I’m proud to say I’m a sober Native American woman ✊🏼
We need more journalists like Lisa. She's so smart but also possesses such compassion and empathy. She makes every story so human.
She is excellent at these stories. No matter how controversial some are she maintains her objectivity.
Yes! Very objective, intelligent and articulate narrative.
We do. And I hope this show returns for another season.
Not to mention she’s super 🥵🥵🥵
Intergenerational trauma, my father had it . They stole our land in the name of God. He said natives wouldn't convert to their religion so they had no value to the white man, and they call US savages. I bought our land back last year.
Miss you Daddy.
Good read trail. Of tears
Good for you prayers to heal stay strong sister ❤️🙏
What tribe are you a descendant of?
Intertribal fighting white men don't have monopoly on violence to other humans.
Good luck Sister,,
Black lives matter, but everybody forget that Native lives also matter. Tears running out of my heart.
I’ve never forgotten I never will
Not everyone forgets. Here in Europe I teach my students about Native Americans and what was taken from them. No, you are not forgotten. In my heart I really do feel that will rise again, it will take time but you will.
What does that have to do with this? Why is it even mentioned?
you should educate yourself on the black lives matter concept. Its not saying all lives dont matter. Its saying we must focus on the issue at hand. and BLM has spoken on native suffering as well. Asian people too. Basically anyone of color should support BLM.
No one said Native American lives don't matter! Stop with this stupid nonsense! I'm sick of you people trying to convolute what the black lives matter movement is about! Do not dismiss their pain. When they fight for equality, protest are getting killed no one stands up for them. This is the first time we have all come together to help in their fight. Do not do that, they have been through enough!
proud to be Native American ✊🏾
And you should be proud the be a foreigner
Your culture is Beautiful ❤️
I’m sorry for what happen, your culture really is beautiful
Mexica Tiahui here.. We're family..
And me
Why don’t people understand that our current realities are a result of the past. Our history DIRECTLY affect us today.
but at some point we have to overcome the victim mentality...and try to push past a government provided lifestyle which sucks. 80% unemployment is a huge problem...youth see no hope or opportunity. must be a tough decision to stay or leave the res if things don't improve.
Jim Houser It’s not a mentality. This is about actual injustice that effected their ancestors and is still being legislated over them today.
Well said!!! Fully agreed!!
Very true! We also have to be careful we dont blame people of today but acknowledge the deep damage that was done and work together to fix it.
elsa blue True. We can’t blame the people of today unless they continue to hold up the systems that allow the oppression to continue. And silence is just as guilty as active intent.
Native Americans are such a beautiful people theirs a lot we could all learn from them
There's a lot you need to learn in general. Start with spelling.
Leya Leigh righto keyboard warrior
Leya Leigh why insult someone’s nice comment?
Leya Leigh 💆🏻♀️THERE(their)spelling should be the last thing one needs to worry about......🤦🏻♀️
Angel Fairy lmfaooooo wait!!!? Why!!!? Did you not open your eyes & read correctly?! My life is far from miserable. Take a look again at my comment. Before you “lash out at someone whom was defending you.” 🤦🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️😉😘
Aired 8 years ago, but still relevant today.
Probably worse now

Share this. It needs exposure again.
Yes.
Yes it is
It's wrong what was done to the native Americans by the european colonisers who stole their land and relegated them to reservations. Informative documentary highlighting this continuing social injustice.
That's what they do. They still do it to this day through systematic rasism. They do it to blacks, Hispanics, and ALL other people who are not European. In fact they still do it to their own who are poor.
#NativeLivesMatter #FukTheRedSkinsFranchise
Sad.
We need to start helping others with the injustices we see! If we all help a little we can and will make a difference. It's important we start here and learn but we must take some action.
Aron Toulouse My family lives in reserve in Canada they have no clean water or heat and it’s like 39 dollars for A pack of bottled water the Government needs to do better for them
@Steve Hunt why don't you go home? The ONLY people that have a genuine right to be here are Native Americans. So it's not for you to say who goes home and who doesn't.
Her reporting has always been so amazing. Done with care, knowledge and honest curiosity.
W
And RESPECT.
Why do we treat our Native Americans this way? The racism in The United States needs to stop!!!! I work on a Paiute reservation and it’s the same there too!
#Biden 2020 because it doesn’t fit the agenda.
