Wounded Knee '73 | American Indian Movement

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 4 ก.ค. 2022
- In the middle of the civil rights movement emerged the American Indian Movement. The AIM addresed systemic issues of poverty, discrimination and police brutality against Native Americans. In 1973 around 200 Native Americans from all the country geathered at Wounded Knee, a small town on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in Oglala Lakota County, South Dakota. They took over the town and a siege that lasted for 71 started,
They decided to geather at Wounded Knee because the place has a historical significance. In 1890 the United States army massacred around 200 to 300 Lakota people.
Russel means was a spokeman for the AIM during the siege.

I was born in Hot Springs, South Dakota and spent my teenage years there and in Custer. My sister married Butch Bad Heart Bull who was the older brother of Wesley Bad Heart Bull. I was present at the Custer Courthouse Incident and attended the funeral of Wesley with my sister and mother. I was 16 years old and took my turn with a shovel to place dirt on Wesley’s coffin. Almost exactly a year later Butch was murdered and once again I attended the funeral with my sister, now a widow with a 3 year old son, and my mother. I was 17 then . Those early years of my life come full circle every time I see something on the internet about the occupation of Wounded Knee.

History repeats its self! Never give up right to bear Arms!
Hoka hey!
@canskasapaemanon708 oh why not haha
The Indians did NOT “lay down their arms” at Wounded Knee! That’s why it was a Battle and not a massacre! Innocent Indian people we’re killed that’s true, but at the actions of their own! The Bucks were armed and Fired first on the U. S. Cavalry Soldiers. Soldiers who were there under orders to simply escort the “Renegades” (Definition: “Indians who leave the Reservation ARMED and without permission.”) back to the Reservation !!! So, the White Farmers/Settlers who were TERRORIZED and killed by these Renegades, you have no sympathy for them? Look up “Indian Depredations.” These took place in every State/Territory from 1640’s to 1890’s killing an estimated 10,000 Pioneers, Settlers, Farmers and many others! The Indians were not the poor defenseless easy target they are often made out to be! They were great warriors capable of fighting and protecting their way of life.!!!
@@mbrawthen you're funny. I bet you're a wasicu, aren't you? I love it when wasicu's tell natives how it went. My blood family was at the first Wounded Knee and the 2nd one in the 1970s. My grandpa was a leader at the one in 70s. But you know what actually happened?! Lololol the scary part is you truly believe you know what you know. #HokaHey
@@mbrawthenThere are some good books by historians about the 1890 massacre at Wounded Knee, I recommend you do some reading, such as American Carnage, by Jerome Greene.
You forgot Leonard peltier how he was famed and is still in prison,,,free Leonard
He helped murder two FBI Agents. So he should rot in Prison.
💯. He is in poor health and needs to be released immediately
@@berserk9085 They were standing their ground protecting their home and families. No definitive proof Leonard was responsible. You can rot in Hell buddy
YES!
Please spell check
"The bullets don't match the gun." FREE Leonard Peltier
I had a man that was in the same prison with Leonard that worked on my crew of painters Henry Thomas was his name , Henry I've know since teenage years anyway he told me Leonard was innocent, even the judge that sentence Leonard later said he knew Leonard was innocent, if you want truth look up because you won't find it anywhere eles
@@terryadkins9831 ... yes. Leonard is a political prisoner.
@@danyellerobinson5940 yes exactly right, when the doctors say Leonard will die in a week or two they'll let him out that's the way the prison system does people, life truly begins across the veil
@@danyellerobinson5940 No he helped murder two FBI Agents. He should be in Jail forever. You should rather complain that no AIM Thug went to Jail for murdering a Black Civil Rights Activist at the Wounded Knee Occupation.
@@berserk9085 I can think for myself thank you. There is no confirmation that Leonard was responsible for any deaths associated with the 1973 Wounded Knee. Instead. He was convicted of murdering the FBI agents because, "someone had to pay." Ballistic evidence has since shown that Peltier was not the shooter. My heart goes out to Ray Robinson's family. Still, the wrong man in jail is not justice for anyone.
I remember this, I was 15 years old living on my reservation in California. 2 of my uncles went to prison for gun running and Russell Mean hid at his at his cousin's house, which was next to my parents' house. I remember my grandma saying the only thing that saved the Native American's was the media, they actually told the truth about what was actually going on, a young Native boy, his name was Charlie was killed by the FBI and nothing was done to the agents, a white man was also killed by the agents, but nothing happened to agents then either. Wilson was a horrible, horrible man, I was young, but there are some things you never forget. Leonard Peltier was arrested and sent to prison, even though he didn't have a gun, the agents said he killed 2 agents, and it has been proven over and over that the agents were killed by FBI guns, not Leonard, like I said, he didn't even have a gun. Leonard is still in prison as far as I know, unless he died in prison and the prison buried him without telling his family, and yes, I believe the prison officials would do that to his family.
Pelamia, I was glad to read Your comment. I find it believable and typical of the era {better} than during the settlement of whites in this greedy piss-ass country "I guess". That Indian "sheriff" was a Son of a Bastage. He ran His (police) force to rule everybody that He could try to get away with it. I'm very surprised there was no mention of Ken Keasey's book {Burey My heart at wonder knee} where that calvary attack on so many hundreds of unarmed Indians that was shown being buried in that mass grave, and that picture of the frozen corpse of Chief Big Foot laying there in the snow with His arm pointing up makes Me sick to be white. Yup! G-G.
Yes Fact's!

