I remember that day when we shot this scene. Sure was hot and musty in the building. I felt like I was taken back in time throughout the shooting of the movie. I often wondered what it was like for the people that were actually present at these real life events. Must have been inspiring, powerful and yet sad to witness. I smudged and prayed daily during the making of this movie to honor those that were lost during the massacre.
It must have made a deep impression on your heart. It does mine just to see it. In these days of plague and earth changes that are catastrophic my thoughts go to the Indian people wishing I had a small portion of their knowledge to survive and wisdom.
Nothing ever dies, but it's silence is loud...listen for it on the winds of time...keep your balance, keep strong, keep hope alive for the generations that follow...many blessings
I had a dream for the navajo, using einstein's refriderator to condense water from the air. same fridge as RV propane fridge, but heat the element with engine oil and solar thermal so no electricity needed. Pass along to your mechanically inclined tribal members, Potawatomi here.

This makes me feel so many emotions it's unbelievable. I am a Native indigenous Woman from Qualla Nation in Cherokee N.C. set deep in the Southern Appalachian Mountains. I want everyone to realize that we really all belong to one race. The human race. Yes we are of different colors, different cultures, different backgrounds.....But all our blood bleeds red. I hate what happened to my people!! Believe Me. It makes me cry and wonder what would life be like now? I guess we'll never know, but what we can do is coexist with one another with respect and dignity. I pray to the higher power for peace. I would love to see the day when someone stops calling us savages. I would also love to see the day when natives realize that not all white people are bad! This is my prayer!! wado Native Pride our Spirit has never died! ✌👯

@@indiacorea128 Sounds like you ran into some jerks. Most white people I know either feel kinda bad about the past but are mostly neutral and just say "well, it's just an ugly part of history", and others feel their sympathy a bit deeper. I think that the majority of white people are like that; of course, what I've experienced may just say something about the company I keep; I could be off though.
All These Greatest People have is just a poor Land....I can't fight, i can't help... But I still Praying with tears in my eyes! I Hope all Native People Nations will find a peace!!! Ave! I'm from Europe - Lithuania! We have here a lot of people who is trying to propagate Native americans life !!! With all respect to Native American's!!!
I am from the Philippines. I read the book at such a young age, when all these names meant nothing to me if not for my youthful fascination... Yet my tears fell like no other time, so then i guess I must have been innately spoken to by these words... Thank you for sharing.
Dont know if you'll ever read this or if you've ever got to meet us, but as a Native American, it makes me so proud, and makes every Native alive and gone very proud that you're interested in our culture.
A lot of Americans don’t bat an eye to the native americans. Whenever someone acknowledges us it makes us smile, because so many times do we feel we have no voice on our reservations. Not only is it the government working against us, it’s our own people at times too. Sitting Bull was shot by a indian police, along with his son being killed right after. To this day, corruption reigns on our reservations. Standing Rock is where i live, and we still struggle when we don’t have to, for the benefit of those who take money instead of making changes for our people. ❤️ Thank you for your words! Wopila
@{MovinDif} So sorry to hear about the corruption. It seems like all leadership is prone to corruption to some degree, unfortunately. I hope things get better for you and all others affected by it.
If the pen never touched the paper the first time I would be full blooded; none the less I am still native proud. I carry my blood as a patch that can't be taken away
How can people act like they are special and proud because they showed up here in life through NO effort of their own? I cannot understand that mindset of people, but I do know that mindset is what causes untold misery to others and has throughout time. Sometimes I wonder if God let there be different races so He could see who refuses to hate people who are different from them!
Seeing this movie always makes me emotional I'm proud to be Native American and I feel great sorrow for what happened to my people Sitting Bull will live forever in the hearts of our people in which he bestows great courage and wisdom so that all who oppress us will know that we will not give up
As a South Pacific Maori I have a deep connection to the first nation peoples of the Americas. We have a similar past, let your elders tell stories to the youth and revitalize the language and you will be a great nation, proud of your culture and customs
I love the native people's having grown up near Yellowstone Park and as a child in the 50's they were in full authentic dress with war bonnets and their wives too. It was a sacred sight to see and I could feel of their greatness and power.
@Marc I agree with everything he says but unlike natives who hold true to customs and protocols of victor and vanquished....the colonialist method was through deceit and misinterpretation. People's with no written language hold belief systems to a point where someone 1000 years ago will hear chants and prayers that are recognisable if not word for word. So this is the situation that every human in this system knows the consequences of actions and follows through with the appropriate role of vanquished or victor. Colonialists on the other hand had a different system that was confusing to native people. They lied, cheated and killed for land, it is what it is, every culture has gone through the same through history. A fault on their behalf on our people from NZ is they made a treaty that intentionally misled the chiefs who were signing. It is this reason we are able to fight for land wrongfully taken. These are the interpretations of both sides of the coin. I have explained my viewpoint not to dominate my outlook but to simply let you know, I understand your point of view and agree with most of it but want you to see mine....cheers brother!
Those who remain on the rez I say thank you for having the courage to do so for those of us who are full blood, mixed blood, for those of us who have dark hair and eyes and those of us with blonde hair and blue eyes I say thank you We deal with spirit we pray for help and yet when he sends it we refuse the help because it does not look like us The Creator will send help but he sends it through his heart and eyes because he created all of us. Help is here it has been here Native people of all blood quantums should unite and heal then progress will come

