Indian speakers are the best speakers ive ever heard and probably ever will hear , because of being centered with thier God , humanity , compassion , kindness , generosity and courage and understanding that we are only here for a small time , And that we are here to pass on a better world to our young people , and leave this place better than when we first got here .
Hau mitakuyape: hello my relative. Mitakuye oyasin: we are related! Mi a ma Lakota . I am Lakota . My mother from the War Eagle clan and my father from the Crazy Horse clan. I am, " Angel With Tatoos"! Russel Means is my brother! Your spirit lives my brother even now, decades after your passing! R.I.P. with Tonkashila ( grandfather) looking over you amidst all the great chiefs alongside you ! Till we meet again!
One of the most tragic quotes Mr. Means uttered was during his presentation to the Senate on January 31, 1989: "In this United States, the American Indian can be anything he wants to be, except an American Indian." Sir, your people will continue to live through your legacy....thank you for bringing truth to the masses. Unfortunately, in today's United States, the truth no longer matters and the forked tongue is even more prevalent now than ever before.
If I could get help on the functional aspects of a campaign, I have a folder of plans and a dream to reclaim this land for a term. Give the reigns to a co-Ed pair of social leaders, stand-down the foreign military operations while keeping those troops employed on the half of the folder dedicated to ending child abuse and dark alley worries, a quarter of the folder dedicated to reigniting the public school system into learn at your own pace/trade school approach and without taking homes or lands from anyone - give back this land if but only in title on paper and spirit in purpose back to the collective First Nations/first temple ways. So that we virgins of spirit might respectfully have one more chance at redeeming the dark shortcuts taken by my forefathers and repair the soul of our great nation of nations. I’m an adhd butterfly chaser and a visionary that wears an immovable shield of faith. Faith in what cannot be bought, sold or pretended. A faith that cannot be articulated in common tongue. A “word-god”-less faith that knows much and assumes nothing. If someone could just fill out the paperwork and be the strengths I lack, I am that one of ancient strengths that can approach the stars and sing us back into harmony with the mother. If someone could tie my shoes for me, and allow me just to channel the Great Spirit.. I would be that worthy carry of the still bright torch that Russell burned into my heart. I have the proof on paper that will return the hearts of men back to ways of our true ancestors and this thing I say on the authority of the never ending enemy of the nothingness that today eats away at our hope.. I would reconquer every inch of what was lost to greed and malice, every speck of sand fenced off from those who knew each grains sacred name. I would call this land by a new name, having enough respect for those who bravely put valor before glory for her, I would call it “Alłuvit” because I would win back all of it, every last stone unturned so none of the Warhawks that severed us from our ancestors can ever be believed again and only the ocean will be their escape path as we sweep this place free of the foolish fodder that hatred and error have so easily found hiding place in and knowingly plagued Americas powerful, forgiving, trusting and benevolent majority with. I don’t want to be king but I want to be the visionary that makes the world not feel like they need one. It’s time. I’m over the bull and the horns that seem to think we are ok with having In our backs. Anyone wanna build a better mousetrap? I’ve got Fire yet unseen, will travel.
@@tylermoulton7294 tables can turn. Sometimes nature itself can a humble a people just to prepare them for a greater position of responsibility. I think the old guard slavery bankers that run politics in America is over. The kids aren’t gonna buy into the nonsense soon. The kids are going to want what people wanted from leaders in the past. After the smoke clears on the coming payback america has coming for the Nuking of Japan, then humility and need will birth the chance you speak of. Our need for Heroes emerge when the fires get too hot. We are still in suckling mode in the US but soon enough that tit will be revealed as a devils ding dong and we will all be praying to get the taste of who we were out of our mouths! Until then I’ll keep making plans!
But we must also remember this deeply inside - drink it in, breath it in, let it become part of our being - so that when the recorded words are removed or otherwise disappear, we can speak these truths from within our own essence. This is why, as I think all truly native people know, that ORAL HISTORY is superior and more reliable than any man-made method of documentation. If you know what is REAL TRUTH you don't need a book or a picture to convey the message - it is within your vey being. And by extension, it is within the essence of all that is, and ever will be.
