Lakota Freedom Media Release "Independence "

[honeybeaful]

I hope I live to see your peoples get the black hills back. I hope I live long enough to get enough money to buy back my ancestors home.

The dominant society here thinks that, like them, we have to look that up on ancestry.com and go find it in a library.

Many Blessings to your peoples.

[salian66]

why are you persecuted in your own country?,you should,nt be living like that you are a proud people,do you want all your lands back or just the black hills s,d?

[nightrider836]

Why is Obama spending billions of dollars on global poverty when the Lakota Sioux is living in poverty right here in the US. How much of a change has he really made. When he was just a senator his wife was earning $900.000.00 a year in a

non-profit hospital. I believe the change was only for him not the native.

[BlazingShotties]

being native american, i kind of admire what the white-man did building a country and all, but not how they went about it f*cking everybody over , lol. Sum whites r good, sum horrible, same with everybody else. my 2 cents on a friday night, i aint a loser just a guy takin it ez. cheers ppl.

[EdgardoJustice]

Nice work. keep it up. rtyth

[bremenlegation]

if your not militarly strong enough to hold your own land, then you dont deserve to live on it.

to the victor go the spoils. its how it always has been and always will be.

[JonPat01]

Oh really, is that so, huh?!

So I guess with that kinda logic france, Britain and most parts of europe should be german now, and under the rule of a fashist nazi-leader, because they couldn't really protect their land against the Nazis if the americans hadn't helped them! same happend to the natives, only they didn't have anyone to help them, until now! and just in case you're wondering, I am both, of native american and german decent! and I help and support my brothers and sisters on the rez!

[montemerrick]

dissolve all ties and head for the hills

[NobleFight]

I am only half siksika

But we are all one this stricks my hart my

I support the Lakotah

[granny1209]

we have seen a african american finally elected president NOW i want to see a native american then the land will definetly taken care of

[FemaleFreedomSeeker]

I´m a 100% for this, and I hope things develop in the way they wish it. Not another interim solution again. Finally justice and happiness, after so long.

[MadRazorRay]

...it means to Honor and respect those before you, which is not the wasichu way...

[peacetrees]

My native ancestors have always taught me to not trust the govt. and it hasn't changed. Natives were here first and then us first Immigrants and then here I am mixture of above but still haven't forgotten, and yes the treaties are still being broken, and the Earth being destroyed. All for greed. When will people see, we really are part of the same web of life. I support the healing and restoration of the Natives, and also for their freedom and all of our freedoms. Freedom and Justice for ALL...

[wilsparky]

You know something...this idea of being the 'first' therefore the most entitled to occupation is nonesense. Why?

Because that means that the 'natives' had no right to take the land from whoever was there before them. It means that no people can ever move anywhere. We must all stay where we were born and that it that. Nonesense. People have moved since the dawn of time. Indians moved to America across the Menai straights...who allowed them to do that? What right had they to do that?

[FemaleFreedomSeeker]

You might have a point about the "no-one-could-move-then"-part.­.. but I think the Lakotah people are right here because of the manner with which it happened. It´s a fact that the treaties are broken, don´t you think...? What they do is lawful.

And besides; what has it brought them? Destruction, pollution of the environment and sickness. Though they seek for harmony.

[FemaleFreedomSeeker]

Sorry, this was meant to be an answer to wilsparky below. No idea why YT didn´t get it right. Good wishes.

[apacheCHRISTIANfaith]

well the illegal immigrants from mexico says the lakota is not really lakota but really aztec and they say the lakota's land is mexico's land. If the illegal immigrants have their way then Lakota's land will become Mexico soon.

[Toodles213]

dude, where did u hear that? im Mexican and I dont think that Lakotah land is Mexico. u cant judge ALL Mexicans because of wat sum of them do. and our Aztec ancestors never went that far north, they were only as far north as the SouthWest united states. then they headed South to the Valley of Mexico. so yeh, i support the Lakotah 100%!

[ITILII]

The US constitution declares treaties to be supreme law of the land, yet the government broke every one of them. I'm not a Lakota, but I sure am all for them, and eveyone else who got taken advantage of. Just hope they live up to the great examples of Sitting Bull, Crazy Horze, Red Cloud and the other great mean...heres to dignity, freedom, justice and peace, for all, everywhere.

[uttatoo]

go my brothers and have pride in you blood like i have

[charion1234]

I'm all for it too however I just don't see it. I wish my own tribe would do this as well but there just isn't enough people that want it. The same issue is going on in the Lakota nation.

[Presstitute]

Good For You! Makes me proud that somewheres upon these lands there still lies a spark of freedom and dignity left. For the whites who treat the land as if it was a commodity much as grain or pork bellys; to be bought and sold as houses not homes and have no touch with the land will never understand. Take your Case to the world and UN, and may all indigenous peoples no matter the whitemans boundarys gain their due. May your example inspirie many to once again take their rightfull place

[spartencamp]

The UN is more corrupted the and other goverment in the world LOL I wouldn't take you case there. But I pray for all the natives. one people one land one nation

[draconat1]

and they still do

[draconat1]

apache is true nation lakota had there balls cut of back then

[caluze]

Every One in Yakton SIOUX TRIP needs all they can to help match for this cause APRIL 30th WE need has many has we can to help in this matter...PLease came to my page and find out more THANKS

[caluze]

yeah thanks for putting this on here. Many people need to know this. That we deserve to be free again

[BELECTRODES]

Thank You Again Brotha.