I am danish decent, born and raised in Minnesota, and have since I can remember felt deep in my heart a respect and a connection with the Lakota. when I was in my teens I read Bury my heart at wounded knee, and felt sad and ashamed in my heart to read what the europeans did to the natives of this country. playing them against each other, cheating them and deceiving them. infecting them with disease they had no natural resilience too. from that book I keep remembering one passage. "The white man made many many promises. He kept but one, he promised to take our land ... and he took it." Many times I have wished that I was born Lakota, even with all the injustice heaped upon them, how proud I would feel to be a part of that noble people.
If you have the heart of a Native...u are Native in spurit.race becomes irrelevant.And if u are Native with the divide and conquer spirit of the white man with no empathy for Natives....then u are not true native
Great post, Patrick. I spent a couple years in Minnesota in college and one of my good friends with Swedish ancestry said something similar that made me thing. Interesting, he eventually moved his family back to his ancestral land Sweden, obviously part for practical reasons like job healthcare and college (it's free there for his kids) but more important, he told me it was more because of sense of justice. His family and people's natural home is in Europe, not in lands like Minnesota taken from the native Americans (Minnesota is a native American term after all!). An old friend in Wisconsin with German ancestry did same thing moving his family to Germany after 4 generations in US. I think there's a bigger movement of more and more Americans with European ancestry doing this, moving back to their ancestral lands in Europe. And I think it's ultimately a good thing, as the original peoples of North America (this includes Latinos who are overwhelmingly with native American blood, and IMHO African-Americans who were brought here against their will and became native to this land disconnected from their roots) will once again have title to the North American lands. P.S. Denmark is a beautiful country so if you wind up going same route as my friends who moved back to their European homelands, you'll be moving to one of the world's most beautiful countries!
@@jacquespetryszyn8792 ooo stfup u..reality isnt about who were where.thats all u got from the history?stop being petty. Who gives a fuck..this is a movie.what has been said in this scene was fycking reality and it still is.when your pampered ass calm down,research how government treating natives today.they cant even freely make harvests or have animals as much as they need to feed themselves.cause white house telling rhem what to eat and how much they are allow to eat and they are keep cutting their rations.most of them starving.and u are moaning about where two characters in the movie were in reality like anyone will give a fuck about it?american government is still scare to death from natives knowing what happens to them if the lion insode them wakes up so slow genocide is their way to slow the inevitable.
Same here maybe it's the connection of our ancestors being persecuted by English troops the Sullivan's that I descend from were driven from Ireland by Lord Cerew to settle in Spain. I also have a special place in my heart for all natives who are taken advantage of by a more powerful adversary!
The Irish are similar with the Viking invasion and occupation for over 200 years, and then the Ainglish rule for over 800 years, which many Irish supported, same as many Native Americans.
The word Sioux is an insult. It means "snake" because they were thieving, murdering trash. That's why they call themselves Lakota. They are one of the most hated of all native tribes.
This clip from "Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee," I say is for ALL HUMAN BEINGS/PLANTS/ANIMALS/CREATURES/FISH OF THE OCEANS & ESPECIALLY FOR MY FAMILY/RELATIVES/FRIENDS @:STANDING ROCK RESERVATION IN FT. YATES/CANNON BALL, NORTH DAKOTA! Mitakuye Oyasin/All My Relatives/Amen!
My husband is Australian aboriginal & I am a Maori from nz.. All I can say is that this kind of thing happened in both of our countries and I know all too well of the devastation it caused for my ancestors and it ruined the generations to come. Thankfully my grandfather still kept his maori language and was able to fight for his land.
Would this be the same Maori who immigrated to what is today NZ about 800 years ago from Polynesia? You are no more native to NZ than the Europeans who arrived a few hundred years after you did.
It’s tragic how humans have and still do treat each other. I’m not a anti-white white guy and I’m not anti “native” white guy. I’m just a guy that has studied history and knows not a single group of people is innocent when it comes to colonialism because at some point we all moved to a different area and odds are someone was living where we moved to and there was a fight and if you are the one who’s there now, well, then means your group won that fight. Personally I don’t believe reservations should exist, I believe the people in the reservations should be assimilated into the country as a whole and not set aside as some……other place. Just me.
@@tarn1135 MMM there are a lot inside of the Reservation who would fight tooth and nail to keep its existence. As someone else said it is in their best interest to keep it because using corruption, they gain power and money. Its why there is never really a way to end lots of these problems because there are interests within the groups, we mention who want it to continue for their own benefit.
@thesecondsilvereich7828 That's right, and Indians of all feather colors, tattoos and nose piercings benefited immensely from the Anglo-Saxon lifting them out of their barbarism. Truly the white man's burden was great and thankless.
I am white and British but I have long grieved for what the white mans culture has done to the Indian. A clash of cultures that had no hope of any real joining. At least now many of us are learning from you. To all the Indian peoples teach your children to be proud and never stop fighting for their rightful place in this world. We need you.
I am Irish, but these men speak the truth and if we do not listen to them, it is at our own peril. We are one human race. We live on one planet. Don't fuck it up!
Bulgarian Beyonder my word, step back and read the small mindedness you both project! neither of you are weak due to some imagined borders or division. to my knowing both the irish and bulgarians if you will excuse my using man created landmass names to describe human beings; throughout history were both persecuted and desecrated... I'd look back to see when we we're each civilised. Then why... The most precious beings to walk this earth suffered the most brutal genocides. if you both see this as weak, then bless you men. much to learn we still have. ♡
Very honorable and truthful words. I follow my Red Road journey in life trying to make the right decisions. Sometimes the trappings of today can conflict with my feelings towards the old ways. By saying what you have said you have already changed your life. There are many people on the Red Road the deserve to be there. I feel you may be one of them as well...Lonewolf
Outstanding. Films that come close to telling the truth of events that transpired rather than propagate paper-shrouded mythologies that obscure what happened is something we can aspire to in the 21st Century and beyond...
I'm Portuguese. All my live I've lived here in Portugal, but I know well the story of the native American people! And I've tears in my eyes hitch time I watch this movie! Those wore great men. Great warriors. If they wore get together in time, and organize themselves otherwise maybe they had survived!? :( Best regards from Portugal. Nuno Ramos.
It is unlikely. The Native Americans were not a monolithic people. Each tribe and nation considered itself distinct and fought against one another. For example, the Lakota were expelled from Minnesota by the Ojibwe. And the Lakota expelled many other tribes from the Dakotas. Even Sitting Bull was murdered by other Native Americans when they came to arrest him on behalf of the US government.
