John Trudell "The Lasting Effects" The American Indian Movement

[kellypolfleit]

This is not any different than what hitler did to the Jews. Our Government was responsible for all this. That sickens me!

[twiztdupsmoke187]

Nowadays, Natives have casinos. And long before, their was a chance at democracy awarded to them. Awarded. Now that Natives have it, they don't know what to do with it. Goes true with every tribe. The Caucasoid awarded them an ability to fuck themselves over. Which happens alot among Natives.

[creesugarbaby]

I like John Trudell he speaks it, because its real, and i respect him, because he tells it. It was behind the scenes type of laws made to exterminate or assimilate, but first on the list was extermination. I know the first germ warfare was proposed at Fort Pitt by the British during Pontiacs rebellion. It was stated it would be in the best interest of the British Government to inocculate all native americans with small pox. Shortly after negotiations an outbreak of small pox happened.

@permacuitureli-Id rather die a painful death then be one with the whites.

[creesugarbaby]

Pimp Ass! I agree with the concious effort to irradicate. At least blacks recieved an apology. And are some wealthy rich blacks, if uncle sam and europe would've played fair. Would've let us keep a monopoly on corn, potato, and tomato. Also would've let thouse poor aztec keep some of the gold. Was prestigious families in this country as well, but now struggling to pull it back together.

[TheFirehawk1313]

thank you john, i agree 100% actually i feel that AIM is the lasting flame the last hope in many ways, it is the one way we may retain our lifes and our blood.

@fionz71 George W. Bush mad a statement JUST like taht. "If your not with us, then your against us. So did Hitler. I'm just saying, watch out or you might become your enemy.

[fionz71]

@foxwilliammulderx Yeah, I understand what you mean. I didnt mean it in the aggressive way that it seemed. I will delete my comment. I met some real american indians in glasgow back in 2008 and it was such a great experience. But, I have always looked up to them since my school days as they live on the lands and they are so natural.

[foxwilliammulderx]

@fionz71 Well, I am Coastal Salish. and my people suck. My people are the Lummi(rhymes with tummy) and my generation is made up of a pack of lame brained gangsta wanna be jerk offs. Wanna trade places, the rez is pretty, the girls are hot, but the people suck. I geuss what I mean is the american dream turned this whole land into a shopping mal nightmear.

[fionz71]

@foxwilliammulderx

I hate shopping, wouldnt be so bad if I had the money!

[foxwilliammulderx]

@fionz71 I hate Mickey Mouse.

[ocky88]

Was there any need to compare the genocide of Nat. Americans to slavery? Is there anything positive in stating the Nat. Americans had it the worst? How about joining with us and and trying to end the oppression that is still occurring on reservations and ghettos in this country? I respect him for standing up for his ppl, but distancing from other minorities (potential supporters) is silly.

[selenadelos]

@ocky88 : He did not disrespect anyone blacks included, he simply stated the fact we took a harder hit 95% of your people wiped out dead and the remaining had their children and put into Christian Education Camps where they attempted where they tried to beat and destroy the person inside out and killed many and were talking about after 95% are dead !: Now if you do not understand how thats a harder hit then sorry that is your own issue !

[ocky88]

@selenadelos you missed the point. Ok. Let me agree with you. Now what? The point is, why not try to join forces to deal with all levels of inequality?

[selenadelos]

@ocky88: You guys have more power you have got numbers that is how you guys overcame, it was not just MLK, we do not have the numbers they murdered us in the millions, we have to stay together just to keep from vanishing the whole spectrum of what has happened is different for you. Most blacks except christ we will not take their god nor will we bow to their culture and assimilate that is our death. So joining together is one thing and we have in the past and present been very vocal on

[selenadelos]

Civil Rights and Civil Liberties not just for our own issues either. They still desire to destroy us it is not the past for us, and truth be known many myself included I am not american I owe nothing to this murderous colonial system, faces and tactics that is all that has changed for us. We have to stay focused on our issues and we can not depend on others to fight with us at least until the prove it, hell look at our history even the churches conspired to kidnap & murder our children

[selenadelos]

@selenadelos Like he says and he is right no one would have bet on us lasting this long, we was about to give up A.I.M. and the elders I thank them for my very existence with out them I would have been one lost puppy and I know this as a fact. Without that fire and anger to motivate you to struggle on and fight back. the situation you find yourself in as a Lakota Sioux it is to overwhelming to handle without faith and guidance from those that understand where your coming from.