America treats black people alot worst. America is babylon that is why she is falling now. Repent you satanic workers of iniquity.
#Biden 2020 Unfortunately racism is something a lot of people deal or have dealt with. I do think having social media helps shine the light on the roaches that hide lol
Tatrice Shipp Blacks just need to accept it!
@@tatriceshipp9139 Yet Natives deal with racism from both classes
Am ugandan and this breaks my heart how can America donate money to our corrupt leaders instead of helping its own first 😳😳u can’t help yo neighbor without helping yo own first
They are buying off our leaders to access our resources &land... they will never be satisfied until they take & control everything & everyone
Get off your butt, and do something. Government doesn't own anyone anythingl except it's Veterans.
Yuvette Black Americans where here in America first! But you right, I will do whatever I could for them if I run across them at work in my 18 wheeler
Dave Israel X idk what kind of bs propaganda you’ve been watching or what kind of drugs you’ve been smoking.
@@nastybigJim Never have used drugs, and it's never been your America.
My native mother worked hard to raise her 10 children her first husband was an alcoholic. She managed to raise them all no alcoholic children.Sadley 5 of her grandsons are alcoholics. I pray the cycle will be broken.
That's the way the intruders still to this day destroy indigenous populations all over the world, they introduce alcohol to the culture. It's what they are probably thinking of doing when they reach the native groups in the Amazon.
Thank you for charging.
Strong Mother You have.
Huge hugs from Germany 🤗
breaking the cycle is key...she sounds like a wise and disciplined lady.
IN JESUS NAME, IT IS DONE, I DRAW THE BLOODLINE OF JESUS CHRIST AROUND THEM RIGHT NOW! THANK YOU JESUS FOR YOUR PRECIOUS BLOOD THAT PROTECTS US FROM DAY TO DAY THAT YOU SHED FOR US ON THE CROSS! I, TOO, AM NATIVE WITH STRONG VALUES & BELIEFS & I ALSO WAS RAISED TO LOVE JESUS! HE CAME TO SET THE CAPTIVES FREE & HE IS DOING IT RIGHT NOW WITH YOUR MOTHER'S GRANDSONS! WATCH YAHWEH WORK!
THE CYCLE IS BROKEN! HALLELUJAH!
My people have endured so much, and my family escaped Pine Ridge and were lucky enough to get their education, and make something of themselves. This all breaks my heart, and my people are so strong, and beautiful no one will take away our pride.
I am wondering if the land is poisoned
Stop it cause you ain't from no americas
Or your bottle.
It’s unbelievable that your people where left and forgotten about we should help our natives get the hell out of there and make a better life like everyone else who gets the chance to
@@carlasullivan3637 troll
Its crazy how we all ignore problems like this.
@Aron Toulouse even if it is just shifting our eyes so we cant have it.
Ya and we all need to stop ignoring our real problems in this country. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and comments
Albe: Don't use "we all". There's a lot of people who don't and are out there championing people's rights. The media (in all forms) doesn't report on that. The media fans the flames for viewership, not fact and certainly not in the interests of those who could use help.
@@jenniferwilcox9759 yeah but you and I know its the majority. We atleast know the hardships of Native that where caused by colonizers in school and the discussion about their problems ends there.
Because we’re all too busy as the worker bees in the hive of the money making economic machine... the system is very clever with how to keep everyone controlled... take away access to food, water, shelter... and man will do anything you say....
Really need to do a documentary on the reserves in northern Canada. We are lost, but slowly finding our way..
There's a documentary called Nahanni River of Forgiveness!! I just heard about it today on the cbc! It sounds really good!
Hey des quinzel I would like to learn more about your people and your reservation .. shout out from Iowa stay positive sister ...
We’re not lost lmfao they still are full blooded natives here in Canada 🇨🇦 whoever told you that were lost white washed you lol that’s not true. I’m from muskowekan First Nation rez and George Gordon’s rez. Idk what you mean by lost Idk I don’t think we’re lost we just hang out and stick with our own kind more here in Canada 🇨🇦
why should we care?...because they are humans and fellow Americans...that's why.
Holy shi that is literally exactly what I said in my comment above I also said and because if Americans are strong, America is strong.
I know right?! I was shocked when this was the first question and wanted to turn off the whole thing! What an awful and useless question! Why does anything matter if asked like that???