A.I.M. was infiltrated from the get-go. I remember this madness. They had a great idea and got sold out by their own people, as always, as do we all. Humanity has some amazing individuals and some really f-ed up ones. We're all kinda in the same bucket and have to choose our own path, I suppose, but I can't deal with any sellouts. That's a no-go. This is a powerful vid, man. Old school.
Thanks for watching Doc. I came across it on archive dot org and felt the message needed to be shared. The Gov sure does have their greasy fingers on the pulse of any legit dissident movement.
Please after watching this powerful message from this truth telling fellow man go and watch him as a matured elder in the video titled: Russell Means: Welcome to the American Reservation Prison Camp (Full Length). This message is not just for the Native Americans but for ALL of us! Listen to the overall message to you! Rest in peace and thank you for speaking to a young white appearing woman when I visited Pine Ridge and Porcupine Reservations. It was my highest honor to speak with Russel Means. He was so kind, real, and you could feel his love inside pouring out to any and all that would approach him earnestly interested in listening to him. What a blessing! We are all living on this reservation called the USA. Wake up!
The only reason the United States celebrates Columbus, was to give the Italians and Southern European immigrants(1880-1920's) a stake in American History. Even at that point in history they knew the Vikings were first modern Europeans to set foot on North America some 600 years before Columbus, and they knew where they were going. Before the wave of Southern and eastern Europeans immigrants came, the main European ethnic groups in the U.S. were northern European and our culture of Anglo-Saxon, Norse, and Germanic. Heck the first Europeans to set foot on America was 2,000 or more years before the Indians, they were the the Solutreans from present day northern France. They were killed off and mixed away by the waves of Indian/Mongolians from North East Asia coming over the land bridge later. It is why Indian tribes further east(closer to the east coast) have more European DNA than those further west. Indians or tribal peoples of North America, most of them, are a mix of North East Asian And Northern Europeans. With the DNA being more East Asian west and more European East. I imagine what happened to the original Europeans who first set foot in America 13,000-18,000 years ago, is just like today. Mixing. The Lumbee Indians of North Carolina had blue eyes since before the James Town settlement. A left over sign of East Asian and Solutrean/European genetic mixing. But yes the Indians/tribal Americans have a very old tribal culture dating back some 10,000 years since the end of the last mixing of East Asians and Solutreans some 8,000-10,000 years ago. They still have the original spiritual understanding of tribal man, Animism. Which is the natural religion for all tribal peoples of the world. Including Europeans before they were Christianized/spiritually enslaved. Europe was purged of it's Nature religions/Paganism by the Christian fanatics some 1,000 years ago. We lost our connection to Animism(everything has a spirit) 100's of years ago. Many of us are just now understanding what we lost and how we were used like tools for the monotheistic machine to subjugate others into the same belief system of control. European Pagans use to communicate with trees and hold them with the highest respect. We did not have Priests back then, we had Wizards(wise ones/men), Druids(Oakwise) and Witches(wise women). We had Father Time and Mother Earth in our old teachings. We celebrated the Solstices and Yule Tide. Sprites, elves, fairies were all spirits of the land and our ancestors for us. If the roots are deep, the tree will heal and grow back.
@@Eric.1I37🤦 Omg! What are you talking about ? Europe still doesn't know what date or time where in.. The Gregorian Calendar is not even precise. So everything you wrote has no value. It doesn't make any sense why people would believe anything the fuck Europe has to say when all this time they are still lost. Our Calendar holds the truth . We were never lost and we are still here... Don't forget Europe came to us not the other way around... 🤦🤣
@@Evelara91 Are you being obtuse or are you purposely avoiding subject I posted about. I am sorry for you, you make enemies out of allies when you don't need too. If the tribal peoples of North America have friends like you, they don't need enemies.
@@Stan_CT I think I've watched every video... I have my favorites and I watch them weekly on my spiritual walks... Both, Elder Means and. Elder John Trudell, "walked the walk"...

