I don’t remember the last time a film impacted me this much (movie: Woman Walks Ahead). Here’s the story of chief Sitting Bull and painter Catherine Weldon.
Here is the link to the full movie ($3.99): ruclips.net/video/XdIBoL8zoZ4/видео.html ~ (or watch it for free if you have Amazon Prime - search for “Woman Walks Ahead” 😊) ~ Also, for those asking, the song is called “take me to the depths” by midnight north.

@@jesusofnazareth6254 Name one of those books? Maybe they had class differences but that doesnt change the fact that the poorest man in a tribe was the chief.
@@Isaiflamand Wrong, native americans had a very similar social structure as the aztec (mexica) empire. The aztec (mexica) slavery is considered one of the most cruel ways of slavery. Also if you look the Inca social pyramid, also there was the emeperor, the nobles, the citizens, the soldiers, the poor, abd the slaves who worked for the emperor and the nobles (who also hold the majority of gold and silver) for no money only food and sometimes were sacrificed just like the Mayans and azteca did. It's considered that Cherokees used to do sacrifices too. Other thing is most american tribes used to rape the younger girls in a way to initiate them in the female life. Not all that glitters is gold.
I think Michael Greyeyes could play a mute man and tell a whole story (on screen for two hours) with just his eyes, posture and facial expressions. It is astonishing that his performance in this film was not recognized more by Hollywood. Also, his voice is different depending on the film he is in. I’m not talking about accents but the sound of his voice. Well so much for Hollywood awards.
He was also a professiomal classical ballet dancer. We learn to project our emotion and story telling through eyes, facial expression and body posture, because ballet is a mute art.
I just finished the movie, I am devastated. I can't stop crying. My God what they had to endure breaks my heart. Michael grayeyes performance was impeccable. He was over looked he deserved an Oscar and Jessica to. This movie is one of the best. 👏👏👏👏
In my opinion this film is an insult to the memory of both Caroline (yepp, that was her real name) Weldon and Sitting Bull. He would never have given up on his people and the fight for their rights and their land. And she… I don't even know where to begin describing how utterly degraded this great historical figure has been by this movie. Ironically, just like she was in the press of her time. Anyone who feels touched by this piece of fake History shall find much more to be impressed by in Weldon's biografie "Woman Walking Ahead" by Eileen Pollack, ridiculously cheap as a kindle, and a great, great read.
That's why you never believe in native american side of the story , and make believe. That custer fought to the end..... bullshit. He shot himself in the head. And that's why no warrior took anything from him.......
I'm Native American myself but I belong to the Navajo tribe, to all my fellow relatives both in America and Canada, highest love to you all. Seeing Sitting Bull in this film is the most definitive version of him. An amazing job potraying one of my people's greatest warrors.. it's hard to watch it because of his tragic ending...

@@Weirdkauz its mostly accurate, the ending is not and yes, sitting bull would never give up on his people, but this is a nice story, like braveheart. if you can get passed that, it is an nice take for hollywood, i'm just happy to see a mainstream movie about natives in a good light.
The greatest stain on the honor of the United States is what they did to the Native American community. I hope the Native American people thrive and keep their beautiful culture away from greedy hands. I’m so sorry that we all lost so much of it already.
Agree, but the people in those days are gone. It's up to us here now to have peace with each other. Learn from history! Had good and bad on both sides. Do not blame all Europeans,
DashMLGNO you should learn more about history and life. I’m Native American but I’m not angry with you. You just don’t know. That’s okay. It’s okay if you decide to educate yourself or not.
For all those watching this video and respect the Native American people. There is an organization called One Nation Walking Together. They dedicate themselves to helping those still living on the reservations. Just wanted to put that out there in case any one wants to research in to how to help ❤️❤️❤️
@@gerica82 there is so much good in this world too though. I have to hold that belief in my heart. Mr Rogers mother used to tell him, when something bad happens, instead of looking for the ones doing wrong, look for the helpers, looks for those trying to do good. Thinking of that always helps me. ❤️ I do hope your struggles are few and far between ❤️ I hope you can find peace and health in this new year. Stay safe kind soul ❤️
@@masuganut2082 thanks for kind words. I struggle everyday with prejudices in my society . I'm some kind of Don Quixote, everlasting fight with windmills. Many injustices will never be corrected, one of them is what West "civilization" did to American Natives and Aboriginals. Many thanks to lady director of this great movie as well to actors. This is definitely my favourite picture. Love Jessica and Michael. Good bless them. And you , my friend. ❤️
@@gerica82 I’m so sorry for what you’re dealing with. But please remember, well it’s what I believe, everything has a purpose. Even the bad. Even though sometimes that’s a very hard thing to try and accept or believe. We may not understand but everything that has happened in our lives has shaped us. A quote I love is “life is 1% what happens to you and 99% percent how you react to it” You so clearly have a kind and strong heart. So it’s obvious that you have not let the injustices in your own life negatively change your heart. That shows such an immense amount of strength and you should be so proud of yourself for that. My favorite comedienne said in her one book in which she tries to help others to look on the brighter side of life....” the world needs a YOU in it”.... you were born exactly when you were supposed to be born, you have a purpose on this earth. Everyone is important and just by being yourself, whatever that may look like, is so integral. You have such worth and your potential may seem unimaginable in your present situation but I can promise you, with my whole heart, I know for a fact that your soul is ABSOLUTELY limitless. I hope you are able to break away from the injustices and find true happiness. Bless you Kind Soul and thank you for your kindness ❤️
"You have big feet for a woman," "You have small feet for a man," 😂😂😂😂😂 "Who did this to you?" "The whole town," "I would've taken 100 warriors and finished that whole town," 😢 I have to admit, I haven't seen this movie and that part made me tear up.
@Tia Rae J Scares Hawk I am not surprised, I have always been drawn to leaning about native culture. I have so much respect for it and want to learn more. It may seem a silly question, but do you have suggestions for where and how I can learn more about the culture? Thank you!
@@AlwaysCrazyKindaLazy okay I know tiktok is not an academic source by any means but if you want to learn about native culture in an informal way you can look at the native hashtag or the indigenous hashtag. You can learn some native inside jokes through them (like the TikTok of the native guy who described where he lived to a cop)
@Tia Rae J Scares Hawk I wish my ex thought the same way. Life sucks I am pregnant with his child yet he cheated on me and used to tell me that I am fat and no one will want me I'm hoping I will find the right one one day I still have scars and I'm honestly scared of what's going to happen next.
@@chelsealipford5969 Chelsea. I am a man. A man in full, and my heart hurts for you. I can feel your pain, as well as your beautiful heart. I am not looking for an intimate relationship ... but, I have a reputation as a very good friend, and I offer my friendship to you. In a position in life in which .. I, too am very lonely. Lonely for a friend. If you were to message me back, perhaps we could be of mutual beneficence to each other. This world is trying to eliminate people having positive, affirming and relationships born from the heart. I'm willing to prove them wrong. How would you like to be friends? God bless you, dear. Hope to hear from you. 😎
What a wonderful movie. This movie should have won an Oscar, and other awards I'm so disappointed in the industry. Movies that are deserving never get the credit they deserve. Superb acting, from Jessica, and Michael. Omg still crying