But we don’t care 😂😂😂
It wasn't a sarcastic question. She was giving the lady an opportunity to share her story.
Who asked you to care?.
Hoping to make it to 40, so sad.😢
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 am so sorry this hurts my heart
Young people will make a change.
I am a good listener. Please I am over half indian and wish to do whatever I can. Much love
My heart cries for these people. Love from a Maori sister in New Zealand ❤
I'm from New Zealand 🇳🇿 to naki
Lisa Ling you did a fantastic job with this documentary. The racism has got to end. Native Americans have been here for thousands of years and the colonist took their heritage and land.
The Native American People are a Beautiful People keep your head's up and I hope and pray 🙏 that every thing will be ok God Bless
These are not natives these are white ppl who think they are indian! The Indians were very dark skin! These ppl are white or have very very little native blood
This is beyond heartbreaking. I love the native American people with my whole heart ❤️ Praying for breakthrough!!
Love ya babe
Melissa Harris. Then go back to europe
Thank you so much for your prayers, love and peace.
First Nations too
this is also happening to them here in Canada too !!! Native lives matter 😰
Native north Americans : depressed
Native central and south Americans : happy dance party everyday
Maybe thats a movement that needs to be started
NLMT...Native Lives Matters Too
These are the people that could save us. America needs to wake up and save them. I give honor to all Native Americans, past, present and to come to us in the future.
If it was not for these people,new settlers would not have made it. Such a beautiful,respectful and powerful people. If I am a proud Canadian it is because of these people.
White man should have remained in England.
My people 😭💔 generational trauma is real, it hurts. The loss of culture, religion, language is devastating.
Yes, genocide has a long and nasty aftermath
Don't be sad, move on from the dark past
I thought my reservation was desolate but after seeing this I’m grateful for the little my tribe/reservation have. My mom and brother live on the reservation they love that life. I have always liked big cities but once I get up in age I’ll go back and live on my land to be with my people.
The USA government doesn’t need the fake Indians anymore! That’s why they treat them like this! They used the fake Indians to take the the true Indians identity, the Indians are not white
@@Chowanoc222 They are mixed race. A lot of White Men took Indian Wives.
I think that’s beautiful to go back home. Our heritage as people of color... scares these colonizers to death. Continuing your heritage (and demanding freedom) are the most powerful things we can do for the future. ✊🏾
Covena White These ppl are straight up Caucasians😂😂
Aron Toulouse he sure the hell does SND he is proud of me! These ppl are white trying to claim another culture and heritage but you never see them talk about their white parents and grandparents!!! Oh the irony! Even white ppl don’t want to be white ppl
Wow. Oh my god. So many parallels here between them and my African American Community. This is America.
The europeans use their same program on everyone that is non white. Learning about narcisme has tought me a whole lot about whites in power
Give me a break. Your people SOLD you. Why aren't you mad about THAT???
Ignore them. People like that don't know how to let other cultures get attention without inserting themselves into it. (I'm Native American)
@@inlove1127 hi they did the same thing to native Australian people the aborigines sooo sad. 🇬🇧
@@foodlover7756 the aboriginals in Australia also sufferd and continue to suffer. It's the men in power and their racist agenda. And the silence of the majority
I live in Reno, NV and I'm happy to say our city officials have gotten rid of Columbus Day and we now CELEBRATE "Indigenous Peoples Day"!
I know it's not much, and it is much too late, but it's a step in the right direction.
Indigenous Rights Matter too. We have to fight for them as hard as we do for our Black Brothers and Sisters. We have to listen to their stories and voices to know how to help. I see intelligent, beautiful people who are treated with prejudice, and worse, ignored by society. It has to stop!! We can't just say this is wrong its so sad... we can't just be kind and egalitarian friends... this needs action.
Love this!
And that is the truth of what we as people of color stand up for...each other!
First of all, there's no need to play up of one over the other. Native lives matter would have been good enough and gotten your point across 🤷🏾♀️. I am of Native and Black ancestry, so comments like this are slick dismissive and unnecessary, regardless of your intention. Both groups have been pulverized by European colonization and they both have to fight their way upstream for generations to fight against unequal opportunities, due to the devastation that is visited upon us through the struggles of our ancestors, the government, colonization and slavery. All of these things still have a tremendous effect on both groups of people today. Furthermore, both groups have separate struggles that if you're not apart of either group, you wouldn't really be privy to, or be qualified to really speak on if you don't have to be/ know. So yes, black lives do matter. AND, Native lives matter just as much.