Peace

[ALomovica]

Yes really how is it that it was not on CNN,EuroNews,BBC...

[Freespirit488]

That's cuz America is brainwashed into thinking that selfish entertainment is more important than something that can truely make the world a better place. I'm on the Indigenous peoples side!

[heavyjavadrinker]

how can this not make the news????

[YugoMix]

It's obvious why it can't make the news (U.S. interest), but the internet exists and people like us who wish to spread the message, will eventually reach the ears of the world. Don't give up, I'm for the Republic of Lakotah, Lakotah Oyate!

[Matt1196]

funny how mainstream media doesnt even mention this....shit lakota claims independence from the US and nobody on mainstream talks about it? that alone should be enough to confirm the fact that the media is controlled and bias. they consider brittney spear's latest meltdown to be more important than real news like this

[nwulphie43]

yea they also pay attention to tibet in china. i think if lakota pushes for this a bit more rite now, and tries to expose themselves more, it wud b very difficult for americans to go against this if many of them r at the same time supporting independence of a nation halfway across the globe

[shakybearpaw]

words no longer make the news. You want the news you have to have physical reaction. riot, violence,crazy blonde white womem, dirty laundry.

[arafel1964]

Awesome vid! Beyond awesome. And this is really great news! It made my day.

Yeah let all the natives worldwide be free and independant again.

It is théir land!!!!!

But not all whites are bad.

We are the Antifa; anti-fascists, anti-nazis, anti-racists. I am member of a large growing European movement and we support the indeginous rights! And stand up against all who oppose that; individuals, groups, the state.

[AlchemicalAscendancy]

You Deserve your Land Back! it is a shame what has happend! White man is a curse to this planet, but some of us have old souls & understand what should be...

[mountain19]

then it is a great day for the people of the americas. speaking as desendant of heathens i am so glad for the keepers of this great land. bless you and your land. your good people.

[ParatrooperSrb]

Freedom for Siuox aborginal people from America!USA and EU stop to kill us and stop to abduct our land! Respect for brave chieftain!

[1889sportingman]

the lakota death rate is higher,but So is there alcholism rate, they are free to leave there reservation an get jobs instead of sitting there waiting for a handout,GET OVER IT!!

[heavyjavadrinker]

theyre not asking for a handout. theyre asking for their land back.

kudos to the video

[MadameBeeCuz]

This has not been politically "newsworhty". apparently, BUT. we have the "Longest Walk" coming up, also. We should concern ourselves more with "Mother Earth". The wrongs that have been done are too numerous to mention and would take up all of HYPERSPACE, if we even have any of THAT to waste....

Peace Out

[tatewakinyan]

Have you noticed how the international newspapers and TV news have NOT covered this important article fully. I ask viewers to pass on this video to as many people as possible in order to promote the fight for Lakota Independence and justice. Thanks. John

[MrsJChrist]

They did the same thing with Jena 6, and I really dont think not honoring the treaties will help. I suggest they Sue/Sioux the Government for Mass Religion Fraud, caused by the word no in the 1st AMENdment, especially since women as the head of the household never got a Vote. Remove the Blindfold from Lady Justice and let her use the Sword to cut those sons of guns back to the bone where She came from.

Peace out

[BOGZASV8MA]

Lakota Nation can become a banking tax haven for EU nations and China...... If they follow the same route like luxembourg/switzerland ..., they will need to have diplomatic relationships with other foriegn country for trade/ commerce...

[dementia664]

I support the Lakota cause, if this is what the majority truely want... and I like your banking idea with the exception of dealing with China- they are doing the same thing the U.S did to the indigenous Tibetan population. Now they aren't mass exterminating, but they are marginalising their culture, restricting religious and political freedoms and won't even allow autonomy for Tibet.

[rhyolitedragon]

People, particularly in the industrialised west, have abandoned and lost touch with their roots, where they came from and are destroying the places where they may need to return to one day. Good luck with freedom, I wish you well and let's hope this is just the start.

[rogeli007]

bon chance.......viva! La revolucion

[wingnut4427]

We should all support the Lakota people in their effort to become a free, independent & sovereign Nation. The biggest reason I sight is because The United States Supports Israel's right to be recognized as a state in Palestine. I think if the United states feels that Israel has a right to exist The republic of Lakota should as well. After all These people's lands were taken from them at the barrel of a gun. It is time the USA recognizes their mistake & restores honor to our government.

[dnHooligan]

Amen to that.

[bushuraloser]

Do understand GW bush has no respect for any independant soverign nation,as was Iraq which he invaded and bombed the crap out of, and is willing to do the same to another called Iran do you think his ignorant pig brain will respect the establishing of this Lakota Nation?

[wingnut44271]

I am aware of that. This is why We must get behind it. If enough of us do it will get world wide attention. My argument is what I stated earlier. If he doesn't then it will clearly demonstrate that he has other motives.