This film was absolutely beautiful because it portrayed a chosen forgotten piece of history, a friendship between two people of such vastly different worlds, who respected each other deeply. I definitely want to study the real woman, and Sitting Bull, more.

Every once in a while, I encounter a movie that is so sad, yet so beautiful that I am unable to watch it. I fear this is such a movie. it is more than my heart can contain.
This is a true love story. Beyond the prejudices that are set by mankind. The heart knows no such boundries. It will love as it pleases. No care given to the cost. That is a burden for the mind. Not the heart.
I agree. I haven't seen this movie, but I so want to. As I was watching this clip, I decided I will not be able to watch the end. I'm already moved to tears watching this clip. Beautiful, yet heartbreaking. My heart cannot bear to see the ending.
There land was stolen from them. So sad, we could of learned so much from them. And the ignorance and hatred is still here today. They are strong beautiful people. Their stories need to be told.
I agree. There is an organization called One Nation Walking Together. They dedicate themselves to helping those still living on the reservations. I receive their newsletters and am determined to help. Perhaps you would like to look into them yourself. ❤️
@Carol Gaskill: The Black Hills of South Dakota had been inhabited by American Indians for almost 10,000 years. The Arikara arrived about 1,500 A.D., followed by the Cheyenne, Crow, Kiowa, and Pawnee. The Lakota Sioux came from the Great Lakes area with superior weapons, superior number of warriors, and drove the original inhabitants off the land by force. The Lakota stole their Sacred Black Hills which was common practice between Indian tribes/nations thousands of years BEFORE European settlers ever set foot in North America.
As a descent of the Taino Natives ...my heart cried when the horse was dancing...cause I knew ... Chief was gone. I feel truly blessed to be American and also of Native blood. May God bless him and her wherever they are God's good heaven ...🙏✝️💜🎣🏹🇵🇷🇺🇸
I'd like to think that the same thing happened for my great grandmother and my or my great grandmother and my great grandfather who are separate who were separated because she was mohican and he was Irish. And their children were sold to an adoption house Because how dare they look quite
Beautiful, heartbreaking movie 😪🥰 Michael Greyeyes is stunning as Sitting Bull, and people who says he can be in a mute movie are right, he deserve it, he is a good actor. He is charismatic, he tells so much things with his eyes. He is naturally gracious in a way only natives can be. He is iconic, as a native actor 🤩

Chief Sitting Bull was such a remarkable man who had so much of wisdom. I’d have been so honoured to hear him speak, meet him and learn from him. Michael Greyeyes did an absolutely outstanding job in portraying Chief Sitting Bull, he’s a truly exceptionally gifted and talented actor and artist. Native American and First Nation people are the most genuine and wonderful people. My prayers will always accompany them.

