Lakota prayer

everyone has a culture except white man has no culture, I feel so bad when the whites said that Native Americans were immigrants to there own country and striped from there freedom lands...I wish I had a time machine to travel back to 1825 to warn them and prepare the native tribes of the evil that a waits them so that way I can go back to 2011 native people would probably be in peace and the Native tribes would have all sides of the country in peace still

[CRaZy4RiGHT]

@1088musicwonder That sounds very nice. But you cant go to the past. But how about helping Natives stuck in reservations in which the united states (white people) put them in. Help them! You can do somthing!

[1088musicwonder]

@CRaZy4RiGHT yeahhh I help them frist then take them back in time with me to prepare there ansisters for the evil yet to come from the whites evil take over

[orlandobabe]

This is so wrong! A boy's spirit is broken because of that school. Bastards!

[SuperRedHead44]

why can't anyone donwload the entire movie

[knightedmarkie]

@SuperRedHead44 It is a longish running tv show not a movie and as as far as i know it has been downloaded on you tube as I watch quite a few of the eps on you tube last year so unless they have been taken down they should still be there ans i think worth giving a view

[wilkilutin22]

@knightedmarkie Hi everybody,i'm a fan about native american people & i would like to see this movie.i don't understand,i thought that "into the west" was a serie,not a movie...Please can you give me more informations about this movie: director's name, actor's name etc... thanks!

[wilkilutin22]

@knightedmarkie it's really dreadful...the native people,a magnificent nation, have lost everything... their land,their culture,their freedom...because of a thirsty for power & wealth of White men.

it's unforgivable!!there are not word to that...

Nice blouse.

Wasn't cutting the hair a symbol of mourning for Natives back then? It still is for some today I think.

[knightedmarkie]

Yes some cultures do still shave mostly the oldest son but the the oldest girl does if no male offspring in the family some cases all offspring shave

[TreScotts1Fan]

Do you know what he's saying?

[knightedmarkie]

NO but I have wondered the same thing my self

[zhoni2004]

@TreScotts1Fan he was pray because he was going to cut his hair

[TreScotts1Fan]

@zhoni2004 Yes. I know. Thank you. I've watched it many times now. Thank you for your response.

[knightedmarkie]

see also les gens de la riziere link in my video links page

[knightedmarkie]

see a in my video links page called les gens de la riziere its about a headshave for mourning rites

[TreScotts1Fan]

I bought the movie from the door. He's saying something like God protect me or God lead me. Of course the proper term would be great spirit or Wanka Tanka. Sorry for the spelling. They use that phrase in the movie. Wanka Tanka is the spirit of the Buffalo I think. I could be wrong. Please, no one get offended if it's wrong about what spirit it is. I recommend this movie to everyone. I cried so much. Voices that Carry is great, the young and grown version of him.

[knightedmarkie]

thanks that gives us a clearer picture of whats going on

[TreScotts1Fan]

Correction. I just watched it again. It's Great Spirit Have Compassion on me over and over.

[harka1828]

@TreScotts1Fan

Wakan Tanka is the Great Spirit, the God of the Lakota indians.I think nearly each indian tribe has had one God, the great spirit, only with another name(because of another language!)So for example Manitu is the word for Great Spirit in the Algonquin language.

[TreScotts1Fan]

@harka1828 Thanks. It's always good to learn new facts and not be completely unknowing.

:)

[xXaliXx420]

@TreScotts1Fan not god.. as in christian god. the creator.

[TreScotts1Fan]

@xXaliXx420 I corrected myself above in the two higher rated comments.

[Sleepingsun4]

Such a terrible emotional wrongs (and only one of many)...cutting hair must have been so beyond understanding in those childrens minds...so different from what their own family and loved ones had teached..

[knightedmarkie]

yes the children and teens I think went through a lot that must have felt strange and unwelcome aswell as frighting Man not always right and this is one thing man not only got wrong but went aboutit all wrong

[Mysterymusicgirl]

i do not understand why native americans where force to give up their ways to live the white mans ways.

[knightedmarkie]

Nor do I it was also the same for tribal people in australia they did a lot of damage to tribal culture too markie

[BeccaKitty96]