They both matter equally and deserve just as much consideration as the other. Both different and deserving of rights.
@@brelovesgucci Youre absolutely right!
I've worked in many trauma units. Those children are crying out for garbage bags, a broom, etc. They are more than happy to make their environment beautiful. They do not accept that they must be miserable. Those are adults pounding into their heads that being miserable is normal. Love is just as contagious as hate. One can not force one into anything. Even the worst villain can not protect him or her from the courage and strength that these children have.
All Native Americans are "The True Natives Of This Country! I have A Great Deal Of Respect For Them All in This Country. May God Bless Them All & Keep Them Safe.
White men are thieves and took our land.
Precious & powerful Native Americans (of which I am part), remember who you are. Reconnect with your ancestors. Revive the traditions. Recount your indigenous stories & legacies. You are the stewards of the land. You are the healers. Strategize & create your own economy. Reconnect with your power as the strong, resourceful & intelligent people you’ve always been. And always will be. Let the healing begin. I love you♥️✊🏽🤎
They need help
❤❤❤🙏🏽
The United States government sent Native Americans to reservations and Blacks to Ghettos!
Actually they sent blacks to reservations as well. I dont understand why they live like this when they get billions per year from the government maybe they should fight their $5 chiefs
Not close to comparisons. Native Americans had no options and no other group can say that. People whining need to look at THIS
getit girl Black people weren’t sent to reservations - ironic and astounding you would criticize Native Americans for getting state/federal assistance 🙄
@@NM-js8ky native indigenous people are black. The government sent the so called Indians to reservations with their slave's and the so called Indians were suppose to give black Indigenous people some of their benefits treaty of 1866. THE CREEKS ARE SUING IN COURT RIGHT NOW..so know history NOT what the other people propagate on you!
im hawaiian they imprisoned our queen,they stole our lands,and made us slaves to,and hawaiians fought in every war from the cival to oif/oef👍
Oprah, I know you will never read this, but thank you for putting this on youtube. This is educational and depressing. America needs to know what was done, what was taken, and how it's first people are forced to live. These people are owed for the wrongs that Europeans and their descendants did to them. It's very telling that the two groups most victimized by colonizers, Natives and African Americans, are also the poorest with seemingly the most dysfunctional family legacies.
Dark Feather
IT WAS AND STILL IS AN AGENDA.
Anglo Saxon Mission.
Now there is a modern mission, that’s happening now.
I forget what it’s called but the Anglos , before they took the Africans, took White people for hundreds of years for slaves too. And continued to do so into the black slave trade.
These whites were much like the Native Americans and the Native African Tribes. Living With Mother Earth and all her Abundance. Giving thanks to the Great Spirit, that is now in organized religion called God(s).
I am born white of Northern European decent. But not raised in organized religion, as a child I had and still have a need to live with nature and fend for myself that the “ ways” of modern life has attempted many times to bring me to technology, providing my food, enticing with big everything.
But it never worked, the veil was always to thin and I am happiest having what I Need, and I HAVE ALWAYS HAD IT. Even becoming disabled in my twenties, could not bring me to dispair. And at 55, I have three great kids that are minded and same soul as me. Not trying to keep up with the Jones’s and not far from Spirit and Earth. Nourishing THIER body with organic food, and no processed or take out, very little drinking, no drugs.
I was poisoned by my environment or vaccines as an infant and live with pain all my life. I grew up with that pain, and somehow managed to adjust and it is part of me. It’s just me, lol but I get up each day and go into the woods and watch nature and tend my gardens.
I have felt , seen , and communed with Native Souls all my life. They smile because they know my Soul is not unlike theirs. I don’t know if they are interdimentional or are souls from the past, and I still feel them. I have always felt kindred with the plight. I have never understood what is still being done, I feel it like it’s happened to me.
I recently met a friend that told me he had a dream that explained our connection and his “ feelings” to watch over me” ( I was hoping he was not going to that soul mate thing, lol , I am alone , but I like it)
His dream was a quick clip of him as a pioneer, leading me, as a Native, large with child, on a horse to safety. That’s it, no more except he felt the child was born and I (she) lived a long life. Just a moment snapshot. So he feels the cycle has returned. So he checks up on me during this quarantine, and I am grateful.