Very touching story. It’s awesome Sitting Bull and so many First Nation people maintained their dignity in spite of despicable oppression by European settlers.
@@patriciagraham2287 Yeah, tragic. But there are still wise old First Nation people left if you go to the West. I met a few of them. One of them told me we are all Natives. He said regardless of where we are from, race, culture, we are all natives of Mother Earth. Profound and yet so simple in his teaching. Too bad we don’t treat one another this way.
@@ArizonaAirspace I've just come across this story, I haven't seen the movie but I will track it down. I am crying already! It is very tragic how some people are treated. The graves of innocent children in Canada - goodness me! The sorrow and the loss of those precious children we will never truly know. My heart goes out them. R.I.P. Sad to know about the priests and nuns involvement. Jesus said. "Love thy neighbour as thyself" - we haven't learned much sadly! There is always hope though! They had an amazing love for Mother Earth, sad to see the destruction and the rubbish now - we must improve!
@@patriciagraham2287 Well said Patricia. I, for one, lament that mankind have never learned to “love one another as I have loved you” teachings of Jesus. As long as there are few of us left who believe in justice and righteousness for all, there’s still hope. Recent events throughout this world are signs for us to wake up and evaluate what our priorities in life are. It’s not about how long we live or how much material possessions we accumulate during our lives. Life is a learning cycle and at the end of our lives, I believe it will be all about how much we have truly loved during our lives and how courageously we fought for justice and against evil. God bless. Greetings from USA, have a lovely day. 🌹
I watched this again and noticed the subtle facial emotions from Michael Greyeyes. You could tell what he was thinking by looking at his face. When they were embracing he knew they could never be together. It was sad.
I think he know they were going to kill him. That is why he told her to get the wood so she would not be there. That is what I think I might have gotten it all wrong.
Can I grieve with you? I don't have any Native American blood in me, but I have a soft spot for them; I also get hurt when I read a book or watch a movie about how their freedom and lives were taken from them.
I read somewhere that millions of Native American people (tribes) used to live & roam all over the US before foreign explorers reached the continent around the 16th century. It’s devastating to think that we missed out on so much history, culture, friendship, and wisdom by murdering such extraordinary native people. Life would have been so much better than it is now and we could have learned so much instead of spilling blood. One of my great grandmothers was full Cherokee and she was told to change her name because it was shameful back then; I often wonder what she could have taught me.
I do have native blood and I have spent a lot of time in South Dakota on the rez. But let's not glorify these cultures like they never made mistakes, like they weren't people too. Some tribes were cannibals, some tribes especially in South America, sacrificed children and people, these tribes fought against and conquered each other, murdered each other and stole children from each other just like all civilizations before them. there is a bit of glory about the beauty of the plains and I just love it out there. it breaks my heart to see a proud people living in a third world country on the rez, but we do have to accept that they were just people too. this stuff about the environment and how they cared for it; when you're that small a group of people, when you don't have that many people living in your group and you have all this land, you are going to make less of an impact, especially since they had no machines. And believe me, they wanted the iron from the whites and the guns. my point being, accept people for what they are and don't make them better than they are or worse than they are. My friend always told me that Native People had a bad immigration policy. (Sort of like today.)
@@slidenapps every culture practices cannibalism and warred their neighbour's over boundaries etc and everything you mention - all of our cultures and colors - it doesn't hurt to wish things went a better way and focus on the fact that all our peoples, and cultures were more connected to the lands and earth - prior to being concored by the christians
My great grandmother was also Cherokee..I also wondered what I may have learned from her... In the Jim Crow South it was against the law for people of different races to marry...I hear family stories without a y mention of her..
Explorers? are u serious ........the foreign occupiers ......Explorers go back home. its happening now as well but we choose to turn a blind eye ........lets not kid our selfs .....
@@paiman1969 Then every people all over the globe are nothing but occupiers. There isn’t a square inch of land that hasn’t been fought over for resources, safety features, water rights, etc, and on every continent. Our forefathers were adventurers, explorers and conquerors and weren’t one bit apologetic for it: winning just meant you and your tribe weren’t the ones being eliminated, disenfranchised, or sold into slavery - at least not that day.
I'm seventh generation native. And it still stings that the indigenous people of the United states are treated this way. While the percentage of my native blood is small I am still proud to even hold a single drop of the powerful and spiritual people the Native American Indians were and are. Keep strong all of you.
Sitting Bull showed to her a brutal world full of purity, of beauty, but too full of pain about the lost of his own people with the white men, and because of that their bond was stronger everytime. Catherine Weldon offered to her the possibility of actually being heard & respected. The understanding of his legacy was the object of her main seek of knowledge. For that their relationship is the story of an apprenticeship, a friendships and finally a romance, because two human beings who were meant to be done, just found each other in middle of their own loneliness. The historical Sitting Bull asker her hand in marriage, and even he had a wife named "Light Hair", so seems that Catherine Weldon had been his destiny even years before. All is a kind of magic and destiny, i just love this video and what they represent together. Frienship, respect, dignity, beauty, peace, equality, love.
I have never seen this film. I couldn't watch this film because I won't stop crying. Love and respect to all the native Americans and the people that passed on. Stand proud and keep your rich culture alive. I live a simple life just like the past native Americans. If I can't help people, my life would empty.
Michael Greyeyes was a good choice for Sitting Bull,Zahn Mcclarnon would have been good too,he is a Hunkpapa Lakota, an actual decendant of Sitting Bulls tribe!He is short like the real Sitting Bull.He was born & is from Standing Rock Rez!
Make your visit soon if you're interested in the landscape us heathens are destroying it at an amazingly rapid rate! This last oil boom really wreak havoc. If you're interested in the culture of the Lakota Sioux They've done a great job of keeping it alive in the states of North Dakota and South Dakota they have a university in Bismarck if you're interested in looking into that?
Yes. One of my friends was a Crow traditional dancer. His moves at pow-wow were awesome and he was so handsome. He had been in the US Marine Corp and had incorporated his dress trouser stripe in his back apron. Our Native people are the highest percentage of non-Whites represented in the US armed forces. I just heard that on PBS two nights ago.
@Kyril J Only your last statement is true and you can blame the casinos for that. 18.6% Native Americans served in the post-9/11 period in a higher percentage than veterans of other ethnicities, 18.6 percent vs. 14 percent, respectively. Figures from the DOD. americanindian.si.edu/nnavm/heroes/

I don't have any Native American blood in me, but I have a soft spot for them. I love how they are in tune with nature, and l hate how their freedom was taken from them.
Pascha Eagle Tail Well Said. I agree 💯 with you. I do have Native American Blood in my Family History. I'm Proud to be a Half Breed. Love the real Comments ❤️ from the Ancestors. So Sad. It's still not right and never will be.
I dont have any native blood in me...very far from it. I am and always have been drawn to native ways tbough. When I was younger I had vivid dreams of a Elder in a headdress, id be screaming at him to help me but he'd just stand there staring at me silently ?
I don't remember how much I played this clip.. This movie also impacted in my heart so much and suddenly I fall in love with Michael Greyeyes. I watched Stolen Woman, Captured Heart also and gosh..I love him even more...

I haven't seen this movie, but as I was watching this clip I decided I will not be able to watch the end. Michael Greyeyes is an amazing actor- such depth. But, I'm already moved to tears just watching this clip. Beautiful story, but my heart cannot bear the ending.
This is one of the best movies I have ever seen about the genocide perpetrated on the native peoples of North America. So beautifully made and so heartbreakingly sad. The acting is superb, the mis en scene outstanding. Shame it has not had more exposure.

She's an artist w/ guts, something I admire very much. I paint portraiture & ❤ to paint subjects w/ secrets, meaning & redemption. This would be a worthy painting⚘
@@colindaniels1156 I didn't say anything about what the "White Girl" paints. What are you judging? You are entitled to your opinion, but that's all it is. Fact: I said this would be a worthy painting; referring to me painting Michael Greyeyes (Sitting Bull in the movie because I do portraiture) lol. The movie has 2 heros, and as a strong women I paint as I like. Why do you assume I meant "The White Girl" as you put it? What's wrong with the "White girl?" How do you find it worthy to discredit the woman? She would be a worthy painting too. Color doesn't matter, matter. Maybe it's because someone hurt you & for that I am sorry, but it wasn't me. The authors's heading says: Comment on "The Story of Catherine Weldon and Sitting Bull." That is exactly what I did. In the story Catherine painted Sitting Bull & he painted his life. Catherine was an ally to him. I don't hate you. So why the hate, that's exactly what fueled these killings. I'm an artist & wanted to do an oil painting of Sitting Bull because I found him worthy. ✌
An outstanding film. It doesn't need to win an award, to justify the history and craftsmanship of the file, story and actors. I live on the opposite side to the US and appreciated this film, for the history, authenticity, and most of all, beautiful heart warming love story.

