Dakota Lakota Nakota Human Rights Coalition Request - Rosebud Indian Reservation

[TatankaObWaci]

Thank you TOL for your fair distribution, warm welcome where MANY eat daily and unrelenting passion to contribute to the health of my people.

[TatankaObWaci]

More power to the both of you but you need to go after the legitimate threats to our community rather than the legitimate, positive assistance. Ask these churches if they truly believe that our culture is wrong and Jesus is OUR only way. The reason that TOL needs more space is because they are helping MORE. I challenge you to find another group here that affects more households for NOTHING in return.

[TatankaObWaci]

I would love to see you focus your energy on the drug dealers at Sunrise Apartments or the alcohol salesmen at Chute 2. What about Gerald Boneshirt who sells our sacred pipes?? Even the Tribe makes frequent calls for the TOL's assistance. The director and his wife are beautiful people. Talk about a job with little appreciation. Thank you to the Tribe for honoring the TOL at last year's Rosebud Fair and Wacipi.

[TatankaObWaci]

For the record. I NEED to clear The Tree Of Life's name. I am an enrolled member of the Rosebud Sioux Tribe here in South Dakota. Alfred and Belva, you can slander anyone else here in Mission. You NEED to get your facts straight before you attack The Tree Of Life. First of all, the red house is owned by a different church. The only vehicle owned by TOL is the red mini van. The others are owned by volunteers who do more for this rez than most of the residents do. To be continued........

history is not change at all go out and work make that money

[chrsmats]

its easy to claim "your land" when you have no job/no money. My great great great great grandpa will apologizer to your great great great grandpa. The cities in South Dakota are tired of using 85% of their police resources everyday on indian affairs. This is OUR land...yours...mine...everyone­s.

[igmuska]

right on, Alfred, they use our poverty to enrich themselves.

americans..that's descendents of european collonists,asians,blacks should leave the states and go back were they came from...it's not their land

[Audreyshops]

YOU're right. There are places for them to go. There is no excuse. Any TRUE Christian or good person will see that this is right otherwise nothing good will ever happen for them in life. That's just the way it is.

[dpapaioannow]

yes thank you and i hope that one day your country will come together with the nothern part of it

[JustinDZL]

this is just not right..... a terrible way to have to live

[littlebear1963]

The sad thing is that often people in Europe don´t know that reservations still exist. If they would have more knowledge about life conditions in the reservations they would be very astonished. People have other conceivabilities.

[SpiderFAP]

Man you right, look i live in Europe and i can assure you that no one here knows that native Americans live in reservations, at least ordinary people, they think that's just legends from movies and books. That's very sad, once you own the entire continent and next you are in a kind of reservation forgotten. This is more than criminal act 6his is genocide. Good bless you all.

[NativeAmerican4Life]

Great Video.

[ceomeye]

Usually all discrimination is european!! Europeans are the squatters who can not get along with anybody unless its white supremacy, U.S.A white domination as of now. Now they want to rule the world and discriminate everybody else thats not white...

[AMason8634]

Great video, peace.

[corkafcceltic]

the guy mentioned "discrimination" man you got it right there. peace, justice,equaility and freedom for all the oppressed of the world.

[tachiahawk]

people do not understand that so many of the "donations" collected for the rez's do NOT even get to the people. glad that this video talks about that issue. people need to know how our homeless people, our peoples poverty is used to collect donations for personal gain, not for our peoples.
