Lakotah: Wounded Knee, 1973 video

Hoka Hey!!!!

Today is a good day to die!

Not sure I'm 'important' enough for them to give me too much of a hard time, but if free-speech becomes more limited, then that might change.

I was around 5 years old when this happened, but this is the first I've ever heard of it.

Mrs. Guildersleeve; the little mouse, flipping the bird to the big eagle.

Thanks OP!

I see very little difference between this siege and the one of Tianenmen in China.

Wrong and SHAMEFUL treatment of human beings.

Watched this video earlier.
Terribly wrong and sad.
Well worth the watch.

Bump

Watched it all Thanks.

Wow! Thank you OP for posting this.

A must watch!

Kudos to you for posting this AC

I saw this in a Movie Theatre in 1986.

Extremely moving and eye opening.


God Bless them

Welcome to the Fascist States of America.

I used to know someone who took part in the Wounded Knee stand off. He didn't talk much about it, no real details. He had moved to Houston and was working for a carpet steam clean company.

Russell Means said that all the policies of the US Government, around the world, were first experimentally used on the Tribal Reservations.

He's in his late 60's now and was a spokesman and fighter at Wounded Knee.

And not much has changed since then Government policies still the same and treaties still violated and broken.

May the Great Spirit Bless you

All your lands are belong to us.

When it comes to those "in charge" what "wrong" is there ?


Remember.....this is the machine world. This is the world that everyone loves and wanted. And anyone that stands in the way of it has got to be gone.

Love the machine. Or so they say.

The meek and lowly shall inherit the earth.

A beautiful people done wrong...

and still being done wrong. What goes around comes around.

This is not the world everyone wanted and loved, but our voices that agre against it are ceasing to speak because so many have became weak waiting for the things too that shall pass.

Ahh, saw it on PBS, many old friends...many sad memories...there is a whole generation of us who were all brilliant brave and strong hearted warriors who lost the years from age twenty to age fourty fighting for rights that should have been ours all along. We gave the best years of our lives and some of us gave our lives, 400 at one count fell in this war.

But in 1974 we won the freedom of Religion act, later the grave repatriation act so some of us could go reclaim our grandmothers bodies which museums cut up to study...It was worth it...tears have made furrows down many of our cheeks. Jerry Brown protected Dennis(Banks) in California and Russel got stabbed in Sioux Falls Prison but survived. The rest of us got old but still will answer a call if AIM needs us...My children and grandchildren look at grandma with pride. I look at them with love because they were who I risked it all for.

May the Great Spirit Bless you