My first time seeing about this film in scammed clips, and I'm already crying. I have trouble letting go of films that are hauntingly beautiful and sad af. I want to watch this full movie.
this is the most touching moving movie i have ever seen...besides loving michael greyeyes performance...everything he does he does well... i can watch it a 100 times more
videos like this always break my heart. i am lakota sioux. the most tragic but proudest part of myself. my heart breaks for my brothers and sisters in every tribe who survived these times and the systematic destruction / genocide we are going through currently. people tend to forget about us. media blacks us out. we only have each other so spread love. i was lucky enough to leave ogalala at 5 years old and grew up with successful parents in california. few of us are able to make it out with our governments oppression. rooting for you all.
I've only recently discovered this film! Stunningly beautiful and completely heartbreaking. I've always been interested in Native American history and horses. This video is perfect, I love the chosen clips and the lovely music. Thank you from England x
The one made this video is an artist. cause he/she was able to take a masterpice and turn it into another masterpiece. I don't like to watch movies with sad endings, but I feel like I will miss out a life lesson if I won't. Thank you
I’m incredibly grateful I stumbled upon this video. I immediately went to Amazon to buy and watch it and scarcely blinked throughout it for fear of missing anything. Beautiful story about a truly beautiful people that didn’t deserve the treatment they received. And Michael Greyeyes... my goodness.
The beauty of Michael Greyeyes is he plays who he is. He blessed and gifted. The first time I saw him I had woke up in the middle of the night and then he did that 8 seconds dance , wow!
@@pamelabustos8693 I think they made him look a little older for this part, because in the interviews he's given about this movie he looks younger. Either way, he is still a work of art. He is much older than me, but this young little 'ol white girl thinks he is the most beautiful man she's ever seen.
Thank you. I was “clicking”around RUclips and came across the video, read the comments and then rented the movie. WOW... I don’t have words that would do justice to the emotions right now.

The film's cast list shows Jessica Chastain's character as Catherine Weldon; a slight change from the real woman upon whom the character is based, Caroline Weldon (a common thing for based-upon films). This is a fascinating piece of history. Sadly, even the A-list actors who appeared in this film (and I include Michael Greyeyes in that list) couldn't get it nominated for any awards (afaik). Was it a for-the-love project for those involved? Did it not get noticed due to the glut of other films in 2018? Did its subject cause it to get less notice? Hard to say. Perhaps all those things had some influence, as well as other factors. It's a damn shame. Based on what I've seen of it so far, it looks like a well-crafted film with high-caliber performances.
Norther56 I agree. Woman Walks Ahead deserves much more recognition! It’s a breathtaking film with incredible acting. But at least we found this treasure; perhaps sooner or later the rest of the world will catch up! :)
Maybe because it had a British female director and the movie wasn't kind to the Army and the whites. The acting was wonderful and scenery glorious. Every actor played their part expertly. Wonderful movie, I had to buy the DVD
Strong beautiful mature and free men, able to care, protect, educate and share, and feel a wide range of emotions. What a life and time it was. This video does look sad, but not more than the history behind it. Support to all who still keep that culture.

This is such a sad and beautiful story...racism is the worst. Both Sitting Bull and Catherine Weldon deserved to be together long term. Of course times were way worse back then for minorities and women who thought for themselves.
I know this is going to be a painful yet beautiful movie so I was hesitating on watching it. Took me days after I watched this clip before deciding to watch it today. Now my eyes are swollen. It such a wonderful movie. I really hope that the government will give more rights, opportunities, lands, and respect to the natives. They deserve it from the very beginning and they deserve more.
I was crying since 1/3 of the video. I'm so sad that the whole culture, so many tribes got destroyed like this 💔 and the worst is the mixed couples, people that are different in some way are still being attacked for it and there are still racist, misogynist, stupid people who believe they are better just because their skin is white 💔
I am a white woman and my heart breaks for what my ancestors did. My life and my heart doesn't reflect on their deeds. My heart and my life see no color. I see beauty in every culture and race.
In my opinion this film is an insult to the memory of both Caroline (yepp, that was her real name) Weldon and Sitting Bull. He would never have given up on his people and the fight for their rights and their land.

Another line that I really like in the movie: *"Your society values you with how much you have. We value people by how much they give away."*
I love that line!!
It's true, native mantra 🏹
That's bullshit still. You have hundreds of books about native americans having class differences, economic differences of course.
@@jesusofnazareth6254 Name one of those books? Maybe they had class differences but that doesnt change the fact that the poorest man in a tribe was the chief.
@@Isaiflamand Wrong, native americans had a very similar social structure as the aztec (mexica) empire.
The aztec (mexica) slavery is considered one of the most cruel ways of slavery.
Also if you look the Inca social pyramid, also there was the emeperor, the nobles, the citizens, the soldiers, the poor, abd the slaves who worked for the emperor and the nobles (who also hold the majority of gold and silver) for no money only food and sometimes were sacrificed just like the Mayans and azteca did.
It's considered that Cherokees used to do sacrifices too. Other thing is most american tribes used to rape the younger girls in a way to initiate them in the female life.
Not all that glitters is gold.
I think Michael Greyeyes could play a mute man and tell a whole story (on screen for two hours) with just his eyes, posture and facial expressions. It is astonishing that his performance in this film was not recognized more by Hollywood. Also, his voice is different depending on the film he is in. I’m not talking about accents but the sound of his voice. Well so much for Hollywood awards.
Hollywood is owned by China. This was far too decent of a movie to get recognized.
He was also a professiomal classical ballet dancer. We learn to project our emotion and story telling through eyes, facial expression and body posture, because ballet is a mute art.
Totally agree.
I Do agree he is just great and talented
That's for sure.
I just finished the movie, I am devastated. I can't stop crying. My God what they had to endure breaks my heart. Michael grayeyes performance was impeccable. He was over looked he deserved an Oscar and Jessica to. This movie is one of the best. 👏👏👏👏

Where is this movie. I have to watch it??
That's why you never believe in native american side of the story , and make believe. That custer fought to the end..... bullshit. He shot himself in the head. And that's why no warrior took anything from him.......
I'm Native American myself but I belong to the Navajo tribe, to all my fellow relatives both in America and Canada, highest love to you all. Seeing Sitting Bull in this film is the most definitive version of him. An amazing job potraying one of my people's greatest warrors.. it's hard to watch it because of his tragic ending...