[wingnut4427]

I think it should be noted that the republic of Lakota runs right in the middle of the nafta super highway. I do not see this going down without a fight. So I implore the people of the states of, Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota, North Dakota, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico, Louisiana, Arkansas, Missouri & Iowa Support the Lakota in their quest to be their own nation as it will stop to the new world orders plan. We have to stand up now & support these people.

[QuinnEGorges]

Count me in.

[desire4liberation]

I'm all for this!! Free the people from evil...

I want to live in their nation

[ilya307]

great idea, start fighting for your own rights, no one else will do it it is for sure :)

[LordCerneAbbas]

Good job you're done Ray. I put in on my other blog along with the news story. The whole world is turning, against BushCo.

[MadRazorRay]

...it is about culture... a culture that lives with mother earth..not just on her and off her as does the Dominating Society who continues to breed ignorance and hate... do not mistake humble beings for naive ones...

[chevkoch]

This courage and determination needs to be applauded. I pray this is the long-awaited beginning of true freedom for all of us.

[GAVILANHERMANO]

Keep up the good work!

[MadRazorRay]

The Lakotafreedom site is obviously the best sorce.. the site below just is associated with the AFP (somehow)

[MadRazorRay]

Go to Google News 20 Dec 2007

Lakota country includes parts of the states of Nebraska, South Dakota, North Dakota, Montana and Wyoming.

The new country would issue its own passports and driving licences, and living there would be tax-free -- provided residents renounce their US citizenship, Means said.

The treaties signed with the United States are merely "worthless words on worthless paper," the Lakota freedom activists say on their website.

[stevemiholick]

God Bless Lakota Spirit. I now wish to join and live in Peace in Nebraska with my wife and 2 children. ((((((((Pray for Peace))))))))

[nutrix1]

In Lak'ech, I am you and You are me. I am another you.

[7863547]

Warriors are honored, not because they fight...but for the cause.

This is a good cause.

justice

dignity

peace

1+2=3

wado strong hearts, wado

[Winjury]

"1+2=3"

LOL. well, im glad. as i know others are. they dont exactly follow US laws. So- on that note- they better get off our land:) If your not with us, your against us.

[MadRazorRay]

I agree... the United States never follows its own laws or treaties. Hokahey

[Winjury]

"the United States never follows its own laws or treaties. Hokahey "

lol. thats the most vague descrpition i think ive ever seen. its like me saying that the ocean is deep. come on, really! haha. seriously, if thats all you have- 4th grade insults- than frankly i think its better that your indian people stay away from the United States if your all about this "peace and tranquility". If you know history then you know that the bysanders or the peace makers were always destroyed.

[Yesterdaysmaybe]

Maybe it would be better if you white people gave us our country back. Look at what your lack of peace and tranquility has gotten you so far.

[LordCerneAbbas]

Yes? Blair now looks so stupid for having agreed to buy those submarines with the 19inch tubes in the summer, seeing as Amerikkka has now decided to make the missiles 23 inch. You LIE, you CHEAT, you STEAL; you have no right to exist; the red man should rise up and kill you.

[LordCerneAbbas]

And don't y'all come back now, when he does, because my ancestors were Breton warriors and I'll kill you, if you do.

[7863547]

Acuera to de Soto: "I have long since learned who you [European Christians] are, *** To me you are professional vagabonds who wander from place to place, gaining your livelihood by robbing, sacking and murdering people who have given you no offense... Accordingly, I and all of my people have vowed to die a hundred deaths to maintain the freedom of our land." -- "The Florida of the Inca", by El Inca [Garcilaso de la Vega] (1591) - First book by the first American author to be published.

[Winjury]

great history lesson... "To me you are professional vagabonds who wander from place to place, gaining your livelihood by robbing, sacking and murdering people who have given you no offense... "

...sounds like something out of a movie! but calling someone a murderer without any proof is just wrong? or do you have any prove that all "white" men are murderers, oh wise one?

[7863547]

he had lots of proof...Ponce de Leon and Narvaez preceded de Soto. And he got word of what was happening in 'Mexico' so was well informed. "The Cacique Acuera's reply to the Governor's [de Soto] message was insolent. "I have long since learned who you Castilians are," he said, "through others of you who came years ago to my land; and I already know very well what your customs and behavior are like.""

[LordCerneAbbas]

You are a fool. All that you ever had is about to be taken away from you and you are still too blind to see the evil that you have done. Mother Earth has had enough.

[qualqui]

Almost too good to be true!!! Congratulations to the Lakotah People! You deserve it!

[linwooddeaton]

This coming from a mexican that is trying to break our treaty?

Whatever.

[qualqui]

mexican in nationality but i am indigenous just like my brothers to the North, the problem is Columbus and the impact he had on our forefathers and their way of life,the Lakotah People are an example for my brothers here, the Ben Zaa of Oaxaca, the Mayan ppls. of Chiapas and the Yucatan and others here in Mexico. I don't understand why you say i'm trying to break your treaty?!! Peace and Respect linwooddeaton!
