even Manhattan (which, by the way, is a Native American word) has Grande Central Park. No excuses, just do it. If you truly love them wouldn't you do anything you could to make their life a happy one? Give them this gift and maybe someday, if we're lucky, each successive generation will feel less and less of that Indo-European need to take, own and control all under our purview. You can't take it with you, and if you try, the only thing you'll do is permanently deny it to your progeny, get it? ✌️
I was first introduced to Russell Means in 1992's "The Last Of The Mohicans"... what a performance 🥲 and, in the years following, I learned just how much of a straightup wise warrior he was. I'll always respect and love him and all this continents' native peoples ❤️
I read his book, about 2 years ago, well written. Going to read it again. 👍👍 Truly agree about how we should respect our Mother Earth and that we are all related.
Why? On what issues? He held many controversial views that have caused much suffering in the native community. I stand with the USA! God Bless America, do you not agree Ms. Lady J?
@@jojomama4787 He organized and led the extreme militant American Indian Movement. His militant and extreme radical rhetoric forced the Federal Government (FBI...ATF) to take an adversarial defensive stance and did much harm to Native rights and any trust and understanding that many tribal leaders had worked so hard on building. Yes he had some support in the traditional wing of tribal politics however the damage done by Russell Means and Dennis Banks is still being repaired to this very day.
Much wrong has been done to natives in this country over the 400 years of cultural clash, however white guilt and victimization by the natives is NOT IMHO the key to finding solutions that continue to challenge the proud and rich cultural heritages of first peoples in this greatest land on earth.
John Andrews Im white, grew up in America. Not guilty or ashamed of my European roots at all. Ashamed that I have to be associated with what the US government has done in its entire history in the pursuit of money in the guise of religion or good will. There’s no defending any of that. The AIM was a freedom fighting organization. Fuck the feds
I agree totally. I am so sorry he passed away and that I did not had the chance to meet this wonderful and wise man. My heart is with the whole Indian society in North and South America, aswell in Mexico xoxo

May your spirit rest up there with the Great Spirit above Us Russell Means.
You were hear to spread the message of positivity. So will use it and some won’t hear what you say. I know your right and I finally it in my spirit too.

Mother earth talks to us...She is sad and mad at same time
But colonialism came.. Mother Earth isn't being heard.. she's sad that her children isn't listening to her.. pulling away from her..
@@lonewolfgamingplus379 this sounds like some shit the heart in dishonored would tell me.
It is okay. That is when the father steps in.
No, mother earth is mad at white people aka the deceivers.
@@LuckeyGamingTv sounds like you racist bro
I can watch this 20 times in a row ..Russell a man of knowledge he truly understood Rip 🙏✌🏼
Much respect to you Mr.Russel Means. You speak from the heart. God bless you
I wish I could have just sat down with this man for a few hours and discuss the problems this world is facing and ways we could help or solve them. Rest easy cousin
Thank you for standing up and speaking up.Mr.Means. you are a true American.
You are betwixt
In our Sikh Faith, our Satguru Ji teaches us in the first composition prayer called the Japji Sahib, written by our first Guru and founder Guru Nanak Dev Ji, in the Guru Granth Sahib Ji, our infinite and final Living Guru Now.
Satguru ji says that the air is our Guru, without it we can not live or speak or breath , it is our spiritual teacher and if the Great Spirit God. Through it we are able to recite and sing the praises of the Lord God. Then satguru ji says that water is our father, it is a key component of all life and purifies us. Then Sarguru ji explains, our mother is the Great EARTH. Our Satguru ji explains tbat the Air, Water and Earth are all living entities which are under the control and have been created by God, the Great Spirit, who Sikhs call Parmartma. Great Artma which is souls, the essence of all souls , origins of creation. So i feel so blessed when I hear the Native Indigenous tribes of the Americas talk of the living mother earth. Guru Nanak Dev ji came to to earth because of the cries if the mother earth and the suns humans were causing to her body. She is alive, conscious and feels pain and happiness, and lives in fear and live of God. So the Sikhs are really connected to Mother earth.
Russell Means, a very Spiritual, Knowledgeable, Kind and Generous spirit. Love you RM. May you now truly be surrounded by true love, peace and joy.
Thank you for your message. I am so sorry for what you and your people have to endure . I hope the next generations to come will listen and do better. What a mess and tragedy created in the history of this world.
We miss you Russell...we need more like you now, more than ever
H-E-L-L-O!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️🙏🏼✌🏼 with lots of love for that message from Toronto Canada 🇨🇦 ❤️ i’m sorry to hear that you have left mother earth, we need more thinkers like you now more than ever. RIP and God bless ❤️🙏🏼
As a child of the 60s I thought that if the gov did that to them they will do it to me.
That’s exactly right and look what’s happening in today’s world! Scary times…😒
and they are doing it right now.
As a child of the 60's I Knew the gov would do it to anyone when we watched our President get gunned down in Dallas.
Damn cold hard facts
A GOVERNMENT will do that to any one....
I take it is a great compliment to be addressed as a relative.I would’ve been honored to have met this man. Our disrespect for the earth and the bounty she has the offer will be our downfall.
I knew Russell, met him at Wounded Knee, through a friend named Pedro Bisonette. Pedro was murdered by Res goons trying to see his dying grandmother! I saw him again in 1998 at a Pow Wow in Colorado Springs. We had a short talk about the old days and Pedro. Bless his beautiful soul!
Al Davis are you serious? That's fucking sad.
Al Davis amen!
Wow what an amazing thing to hold in your memory heart. :) we are each so rare.
All true. Thanks for continuing his message here on and on. It still needs to be heard and taken to heart.
Rest in peace Russell my we all carry out your words and your work, native people and non native people as well.
Please HONOR Russell on June 26, the day that the Oglala Sioux has set for remembering OUR BROTHER.
I too shall honour the spiritual work he began when he baptised me with the fire of the spirit in a Sweat Lodge long ago, perhaps even amongst the Oglala Lakota one day, so that the prophecies may be fulfilled. Hoka hey!
I will.
I will remember and honor Russell's beautiful spirit and gentle plea to his relatives to be aware of our Great grandmother earth. I have learned to feel that kind of love in my heart, it is crushing at times. Rest In Peace...your message is still resonating.
Mitakuye Oyasin. Mni Winconi!!! Protect Mother Earth at all costs..
Absolute Legend. Pure truth in his words. ❤
Profoundly beautiful- Thank You, "Relative".
Deepest respect for you Russell Means !! Thank you for this beautiful video message !! If we all move from the brain to the HEART we will HEAL us all, Mother Earth and Unite as one