@@Tony_Cardoza True. The Spanish actually could not manage it. Their settlers and laborers weren't armed due to the encomienda model. The French also failed, but mostly due to a lack of attention.
My father & his friend brought me to his friends house when I was 6 years old he said put out your arms and I will stack these papers till you cannot hold anymore I was a small child and I did hold quite a few papers and then I started to fall down he caught me looked me in the eye and said these are all treaties from the United States government and they have all been broken. I can still see all those papers yellowed and bound with string signed by famous generals famous chiefs in my mind's eye and I remember he had a table with many many more of them
Bret H only a white person could bring up how many treaties the racist (white supremacist) broke the Native Americans and say race was not the issue.Yall are so full of shit it amazes me
ThePerfectBlack100 the lesson I was being taught was not about race you misunderstood what I was saying . I'm mixed race so what ratio of me do you hate?
did I mention hate. I just stated that can not say the genocide of Native Americans had nothing to do with race. I think you would be full of shit if tried to say that
Sitting Bull a man of great power and a man of great wisdom. He saw through the white man and their lies. He stood up firm for his people and let the white man he will no longer take from the Indians. Sitting Bull a chief of his nation a man of great wisdom. Sitting Bull a great chief and a legend that no other can replace. May Sitting Bull spirit flow through his land and keep his people strong in there lives
how I wish I lived at the time of my grandfather my heart weeps at the way we were sccccccrewed out of our lands and punished for our heritage NOW here me my brothers of the Lakota they are doing it again DON'T TOUCH THE PEN FIGHT THEM. AHOH STRONG EAGLE LAKOTA
I am very pleased with most of these comments. It warms my heart to hear people understand what happened to my anseters. Most kids in my school do not understand and it fills my with anger as I desperately try to explain to them, their minds are corrupt for their parents tell them one thing when it's really another. I see that they look down at me when I walk through the halls, they try to tell me that I am not who I say I am. And when we learn about how my people were actually treated they try to say that it really wasn't all that bad, and give an example of what Hitler did to that Jews. Yes the Jews were treated terrible, and I am in tears just reading about it, but they were helped out and now they live and free men and women. The Natives have been getting tormented by the government ever since the whites created a government, but you never here stories in the news paper about these acts of genocide, that are randomly inflicted just because we are Native. You don't here about how the government is trying to make it so the Navajo people have even less land yo live on, and just because they want to build a stupid pipe to transfer water. They say we live in a society that is 'color blind' but are we really color blind? If we are than why are we still using racist slurs for professional sports names. Such as the Redskins, you don't see a team calling themselves the Blackskins because that is considered being the ultimate racist. If you bully a black person all hell brakes lose but what about the many other ethnic groups living in America, so apparently to the white man its ok to bully an Asian or a Native because it's not "technically" being racist. White have their logic upside down and need to open their eyes to what really happens around them, if that is too much to ask.
I agree with you, they are closed minded , there are not many who are see beyond what someone tells they are lazy . "Blindness"is a mask so they cannot see the whole of a situation. Start with one you and live tall and not worry about abject behaviour do what Vine Deloria. (Native American author) He fought eloquently with his pen and you can carry on in your own way. I hope I have not offended
Saquora Romero-Cannon They have been told so to believe that our spiritualism is wicked, like ISIS and that it should have been banned. They will tell you that you are fortunate as no one else has land set aside for them. They will tell you that you receive free money from the government just by being NDN. All of these things are either distortions or lies. The reservations are prisons where non-Native perpetuate crimes with impunity. The land desecrated by outsiders to make it poisonous to all that live there. Never in my life did I ever receive "free money" from anyone. They tell us the past is the past while they live in luxury from a legacy that was at our expense. They will never understand you, and if you show friendship to them and try to explain it, most will despise you for it. In a world where only the individual matters and what material things you can buy. Where the lie is the truth and the truth is a lie. But do not let it devour you. Remember who *you* are, and know that you should not burden your heart with their hate or you shall become one of them and suffer their fate. They will burn in the fires that they have built.
Apparently the so called pilgrim fathers (the Puritanism) left Britai not because they were being persecuted but through their intolerance of the New concepts of Christianity like Methodism Evangelical thinking. They came to American colonies to cause havoc to their. Own and also to the indigenous peoples. It is obvious that concept of the land of the free is spurious to say the least. They did an excellent job of attempting to destroy the whole of the Indian nations but you are not alone there those have fought for your rights and others in other parts of the world who have seen the hypocrisy of the European usurper ie white Americans. I am ashamed that my forebears did this and I will state that the Indians did not entirely perish at Wounds knee to use an obvious example keep informing people and eventually Justice will prevail !
Saquora Romero-Cannon Agreed. The Native People need to stand up and be vocal as bad medicine is flowing across this Land from the South, making false claims and spreading lies that the spirit of their ancestors walk this land that is the Continental USA. I am speaking of the latino and their La Raza banner. Though many Native Brothers and Sisters where taken by the Spanish to Mexico and the Caribbean to serve as slaves and concubines, those who call themselves latino and fly the La Raza flag make no claim to this. They are mostly Aztec or Mayan, two cultures that bore no historical claim to this ancestral land. A large number of latino actually have no indigenous Amer-Indian DNA being mostly Hispanic with Berber or sub-Saharan African. Brazilians, who are mostly Portuguese decent do not call themselves latino. The word latino is a PC term, not a race. It follows inline with the Mexican Government's forced practice of "mestizo" to promote Mexican unity and pride. Another PC term. Latino's use correlates with the principles of the Plan of San Diego (Texas) and the Plan of Aztlan, thus why it began its use in the mid 20th century. I say to you, Native Brothers and Sisters. Your voice, your language, your culture, your history is being purposefully used to serve the purpose of European descendants who are foreign to this Land who seek to colonize it for their own. Get vocal. Form a group and make demands that this bad medicine be stopped. Send a representative to Congress to address this. Geronimo hated the Mexican. Many Southwestern Nations fought against the Mexicans in the Mexican-American War. Yes, the White Man's Government did terrible things, but do you not see how Mexico and other Central American nations have treated their indigenous peoples and how that has not changed? That is coming here. As the La Raza drum beats louder, yours grows quieter.