Where I live in the NorthEast, Many Natives are among us. A girl my daughters age is one of my 5 quarantine group, ( we all live close and have agreed to be happy among eachother and not expose ourselves, we have woods, we have a lake, we have hunting, we have gardens... ect,.. so we all provide for eachother..... it’s like a tribe!!! Lol ( be careful fulnwhat you wish for, You just might get it and spirit has a sense of humor and Corona accomplishes it) 🤣 on a serious note, this is a Reset, to reset all the wrongs. To make Balance happen again.
This is our moment! There will be a shift!,.. back to BALANCE. Some will not survive, but many will , and we must REMEMBER.. our children’s children depend on it.
And Spirit Is taking Retribution.
Do you ever ask yourself way is lake that. That people nothing to do for better futures, specially for their kids.
@@corrinnegarfield2460 i am crying. I love your story and strive to think and be like you. 💛
I understand and I believe Oprah Winfrey read all of these.
I have lots of respect for my Native American brothers, know that we Mexicans have a lot in common with you. Mexico is your land, your welcome to live and enjoy our country. 🇲🇽
No your home is on the other side of the world in the middle east. Stop claiming things that ain't yours
Mexicans are native Americans that’s why y’all are brown
What areas in Mexico would you consider culturally diverse for people to visit?
Mexicans disrespect Indians all the time that's why all the brown skinned ones come to America and the white rich ones stay in Mexico.
U R Not “Mexican” And They R Not “Native American.” U R Apart of The 12Tribes Of The Northern Tribe Of Israel. Gad Is Also Apart Of The Northern Tribe And Is Indeed Our Brethren.
Those names U/we call ourselves Were given to us by our Spaniard And European Oppressors. Not What The Most High God Of Israel Call U. Get the King James 1611 version Bible and also The Book Of The Apocrypha and learn Who And Why We Have Endured These Curses And The Exact Same Atrocities. Genesis 49:14
Wow that woman eiline is amazing I can’t even imagine how mentally draining it is to talk and try to help people who are suicidal daily :( I hope they are all ok
Ur comment drained me with.
I am here to talk. My daughter was murdered at 19 because of drugs I would be proud to be part of any of you
I worked on Pine Ridge in the ER, they called it the "suicide spirit" and its very sad that at one time PR had the highest teen suicide rate in 2015, and were as young as 12y, I'm trying to get back to PR to continue working, my work is still needed.
I’ve always thought that Native American people are so beautiful and we could learn so much from them. I can’t begin to fathom what they’ve been through and the horrible things they have been put through. 💔
OMG yous are such amazing people. All my life I have been so amazed by your culture.The traditional clothes, art, dance and the way you respect your ancestors is absolutely BEAUTIFUL Please please please believe in yourselves..... yous have so much to offer not only your own tribes and people but the rest of the world by your uniqueness.
Absolutely love your culture BE PROUD BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE ❤
“Lakota💖Lives Matter”
All life matters and I mean all 🇬🇧🇬🇧❤️
I am so fascinated by these people. "When I'm dancing, I feel like thunder" "When I'm dancing I feel like Air"... it made me tear up.
This is so powerful!! I wish everybody on that reservation a safe, beautiful and healthy life. All the people interviewed and the unknown are beautiful empowering and special. You all have gifts and are seen 💙💜💚💛
How sad 😔. Our first American people need America’s help. ✝️✝️✝️🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🇺🇸
I think we need their help! They had it right before we came along and ruined it.
Our family is a shame of America for not being here for the first lovely people.
😬 those crosses.......
Stealing was never right so yes America needs to help
We as Native People are NOT AMERICANS !! WE ARE NOT INDIANS !!! WE ARE A SOVEREIGN PEOPLE !!! We didn't ask nor did we ask to be American !! Blessings to The Great and Sovereign Lakota Nation!! NATIVE INDEPENDENCE !!!
Shawn Price - What has being a Sovereign People done for you and your people? You must come into the 21st century. The hatred you feel keeps you from participating in life. I am sure the God's are sadden by this and would rather have you participate in this life at this time. Please come in from the cold. Jesus is Love
What Jackie Edwards said is true. You make your own path in life. Reach for something! it can be something small to start out maybe a high school diploma? Then reach for something else. Your future will start looking brighter
@@frankiekohl1593 I think many Native people see themselves as First Nation people.