Beautiful message. "We are all related."
We need Russell now more than ever. RIP brother. On to the Great Mystery
What an amazing man! I love to hear him speak in his native language.
Love, honor and respect to this man who tried to do his best to raise awareness to many things that are so very important 💗 Our mother earth has a heart beat too. She sings a frequency of 528 Hz which the Scientist Nikola Tesla proved.
I have Great Respect for Russell Means, a very Wise man, with God given gifts of Speech & Intelligence!

He was such an amazing man. I am very great full for his words of wisdom.
The loss of this man to the spirit world is a loss of a part of all of us.
I miss his wise words I miss his truth, I can never forget the man that reached so deep into my own way and changed it for the better using only truth .
I love this man, and never met him, just what I can see on his videos. A man who loved his people.

Russell Means book, "Where white men fear to tread," is a must read.
just purchased! can't wait to read.
@@crowdpleaser54 how is it?
Gurtej Dhillon it hasn’t arrived yet. So much for my amazon prime membership lol
Agree, it's one of the best books I've ever read and a must-read for learning true American Indian history.
@j t don't deflect
I love this man! So sad he is no longer with us!
Russell Means encompass the true spirit of what it means to be a Native American Indian. He speaks truth...
white man came to our land to kill, steal, and destroy, mother earth, look at it NOW, FILTH HAS COME TO OUR LAND, BUT WE STILL SURVIVE FROM TOHONO O'OTHOM NATION SOUTHERN ARIZONA, GREAT SPIRIT TOUCH THE TRUE NATIVES OF TURTLE ISLAND.
@@mizutsunethewaterdancer2155 Hey look water prance, the white man came her for the exact same reason as your people. To better themselves, to give a better way of life for their children. To provide prosperity, to increase the quality of life and live free in this great land. Are we not in agreement on this?
I love to hear Natives talk in their language.
You speak the truth. Hope your message spreads to the whole earth. And thank you
Respect brother. Earth is a living organism. We should have respect. I am Native American so its says on my DNA but I do not know were I belong. I am an orphan. So hard to say. I always felt connected to earth to every living organism and my path just started when I found out who I am, I will be into self discovery. I love all my Native brothers. Coubt me on to fight for this place our Creator gave us. A'ho
Sir, that was the most brutally honest, heartfelt, sincere, loving bit of information I've ever heard. Please know that you have at the very least shaken one person to the soul. I wrote mother Earth an apology letter some time back (biodegradable) and buried it in my backyard. I've had some kind of s0iritual awakening over the past year.....my life is in chaos and I'm struggling to make sense of it all. Sir, I needed guidance so bad AND HERE YOU ARE!! THANK YOU. MUCH LOVE
I watch your videos and documentary. You speak the truth. Our society is in big trouble. You are very respected and loved.
Thank you Russell means. You are the wisest man I have ever seen.
Dewayne.... Cherokee
Him and Chief Oren Lyons!😊🙏
Thank you Russell for sharing your heart.
Thank you, Brother Russell, for your wisdom and display of deep reverence to our Earth Mother.......your voice will continue to resonate amongst us for many more decades..
When this man speaks I listen ... his words break through all the noise with the quiet purpose of simple gratitude and respect for all life.
I am german/American but man I was raised in Texas and our native American I feel so much for such a wise man indeed
were you born in Germany?
This man is brilliant 😊👍🤗😍 thank you for your intelligence !
Explaining these different things 💙 never lose compassion in your life !
Never knew this man, and every time we pass those words from the heart, and you feel that flutter deep inside, that's him 😢😥💔
Thank you so much for this message. We get caught up with this fast pace life that has us programed to not see, and realize that we need to feel and connect with mother earth to heal a reconnect with her and appreciate her. This is the message that I need ed to hear today. It was an honor to receive this message. This is more real now than people know.
I volunteered with AIM years ago, right before they were shut down. Russell Means has always spoke the truth.
i love you Russell...Your caring advocacy and all your efforts are like lightning in my spirit
A very intelligent and thoughtful man we should all listen
I am thankful that I have found the thoughts of this man and purely by chance. Thank you for posting this!