From England we have have been centuries slow and ignorant to understand the Turtle Islanders plight though some have known and were silenced by those who do not like truth. That truth has long been buried but now we are waking up and have moved to prevent further centralised power structures ruling us in future, though it is a slow fight to achieve that. When i was young i was taught all the lies you still yet see in media here, propaganda by governments and nations across the world and waking up to the truth for us was hard, the truth haters have held sway here for many centuries. Many of us now know the truth, and we support you in your struggles in Dakota and everywhere you have been incarcerated and subjugated. It was an Irish friend of mine who first opened my eyes, and i am eternally grateful to her for that. Most of all we support you in spirit and in endeavor and also to prevent the continuation of subjugation of our spirit here in England where we are slowly awakening to the history of our own crushed but continuing struggles.
thanks for sharing, is one of the best scenes in the film and is a clear sign of pride for our people, my prayers are with them. REMEMBER WOUNDED KNEE, REMEMBER NEVER FORGET OR FORGIVENESS
Your people didn't sprout from the prairie, they took the land from others. Your people weren't a peace loving people, they killed and used force to displace others. The white men were simply stronger and and more numerous, with better weapons. Let's not pretend that there is any moral high ground here.
My absolutely beautiful and gorgeous Wife Angi is of Native American descent from the Blackfoot tribes of Michigan that had also became full time travelers. I completely respect and admire the ENTIRE culture of our Native People's. It breaks my heart with the stories and true events documented from ancestors we've talked to on Reservations. I feel the world would be more conservative and somehow peaceful if we still had land the way it was with our first Native Americans.
Thank you so much for this video. I watched this movie yesterday and it really touched me. I am from latin america, that is why my english is not very good but I wish to tell you that I admire the courageous words of Sitting Bull and the history of native american people.
everyone should see this film, made me cry. i got the honour to act in it in Edmonton as a one of the guests when Adam was speaking, i'm proud of being part of this film, but not proud of white people, it's a disgrace how First Nations of America (Canada/USA) have been treated. One day there will be a First Nation President and Prime Minister, Chief of Turtle Island, then things will be set right.
How did you get Liberalism from that. I'm far from being a libtard. I was commenting to johny (You, meaning johny five). To read more about native history and quit playing the victim card. Nice knee jerk reaction though...Andy
those words were not spoken into the wind .All who value liberty would be proud to hold to them , whatever creed or colour .They will echo down the ages .
those who share and remember and teach, I thank you. I wish I had been givien the chance to know my people and their ways from birth, but I was sent to a white family and have only recently returned to my birth mother. I know now I am of the Thunders and Le Boux Lakota. I will learn and I will tech my children what I learn. Our ways will not die and will not be forgotten.
Us the Native Americans should unite and promote one of our people to be president and regain power again, we should make this country a Real American country for our sons and the sons of our sons !!
In all my university years, no book touched me quite like "Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee" and "Black Elk Speaks." I will teach my children these stories.
It's still hurts my soul.to know what happen...I cry often.. I have native roots but dont know what I am but I can feel the spirits all around me like flocks of ravens..and even a hawk form time to time..
Hau mitakuyapi .. lela was'te. Even in dramatization this touches the heart, the earth and the sky. We all walk our road because of those who walked before us. Without them, we would not be here.
This clip stirs sadness in me and enlightens within me a deeper understanding of how the native Americans were cheated out of their rightful ownership of their land by the white American government of the day.
Always been interested with native american indians i find there culture beautiful and free chief red cloud sounded truly amazing what i have learned about him true warrior at heart ❤❤
Powerful words spoken by powerful actors, the rising out of dark oppression and dominance North American Indians lived in harmony with nature and the land and so to take away their land and freedom was a slow death of the feminine energies. This was also done in Ireland in the same brutal ways but somehow the culture, norms and values of both nations survived and this is victory and tryunpth of the grat spirit that moves through us all.
I attend, and you tell the truth. Just last month the Pow Wow at Grand Ronde, Oregon celebrated the veterans of all wars from all people. I was honored to see actual Native's that used the code during WW2
Two great leaders speaking powerfully and poignantly. This scene brings tears to my eyes....pride, sadness, inspiration. I am presently reading Utley's great biography of Sitting Bull, The Lance and the Shield; and I visited both places this summer where Sitting Bull might be buried, as well as Chief Joseph's surrender site. Last summer, we went to Wounded Knee. All of this enriches my experience when watching this powerful scene. Thanks for sharing it! Hoka hey!
Theses man were good man and I love to witch this movie because there are no one like them anymore these man's spoke from there Hart and souls very good man
I cried as Red Cloud Spoke, the Indians were patient to put up withe lies and duplicity of these treaties and the actions of the Just in case one person does not know . The American government. Sent through army agents the Small pox impregnated blankets to the Indian nations. You can imagine what happened next. Genocide which is still going on now not only the native Americans but other people as well
Dylan, your decision to serve is one of honor for your country. Many have served and done to with honor, and you deserve our respect. Your feelings about what took place in the past is also honorable. Many today, who know and understand what You do today, also feel the same way, but continue to serve, because it is Our country, that we are serving, not someone else's idea of who's country it is, or the government. Thank you, brother, for serving us all.
Wonderful words and pride forever swells. Thanks so much for posting. May all who view these presents be comforted with the learning. Continue to teach all generations. ~Peace, Harmony & Love
25 years ago, while In Arizona On the Apache reservation I was asked What tribe I was from, I said I'm Irish, German! We both had a short prayer, thanked each other for the conversation, and time shared, then he said "it's not your blood - it's your belief!" CHI MEGWICH. Guide me, great spirit, God