It's time for native Americans lead their country. The next president should be a native American.
This is such a moving documentary. I pray our native Americans see change for their people soon. What a heartbreaking legacy.
My heart is broken. Hopelessness kills. These beautiful people are nomadic in their genes. They are not meant to stand still and implode.
Let the lives of the native peoples count for something too.
Then WHY do they?
That's why American Indians are AWESOME. You are Strong 💪 ❤ PLEASE DON'T GIVE UP I HAVE SO MUCH ❤ AND RESPECT FOR ALL OF YOU.

I was crying the whole documentary and I understand their hardship and suffering and I love them all completely. I will be praying to God that they all be safe and sound. 🙏
Yes, you are amazing people. Much ❤ to the American Indians. Your children are children and contemplating suicide at their young ages is so sad. My husband is Cherokee and is proud of it. I feel like he needs to be part of helping the American Indians to survive in this world instead of just talking about being an American Indian.
Thank you, Lisa Ling for this documentary.
I think Lisa, for me is like an Anthony Bourdain. They have a way with words, they’re humble and they connect with others at a human level. I admire them both and enjoy all their work. Thank you Lisa Ling 🫶🏼
Making my way in the Art World ...But my Blood will Always be Native
Its ok you can embrace both and more, the world is your oyster.
I've been saying this since George Floyd was murdered, I was also an advisor for the inter-tribal club back in 2001 2 and 3 the college that worked at I still even though they say it wasn't true witnessed a lot of racism. When the kids came to me and asked me if I would be there advisor I said I'm not Native American I'm Mexican.
They laughed they said they didn't care because they knew I truly love them! I have family that are Native and love them! And truly Mexicans are Native and everything else lol! Anyways we ended up having the biggest club in all the kids wanted to join our club black, Polynesian, Mexican, white, Asian everyone wanted to be in our club! But the uppers didn't like it I guess so they made a club called the international club! But our club was still the best and we worked hard saving enough money to go to gatherings of the nations in Albuquerque, New Mexico! Adam Beach was there and it was probably the biggest highlight those kids and myself was able to see! I took my husband and my son I never realize how many different tribes there were it was amazing! All we kept saying was what a beautiful beautiful people! We had performances come when we had our Native American month we have the best performances and the most attendances up to 500 people 600 people came from around the community to see comedian Drew copo, Apache, comedian Vincent Craig comedian Navajo who I believe passed away God rest his soul! Amazing comedians! We had fancy dancer, rainbow dancers, grass dancers, color guard, crown dancers, Hopi dancers, all kinds natives entertainment!
And the fry bread and Native tacos! Mutton and acorn soup!!! You name it we had it! all I can say is that I was tired of seeing the natives the black kid and polly kids Mexicans, getting treated different. Especially the black kids and the native kids.
I always had all their backs I was tired of people stereo typing them.
I was at a local Walmartwhere I live I saw a police officer with his foot on the back of a detained handcuffed facedown Native American who was drunk I recognized his friend I went up to the officer who was laughing in front of a lot of bystanders who laughing making fun of him because he was drunk! I told the officer are you kidding me he's not going nowhere! Shame on all of you you think this is funny! I told the officer get your damn foot off his back! and he did and I told him pick him up now so I went to go and help the guy get up and another officer recognized me saying I'll help you we picked him up and sat him on the bench and I yelled again at that other officer and said being an alcoholic isn't something you want to be it wasn't like your ancestors didn't take the liquor to the rez and give it to them after killing their buffalo and raping their women and killing their children all4gold so don't ever do this to another Native American in front of me buddy! And the crowd that was there because everybody knows who I am walked away I told them to leave it wasn't a show to see! I will always stick up for what's right no matter what the consequences are! My niece and nephew grandma is Apache and we just love her!
God bless you all stay safe during the Coronavirus take care of the older generation Young Generation your grandparents are very important listen to what they have to say you can learn something about real life God bless you all as read this!
watch police cam footage ..he wasnt murdered
Make America native again
Yeah George was criminal junkie that hurt women. He was not murdered.
This broke my heart. Such beautiful people rich with tradition and culture the white man tried to take away. I hope and pray for everyone of these people that they find hope and love and continue to persevere as they are such strong people.