I was 10 when that went down seen it on the news a lot never forgot it I didn't know about the first hand information that you just talked about come into present times I think the establishment is going to come after everybody that don't fall in line with it I do not respond or read hateful or malice-filled responses save your battery
Peltier is 77. I wrote him the other day. His health is not well.
My wife's mother was a young reporter for National Catholic Reporter at the time and snuck through the FBI barricade and made it inside to interview Russel Means.
On the set of the last of the Mohicans, I heard that Russell Means (a Libertarian) was rallying and organizing the set crew against the producers for better pay and working conditions, LOL. Always a warrior! Rest in Peace Russell.
I read a great book about/ by Russel Means. Unfortunately, I was so excited by it, I learnt it out to a friend who did not return it. It was a hugely impactful read to me, hopefully it is still out there getting passed along for other people to read.
The crew would have been paid the standard IATSE rates which are pretty good mostly. The PA s and such were paid terribly across the industry…
At the beginning of the movie. Did you see the hunter dress in red clothing letting the large deer go in the woods. Before Hawkeye killed the very poor innocent animal. So very obvious notice. I probably laugh about that later.🤣😂😆🤡🤠👻😅Hahahahaha

We were hippies tripping on LSD at the Cedar River Conservation Park back in the fall of 1971 when all of a sudden 50 jalopies rolled into the park and set up camp. It was AIM come for a powwow and a speaking engagement at nearby Wartburg College. Russell Means spoke. I greeted Russell upon their arrival with a joint and he shouted to Clyde Bellecourt to come help us smoke it. I had a friend, Harold Lloyd, that claimed he served time with Clyde up in St. Croix. Never thought I'd be seeing them 2 years later on the news in armed rebellion.
Its not really rebellion if you think about it

This was a great video especially since I've never heard anything about this incident in my life and I can't believe it happened back in 73 with all the anti-war movements and civil Rights movement .
I bet you didnt herad either that a Black Civil Rights Activist was murdered by the AIM during the Wounded Knee Occupation.
Some white people called the Branch Dividians got it much worse
Anniversary 50th, FEBRUARY 27, 2023. AIM
I think your timeline is a bit off. What is known as "The Civil Rights Movement" ended in 1968. The Paris Peace Accords were signed between the U.S and North Vietnam in January of 1973, just prior to Wounded Knee. US combat troops were removed from Vietnam by March of 1973. The Anti-War movement, in regards to Vietnam, was effectively over when Wounded Knee took place.
The AIM was born both out of the movements of the 60’s but also on the back bone of the indigenous soldiers whom returned from wwii and famously would stand up to their reservation agents and government representatives as they were not intimidated easily. Bringing the rations promised by the agents but as well as fighting for more recognition and protections under the law. Many of these soldiers spent the years from 1945 to the 1960’s to lay the foundation of indigenous civil rights for their respective nations so that movements like aim could do things like the occupation of Alcatraz or the occupation of wounded knee.
This comes after the nearly 100 years for some tribes, where they spent in squalor after the provisions of the treaties were first implemented and the people were demilitarized within indigenous nations.
The fight continues to this day in places like standing rock, land back lane and the many many many movements in Canada’s province of British Columbia.
Very well said. Thank you. My father’s experience in WWII contributed to his support of human rights. I don’t think enough has been said about the impact of WWII and the Vietnam War of the civil rights movements.
Thank you, Anarcho, for the postscript. Peace to you.
The fight will continue until the Wasichu finally surrender.