This makes me feel so many emotions it's unbelievable. I am a Native indigenous Woman from Qualla Nation in Cherokee N.C. set deep in the Southern Appalachian Mountains. I want everyone to realize that we really all belong to one race. The human race. Yes we are of different colors, different cultures, different backgrounds.....But all our blood bleeds red. I hate what happened to my people!! Believe Me. It makes me cry and wonder what would life be like now? I guess we'll never know, but what we can do is coexist with one another with respect and dignity. I pray to the higher power for peace. I would love to see the day when someone stops calling us savages. I would also love to see the day when natives realize that not all white people are bad! This is my prayer!! wado Native Pride our Spirit has never died! ✌👯
I dont know any white person that refers to indigenous peeps as savages.

@@indiacorea128 Sounds like you ran into some jerks. Most white people I know either feel kinda bad about the past but are mostly neutral and just say "well, it's just an ugly part of history", and others feel their sympathy a bit deeper. I think that the majority of white people are like that; of course, what I've experienced may just say something about the company I keep; I could be off though.

Dont know if you'll ever read this or if you've ever got to meet us, but as a Native American, it makes me so proud, and makes every Native alive and gone very proud that you're interested in our culture.
A lot of Americans don’t bat an eye to the native americans. Whenever someone acknowledges us it makes us smile, because so many times do we feel we have no voice on our reservations. Not only is it the government working against us, it’s our own people at times too. Sitting Bull was shot by a indian police, along with his son being killed right after. To this day, corruption reigns on our reservations. Standing Rock is where i live, and we still struggle when we don’t have to, for the benefit of those who take money instead of making changes for our people.
❤️ Thank you for your words! Wopila
@{MovinDif} So sorry to hear about the corruption. It seems like all leadership is prone to corruption to some degree, unfortunately. I hope things get better for you and all others affected by it.
We conquered the Philippines too , i seen many military men take Philippine wifes 🤣
If the pen never touched the paper the first time I would be full blooded; none the less I am still native proud. I carry my blood as a patch that can't be taken away
Robert Jimenez you maybe wouldn’t be here
How can people act like they are special and proud because they showed up here in life through NO effort of their own? I cannot understand that mindset of people, but I do know that mindset is what causes untold misery to others and has throughout time. Sometimes I wonder if God let there be different races so He could see who refuses to hate people who are different from them!

C Dyson...Very nicely said
As a South Pacific Maori
I have a deep connection to the first nation peoples of the Americas.
We have a similar past, let your elders tell stories to the youth and revitalize the language and you will be a great nation, proud of your culture and customs
I love the native people's having grown up near Yellowstone Park and as a child in the 50's they were in full authentic dress with war bonnets and their wives too. It was a sacred sight to see and I could feel of their greatness and power.
All cultures and peoples have sinned.
@Marc I agree with everything he says but unlike natives who hold true to customs and protocols of victor and vanquished....the colonialist method was through deceit and misinterpretation.
People's with no written language hold belief systems to a point where someone 1000 years ago will hear chants and prayers that are recognisable if not word for word.
So this is the situation that every human in this system knows the consequences of actions and follows through with the appropriate role of vanquished or victor.
Colonialists on the other hand had a different system that was confusing to native people. They lied, cheated and killed for land, it is what it is, every culture has gone through the same through history.
A fault on their behalf on our people from NZ is they made a treaty that intentionally misled the chiefs who were signing.
It is this reason we are able to fight for land wrongfully taken.
These are the interpretations of both sides of the coin.
I have explained my viewpoint not to dominate my outlook but to simply let you know, I understand your point of view and agree with most of it but want you to see mine....cheers brother!

I am danish decent, born and raised in Minnesota, and have since I can remember felt deep in my heart a respect and a connection with the Lakota. when I was in my teens I read Bury my heart at wounded knee, and felt sad and ashamed in my heart to read what the europeans did to the natives of this country. playing them against each other, cheating them and deceiving them. infecting them with disease they had no natural resilience too. from that book I keep remembering one passage. "The white man made many many promises. He kept but one, he promised to take our land ... and he took it." Many times I have wished that I was born Lakota, even with all the injustice heaped upon them, how proud I would feel to be a part of that noble people.
santa clause you think you could come on my rez this next christmas
If you have the heart of a Native...u are Native in spurit.race becomes irrelevant.And if u are Native with the divide and conquer spirit of the white man with no empathy for Natives....then u are not true native
Great post, Patrick. I spent a couple years in Minnesota in college and one of my good friends with Swedish ancestry said something similar that made me thing. Interesting, he eventually moved his family back to his ancestral land Sweden, obviously part for practical reasons like job healthcare and college (it's free there for his kids) but more important, he told me it was more because of sense of justice. His family and people's natural home is in Europe, not in lands like Minnesota taken from the native Americans (Minnesota is a native American term after all!). An old friend in Wisconsin with German ancestry did same thing moving his family to Germany after 4 generations in US. I think there's a bigger movement of more and more Americans with European ancestry doing this, moving back to their ancestral lands in Europe. And I think it's ultimately a good thing, as the original peoples of North America (this includes Latinos who are overwhelmingly with native American blood, and IMHO African-Americans who were brought here against their will and became native to this land disconnected from their roots) will once again have title to the North American lands. P.S. Denmark is a beautiful country so if you wind up going same route as my friends who moved back to their European homelands, you'll be moving to one of the world's most beautiful countries!