[ocky88]

@selenadelos true. Numbers are important. Which is even more of a reason why I don't get why there has not been more collaboration b/t minority groups. Black people are still catching hell, N. Americans are still oppressed, and there is new proposed legislation to try and legalize profiling of Latinos. Separately, it takes a LOT longer to correct these problems, but together we could all have more impact.

[selenadelos]

@ocky88: new proposed legislation to try and legalize profiling of Latinos. ,, Yes I am a member of a organization that is organizing protests against Arizona and fighting these laws I can show you more about this if you would like just let me know ?: We would be better off that is true I agree and When we have sought to correct injustices against us it has always been our voices alone. Look at this Glen Beck inspired Tea Party colonialist BS, bet their organized well !: We need to be like NOW

[ocky88]

@selenadelos absolutely agree. I feel there is little to no shared concern between minority people. I am personally disgusted that I have only recently become aware of the conditions on reservations. It is crazy that I am spoon-fed a blow-by-blow account of Lindsey Lohan's court cases through the media, but lived 26 years without knowing about the hell the people on Pine Ridge Reservation endure. It is time to get involved. That is why I encourage EVERYONE to register and VOTE in Nov.

[selenadelos]

@ocky88 Trust me that we do understand and I have never met one of our people that did not have a lot empathy for the crimes committed against blacks, but I still stand by Johns statement as accurate and true nor was it`s intent to distance anyone, Nor to lessen the crime of slavery and segregation and the total depravity of such a disgusting system and truly one of the major crimes against humanity ever.

[DrJeanine]

This is wonderful. Thank goodness Creator for AIM & John Trudell.

[gringodeltoro1]

If what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, the American Indian people out there are toughest in this world !

[TheOnlyRealTanYaisa]

I've not heard truth spoken in an In your face, elequent and factual way.....a true poet and leader.... thank you John..........

[believersunderground]

ppl get it done with love. Post Glacial Rebound is in play big time. earthquakes more then volcanos then? 79 million indians died by the rich for land. what now? that land grap is on again above 40th parrell. the 2030 report washington dc. Scott (BUG) don't get played ppl

[redstarhawk]

Bright seeds! Thank You John for speaking! Thanks Kayaani!

[warrenst1955]

I have often wondered ...why are there no american indians in tv commercials or any tv shows? every other race is ..so i would like to know that ...you see westerns with their so called indian ,but nothing else ...strange and sad in my book....

[MrIndianSupporter]

Indigenous Americans in the US and Canada are not given equal opportunities in there own land. Sadly, suicide rate among Indigenous teenage is very high, reason; they dont have anything to look forward too because the whites want to kill these people off. I have asked may indigenous teenagers if they have completed high school and most of them say it is no use because the whites will not give them jobs.

[limitup58]

its not the whites. its the Zionist Jewish controlled government who runs this country! runs its media and makes up its laws. DEATH to the ZIONIST one world order.

[MrIndianSupporter]

Yeah! The Jews are a bunch of racist bastards. I was a Christian, dropped Jesus off and started to go to synagogue. Then I found out that the Jews are racist dogs and they also make God to look like a racist and worst they make God look like a vampire who needs blood to forgive sins. This is not how I find God to be; to me God is a loving creator that loves all that God has created. They also make God look to be on their side against the rest of mankind.

[RezMan]

How do 'THEY' do it?...That's one question i as a native american ask...HOW DO THEY CONTINUE TO LIVE GUILT FREE ON STOLEN LAND?

[MrIndianSupporter]

Whites are not guilty free. They hate to see natives doing well. If only natives could press forward and so well the whites will burn them selves to self destruction. This is how natives can win over the whites believe me I a foreigner and the whites express their concern about natives being a treat to them because natives are very talented people.

[RezMan]

Yea but soon their government will collapse thenEVERYONE will be living with out runnin water & electricity just like on the REZ...but its nothing we'll survive that too...Shssh that dam Predator Drone is scaring away my sheep again CHEERS!..

[Ellektrikaa]

@MrIndianSupporter youre a racist

[MrIndianSupporter]

I am a racist and I learn to hate only after coming to fucken North America. Whites taught me to hate.

[foxwilliammulderx]

@MrIndianSupporter I hear you. I am tring to un-learn that though. The sick irony is, my best friend is white, my hero Rod Serling is white and even FRICKIN' OZZY is WHITE. The question is this; why am I a racist? Hell even I am part white. Being tolerent to whites is like being gay and not wanting to come out of the closet.