@@carlitosortiz2870 of course, but it’s better they are taught in an educational group and as standard history- only then can wounds really begin to heal. When it’s dismissed by the curriculum, it doesn’t get the airing and discussion it needs. That way history stops repeating itself.

These very deadly weapons would be used of very intense bloody conflict battlefield of 1931. The very brave sioux Indian warriors bow an arrows with very strong war Lances, the old western style rifles an pistols to the 1903 Springfield long range rifles. From the old veterans of brave men of the First world war! The great inspiration of the ever rising talented fighting skills of the young brave men would fight in world War two! Showing thier very bravery fight skills fierce fighting battlefield scene in the Buffalo County war or the Great war for the northern part of the reservation! From the spring time the 17th through the 18th of April of 1931. The only sioux Indian reservation actually fought a war to save their northern Buffalo hunting grounds homelands. Also there's a very sad forgotten tragedy and the last brave Dakota and Lakota sioux warriors victory song! Many decades after the wounded knee dec 29 1890. On the crow creek sioux Indian reservation SD northwest of the town stephan. During the great depression area of 17th through the 18th of April of 1931. A large encampment of a little over sixty hunkpati Dakota sioux people were still definitely living on Cheney rush, a long narrow valley just below hilly prairie land country along the beautiful Missouri River. During the time of the sooner policy act the reservation land take over of the better half of the 20th century! When a large party of over a hundred American civilians were coming with guns and rifles very unannounced! The American civilians had arrived there! The American civilians would kill the entire Dakota sioux Indian encampment were all killed there! The American civilians buried the dead Dakota sioux bodies north on top of two small rolling small hills. The one hill on the left side. The Dakota sioux elders were young children at the time saw an witness the tragedy unfolded there will hiding a safe distance away. Many years later they told the story well crying and wipt of the brutal hateful torture to death at the Cheney rush massacre!, the second sand creek massacre! It's also the most huanted place on the reservation because of the forgotten tragedy that happened there! Some of the Dakota sioux Indians were descents of bullghost the hunkpati Dakota sioux Indian war leader he inspired many Lakota sioux people to the ghost dance celebration of 1890 in standing rock SD. Bullghost has many relatives from standing rock to crow creek. Bullghost is buried at the big bend committee north of the reservation along the beautiful Missouri River. Later on the same day of the Cheney rush massacre and American civilians buried the dead Dakota sioux bodies on a secret mass grave site. There's no memorial site there for the fallen Dakota sioux people who died there! The only massacre someone tried to cover up the evidence that it never happened there? The childern want an told everyone on the reservation what happened to their own Dakota sioux Indian people who were wrongfully murdered there! The Dakota sioux Indian men also heard the very sad tragic story of their own love ones. Of their entire families and young pregnant young ladies. Who were were brutal hateful torture to death at the Cheney rush massacre site! The American civilians didn't use the fire arms weapons, they brought razer Sharpe axes and sharpe butcher knives for their own heinous act of the extremely evil crimes that they would actually committed to! The men's hearts were broken from the lost of the poor innocent lives at that very terrible sad tragic place! The very next day large party of over three hundred angered Dakota sioux Indian warriors were coming ready to fight against the American civilians! An more warriors were coming later! Near the massacre site the American civilians we're setting up a camp site. Someone told they would be facing a huge massive large numbers of warriors coming towards them from a great distance away! Iron Nation's kul wicasa oyate, the Lakota sioux warriors may have assisted in the fighting to! The American civilians made the main battlefield on the prairie land country. The American civilians had been surprised so many more warriors were arriving to save their homeland! After swift running battle as fought there! The American civilians probably lost more lives there. An several brave sioux Indian warriors would lose their lives in the very intense bloody conflict scene! Dust would rise up from the horses hooves made a great impressive very great battlefield moment! The American civilians couldn't take any more fierce fighting! The rest of defeated wounded weakened American civilians escaped or fled back the reservation border lands! To thier ranches and towns never wanting to take back the hunkpati Dakota sioux people's traditional reservation Buffalo hunting grounds! Many people on the crow creek sioux Indian reservation still remember the sad tragic day that happened there! The last forgotten Dakota sioux tragedy of the 20th century and the last forgotten Dakota sioux Indian war of the great depression area of the two warm spring days of Apiril of 1931. The last true victory song for the Dakota and Lakota sioux people. Our great victory is for retribution for lost poor innocent lives at the brutal Cheney rush massacre site! 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 last true victory song for our native American tribal traditional people! One of our tribal members actually took camera pictures of the massacre site and the secret mass grave site. Many of our brave Dakota and Lakota sioux warriors truly would fight in the great war of world War two! The famous nez perce war leader, Chief Joseph's own words its easy to raise the rifle but its very hard to put it down! My historical information for today. Have a great fabulous wonderful day.
A few of many battles. The victory is always within! Our spirits need to do the right thing, even if death beckons. And true freedom never comes cheap.