I was born and raised in the Pacific Northwest and then blessed to go to a small ag/ mech college in the Southwest. I have been in person to Galup, NM, and that area, all of it is packed full of Native American culture. I was thinking about what I had seen there, the amazing Navajo friends and their sacred places. It dawned on me that all my life, here in Oregon, there is a lot of Native influence and many small tribes but we learn literally nothing about them. Other than most tribes now run casinos. The only time I can recall learning anything about the tribes I didn't read on my own volition or research out of curiosity came from the head librarian of my elementary school. My favorite day of the week was when my class got to go to the library and She would teach us about the DDS, but sometimes she would set us all down in a quiet alcove and tell us a story about the Coyote trickster's nefarious deeds where he typically ended up in hot water withe the Great Spirit or one of the other animal spirits. (Usually both at once 😆)
I didn't really understand how precious those experiences were. She knew these stories and always told them from the heart. Not once did I ever see her open a book of any story except possibly a picture or beaded jewelry to explain what the different patterns in them meant to those people who created it.
What a gift! Listening to this brought back those memories. I think most importantly, I have never needed to be reminded of the sacred. I think those experiences just made reverence for such things a part of my subconscious thought.
One final thought... Parents, take your children outside and show them the beauty in nature. Let them fall in love with some aspect of it. That's all you have to do. They'll take care of the rest as they age. I promise. And if you're saying to yourself, "Oh, I live in the desert, and there's nothing beautiful or special about where I live." Yes, there is, I can say that with unequivocal certainty, there's something everywhere. Even Manhattan (which, by the way, is a Native American word) has Grande Central Park. No excuses, just do it. If you truly love them wouldn't you do anything you could to make their life a happy one? Give them this gift and maybe someday, if we're lucky, each successive generation will feel less and less of that Indo-European need to take, own and control all under our purview. You can't take it with you, and if you try, the only thing you'll do is permanently deny it to your progeny, get it? ✌️
I was lucky to see him speak in front of senators and such and he spoke the truth as you could feel what he says💯
What a fantastic orator! I could listen to him all day.
I was first introduced to Russell Means in 1992's "The Last Of The Mohicans"... what a performance 🥲 and, in the years following, I learned just how much of a straightup wise warrior he was. I'll always respect and love him and all this continents' native peoples ❤️
I read his book, about 2 years ago, well written. Going to read it again. 👍👍 Truly agree about how we should respect our Mother Earth and that we are all related.
I stand with Russell Means and Mother Earth ♥️✌⚘💜
Why? On what issues? He held many controversial views that have caused much suffering in the native community. I stand with the USA! God Bless America, do you not agree Ms. Lady J?
@@johnandrews3547 what,exactly,did he do to injure Native peoples?
@@jojomama4787 He organized and led the extreme militant American Indian Movement. His militant and extreme radical rhetoric forced the Federal Government (FBI...ATF) to take an adversarial defensive stance and did much harm to Native rights and any trust and understanding that many tribal leaders had worked so hard on building. Yes he had some support in the traditional wing of tribal politics however the damage done by Russell Means and Dennis Banks is still being repaired to this very day.
Much wrong has been done to natives in this country over the 400 years of cultural clash, however white guilt and victimization by the natives is NOT IMHO the key to finding solutions that continue to challenge the proud and rich cultural heritages of first peoples in this greatest land on earth.
John Andrews Im white, grew up in America. Not guilty or ashamed of my European roots at all. Ashamed that I have to be associated with what the US government has done in its entire history in the pursuit of money in the guise of religion or good will. There’s no defending any of that. The AIM was a freedom fighting organization. Fuck the feds
I agree totally. I am so sorry he
passed away and that I did not had the chance to meet this wonderful and wise man.
My heart is with the whole Indian society in North and South America, aswell in Mexico xoxo
The greeting was beautiful. Peace to you put who put this video together.
I like the language and the man...Thank you so much
Only if we all breathed the words he has in his heart - what an awesome man, wished I could've met him❣❣💘🐎🦅
Thankyou brother for reminding poeple where we are mother nature is a life force to be respected
My heroes are now those who speak compassionate and mindful truth, as this man did.
I ask The Divine that we all listen and follow.
Thx.for all your heart felt wisdom and sharing it with us.