VERY powerful scene...Thanks so much for sharing.

Make sure it goes to the Tribes that were slaughtered by other tribes as well.
Yeah and to the many that were mutilated at the hands of Indians
The speech of Sitting Bull and Red Cloud, is the greatest movie scene ever. It's also the truest foresite of our elders, I seen.
And also Hollywood bs. Red Cloud was in Pine Ridge and Sitting Bull in Standing Rock. But hey who cares about reality when myth is so much more fun ?
@@jacquespetryszyn8792 ooo stfup u..reality isnt about who were where.thats all u got from the history?stop being petty. Who gives a fuck..this is a movie.what has been said in this scene was fycking reality and it still is.when your pampered ass calm down,research how government treating natives today.they cant even freely make harvests or have animals as much as they need to feed themselves.cause white house telling rhem what to eat and how much they are allow to eat and they are keep cutting their rations.most of them starving.and u are moaning about where two characters in the movie were in reality like anyone will give a fuck about it?american government is still scare to death from natives knowing what happens to them if the lion insode them wakes up so slow genocide is their way to slow the inevitable.
I am Irish, but the great Sioux nation holds a special place in my heart. The dignity absolutely shines through.
Same here maybe it's the connection of our ancestors being persecuted by English troops the Sullivan's that I descend from were driven from Ireland by Lord Cerew to settle in Spain. I also have a special place in my heart for all natives who are taken advantage of by a more powerful adversary!
The Irish are similar with the Viking invasion and occupation for over 200 years, and then the Ainglish rule for over 800 years, which many Irish supported, same as many Native Americans.
As someone who grew up on two reserves John, and the last name too, in my experience too, the Irish and Natives always were friends
.... as can be seen in County Cork with the Choctaw monument
The word Sioux is an insult. It means "snake" because they were thieving, murdering trash. That's why they call themselves Lakota. They are one of the most hated of all native tribes.
Truth be told sad but TRUE STORY. THANKS.

That was one the most incredible scenes in this movie. Unfortunately it was the death knell of Sitting Bull and those at Wounded Knee.
My husband is Australian aboriginal & I am a Maori from nz.. All I can say is that this kind of thing happened in both of our countries and I know all too well of the devastation it caused for my ancestors and it ruined the generations to come. Thankfully my grandfather still kept his maori language and was able to fight for his land.
Would this be the same Maori who immigrated to what is today NZ about 800 years ago from Polynesia? You are no more native to NZ than the Europeans who arrived a few hundred years after you did.
Your experience isn't America's experience, so it's not even close. Stop generalizing.
maor cannibalism is awesome, we should celebrate the savagery..
It’s tragic how humans have and still do treat each other. I’m not a anti-white white guy and I’m not anti “native” white guy. I’m just a guy that has studied history and knows not a single group of people is innocent when it comes to colonialism because at some point we all moved to a different area and odds are someone was living where we moved to and there was a fight and if you are the one who’s there now, well, then means your group won that fight. Personally I don’t believe reservations should exist, I believe the people in the reservations should be assimilated into the country as a whole and not set aside as some……other place. Just me.
@@tarn1135 MMM there are a lot inside of the Reservation who would fight tooth and nail to keep its existence. As someone else said it is in their best interest to keep it because using corruption, they gain power and money. Its why there is never really a way to end lots of these problems because there are interests within the groups, we mention who want it to continue for their own benefit.
Very powerful. Proud to be Native. Never forget Standing Rock.

Best regards from Portugal.

Thank you Nuno, Culture sharing is a beautiful thing
@Jeremy McGregor I wish there was more sharing/acceptance and less division among all of us.
It is unlikely. The Native Americans were not a monolithic people. Each tribe and nation considered itself distinct and fought against one another. For example, the Lakota were expelled from Minnesota by the Ojibwe. And the Lakota expelled many other tribes from the Dakotas. Even Sitting Bull was murdered by other Native Americans when they came to arrest him on behalf of the US government.
It was no easy feat. It took 400 years of war to defeat the numerous tribes.
@@Tony_Cardoza True. The Spanish actually could not manage it. Their settlers and laborers weren't armed due to the encomienda model. The French also failed, but mostly due to a lack of attention.
My father & his friend brought me to his friends house when I was 6 years old he said put out your arms and I will stack these papers till you cannot hold anymore I was a small child and I did hold quite a few papers and then I started to fall down he caught me looked me in the eye and said these are all treaties from the United States government and they have all been broken.
I can still see all those papers yellowed and bound with string signed by famous generals famous chiefs in my mind's eye and I remember he had a table with many many more of them

I'm mixed race so what ratio of me do you hate?
did I mention hate. I just stated that can not say the genocide of Native Americans had nothing to do with race. I think you would be full of shit if tried to say that