These Indians at Wounded Knee never gave up their ARMS, they were NOT DEFENSELESS. It was a BATTLE, it was not a massacre as twisted LIBTARD history has turned it into.!!! - per the memoirs of a 75% Sioux Blood man, Phillip Fairbault Wells (His mother was 100% Santee Sioux. His father’s mother was of the Sioux Nation as well.) Wells was the Cavalry interpreter who witnessed the whole incident! After his service in 1898, Wells retired to Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. There he wrote his Life Story over the next 48 years of his life! Wounded Knee was just a part of his memoirs! ❤️ Mr. Wells tells how the Bucks were armed and upon the completion of the Ghost Dance, the Bucks threw off the blankets covering their rifles and began shooting at the Cavalry Soldiers! Thus the BATTLE was on and sadly many Indian lives were lost. But not lost due to being defenseless, rather lost because they were not willing to go peacefully back to the Reservation …AND that’s the FACT OF THE MATTER‼️

I remember watching this happen on tv. It was truly a tragic situation and many Americans were alarmed by the government's response
50TH ANNIVERSARY ON FEBRUARY 27TH, 2023. AIM.
The US Federal government considered deploying the 101st Airborne to the Wounded Knee Uprising. It's commanding officer flew out alone to take stock of the situation. We wasn't impressed and came to the opinion that this matter came to a head purely because of local politics. He decided he would not recommend it, that is, of deploying federal troops to the Dakotas. The government took his opinion seriously. Someone in the White House probably remembered the 101st was deployed about a decade earlier to escort children to schools under newest desegregation laws in the American south. All the army equipment here, the M-113 APCs and military helicopters and green khaki uniformed soldiers with M16s came from local national guard resources.
The 101st did not go there at all. And rightly so.
Khakis are the tan summer dress uniform of that time. The green uniforms were battle fatigues, and were worn by most soldiers on the job, whatever that job may have been. Office workers, mostly, wore the khaki uniforms. They were both HOT in the sun. When I got to Panama in 1971, I bought some jungle fatigues from the military surplus at Madden Wye. The field units were issued them, we were not. But we could wear them if we had them. They were still hot because of the color, but were much cooler than the starched regular fatigues.
@@wadewilson6628says a lot about you. He probably didn’t get involved because it involved mistreated Americans speaking up, using every single one of their constitutional rights to oppose tyranny.
The woman you saw near the end of the video who was refusing the Oscar award, was a woman named Maria Cruz, or "Sacheen LittleFeather" and she was doing so on behalf of Marlon Brando as a statement about the standoff at Wounded Knee. The media has since slandered her name, claiming she was schizophrenic, a compulsive liar and never of Native descent. They say she was Mexican and German descent, but I believe this was used to refute any legitimacy to an armed protest against the feds. Take me for example, I am white(as f**k), I look white, my parents are white- yet I am 1/8th Native, from the Chicawa tribe. My great great grandma is 100% native. My point here is, I know Sacheen had much more native descent than me, yet because she wasn't "full blooded" and living on a reservation, she was completely stripped of her identity by the media in an attempt to slander any public standing with a rebellion against the feds.
Standoffs like this are still happening to this day and the rebels are labeled as either frauds, racists or terrorists. Careful what you believe in the media-- winners write history.

