Chief Tatanka Yotaka or Sitting Bull (1834- 1890)

[strudel89]

A few years ago i remember a native american who passed by the junior high where i was studying and he was selling pictures of native americans from different tribes,then i head some guys from the comanche mexcaleros were passing by too selling handicraft,I didnt talk to him but i wish i could if i have known that

[labloverz2000]

you better believe it is! I know without any doubt IT was WRONG! ugly! . right is never wrong wrong will never be right money and sorry never will give what was taken! bad! wrong!

[labloverz2000]

Defend the Earth or be her enemy. Seems they knew that and died trying I am proud of them . I feel them in my soul. which I am glad.

[gladefoam]

@labloverz2000 Natives were too backwards. In 15th century none of the existing civilizations made any harm to earth. There was no industrialization then. Natives didnt protect the earth, they just cudnt harm her. Period.

[64Hulya]

White and black Americans ask me why I do not like them. Because they treat other race low life. The more I learn U.S. history the more I feel discussed of Americans. There hatred still continues towards middle eastern and Latinos and to Turks. You can take Americans out of hatred, but you could never take hatred out of Americans. This country still belongs to Native American no matter what.

[xgaiaxo]

This is worse than the jewish genocide but nobody talk to much about that of its ancestral rights... they still live left and forgotten.

[FENVYNVYR]

CHASE IYESICA SKA HOKSILA WAKAN ....LET US BE STRANGERS AND PASS LIKE ICEBERGS

[KanghiWinyan]

Feeling guilty for the past isn't going to solve anything. It's only going to make you hurt yourself inside. Instead of hating the past, embrace the present and stand strong for the future. My father opened my eyes with great wisdom. I used to let hatred fill me. It made me sick. My father told me that if your ancestors hadn't came and made the USA, then when Hitler's time came, he would've won. There'd be nobody but blond Nazis alive on the earth now. Wakan Tanka wanted all of his colors alive.

[rgeiger1954]

whites killed over 20 million and you can build all the monuments you want...It will not take the pain away....or bring them back....this is their land not ours....

[lishes43]

OGLALA LAKOTA HERE I DONT KNOW ANYTHIG YOU PEOPEL ARE TALKING

ABOUT BUT THIS SONG IS ABOUT TATANKA YOTAKA WHO WAS LAKOTA

AND I WISH TO SEE HIM WHEN I DIE.

[BPWatcher]

Canada apologized for what they did to the natives that were there first as well. they were French and the tribes thought they would help after the french/ America wars, no they did not at all. During that time in history every country was trying to take as much land as they could from whom ever, it made no difference. the Indian did not own the land or the trees or the water or air, they existed with it as part of it, they will return again to be part of the new world.

[SPAREPARTSCENTRE]

Love this - does this dance and song have a name and if so is there a tradition behind it?

[rodzmen1]

I wish someone would get back the remains of Geronimo that The Bush family stole for the Skull and Bones society. Extremely disturbing and this is the people the Americans put in office. Geronimo will come back for a face to face with Bush.

[95Tanner]

my moms great grandmother could speak pure indian

[MercyCal]

My friends, I experienced a spiritual awakening of profound proportions. At the beginning I met a Native American Woman in Austin Texas. We knew each other for less than 48 hours. As I was leaving she insisted that I take her to her home. She ran inside and came out a said William I want you to have this and carry it with you, It took me a long time to earn this but I want to give it to you. She gave me her Eagle Feather. See where that leads me. mercycal.com I need help.

[storytellerfoto]

would Jesus Christ be proud of all that was dunn in his name. especially in this land

[metrotrujillo]

@storytellerfoto Jesus was a middle eastern man practicing a middle eastern religion called Judaism, if you happen to be European descendant you should not be Christian you should be probably you should be what was called pagan, google paganism...Wikipedia it.