The way they spoke their part had so much power and feeling, Well Done.
And in such fluent English, too. Makes me wonder.....
I am very pleased with most of these comments. It warms my heart to hear people understand what happened to my anseters. Most kids in my school do not understand and it fills my with anger as I desperately try to explain to them, their minds are corrupt for their parents tell them one thing when it's really another. I see that they look down at me when I walk through the halls, they try to tell me that I am not who I say I am. And when we learn about how my people were actually treated they try to say that it really wasn't all that bad, and give an example of what Hitler did to that Jews. Yes the Jews were treated terrible, and I am in tears just reading about it, but they were helped out and now they live and free men and women. The Natives have been getting tormented by the government ever since the whites created a government, but you never here stories in the news paper about these acts of genocide, that are randomly inflicted just because we are Native. You don't here about how the government is trying to make it so the Navajo people have even less land yo live on, and just because they want to build a stupid pipe to transfer water. They say we live in a society that is 'color blind' but are we really color blind? If we are than why are we still using racist slurs for professional sports names. Such as the Redskins, you don't see a team calling themselves the Blackskins because that is considered being the ultimate racist. If you bully a black person all hell brakes lose but what about the many other ethnic groups living in America, so apparently to the white man its ok to bully an Asian or a Native because it's not "technically" being racist. White have their logic upside down and need to open their eyes to what really happens around them, if that is too much to ask.
I agree with you, they are closed minded , there are not many who are see beyond what someone tells they are lazy . "Blindness"is a mask so they cannot see the whole of a situation. Start with one you and live tall and not worry about abject behaviour do what Vine Deloria. (Native American author) He fought eloquently with his pen and you can carry on in your own way. I hope I have not offended
Saquora Romero-Cannon They have been told so to believe that our spiritualism is wicked, like ISIS and that it should have been banned. They will tell you that you are fortunate as no one else has land set aside for them. They will tell you that you receive free money from the government just by being NDN. All of these things are either distortions or lies. The reservations are prisons where non-Native perpetuate crimes with impunity. The land desecrated by outsiders to make it poisonous to all that live there. Never in my life did I ever receive "free money" from anyone. They tell us the past is the past while they live in luxury from a legacy that was at our expense. They will never understand you, and if you show friendship to them and try to explain it, most will despise you for it. In a world where only the individual matters and what material things you can buy. Where the lie is the truth and the truth is a lie. But do not let it devour you. Remember who *you* are, and know that you should not burden your heart with their hate or you shall become one of them and suffer their fate. They will burn in the fires that they have built.
Apparently the so called pilgrim fathers (the Puritanism) left Britai not because they were being persecuted but through their intolerance of the New concepts of Christianity like Methodism Evangelical thinking. They came to American colonies to cause havoc to their. Own and also to the indigenous peoples. It is obvious that concept of the land of the free is spurious to say the least. They did an excellent job of attempting to destroy the whole of the Indian nations but you are not alone there those have fought for your rights and others in other parts of the world who have seen the hypocrisy of the European usurper ie white Americans. I am ashamed that my forebears did this and I will state that the Indians did not entirely perish at Wounds knee to use an obvious example keep informing people and eventually Justice will prevail !
Sorry spell checker Wounded Knee
Saquora Romero-Cannon Agreed. The Native People need to stand up and be vocal as bad medicine is flowing across this Land from the South, making false claims and spreading lies that the spirit of their ancestors walk this land that is the Continental USA. I am speaking of the latino and their La Raza banner. Though many Native Brothers and Sisters where taken by the Spanish to Mexico and the Caribbean to serve as slaves and concubines, those who call themselves latino and fly the La Raza flag make no claim to this. They are mostly Aztec or Mayan, two cultures that bore no historical claim to this ancestral land. A large number of latino actually have no indigenous Amer-Indian DNA being mostly Hispanic with Berber or sub-Saharan African. Brazilians, who are mostly Portuguese decent do not call themselves latino. The word latino is a PC term, not a race. It follows inline with the Mexican Government's forced practice of "mestizo" to promote Mexican unity and pride. Another PC term. Latino's use correlates with the principles of the Plan of San Diego (Texas) and the Plan of Aztlan, thus why it began its use in the mid 20th century.
I say to you, Native Brothers and Sisters. Your voice, your language, your culture, your history is being purposefully used to serve the purpose of European descendants who are foreign to this Land who seek to colonize it for their own. Get vocal. Form a group and make demands that this bad medicine be stopped. Send a representative to Congress to address this. Geronimo hated the Mexican. Many Southwestern Nations fought against the Mexicans in the Mexican-American War. Yes, the White Man's Government did terrible things, but do you not see how Mexico and other Central American nations have treated their indigenous peoples and how that has not changed? That is coming here. As the La Raza drum beats louder, yours grows quieter.

From England we have have been centuries slow and ignorant to understand the Turtle Islanders plight though some have known and were silenced by those who do not like truth. That truth has long been buried but now we are waking up and have moved to prevent further centralised power structures ruling us in future, though it is a slow fight to achieve that.
When i was young i was taught all the lies you still yet see in media here, propaganda by governments and nations across the world and waking up to the truth for us was hard, the truth haters have held sway here for many centuries. Many of us now know the truth, and we support you in your struggles in Dakota and everywhere you have been incarcerated and subjugated.
It was an Irish friend of mine who first opened my eyes, and i am eternally grateful to her for that.
Most of all we support you in spirit and in endeavor and also to prevent the continuation of subjugation of our spirit here in England where we are slowly awakening to the history of our own crushed but continuing struggles.
thanks for sharing, is one of the best scenes in the film and is a clear sign of pride for our people, my prayers are with them.
REMEMBER WOUNDED KNEE, REMEMBER
NEVER FORGET OR FORGIVENESS
Don't forget to get your government check.
Your people didn't sprout from the prairie, they took the land from others. Your people weren't a peace loving people, they killed and used force to displace others. The white men were simply stronger and and more numerous, with better weapons. Let's not pretend that there is any moral high ground here.
My absolutely beautiful and gorgeous Wife Angi is of Native American descent from the Blackfoot tribes of Michigan that had also became full time travelers. I completely respect and admire the ENTIRE culture of our Native People's. It breaks my heart with the stories and true events documented from ancestors we've talked to on Reservations. I feel the world would be more conservative and somehow peaceful if we still had land the way it was with our first Native Americans.
Thank you so much for this video. I watched this movie yesterday and it really touched me. I am from latin america, that is why my english is not very good but I wish to tell you that I admire the courageous words of Sitting Bull and the history of native american people.
everyone should see this film, made me cry. i got the honour to act in it in Edmonton as a one of the guests when Adam was speaking, i'm proud of being part of this film, but not proud of white people, it's a disgrace how First Nations of America (Canada/USA) have been treated. One day there will be a First Nation President and Prime Minister, Chief of Turtle Island, then things will be set right.