Great tribe. They kicked the Sioux right out of Minnesota and onto the plains.
I mean I know there r a ridiculous number of bands in our tribe do u know which specifically helped? Do u know If the oddawas or the potowatamie or however it's spelt were their too? They're part of our council of 3 fires so if there was a battle they would have joined in to help. We were a very powerful tribe back in the day though. We kicked the hell out of the Iroquois nation the whole way to Michigan when our first prophet for told the coming of the white ppl so we left the east coast for parts of Canada and Michigan. Had to go all through New York and stuff. Had to fight that tribe for years just to get to our considered holy lands here in Michigan old turtle island.

The Institute of American Indian Arts in Santa Fe, NM, might be a good resource for researching the reality of Reservation history, regarding the racist factors, revealing more rarely mentioned relations between remaining tribal Reservations, some recovering, some rebounding financially, resourceful input relative to different results from reintroducing cultural resources more responsible and respectful than right-wing, primarily Republican viewpoint regarding Native peoples.
@@Jason-hg1pc Thanks Jason, I’ll make sure to search that up and see what they can provide. I’m Canadian so most of my knowledge is based around Canada’s treatment of Indigenous peoples and their history, not American. I’ve learned about stuff like the residential schools, the Oka Crisis, Indian Act and the corruption and neglect of reservations today (lack of jobs and Infrastructure, substance abuse and wariness for sending indigenous kids to high school outside of reservations) when I was still in high school and it’s made me curious towards how America treats its native population, as well as it’s history.
I’ve been lazy though and haven’t looked too deep into it until I had posted this comment originally, it’s quite a doozy. It seems neither are much better in how se had, and are, treating our native/indigenous populations. It’s hard to believe Dick Wilson (the tribal chair at the time) had his own goon squad of paramilitaries to subdue the occupation and harass or even kill people that were opposing him.

The injustices committed by the US Government against Indigenous Native American Indians is probably some of the worst atrocities in history and probably are still being committed to this day... as a New Zealand Maori we have had similar issues through out history... such as taking of our lands, not being allowed to speak our language but that has changed particularly the language, which is now recognized as NZ's 2nd language.. but there are still alot grievances for our people, so I totally support the Native American Indians... we have the Treaty of Waitangi which is a founding document of NZ but it is how it is interpreted that still causes issues .. so to Indigenous peoples the world over don't give up and fight for what's right..!!
Without a doubt.
All this happened,true,and we must continue our fight for what is rightfully ours and that is who we are,Oglala,Dakota,Seminole,Haudenoshone,.Miq Maw,Haida,Cheyene or Apache etc but we are not american in any sense,we are who we were before euros set foot on our lands ,the true human beings refering to ourselves as any thi ng else is accepting

Wow. Never read about this in the H.S. History books
That's because it's a one sided BS story.
I actually think that I may have learned this in school. This occurred a year after me and my classmates were born. We had a very thorough history teacher.
There's A LOT of "other people's " history that's not taught in schools. ****History is written by the victors. They spin & glorify their dream-like version of what happened to make themselves the idealized heros. Most western movies are dripping with the white man's bigoted version of how they "won the west." They're movies made by white men who want to prop up their lies to themselves & the public. Glorify them & demonize the other.
Merci beaucoup.

The arrogance of my ancestors, thinking they could just move in on others' land. And never honor the treaties, many made under duress! Some of that attitude remains, thinking we can treat the Earth as ours to as we please without regard, disguised as progress. I am not guilty of what they did and hope all people can heal and move forward to their own lives, with the great opportunities this troubled country still has.