[storytellerfoto]

@metrotrujillo Thank you for your comment The point I was trying to make with my comment was that in its 2000 years history the Christian churches did many very awful things that were not Christ like. All in the name of Christ . In more resent history Indian children were taken from there family's and put in boarding schools run by diffident church groups, in the name of Christ to save there soles. The Spanish, the French and the English all did awful things in the name of Christ.

[KanghiWinyan]

@metrotrujillo And God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son to be the lamb of lambs, the sacrifice of sacrifices. He existed before God put him on earth to teach everyone and die to save us all. He was spirit. Our people knew he was there and that he was coming, We were well prepared for him. He never made it here because too many ppl needed him in the mideast. Those that came in his name had perverted the word of God for their own greed, having nothing to do with God.

[mumandauntyglad]

@KanghiWinyan That, I do sincerely believe in what has just been said.

[TalentsUnlimitedII]

Oh, look at that. It looks like a good place to stand. It must be mine, since I am here. The quest to take over, ship it home to mother England, France, Holland, or China.

I am thankful to be here, in this great land, but when it comes right down to it, what do I truly own, except the skin on my bones, and the hair on my head, my heart and soul, tormented by those who would take it, rule it, and abuse it.

Keep bringing the truth into the light. It must be told.

[magdaszabo]

@TalentsUnlimitedII yes yes yes. what do we truly own....even moreso, what are we even truly ARE: less than the hair on our heads, just spirit & soul...thank u for such a lovely post. thank u .

[tacman666]

I am proud to be an native american

[95Tanner]

I just found out two days go that im related to Tatanka Yotaka!

[thoostorm4]

@95Tanner YOUR RELATED TO A BUFFALO HA HA

[95Tanner]

@thoostorm4 your just fucked up. Just another negative lowlife whos trying to bring me down.

[Ouananish1]

It says ''We eant no white man here, the Black Hills belong to ME; If the whites try to take them, I will fight.'' But this is truely impossible for him to say such a thing... Native americans knew that they were part of Mother Earth and knew that she cannot belong to anybody...

[slolalwaysni]

@Ouananish1 yes true to some degree, but the PAHA SAPS-HE SAPA, IS AND WILL ALWAYS BE LAKOTA-DAKOTA-NAKOTA, SOULY LAKOTA, MANY NATIONS CAME TO PRAY THERE, BUT WE WERE THE CURATORS OF THAT WHICH WANKA TANKA BESTOWED UPON US AS A SICANGU-LAKOTA, HECATUWELO . . .

[Ouananish1]

@slolalwaysni ya! you've got a point man, real talk

[tinaeger1]

@Ouananish1 - and this is the one and only truth! bless u

[nicodagger]

Beautifullly done, and of course it was genocide, and yes well said having money and casinos CANNOT replace the culture and people that were destroyed, any more than money can compensate for the six million jews murdered by Hitler. Both were genocide. But it's wonderful that the Lakota is still alive and well! I wish for new Tatanka Yotankas and Red Clouds, and Crazy Horse..

[280692gitar]

by all means, are not tatanka yotanka a medicine man,?

the leader of his tribe got killed/ died, so he stepd in without any sermony ?

just plundering....

[sushi81]

In my country, Japan. My grandfather say, in war or for survival a great general say, to live is to die and when a man is fighting a battle. He should understand that living is a desperate business and death is a more desperate business. Fight to live my people. Then the general ride to battle with he's people.

[ckhafagiuk]

this is the best video i saw ... it is disgusting that all people talk about is palestine, and noone ever bothers to think about what happened to this most wonderful people at the hands of their very own government... i just hope that that little president of yours will soon put a hand on his conscience.

[strikefire02]

fuck yea it was genocide

[okloverboy23]

stand tall never give up, never admit defeat,and never never show fear in the face of the enemy.

[strikefire02]

he was murdered 119 years ago and he is 175 in age

[iwillgiveuatoothache]

eeee

[strikefire02]

it makes my heart burn in anger wen i remember the killer of our great leader and any body that supports him should go to his grave and leave some flowers for our great leader

[strikefire02]

his name as a child was slow i read a book about it but he earned the name of sitting bull

[Turkishwolf1]

never give up

NEVER!