those who share and remember and teach, I thank you. I wish I had been givien the chance to know my people and their ways from birth, but I was sent to a white family and have only recently returned to my birth mother. I know now I am of the Thunders and Le Boux Lakota. I will learn and I will tech my children what I learn. Our ways will not die and will not be forgotten.
Great men they were , both spoke with their heart and soul great respect I have for them .
Did they speak English that fluently, though, I wonder 🤔
Us the Native Americans should unite and promote one of our people to be president and regain power again, we should make this country a Real American country for our sons and the sons of our sons !!
Definitely better than trump and Hilary I hate em'. Let's elect a REAL American!!!!!!
In all my university years, no book touched me quite like "Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee" and "Black Elk Speaks." I will teach my children these stories.
what they said was everything true
It's still hurts my soul.to know what happen...I cry often.. I have native roots but dont know what I am but I can feel the spirits all around me like flocks of ravens..and even a hawk form time to time..
Such is the way of all those who truly belong to Mother Earth... Odin help us for we have lost our way.
One of the best scenes from the movie and there are a lot of good scenes in it
A lot of truth !!
greatly done. I could feel the power of the Native Spirit!
Indians know magic and sheet.
Hau mitakuyapi .. lela was'te. Even in dramatization this touches the heart, the earth and the sky. We all walk our road because of those who walked before us. Without them, we would not be here.
Your Grandfather by doing what he did is a hero to his and my people
Sitting Bull will be remembered for all eternity.
This clip stirs sadness in me and enlightens within me a deeper understanding of how the native Americans were cheated out of their rightful ownership of their land by the white American government of the day.
We must not forget great warriors that were willing to keep our way strong
The Indian people are being treated terrible, even to this day what a shame.
Rest in Peace, Sitting Bull.
I wish it was mandatory to play this amazing film in every school in the United States of America.
Amen to that John Amaya
the woke dip$hit$ will be offffffffehhhhnded
Always been interested with native american indians i find there culture beautiful and free chief red cloud sounded truly amazing what i have learned about him true warrior at heart ❤❤
I am Dine and still believe these words of wisdom. Aho!!!!
Powerful words spoken by powerful actors, the rising out of dark oppression and dominance North American Indians lived in harmony with nature and the land and so to take away their land and freedom was a slow death of the feminine energies. This was also done in Ireland in the same brutal ways but somehow the culture, norms and values of both nations survived and this is victory and tryunpth of the grat spirit that moves through us all.
If you can't defend it, you don't deserve it
This is what it really boils down to. Power and strength are the ultimate deciders.
@@spiderknight9893 Might makes right
I attend, and you tell the truth. Just last month the Pow Wow at Grand Ronde, Oregon celebrated the veterans of all wars from all people. I was honored to see actual Native's that used the code during WW2
Inspirational as always, offerings in honor of our ancestors!
Your ancestors were cowards who traded off smaller and weaker tribes. Then were foolish enough to think they stood a chance lmao.
An incredible movie. It's a great privilege to have the technology to see this stuff in movie format. Reading it just isn't the same.
Two great leaders speaking powerfully and poignantly. This scene brings tears to my eyes....pride, sadness, inspiration. I am presently reading Utley's great biography of Sitting Bull, The Lance and the Shield; and I visited both places this summer where Sitting Bull might be buried, as well as Chief Joseph's surrender site. Last summer, we went to Wounded Knee. All of this enriches my experience when watching this powerful scene. Thanks for sharing it! Hoka hey!
Theses man were good man and I love to witch this movie because there are no one like them anymore these man's spoke from there Hart and souls very good man
I cried as Red Cloud Spoke, the Indians were patient to put up withe lies and duplicity of these treaties and the actions of the Just in case one person does not know . The American government. Sent through army agents the Small pox impregnated blankets to the Indian nations. You can imagine what happened next. Genocide which is still going on now not only the native Americans but other people as well
August Schellenberg so superb in all things he does. Black Robe was the first thing I ever saw him in.
i too have a patch. of all the others i am, that patch is who i really am. always Speak the Truth!
Try nicotine GUM, too.
Dylan, your decision to serve is one of honor for your country. Many have served and done to with honor, and you deserve our respect. Your feelings about what took place in the past is also honorable. Many today, who know and understand what You do today, also feel the same way, but continue to serve, because it is Our country, that we are serving, not someone else's idea of who's country it is, or the government. Thank you, brother, for serving us all.
Wonderful words and pride forever swells. Thanks so much for posting. May all who view these presents be comforted with the learning. Continue to teach all generations. ~Peace, Harmony & Love
25 years ago, while In Arizona On the Apache reservation I was asked What tribe I was from, I said I'm Irish, German! We both had a short prayer, thanked each other for the conversation, and time shared, then he said "it's not your blood - it's your belief!" CHI MEGWICH. Guide me, great spirit, God