I owe my life to the pow wow. My heart was so closed off from the world and in the pow wow..my heart started beating again. I cried for once in my life.. very powerful stuff. ❤
What that lady said about people saying "just let it go it happened decades ago" every word she said after that's how blacks feel when people say "let it go,racism is gone,etc" but the effects is still on us today . We feel your pain & stand with you together we are stronger
Autumn Tarpkins. That’s PTSD, it happened some time ago. And for some of us it happens over and over and over again. I had to learn to stop cherishing the pain.
I'm glad they have a skate park. I hope they get more. I know the reservations big. It's the size of my state, Connecticut. I want everyone to be in walking distance of one, and hopefully a charity can keep getting them boards. I know it's not everything, but Skateboarding saved me. Even if you're not any good it does something to you. Something good.

We do need a Native president. We just have to look for a Native that charismatic enough.
If USA quits focusing on the countries outside and start concentrating their inside states, they will be able to understand and solve a lot of problems. How come they have billions and billions of dollars to spend on war but not spend some million to correct the inside society. Hypocrisy, prejudice and racism.
Greed is the enemy
I agree with you. Too much time and money being spent saving the world when the US citizens are sinking in a miasma of racism, drugs and financial problems.
@@marcianobuyama2650 no doubt, greed, jelousy, ego, prejudice these all negative human traits has ruined this country
The US doesn’t consider Natives and so called “African Americans” to be REAL citizens. We are prisoners of war and colonized. FYI, when the Europeans arrived most of the original Natives had very dark skin. Some had straight hair and others had kinky textured hair but we were the same people! The US neglects my people on purpose. Wake up or stay woke.
Because USA is nothing but a slave breeding prison...
Kip is an admirable hero 💪👏 After knowing his native culture and finishing his education, he went back to the reservation to help the younger community.
I am Mexican-American I love the native American people! I pray all the best for them and hope that God gives them all they need to overcome!
keep dancing and praising the Natives believe in spirit and the Heavens 🙏🏽
Thank God for those elders that are helping their youth!! And to see that young boy dance was a joy. Such a natural
Devastatingly, COVID took many of the traditional elders who cared for their grandchildren and great grandchildren:(
Bring this series back.
Kip is an awesome leader👍🏼
I want to help native Americans with all my heart.
So Sad! On their own land living in poverty!!
Every reservation in the US is this way!
These are white 5$ Indians these are not the original! The originals were very dark skin
Aron Toulouse 5$ $5 they are still
White people 😂😂😂
Aron Toulouse you call that help😂😂💀 they are all drunk and high off drugs😂😂💀 the government only used them to take away the identity of the true Americans and once that was done now you can see they are not needed and left to wither away 😂😂
Sherri Solomon these are wh*te ppl that I could care less about they caused all of this bs and now want to cry victim😂😂😂 what a joke you clearly don’t know how karma works!!! These ppl deserve death and deportation
They are ALL a WALKING PRAYER. STRENGTH and empowerment prayers for these precious people.
Such beautiful people. Traditions and history. I pray for growth and development. Healing and blessings for these people. Our Indian ancestors suffered far too great for new generations to suffer worse.
I'm glad (and much relieved) there are elders wise enough to see the path to healing lies in walking the red road & are helping the youth to learn to walk that path. My prayers are with you.
I'm native but I grew up in a different culture. My parents wanted me to grow up white. So I don't know anything about my native tribe because I lived in a all white rich ppl beach town in cali. Sucks I wish I had proof of my native roots so I can live on the rez and build a rehab clinic to help others
You should go for it
You might check with them to see with not having ‘proof.’ You don’t need proof to have roots, it’s in your soul.
#NativeAmericanLivesMatter
If I were president, my number one priority would be to help Native Americans. It's criminal that their needs have been ignored for so long, especially the childrens'. Other minorities are important but Native Lives Matter too.
Such a beautiful, yet troubled, people. We can learn so much from them. I pray their land is healed.
The white man will never understand what we are as tribal people...
Peace & love from a Pacific islander❤
I am a woman, and understand oppression. I have been to a Pacific island. Beautiful, and fulfilling to the soul.
@@stephaniep1761 we maybe frm paradise but this paradise has a dark secret too that many westerners aren't aware of.
@@kira2hot4you37 i know there are secrets...here too.