This was the same time that the Kootenai at Bonners Ferry declared war on the United States, led by chief, Amy Trice, a good friend of my mother’s. They finally got the reservation that had been denied them for decades. A good thing for everyone.

No way. A: Conquered lands are not given back. B: If you want to see what would happen then research Leech Lake in MN, and Lake of the Woods in Canada. Both were fished empty and only when the US govt and State of MN stepped in for Leech Lake, and the Provincial Govt of Ontario step in for Lake of the Woods and forbade such abuses of natural resources did those ecosystems get saved. Also, tribal/"first nation" lands have been over harvested for lumber and minerals. Just do a search and you'll see what happens as there are countless examples in the US and Canada.
True Americans using the right to bear arms
Very true
They're indigenous, not Americans at all. They were conquered, given a bit of land to settle, and they've failed. Their victim mentality keeps them down in the mud, however that appears where they wish to be because they try not to earn, to learn, or to better themselves.

Is one of the men who encouraged Native Peoples to stand up for their Rights.
I met Clyde, Dennis and Russell in Minneapolis North Highschool 1973, 12th Grade.
They were good people.
I used to go Fishing on Lake Mille Lacs back then. The Reservation housing was horrible and Natives were often treated bad. It's wonderful now. The sacrifice paid off.
Native American History as told by uncle Sam
Russell Means book, " Where White Men Fear to Tread," really does a better deep dive into Wounded Knee & other atrocities First Nations people have had to face. Great book👍
Russell Means book, just another biased perspective from someone without any personal knowledge or experience of the true events that occurred at Wounded Knee during December of 1890.!!! One cannot derive assumptions from what others have made biased statements about and call that history, it is NOT, it’s complete BULLSHIT.!!!

The OPTGS holds a hearing, inviting: President of the Privy Council England, King Charles, the Governor of the Hudson's Bay Company and president of the Bank of England. The "American Government" and the "Canadian Government" are interlopers thus no need to invite the invisible! You have the council meeting, call witnesses, come to a resolution. Present our findings to the four invitees with an "ultimatum". You could also take a path of least resistance: "If you were born on Turtle Island ... you are a Turtle Islander.

We Are Still Here
You left out a HUGE part of Native culture and a major reason for the 1973 occupation. The tribes had been forbidden to practice their traditional beliefs. They were stripped from their families and sent off to boarding schools where priests and nuns sexually abused them, forced them to cut their hair and beat them if they spoke their own language.
A miracle happened there that I never read about. Russell Means recounts a powerful event-- in the book "Where White Men Fear to Tread"
"One dark, moonless night, we packed into the purification lodge. An intense firefight raged outside, but we were so involved in singing and praying that we didn't hear it. We finished our ceremony during a lull in the shooting. When we opened the flap, people rushed over, thinking that everyone inside was dead or wounded. They told us the feds had been shooting at the fire pit next to the lodge. We looked for bullet holes. Crow Dog said, "Look at this," pointing to an expended 223 caliber slug like those fired by an M16 on the ground near the lodge. Circling the hut, we found three or four more.
When daylight came, we found still others embedded in the lodge itself, in blankets draped over the framework.
It was almost the same as our tipi -- no holes in it, but slugs lying atop the snow all the way around."
To truly grasp the miracle that happened here, you have to go back to the original massacre at Wounded Knee in 1890.
Wovoka, a Paiute Holy Man, received a vision from Jesus and was instructed to show the Native folk a dance and song to rid the world of evil. If they did as they were told Jesus would block bullets from penetrating their shirts.
But they disobeyed and tried to use the dance to rid the world of white people. Because they disobeyed, they were not protected and the result was the massacre.
In 1973, they were praying in a good way, and so Jesus kept his promise and protected them.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Yeah they probably left that out because it didn't happen.
You Russel Means was Racist. He wrote that mixing with othe Races would brind disease and will make Nation weak. This could be straight away from Göbbels.
Don't listen to scott. Satan has clouded his ability to understand Jesus.
