Impossible Dream - A Tribute to Native American Veterans

[voiceforveterans]

It leaves a big question mark why these people have limited opportunities while on the other hand they should be given priority.

Why would you serve a country that murdered your kin and stole your land?I dont understand that at all,

The murdering and stealing from Native Americans is one of worlds most unreported crimes yet Americans go around the world criticising and lecturing others for human rights abuses.

Talk about hypocrisy!

[ThomasASwilling]

@idonthavealoginname Why? To keep something worse from taking over, that's why. We fight for our families and our people, to preserve the precious little freedom that we have. If you're not Indigenous American, then you probably will never understand, no matter how eloquently or how many times it is explained to you.

[nativegoddess1977]

Don't you natives think about why this hate is still ongoing? C'mon it all has to stop somewhere....unless you like it.

[houseboy6325]

i am native american i can rember the time my grandmother and me had no running water i love this land and yet i hate what is being done to all native americans from and to all americans that are poor and have no hope and everyday is a great meaning to stay alive sometimes you think your in a 3rd world country my name is george savvas is my adopted name i had made a short vedio on my facebook to all native americans and love mother nature from lost feather

[ProtegeTuype]

Poor ppl ,they don't deserve this attitude.

[TheBlackFrog79]

The true americans.

[DonnieRez]

I am a Native American Veteran,as was my Father,and GranFathers..all my uncles and Fathers & GranFather's cousins. When I turned 18...I didn't even ask...I just knew it was my turn to serve my Country. I am Proud to be American, Proud to be a Veteran, and Most of all, Proud to be a Native American Veteran in a Long line of Family Veterans ...Aho!!

[intezam]

Stop using indigenous Americans as mascots for your silly and unjust wars

[dizzyg1970]

I hope when the treaty expires, the REAL Americans get their lands back. I am a disabled vet who has always been proud to have served, but not so proud of my country for what they have done to the native people of this land. May Wakan Tanka be with you. Pilamaya!

[PokemonKenobi]

Thanks for posting this piece. It does bring honor to any and all first nations people...especially for those who gave their lives for our freedom.

[songinwind]

Thank you Larry for sending me this to see----it brought me tears

[lawyerlocate]

It must be asked in a simple fashion in today's modern society Why is this happening?

We as free people of the world need to work to solve and prevent this tragedy.

[esan4001]

Thank You for showing this This is a great Tribute to Native American Veterans!!!

[CindySloan1]

Gosh...this will rip your heart out, 'eh?

[lander4545]

The Native American's of the United States of America are some of the most brutilized people ever. But yet they don't complain and whine like others! It is an absolute damn shame how these people have been treated through history! They have honor and dignity that you just don't see anymore!

[achcunam]

This is so sad, that they went to fight a war; when at home they had nothing.I will never be able to understand why people, who come from DNA that has been tresspass on so bad; always seek to protect the ones who has cause all the pain.Wow, you indians got fuck so hard; that I don't think ya'll will ever be able to see the truth.

[sharingan5123]

thanks to the native people language the germans weren't able to crack through our messages in ww11 am so happy i have indigenous blood.

[piandagirl1]

We should have helped ourselves, not any europeans They all have the same goal, extermination of the redman. I always hear stupid NDNs say "im not fighting for whites, im fighting for my family at home" Bullshit, your fighting in wars started by white peoples GREED, your puppets of those whites in power who YOU fight for! Keep being tricked by the lying euro's in power, im not.

[mamy101]

The government has always kept the Indians under foot.They can not build any stores,schools or good houses because the gov.won't give them permits to build.They make jewelry and clothes to sell to feed their kids. .I am a Cherokee and very proud of you for wanting to know the truth.The government took all of the good land and where we live will not grow any crops.We dig wells and have no lights.We are an abused people but one day it will change,because nothing ever stays the same.

[johnnyblazze911]

[josvizer]

The U.S government screwed the Native Americans over.

[supermonk3y07]

yeah I agree with johnnyblazze911, I'd like to know why I keep hearing why most are alchoholics and drug addicts.

[lissita22]

Thank you for such a beautiful video! God sees it and knows it all. Native Americans shall be given the ultimate rewards in heaven. May God continue to bless you all!

[Chamelionroses]

Don't only just write to the president also write to all legislative branches.

[WhiteStarWoman]

This makes me sick especially in light of the facts I've just been made aware of. The BIA is dirty! Dirtier than anyone can imagine and there will soon be a campaign to uncover the truth. Everyone's voice will be needed to get Obama's attention but it's starting now. Please HELP! Keep watching! Write letters, etc. End the POW camps known as reservations!!!!! Give the people back what was promised along with their dignity!

[shontoboy]

My cheii in clan wise was a codetalker from navajo moutain and my uncles all served in vietiam and desert storm because of our Proud warrior tradition but we still live without electricty and water and have to hitchhike 60 miles jus to got the store

[anabaptistSue]

Native Americans helped the Pilgrims after they got off the Mayflower. Many thanks to our friends.

[mara235]

Keep being proud - all those who try to keep you down, fight against them. My son is in the Army, and is fighting for what he believes in. God Bless you.

[Zenstea]

[lyden2006]

[letthetruthbeknown9]

[AnthonyPR1990]

Some times with all that life throws at us we forget, until we see a video like this and we remember those who served before us and those who will serve after us and why we answered the call in the begining.