@@VenturiLifeYey American could mean from anywhere in North America, Central, or South America. I mean you no disrespect of course. Only that it is often hard for US citizens to define ourselves.
This is why I'm looking forward to homeschooling my daughter when she's of age. I'll be sure to include Mr. Means' information in with her schooling. I was taught the whole land bridge story and origins of humanity in Africa as well. Now I get to correct that.
I met him at the AIM office in San Francisco on Valencia street Bill Wapinpa ask us to shake his hand. HE hated it. He was very handsome and a good speaker and his wife was very beautiful both well dressed. Bill had us go to Alcatraz Island on Thanksgiving day. It was wonderful. He didn't tell anyone but at the last moment he brought all these pipes from their keepers. A Japanese guy, a Buddhist levitated really! I miss Bill he was awesome. Means is okay. I can't judge him
I read many comments of you guys. You gush with oh what a great guy - great message. Who among you has spent just one hour on behalf of any Native American Tribe to be of help. ?? Ya you really care.
I miss attending his events, he was very fun to be around and he had good jokes, stories and experiences to tell because he traveled around the world 4 sacred times!!lol RIP Uncle Russell, you have educated us all!! li li li li
Natural Law, Matriarchy, the current system of Patriarchy and exploitation needs to be flipped on its head to set the world aright. Russell showed the truth, and still its going on. It's heartbreaking, this pathetic government doesn't care at all about life, compassion and truth.
My Father was so so right about the blankets and he was WWII VET. He taught what white men did to them as well as Michael Landon Robert Redford and Mt family members. Give them back their land cuz whote man doesn't know how to go green they should go speak to the AMERICAN INDIANS ELDERS how to clean up white man's mess.
Yes the Trail of Tears....still breaks my heart. Many of my Native brothers and sisters treated worse than dogs...from this US GOVERNMENT. I WILL NEVER TRUST THIS GOVERNMENT....NOT EVER!!
I met Russell in the late 90's. He mentions the trail of tears and the Cherokee but remember that the Choctaw, Chickasaw, Creek, and many Seminole were also relocated in the same forced removal. And I saw a study just the other day. Currently 60% of Indians marry non-Indians and they estimate that by 2080 less that 8,000 people will remain that can document at least 1/4 Indian blood.
Thank you for your time and it's true 👍 🙏 ❤ because my mother told me about the 3 fact is true. My mother mum and dad told her about this speech over 80 .90 it's true. One love.
A great philosopher and spiritual leader. His book was amazing to read and learn how we mistreated native Americans.since early 1700s.been to wounded knee and crazy horse spiritual mt twice.
That's true they only go back to 1934. He is speaking about my father's people who are cooper tone Indian.. My dad is Yolande Pompey Professional boxer from Trinidad Tobago a indian. Cooper tone. Good lord help us my mother side . Im cooper tone Comanche. Cynthie the Buddha
In college at U.C. Berkeley in 1969 I had a weekly radio program on which I spoke about the Human Beings while there were college classes about them too. After graduating I tried getting hired by govt to work with the 250,000 area natives. But there was only 1 person working for the government for the Bureau of Indian Affairs so no jobs.
Hi 👋👋👋👋👋👋👋😊😊😊😊 from the spirits of Russell means cloyd daughter Victoria Doris Vaughn cloyd means Love u 😎 means daughter Tiffany and two brothers cloyd means and pearl means as our mother's Elizabeth Kathy Dad stiebers.❤️❤️❤️😘😘😘😘😘😘😘
I am angry with myself b/c I allowed all the statements, "valor is the better part of discretion", "Suck it up cupcake and get back to work". I was not in the military yet, told that as young person. My mother grew up in Seminole, put herself through college and ultimately, joined the AF. I find my experience rare, I attended 13 schools prior to University and saw treatment and how it varies based on race. My mother as am I, tortured by the reality of what happened and what is happening. There is no resolve b/c it's come so far and accepted. Of course, I am an optimist and look for balance. Once there was a Great Depression, Once there was Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, Once there were Leaders.
My Respect and love to you my brother. Thank you. For it. And let's just Remember we are going to be on AUR land for Eternity and we All ways come back again After this life. And the Europeans are going to pass an history on AUR land. And we are going to take back what they take from as. They are a descanting people. Is way they have to pay back what they been done to AUR Ancestors. I'm back to destroy them what they did to me. On the pass. I found the meeting of life. Life is an Eternity so is a natives we are are on the land for Eternity.
Actually, Russell..... No, th Black's heritage had, at length , already been substantially stripped or fragmented, over 100s of yrs, by slave trading practices and intertribal wars within Africa itself, sad to say. ..... What th trans Atlantic slave trade did, certainly made things worse, but it wz th tip of a very big iceberg
No such thing as “America” and definitely no such thing as an “American Indian”. We are Nihiyaw. The Europeans were lost and thought they washed up in India. That’s why they refer to us as “Indian” when India is thousands of miles away.we are Nihiyaw. People of the four directions. The people Europeans wrote their bible about. Calling us angels because we saved them and took care of them. They said we have wings on our backs after they watched us have a pow wow. Tapwiy! Nihiyaw katawasisiw wiya! Miskinak ministik ikwa Nihiyaw kakikiy. Ninaskomitin ochitamitowin. Kisakitin kakiyaw nikosisak, Kisakitin iskwewak. Yotin pimohkitiw napew nitsikason. Ninaskomitin kakiyaw nihiyaw
The greatest nation in the universe is the black hole steven hawking imagined. Im crying in an empty tub listening to this and my blood runs cold. i open my eyes. i see nothing. where am i. the human mind. truth. this moment. human. mind. nothing. close my eyes. whos hands on this mans neck. what is man. nothing.
I cant believe what we do to great people. Its far worse than we do to people that chose to harm other people. If we dont wake up we will not realize we have done it to ourselves. We cannot chose to not be included. We cannot pretend we dont see it. We cannot pretend we did not do it.