@@Weirdkauz its mostly accurate, the ending is not and yes, sitting bull would never give up on his people, but this is a nice story, like braveheart. if you can get passed that, it is an nice take for hollywood, i'm just happy to see a mainstream movie about natives in a good light.
The greatest stain on the honor of the United States is what they did to the Native American community. I hope the Native American people thrive and keep their beautiful culture away from greedy hands. I’m so sorry that we all lost so much of it already.
Greed is a terrible thing Indians were minding their own business answers the white man I hope they can forgive
Imperfections don't ruin anything. It's the absence of action to achieve perfection that does.
Agree, but the people in those days are gone. It's up to us here now to have peace with each other.
Learn from history!
Had good and bad on both sides.
Do not blame all Europeans,
Where I live the Pauite culture is alive and well and they are well respected.
DashMLGNO you should learn more about history and life. I’m Native American but I’m not angry with you. You just don’t know. That’s okay. It’s okay if you decide to educate yourself or not.
For all those watching this video and respect the Native American people. There is an organization called One Nation Walking Together. They dedicate themselves to helping those still living on the reservations.
Just wanted to put that out there in case any one wants to research in to how to help ❤️❤️❤️
I live on different continent. But I see Your troubles. And have a few of my own. Life is constant battle with injustice (s) .
@@gerica82 there is so much good in this world too though. I have to hold that belief in my heart.
Mr Rogers mother used to tell him, when something bad happens, instead of looking for the ones doing wrong, look for the helpers, looks for those trying to do good. Thinking of that always helps me. ❤️
I do hope your struggles are few and far between ❤️ I hope you can find peace and health in this new year.
Stay safe kind soul ❤️
@@masuganut2082 thanks for kind words. I struggle everyday with prejudices in my society . I'm some kind of Don Quixote, everlasting fight with windmills. Many injustices will never be corrected, one of them is what West "civilization" did to American Natives and Aboriginals. Many thanks to lady director of this great movie as well to actors. This is definitely my favourite picture. Love Jessica and Michael. Good bless them. And you , my friend. ❤️
@@gerica82 I’m so sorry for what you’re dealing with. But please remember, well it’s what I believe, everything has a purpose. Even the bad. Even though sometimes that’s a very hard thing to try and accept or believe. We may not understand but everything that has happened in our lives has shaped us. A quote I love is “life is 1% what happens to you and 99% percent how you react to it”
You so clearly have a kind and strong heart. So it’s obvious that you have not let the injustices in your own life negatively change your heart. That shows such an immense amount of strength and you should be so proud of yourself for that.
My favorite comedienne said in her one book in which she tries to help others to look on the brighter side of life....” the world needs a YOU in it”.... you were born exactly when you were supposed to be born, you have a purpose on this earth. Everyone is important and just by being yourself, whatever that may look like, is so integral. You have such worth and your potential may seem unimaginable in your present situation but I can promise you, with my whole heart, I know for a fact that your soul is ABSOLUTELY limitless.
I hope you are able to break away from the injustices and find true happiness.
Bless you Kind Soul and thank you for your kindness ❤️
I would give my life to make amends of my forefathers.

Me too..this was my favorite line. Not many men out there that I've found that have conviction of their words anymore. He meant that. Superb acting.
@Tia Rae J Scares Hawk I am not surprised, I have always been drawn to leaning about native culture. I have so much respect for it and want to learn more. It may seem a silly question, but do you have suggestions for where and how I can learn more about the culture? Thank you!
@@AlwaysCrazyKindaLazy okay I know tiktok is not an academic source by any means but if you want to learn about native culture in an informal way you can look at the native hashtag or the indigenous hashtag. You can learn some native inside jokes through them (like the TikTok of the native guy who described where he lived to a cop)
@Tia Rae J Scares Hawk I wish my ex thought the same way. Life sucks I am pregnant with his child yet he cheated on me and used to tell me that I am fat and no one will want me I'm hoping I will find the right one one day I still have scars and I'm honestly scared of what's going to happen next.
@@chelsealipford5969 Chelsea. I am a man. A man in full, and my heart hurts for you. I can feel your pain, as well as your beautiful heart.

This film was absolutely beautiful because it portrayed a chosen forgotten piece of history, a friendship between two people of such vastly different worlds, who respected each other deeply. I definitely want to study the real woman, and Sitting Bull, more.

Every once in a while, I encounter a movie that is so sad, yet so beautiful that I am unable to watch it.
I fear this is such a movie. it is more than my heart can contain.
Edward Hanson it is, indeed, one of those movies. It’s beautiful, moving, and painful to tears.
Same thing happens to me.
This is a true love story. Beyond the prejudices that are set by mankind. The heart knows no such boundries. It will love as it pleases. No care given to the cost. That is a burden for the mind. Not the heart.
I was thinking the same thing 💖
I agree. I haven't seen this movie, but I so want to. As I was watching this clip, I decided I will not be able to watch the end. I'm already moved to tears watching this clip. Beautiful, yet heartbreaking. My heart cannot bear to see the ending.
The tension was so good. The chemistry. The acting! Wtf Hollywood?! This deserved more attention.
He'll be a hundred and still be gorgeous
Oh yeah
Most certainly some people have it some people he definitely does
Yes he certainly will.
Beautiful Michael Greyeyes!
Not only that, but he has the acting skill to back it up.
There land was stolen from them. So sad, we could of learned so much from them. And the ignorance and hatred is still here today. They are strong beautiful people. Their stories need to be told.
I agree
I agree. There is an organization called One Nation Walking Together. They dedicate themselves to helping those still living on the reservations. I receive their newsletters and am determined to help. Perhaps you would like to look into them yourself. ❤️
@Carol Gaskill: The Black Hills of South Dakota had been inhabited by American Indians for almost 10,000 years. The Arikara arrived about 1,500 A.D., followed by the Cheyenne, Crow, Kiowa, and Pawnee. The Lakota Sioux came from the Great Lakes area with superior weapons, superior number of warriors, and drove the original inhabitants off the land by force. The Lakota stole their Sacred Black Hills which was common practice between Indian tribes/nations thousands of years BEFORE European settlers ever set foot in North America.
'HAVE' not 'OF' 😊
When I travel. I go to a casino that is native American own. I gamble. Only time I care to do it. My way of giving something back
As a descent of the Taino Natives ...my heart cried when the horse was dancing...cause I knew ... Chief was gone. I feel truly blessed to be American and also of Native blood. May God bless him and her wherever they are God's good heaven ...🙏✝️💜🎣🏹🇵🇷🇺🇸
God bless all persecuted people's. All will be healed when Jesus returns.
I cried during that scene😢
They met again on the other side where there is no prejudice or hate only love and peace.❤🌈
Did they shoot the white horse too?
I'd like to think that the same thing happened for my great grandmother and my or my great grandmother and my great grandfather who are separate who were separated because she was mohican and he was Irish. And their children were sold to an adoption house Because how dare they look quite
Beautiful, heartbreaking movie 😪🥰 Michael Greyeyes is stunning as Sitting Bull, and people who says he can be in a mute movie are right, he deserve it, he is a good actor. He is charismatic, he tells so much things with his eyes. He is naturally gracious in a way only natives can be. He is iconic, as a native actor 🤩