[BlueberryDoughnuts]

@Turkishwolf1 Mitakuye Oyasin

[KanghiWinyan]

@Turkishwolf1 Pilamayaye, Turkishwolf1, for making such a fine tribute to Tatanka Iyotanka (Cheif Sitting Bull). It is beautiful. Lila Waste!

Mitakye Oyasin

[uryyuru]

The US Gov. can go into other countries and give the country back to thier original people , but they wont give Us back our land , Sort of HIpicritical don't you think?

[alexsolisinvictus]

Everey country has to apologize for the terrible events of their own history, why USA doesn't apologize for the genocide of the Native Americans?

[WeWillNeverForget]

alexsolisinvictus, u're wrong. In the World,, there is just our countries (Westerns countries) say the truth on the History, every others countries (asians, latinos, africans, arabs) liar again and again. In more, American government already settle the problem of "apologize" about Native Americans but don't forget, there was Native Americans was WITH Americans against others Native Americans.

[strikefire02]

so we native Americans are great people and for murdering part of my generation we have casinos and we make millions out of u but that could never replace the death of our great leader money will never make a person come back to life so don't talk about us like that and we were the first ones here

[iwillgiveuatoothache]

true

[gladefoam]

@alexsolisinvictus "Everey country has to apologize for the terrible events of their own history" Thats not true. Thats a dumb statement.

[Gocavs1990]

hell yeah it was genocide

[xoRichox]

z3link : What is in the past is in the past. You are a great person for even thinking it is your fault. It's not! You're a beautiful person.

[creativeforce11]

Thank you for posting this video.

Moved my heart and spirit. Gratitude and Blessings from Scotland

[z3link]

Though I was adopted from south korea, I still am truley sorry that we as americans(myself included) were apart of this savagery towards all of the Native Americans. My heart weeps and is racked with guilt for even today, America is still the way it was back in the 1800s. I want you to know that I deeply respect all the Native American tribes and for all those still on reservations. I am sorry, please forgive me.

[REZDEVIL]

whie man saw they came and they took

[AdonisDeLaurentiis]

If his birth place was indeed Many Caches, then his life did in fact reach full circle, because it was almost directly opposite the site of his birth when he met his death in 1890.

[nakotasawicasa]

i thought sitting bull had his own song?

[jamnua]

yes, it was genocide - and it's still going on.

Love from Switzerland.

PS: loved to see also Russel Means in this video

[GangstaUA]

i cant watch this video

just moved new area Rr

[MajorCello]

Wasn't he actually born on 1831?

[Hekamaat]

Europe shovelled its unwanted unto ships and exported them.

When they arrived, they were like scarab-beetles:

The only creature on earth which keeps looking into the direction from which it comes, while walking backwards into the future...

And it seems as if some of their kin are looking at the rest of the world now the same way their forefathers looked at the Native Americans.

Those who look at mankind and perceive nothing but insects are looking at the world through the eyes of an insect.

[swpo1]

the white men are all just ghosts of fools

[harryged]

Tatanka Yotaka struggles had many similarities with Augusto Cesar Sandino and ultimately the same fate. Incredibly, there are still many native groups in Central and South America that are landless, or losing their lands, not to mention poisoning of their land by mining companies. I also recommend the move The Mission to see the cruelty the "civilized world" brought upon us savages.

[nickjonasfanhottie1]

this is my great great grandfather!!!! lol

[wagnertotto]

Nosotros somos nativos de america estamos antes que los blancos y permaneceremos aqui .

[fagottona]

my heart grieves for these great people.I believe Tatanka Yotanka was the greatest american ever.When I watch films like dances with wolves and bury my heart at wounded knee I feel so disgusted with the americans.The destruction of the native americans was the greatest genocide of all time,and people remeber more frequently the holocaust.yuk

[Judocraft]

last of the mohigans is great movie go watch it too

[rehabib2]

and you call him american ? how about human being .