@@VenturiLifeYey American could mean from anywhere in North America, Central, or South America. I mean you no disrespect of course. Only that it is often hard for US citizens to define ourselves.
This is why I'm looking forward to homeschooling my daughter when she's of age. I'll be sure to include Mr. Means' information in with her schooling. I was taught the whole land bridge story and origins of humanity in Africa as well. Now I get to correct that.
I met him at the AIM office in San Francisco on Valencia street Bill Wapinpa ask us to shake his hand. HE hated it. He was very handsome and a good speaker and his wife was very beautiful both well dressed. Bill had us go to Alcatraz Island on Thanksgiving day. It was wonderful. He didn't tell anyone but at the last moment he brought all these pipes from their keepers. A Japanese guy, a Buddhist levitated really! I miss Bill he was awesome. Means is okay. I can't judge him
A Young Russel Means .. I was 19 in 1980 .. No Internet or youtube back then ..

Natural Law, Matriarchy, the current system of Patriarchy and exploitation needs to be flipped on its head to set the world aright. Russell showed the truth, and still its going on. It's heartbreaking, this pathetic government doesn't care at all about life, compassion and truth.
It starts with the people as well.
What a Great person is he ....
Thank you for all your work wisdom
Real talk
My Father was so so right about the blankets and he was WWII VET. He taught what white men did to them as well as Michael Landon Robert Redford and Mt family members. Give them back their land cuz whote man doesn't know how to go green they should go speak to the AMERICAN INDIANS ELDERS how to clean up white man's mess.

Yes the Trail of Tears....still breaks my heart. Many of my Native brothers and sisters treated worse than dogs...from this US GOVERNMENT. I WILL NEVER TRUST THIS GOVERNMENT....NOT EVER!!
A True Warrior, Our Respected Elder, Our example for today, Hiy!! Hiy!! ⚒🙏⚡⚓🌄
I met Russell in the late 90's. He mentions the trail of tears and the Cherokee but remember that the Choctaw, Chickasaw, Creek, and many Seminole were also relocated in the same forced removal. And I saw a study just the other day. Currently 60% of Indians marry non-Indians and they estimate that by 2080 less that 8,000 people will remain that can document at least 1/4 Indian blood.
That won't happen , don't underestimate the natives of this fine country.
Same in Houston Texas
Thank you for your time and it's true 👍 🙏 ❤ because my mother told me about the 3 fact is true. My mother mum and dad told her about this speech over 80 .90 it's true. One love.
Over 80.90 years it true. One love ❤...
@@salimbegum3179 Thank you. Much love. Please share this message with whoever you think may benefit from it.
A great philosopher and spiritual leader. His book was amazing to read and learn how we mistreated native Americans.since early 1700s.been to wounded knee and crazy horse spiritual mt twice.
Straight facts
He was very good,makes your blood boil what has and still going on today.
Russell wasn't wrong. He was also a great orator, injecting humor within his truth.