Chief Sitting Bull was such a remarkable man who had so much of wisdom. I’d have been so honoured to hear him speak, meet him and learn from him. Michael Greyeyes did an absolutely outstanding job in portraying Chief Sitting Bull, he’s a truly exceptionally gifted and talented actor and artist. Native American and First Nation people are the most genuine and wonderful people. My prayers will always accompany them.
I agree with you. Chief Sitting Bull was a legend.

The look on his face was so funny when she said she wasn't upset being a widow.
@@chaist94 What a weird chip on your shoulder you've got. Sad.
Very touching story. It’s awesome Sitting Bull and so many First Nation people maintained their dignity in spite of despicable oppression by European settlers.
It makes me extremely sad about how "THE FIRST AMERICANS" were treated in their country.
They had So much wisdom that we could learn from. Sad. Sad.
@@patriciagraham2287 Yeah, tragic. But there are still wise old First Nation people left if you go to the West. I met a few of them. One of them told me we are all Natives. He said regardless of where we are from, race, culture, we are all natives of Mother Earth. Profound and yet so simple in his teaching. Too bad we don’t treat one another this way.
@@ArizonaAirspace I've just come across this story, I haven't seen the movie but I will track it down. I am crying already! It is very tragic how some people are treated. The graves of innocent children in Canada - goodness me! The sorrow and the loss of those precious children we will never truly know. My heart goes out them. R.I.P. Sad to know about the priests and nuns involvement. Jesus said. "Love thy neighbour as thyself" - we haven't learned much sadly! There is always hope though! They had an amazing love for Mother Earth, sad to see the destruction and the rubbish now - we must improve!
@@patriciagraham2287 Well said Patricia. I, for one, lament that mankind have never learned to “love one another as I have loved you” teachings of Jesus. As long as there are few of us left who believe in justice and righteousness for all, there’s still hope. Recent events throughout this world are signs for us to wake up and evaluate what our priorities in life are. It’s not about how long we live or how much material possessions we accumulate during our lives. Life is a learning cycle and at the end of our lives, I believe it will be all about how much we have truly loved during our lives and how courageously we fought for justice and against evil. God bless. Greetings from USA, have a lovely day. 🌹
when an injustice happens to a group of humans it effects everyone as a whole.
Nahh im ok with it
They're is not a group on the planet that hasn't had injustice happen. So we're all in the same boat.
That's because we are ALL one just individually different.
@@jenster29 'there is'. 'they're' means ' they are.'
When we harm others, we also inflict damage on ourselves whether we acknowledge it or not.
I watched this again and noticed the subtle facial emotions from Michael Greyeyes. You could tell what he was thinking by looking at his face. When they were embracing he knew they could never be together. It was sad.
awwwww
Very very sad did a lot of that to Indian then it was so taboo but if you look at history their marriages lasted
So very sad
I think he know they were going to kill him. That is why he told her to get the wood so she would not be there. That is what I think I might have gotten it all wrong.
Yes it was
My ancestor Taino tribe I grieve for all 500 nations of Native American tribes.
Can I grieve with you? I don't have any Native American blood in me, but I have a soft spot for them; I also get hurt when I read a book or watch a movie about how their freedom and lives were taken from them.
Luckiest victims in history
@Chief Tahchawwickah I stand to be.corrected every day one learns something ☺
Likewise sister... #taino #islandarawak
Anybody with feelings should
I read somewhere that millions of Native American people (tribes) used to live & roam all over the US before foreign explorers reached the continent around the 16th century. It’s devastating to think that we missed out on so much history, culture, friendship, and wisdom by murdering such extraordinary native people. Life would have been so much better than it is now and we could have learned so much instead of spilling blood. One of my great grandmothers was full Cherokee and she was told to change her name because it was shameful back then; I often wonder what she could have taught me.
I do have native blood and I have spent a lot of time in South Dakota on the rez. But let's not glorify these cultures like they never made mistakes, like they weren't people too. Some tribes were cannibals, some tribes especially in South America, sacrificed children and people, these tribes fought against and conquered each other, murdered each other and stole children from each other just like all civilizations before them. there is a bit of glory about the beauty of the plains and I just love it out there. it breaks my heart to see a proud people living in a third world country on the rez, but we do have to accept that they were just people too. this stuff about the environment and how they cared for it; when you're that small a group of people, when you don't have that many people living in your group and you have all this land, you are going to make less of an impact, especially since they had no machines. And believe me, they wanted the iron from the whites and the guns. my point being, accept people for what they are and don't make them better than they are or worse than they are. My friend always told me that Native People had a bad immigration policy. (Sort of like today.)
@@slidenapps every culture practices cannibalism and warred their neighbour's over boundaries etc and everything you mention - all of our cultures and colors - it doesn't hurt to wish things went a better way and focus on the fact that all our peoples, and cultures were more connected to the lands and earth - prior to being concored by the christians
My great grandmother was also Cherokee..I also wondered what I may have learned from her...
In the Jim Crow South it was against the law for people of different races to marry...I hear family stories without a y mention of her..
Explorers? are u serious ........the foreign occupiers ......Explorers go back home. its happening now as well but we choose to turn a blind eye ........lets not kid our selfs .....
@@paiman1969 Then every people all over the globe are nothing but occupiers. There isn’t a square inch of land that hasn’t been fought over for resources, safety features, water rights, etc, and on every continent. Our forefathers were adventurers, explorers and conquerors and weren’t one bit apologetic for it: winning just meant you and your tribe weren’t the ones being eliminated, disenfranchised, or sold into slavery - at least not that day.
"You don't walk ahead of a Chief" ..
I'm seventh generation native. And it still stings that the indigenous people of the United states are treated this way. While the percentage of my native blood is small I am still proud to even hold a single drop of the powerful and spiritual people the Native American Indians were and are. Keep strong all of you.
I honestly don't think I can watch the movie. This trailer left me in tears.
Sitting Bull showed to her a brutal world full of purity, of beauty, but too full of pain about the lost of his own people with the white men, and because of that their bond was stronger everytime.
Catherine Weldon offered to her the possibility of actually being heard & respected. The understanding of his legacy was the object of her main seek of knowledge. For that their relationship is the story of an apprenticeship, a friendships and finally a romance, because two human beings who were meant to be done, just found each other in middle of their own loneliness.
The historical Sitting Bull asker her hand in marriage, and even he had a wife named "Light Hair", so seems that Catherine Weldon had been his destiny even years before. All is a kind of magic and destiny, i just love this video and what they represent together. Frienship, respect, dignity, beauty, peace, equality, love.
I have never seen this film. I couldn't watch this film because I won't stop crying. Love and respect to all the native Americans and the people that passed on. Stand proud and keep your rich culture alive. I live a simple life just like the past native Americans. If I can't help people, my life would empty.
One of the best Catherine/Sitting Bull videos I've watched so far. The music didn't drown out the dialogue and you can see they're developing bond.
They're clothes are beautifull when he was in his original clothing it was one of the most beautifull things I've seen