[Polak9843]

dude thanks i needed that for school

[alembicbassguy]

How incredibly sad that the USA was founded and built upon ethnic cleansing, lies and violence.

The plight of the native american is a tragedy that must never be forgotten. The tribes were considered savages but had a moral conduct and advanced social standing in their society that put the settlers to shame.

USA - hang your head at the treatment of these true Americans.

[walkingbear56]

The murdering of the Red Peoples still goes on today, 500+ years since columbus landed and spread the virus of greed over Turtle Island. it.

The proof looks you in the eyes and you refuse to believe it

polluted rivers, unbreathable air, suicide, alcohol, drugs.

The elite have even turned against their own white people now. "Babylon falling down... watch out child"

As Tatanka Yotaka asked

"When will the "white man" ever act like a Human Being?

[walkingbear56]

Great posting by the way!!

[rehabib2]

my res is overrun by meth and alcohol . one day when the last tree is gone and the last animal dead , he will relize you can't eat money . ever think about how they have had to control all people from blacks to red men ? they are evil . i'm half for anyone who's thinks i don't have a say . one day brother we'll all be together in a great green valley under a great blue sky .

[walkingbear56]

There are many people who live on the american continent but I don't see many Human Beings.

The wanton and cruel waste of a land that was once fit to live on, is one of the saddest and most stupid waste of resources I have ever seen by people who call themselves civilized. Well if that is the civilizing process.. you can stick it ... I'm all for being "uncivilized".

Tatanka Yotanka and Tasunka Witco ("his horse is enchanted", not crazy horse) saw it coming a long time ago.

[walkingbear56]

Also it is a focussed and deliberate "addicting" to drugs and alcohol, of the colored races by "white elitist" organizations ( such as the cia, fbeyes and the government) and also by those who still seek to profit from the land they desire to steal from those who would keep it as the gift from Creator.

When will they behave in a civilized and human manner instead of destroying all that they covet?

I fear it is already later than you think.

[gunthor2001]

Sitting Bull was the man.

[cougartracks]

Estonko this great man could not be bought, bribed, or sold, he was passionate, and showed compassion to those less fortunate than himself, he was self sacrificing for his peoples needs, he was a visionary,who had a rare talent that was great spirit given and never abused,he was religious and held reverence for the land and all that lived upon it,a leader of exceptional quality's and foresight,he is my spirit guide and my adviser,we talk together daily vnvhe Osceola.love the video.

[Shagilator]

Wow thats interesting. What does he say?

[KingLouisXXI]

I don't know what make me more upset,the fact that they cowardly went and killed children,the elderly,the deaf/blind & the women,or the fact that chief Sitting Bull died a reservation indian

[cougartracks]

He didn't die a res Indian he was murdered, because he was in the way of the government stealing more Lakota land, how do i know this Sitting Bull is my spirit guide, vnvhe Osceola.

[Miss3Riv]

Quel leader autochtone, quelles belles images et quel beau chant! Micta mirowacin! Mikwetc.

[AMENOTEPH]

I´m from south america, and i´m still feeling great respect for all the native people around the world. My great respect and love to those still alive. My great deeply love to Leonard Peltier still in prison, his fight is the fight of millions and millions who never are going to give up for the rights of every creature on earth. We must to go back to the roots if we want to survive.

[tatankayotaka1]

whites go back to europe

[navena3]

Wielki szacunek dla Indian. To wspaniali i mądrzy ludzie.Aż żal serce ściska kiedy czyta się o ich historii.

A great respect for Indians.

[blondinge]

i have to do a project about him...where did u get all these pictures and quites and everything?

[ledzeppelinistheshit]

Sitting Bull, gave money to homless, hungry white people, and he still got shot, thats sad, my heros are the leader of the pueblo revolt is Pope, and my other hero of the Sioux is Sitting Bull, great leaders

[KingLouisXXI]

when/What was the pueblo revolt? (In Canada) Sorry,rather misinformed about that side of the americas.Pueblo indians are in Mexico?

[fenerefes]