You are brilliant and so smart. No matter what white man says prove them wrong, I believe in you
@@kira2hot4you37 what island are you from?
Respect to all Native American people. Sending all love from across the world in Asia
Breaks my heart to see my Native people suffer, but also makes me happy how we thrive to hang onto our Native ways in modern society despite what we go through
I'm from Australia and we are having very similar issues here with the Australian Aborigines 😢😢
Beautiful people! I have always want to stop at a reservation and drop off supplies when in South Dakota but when you look on the charity web sites, they say crime is high and outsiders are not really welcome. Not all of us white people are bad and some of us have American Indian blood running through our veins as well, even though we are light skinned and appear white. When my art business takes off more one of my goals is to try to find a way to help these people, they need jobs offered where they live so they can make a income to stop this cycle of poverty. Peaceful, proud people my heart goes out to them, bless them.
Contact the local council, they will be happy to help you determine the best way to assist. You won't be hassled about your presence.
@@pansprayers Thank you so much, will try to contact the local council :)
I went to an indian reservation in Oregon once and i immediately felt the sadness and oppression there. So sad. These people have been through enough and deserve better.
I’m Canadian and I dated a First Nations guy for 5 years. He didn’t grow up on a reserve and neither did his dad. But his mom did so he had a lot of family on a reserve in B.C. Whenever he went to visit his family, he’d always ask that I was at his apartment when he returned. Sometimes he’d see things so heartbreaking that he couldn’t handle being alone. He sometimes needed me to be there to hug him and cheer him up. But some visits were completely happy. He never knew what to expect. We broke up because we were too young to commit our lives to each other but we’re still on good terms. He’s doing great and is a teacher at a school in B.C. that has a high First Nations population, but it’s not on a reserve.
I had the honor and the privilege of spending time in that reservation with those lovely people. My prayers are with all of them.
I’m really hoping you paid every person interviewed for this documentary.
I have been to pow wows they are so beautiful and cathartic. "When that drum beats it's just like your heart beat"
✌❤I have gone to several powwow's also. And, I agree, it brings a peaceful feeling. Powwow is a beautiful experience. I'm grateful for those experiences.🦅
We should care because we are ALL human and God tells us to love thy neighbor! Thank you Lisa , your reports are amazing and hope it touches Americans hearts.
I vow to vote for a native president.. 💯
This is our country's original shame and we still haven't made it right...every Native American child should be entitled to a full scholarship...its the least our government can do
It’s not within budget...
They actually do get free college. If they need a organ transplant they go to the top of the list, paychecks every year from tribe of the tribe has anything that generates money for the tribe. They get special race based scholarships and programs just like blacks do
All Indians enrolled in a tribe also get free healthcare
@@timechangeseverybody3608 this is obviously incorrect
@@timechangeseverybody3608 the bare minimum, not enough.
I have a Lakota friend raised in Pine Ridge, she told me many sad stories of her childhood it broke my heart. She said she would never go back.
It's tragic. The world's children need love and hope and society taking them seriously ❤❤❤

So powerful! America: you have an obligation. Own up to it. Do something good to your own people. Don't hide this from your other people.
They should CLOSED ALL THE LIQUOR STORES.
In therory yes but unfortunately it’s a bad idea they could die from withdrawal...... same reason the didn’t shut down the liquor stores during the lock down
That's stupid they should start giving these people a reason to live for. Prohibiting alcohol has never worked in history.
@@elinikolai7493 And yeeeeet we prohibit opiates for pain patients.
They remained open because the state acquired revenue from the sale of this poison.
But the economy... how are all the people who work in the alcohol trade/industry going to make money?!
😊❤ These shows are over 10 years and that's why they're probably free. Lisa's fantastic work is relatively timeless. I loved this one.
Such beautiful people and beautiful culture.❤
I wish that lady was given a "bail out"... how we not give her money but give it to million dollar companies that keep being late on contracts ect ect
EILEEN IS SO WONDERFUL ! I HOPE SHE HEARS THAT A MILLION TIMES
Big part of the alcoholism is drowning out the pain of losing your land, your culture, your language. Your whole identity...stolen and suppressed by colonisers. It's the same for my people,Māori, from Aotearoa / New Zealand.
The Lakota are so beautiful
Yes they are amazing people. Native American are amazing people.