Make your visit soon if you're interested in the landscape us heathens are destroying it at an amazingly rapid rate! This last oil boom really wreak havoc.

Hekateria Brookes It’s a beautiful place to see for sure
Is this a true story? I thought it was a great movie
Some of the most handsome men I have ever seen were a group of young native Indian men in northern Alberta ..
So true.
Yes. One of my friends was a Crow traditional dancer. His moves at pow-wow were awesome and he was so handsome. He had been in the US Marine Corp and had incorporated his dress trouser stripe in his back apron. Our Native people are the highest percentage of non-Whites represented in the US armed forces. I just heard that on PBS two nights ago.
@Kyril J Only your last statement is true and you can blame the casinos for that. 18.6%
Native Americans served in the post-9/11 period in a higher percentage than veterans of other ethnicities, 18.6 percent vs. 14 percent, respectively. Figures from the DOD. americanindian.si.edu/nnavm/heroes/

Sitting Bull had some smooth moves.
This is one of the best movies I have ever seen about the genocide perpetrated on the native peoples of North America. So beautifully made and so heartbreakingly sad. The acting is superb, the mis en scene outstanding. Shame it has not had more exposure.
In my opinion this film is an insult to the memory of both Caroline (yepp, that was her real name) Weldon and Sitting Bull. He would never have given up on his people and the fight for their rights and their land. And she… I don't even know where to begin describing how utterly degraded this great historical figure has been by this movie. Ironically, just like she was in the press of her time.
Anyone who feels touched by this piece of fake History shall find much more to be impressed by in Weldon's biografie "Woman Walking Ahead" by Eileen Pollack, ridiculously cheap as a kindle, and a great, great read.
This movie is so beautiful and unique. Truly a great movie. Michael Greyeyes is an amazing actor and human being. Jessica Chastain also.
They loved each other, but never expressed it.
She's an artist w/ guts, something I admire very much. I paint portraiture & ❤ to paint subjects w/ secrets, meaning & redemption. This would be a worthy painting⚘
it's strange how you just talk about the white girl and what she paints
@@colindaniels1156 I didn't say anything about what the "White Girl" paints. What are you judging? You are entitled to your opinion, but that's all it is. Fact: I said this would be a worthy painting; referring to me painting Michael Greyeyes (Sitting Bull in the movie because I do portraiture) lol. The movie has 2 heros, and as a strong women I paint as I like. Why do you assume I meant "The White Girl" as you put it? What's wrong with the "White girl?" How do you find it worthy to discredit the woman? She would be a worthy painting too. Color doesn't matter, matter. Maybe it's because someone hurt you & for that I am sorry, but it wasn't me. The authors's heading says: Comment on "The Story of Catherine Weldon and Sitting Bull." That is exactly what I did. In the story Catherine painted Sitting Bull & he painted his life. Catherine was an ally to him. I don't hate you. So why the hate, that's exactly what fueled these killings. I'm an artist & wanted to do an oil painting of Sitting Bull because I found him worthy. ✌
An outstanding film. It doesn't need to win an award, to justify the history and craftsmanship of the file, story and actors. I live on the opposite side to the US and appreciated this film, for the history, authenticity, and most of all, beautiful heart warming love story.

I just watched this movie last night because of this video. I'm so glad that I did. Thank you for making this.
Me too! Wonderful!