It's so apparent, the cycle of evil/greed is successful.

Respect.
Thank you sir.
He always speaks the truth. Do what he says and you shall have your own freedom to be you. Get what you deserve.
well said = truth
In college at U.C. Berkeley in 1969 I had a weekly radio program on which I spoke about the Human Beings while there were college classes about them too. After graduating I tried getting hired by govt to work with the 250,000 area natives. But there was only 1 person working for the government for the Bureau of Indian Affairs so no jobs.

Honor for this man sad he is in the spirit world
Russell Means made me find who i am as a people here in that Southwest as Dineh tah ... American census( Navajo so forth ) Nizhoni Bizaad
I am angry with myself b/c I allowed all the statements, "valor is the better part of discretion", "Suck it up cupcake and get back to work". I was not in the military yet, told that as young person. My mother grew up in Seminole, put herself through college and ultimately, joined the AF. I find my experience rare, I attended 13 schools prior to University and saw treatment and how it varies based on race. My mother as am I, tortured by the reality of what happened and what is happening. There is no resolve b/c it's come so far and accepted. Of course, I am an optimist and look for balance. Once there was a Great Depression, Once there was Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, Once there were Leaders.
I was born in 81. I don't believe for a second that my so called family is my real family. Im nothing like any of them.
My Respect and love to you my brother. Thank you. For it. And let's just Remember we are going to be on AUR land for Eternity and we All ways come back again After this life. And the Europeans are going to pass an history on AUR land. And we are going to take back what they take from as. They are a descanting people. Is way they have to pay back what they been done to AUR Ancestors. I'm back to destroy them what they did to me. On the pass. I found the meeting of life. Life is an Eternity so is a natives we are are on the land for Eternity.
They’re still lying! Pathetic!
Because they are psychopaths narcissists and sociopaths.
The Indios tried to teach the balance of nature to the new people , the new people wouldn't listen .!
Im so sorry to hear about his death. By the way to hell with Andrew Jackson. His face on the twenty dollar bil,ugh

How do I troubleshoot my ONN tv
The truth cannot be relied upon. The truth has to be transfigured with others understanding but youtube doesn't want that so they deleted my comment
Actually, Russell..... No, th Black's heritage had, at length , already been substantially stripped or fragmented, over 100s of yrs, by slave trading practices and intertribal wars within Africa itself, sad to say.
..... What th trans Atlantic slave trade did, certainly made things worse, but it wz th tip of a very big iceberg
Yeah but that's because of the Arabs, and I think the Greeks or Romans up in Egypt
No such thing as “America” and definitely no such thing as an “American Indian”. We are Nihiyaw. The Europeans were lost and thought they washed up in India. That’s why they refer to us as “Indian” when India is thousands of miles away.we are Nihiyaw. People of the four directions. The people Europeans wrote their bible about. Calling us angels because we saved them and took care of them. They said we have wings on our backs after they watched us have a pow wow. Tapwiy! Nihiyaw katawasisiw wiya! Miskinak ministik ikwa Nihiyaw kakikiy. Ninaskomitin ochitamitowin. Kisakitin kakiyaw nikosisak, Kisakitin iskwewak. Yotin pimohkitiw napew nitsikason. Ninaskomitin kakiyaw nihiyaw

The greatest nation in the universe is the black hole steven hawking imagined. Im crying in an empty tub listening to this and my blood runs cold. i open my eyes. i see nothing. where am i. the human mind. truth. this moment. human. mind. nothing. close my eyes. whos hands on this mans neck. what is man. nothing.
I cant believe what we do to great people. Its far worse than we do to people that chose to harm other people. If we dont wake up we will not realize we have done it to ourselves. We cannot chose to not be included. We cannot pretend we dont see it. We cannot pretend we did not do it.