Woman Walks Ahead, has become one of my all time favorite.
Patsy Castillo same here :))
OMG I am crying just watching this, I have to watch the movie! Why we didn't know about it before?
Good question
We have all this smut movies and TV this movie grabs you and keep your attention the history behind this movie is unreal
My first time seeing about this film in scammed clips, and I'm already crying. I have trouble letting go of films that are hauntingly beautiful and sad af. I want to watch this full movie.
I saw this film
I'm 50 years old
Is the greatest film I watched,
Incredible rroll performance everyone,
Thank youuuuuu
this is the most touching moving movie i have ever seen...besides loving michael greyeyes performance...everything he does he does well... i can watch it a 100 times more
This looks good. Sad. May healing and strength come for all first Nation people
Amen
Such a Noble, Graceful, Steadfast People...all the tribes I mean. Beautiful looking people with such history. Thank you for sharing this with us❤️
videos like this always break my heart. i am lakota sioux. the most tragic but proudest part of myself. my heart breaks for my brothers and sisters in every tribe who survived these times and the systematic destruction / genocide we are going through currently. people tend to forget about us. media blacks us out. we only have each other so spread love. i was lucky enough to leave ogalala at 5 years old and grew up with successful parents in california. few of us are able to make it out with our governments oppression. rooting for you all.
I've only recently discovered this film! Stunningly beautiful and completely heartbreaking. I've always been interested in Native American history and horses. This video is perfect, I love the chosen clips and the lovely music. Thank you from England x
The one made this video is an artist. cause he/she was able to take a masterpice and turn it into another masterpiece.
I don't like to watch movies with sad endings, but I feel like I will miss out a life lesson if I won't. Thank you
That's very kind of you, Shelly.
@@alisakhodos7453 You are more than welcome :)
The best movie I've seen in years. I guess Hollywood is just completely screwed up but they don't see what's really good
I’m incredibly grateful I stumbled upon this video. I immediately went to Amazon to buy and watch it and scarcely blinked throughout it for fear of missing anything. Beautiful story about a truly beautiful people that didn’t deserve the treatment they received. And Michael Greyeyes... my goodness.
The beauty of Michael Greyeyes is he plays who he is. He blessed and gifted. The first time I saw him I had woke up in the middle of the night and then he did that 8 seconds dance , wow!
Most beautiful man I have ever seen
Phyllis Snyman ever see Eric Schweig? Last of the Mohicans actor....HE was breathtaking.
@@joannamallory2823 Hi Joanna, I have actually forgotten about him...😈 Sexy!
Yes, Michael Greyeyes , even tho he's getting older, is the most beautiful man ever.
@@pamelabustos8693 I think they made him look a little older for this part, because in the interviews he's given about this movie he looks younger. Either way, he is still a work of art. He is much older than me, but this young little 'ol white girl thinks he is the most beautiful man she's ever seen.
Yessss
Thank you. I was “clicking”around RUclips and came across the video, read the comments and then rented the movie. WOW... I don’t have words that would do justice to the emotions right now.
Tears are running down my face. I will have to watch the full story!
Me too
That was a powerful few minutes
@@shawni321 yes!!
Yes I have watched it 3 times. I love this movie.

I love Michael Greyeyes❤💚❤
What an absolutely beautiful man.
Get in line.
Me too
I claimed him first! He's all mine, ladies! 😊😊😊. LOL
What a woman~brave doesn't come close to her magnificent way~born today she would be president☺🏛
My sort of film.. Very easy on the eye like poetry
I know!
The only movie that ever managed to make me cry. This story is so touching and broke my heart just as much.
I love the respect he have to her and his heart
The film's cast list shows Jessica Chastain's character as Catherine Weldon; a slight change from the real woman upon whom the character is based, Caroline Weldon (a common thing for based-upon films). This is a fascinating piece of history. Sadly, even the A-list actors who appeared in this film (and I include Michael Greyeyes in that list) couldn't get it nominated for any awards (afaik). Was it a for-the-love project for those involved? Did it not get noticed due to the glut of other films in 2018? Did its subject cause it to get less notice? Hard to say. Perhaps all those things had some influence, as well as other factors. It's a damn shame. Based on what I've seen of it so far, it looks like a well-crafted film with high-caliber performances.
Norther56 I agree. Woman Walks Ahead deserves much more recognition! It’s a breathtaking film with incredible acting. But at least we found this treasure; perhaps sooner or later the rest of the world will catch up! :)
imo racism and neglect is still alive and well in hollywood, so yes, you're right...never even heard of this lovely film til now
Maybe because it had a British female director and the movie wasn't kind to the Army and the whites. The acting was wonderful and scenery glorious. Every actor played their part expertly. Wonderful movie, I had to buy the DVD
She every brave native has heart .
Norther56 Great Question. I Agree 💯.
What a handsome man 👍❤️
So beautiful the connection they had.
Strong beautiful mature and free men, able to care, protect, educate and share, and feel a wide range of emotions. What a life and time it was. This video does look sad, but not more than the history behind it. Support to all who still keep that culture.
So Oscar worthy. Very hard for me to watch but I keep returning to it. Michael Greyeyes is The Bull.
Beautiful people. Brave woman. Every living person, creed or culture deserves to be treated with respect. ❤

Sooo beautiful. ❤️❤️ My heart breaks for all Native Americans. 💔💔💔
I knew that had to be Michael Greyeyes! So many years since I’ve seen him last but he’s still the hottest ever!!!
Great movie and Michael Greyeyes is one awesome actor!
I think Michael Greyeyes looks better and better with age?
yes he does.... ☺️😘😘
I remember him in a film where he was a lot younger.
This is such a sad and beautiful story...racism is the worst. Both Sitting Bull and Catherine Weldon deserved to be together long term. Of course times were way worse back then for minorities and women who thought for themselves.
Yes,very sad and realistic
He's fine as hell!
so touching brought tears to my eyes...so profound...thank you for sharing
I saw this movie over and over I absolutely loved it
Wonderful movie with fantastic performances. Well worth watching.
Looks amazing! Sitting bull is one of my hero's
I just saw it a couple of weeks ago on Amazon Prime. Really good movie!
I know this is going to be a painful yet beautiful movie so I was hesitating on watching it. Took me days after I watched this clip before deciding to watch it today. Now my eyes are swollen. It such a wonderful movie. I really hope that the government will give more rights, opportunities, lands, and respect to the natives. They deserve it from the very beginning and they deserve more.
I cant 💔💔💔💔💔😭😭😭😭😭😭just those little clips made me break down wow
Michael 🥰 He is a walking masterpiece!
This movie is so good. It gave me so many feelings.
Looks like a interesting movie to watch, Catherine looked like she really loved Sitting Bull and he in return.
I was crying since 1/3 of the video. I'm so sad that the whole culture, so many tribes got destroyed like this 💔 and the worst is the mixed couples, people that are different in some way are still being attacked for it and there are still racist, misogynist, stupid people who believe they are better just because their skin is white 💔
There are racist, misogynist and stupid people of all color of skin.
I am a white woman and my heart breaks for what my ancestors did. My life and my heart doesn't reflect on their deeds. My heart and my life see no color. I see beauty in every culture and race.

Michael Greyeyes is an MAGNIFICENT Actor.
I Pray for the Native Americans.
Beautiful Thanks. I love this history and the movie, Thanks.
I like their sparing with each other and you cannot stop when two hearts listen to the call of love even although they spend a short time with each other in their eyes they saw forever
Absolutely loved this movie.. he was such a great man... 💜
I just stumbled across this clip of a beautifully acted and filmed piece of art. Very moving and emotional. Thank you.
This made me cry so Beautiful.
This was an incredibly beautiful, sad movie.