[faithinjesus]

I saw some Native stand-up, to go through the hardest and make others smile takes a true warrior.

[methanedirigible]

All white Americans should get off Native land immediately! Just leave - you have no right to the land in which you live.

And here in Europe, we don't want you back. You're bad for the planet.

[MrIndianSupporter]

Whites in America are the descendants of the street people the Europeans got ride off when they were cleaning their cities and towns. The strong made it across the ocean to work for the wealthy Europeans who invested in stealing the natural resources of Turtle Island.

[limitup58]

@MrIndianSupporter If your talking about Turtle Island a small island in Lake Erie what was worth stealing?

Turtle island consists primarily of clay and gravel.

who would want that?

[Ellektrikaa]

@MrIndianSupporter they were teh poorest of the poor. These were desperate times in Europa

[SiFi2012]

to all my natives keep being G

[milkman52879]

I'm a white man from IN, where there are virtually no natives left. I moved to ND for a year to go to school and lived between 2 reservations. What I saw there shocked me. Native Americans have every right to hate whites. I hope they know that there are many of us whites who will stand with them in the fight to right the wrongs of the oppression they have endured for centuries. I'm not trying to be an Indian, I just hope to one day be at peace with them and learn from one another.

[limabeing]

thanks

[MrIndianSupporter]

Very well said.

[soniac1960]

get over it aztec where since mid evil times that the truth.

[1jesuswalks3]

YOU JUST MADE URSELF SOUND STUPID..

[foxwilliammulderx]

@1jesuswalks3 As stupid as believing in Jesus?

[SiFi2012]

this shit is real im a native american an im really livin the lifestyle of poverty white are chosen over indians were at the bottem of the food chain

[milkman52879]

I'm a white guy from Indiana and I've witnessed what you speak of 1st hand. You speak the horrible truth that so few are aware of.

[SinnFein4ever]

Trudell's right.

And juanmart990 is an idiot.

DONT TRUST ANYONE WHO ISNT ANGRY. ~ John Trudell

So right.. AIM forever.

[juanmart990]

John Trudell is full of shit and so are u. this country will be here LONG after you are

[mamarainbow]

No Man, You are full of s--T. John Trudell is a visionary. He sees and speaks the truth.

[juanmart990]

John trudell is a drug addict who uses scare tactics on weak minded individuals like yourself. anyone who believes anything he says is an idiot.

[mamarainbow]

Some people are so blind to what is really happening and they call people who do see idiots. Some have eyes to see the truth and ears to hear the truth and some do not. Sorry, but you don't get it

[juanmart990]

u just made as much sense as that fool trudell. Glad to see he is having such as positive effect on u

[mamarainbow]

Actually, he has a very positive affect on me. Maybe you need to get your own head straight.

[juanmart990]

my head is as straight as it gets. This guy is so full of shit, its disgusting. I almost feel sorry for u

[MiamiIndianTribe]

remember when your father gave you your first dress?

[juanmart990]

Im glad to see its this easy to prove what a bunch of idiots you all are. REAL good comeback!

[Sliepnir2006]

It is nice to hear the truth spoken with such clarity, good luck with the movement, it is long gone time the ignorance against the genocide that was committed by the European invaders was acknowledged.

I hope you get stronger and form stronger alliances and friendships, but there is a lot of work to be done.

[Anoek1970]

Thank god someone speaks out and tells us the unfortunate true story about what we really feel and want to say.. thanks for your good spirit John. A white woman with a heart for all people.

[acerb45666555]

in north america, the Second Dark Ages began in Plymouth Rock,1622.  two things tried to push back the ignorance of these dark ages........the Hippie Generation! and American Indian Movement!!

[acerb45666555]

Scandal !!!>>>>>Thunder Bay, Ontario. white teacher forcibly cuts hair of Nishnabe boy. the kid was preparing for a traditional festival. how dare that teacher play the old missionary game!! i want that redneck teacher fired immediately!!

[whitecastle1990]

ha ha

i doubt that the spirt of THE PEOPLE

was ever weak!!

i kno my people was just as strong

as back when AIM first started

[permacultureli]

Let us now proceed to learn to be ONE, and to banish separatism. Let us survive to move one to Unity and to Cooperation and Respect...to Oneness.

[jomesias]

@permacultureli We are already One anyways ;) lets just get rid of these money hungry politicians AND PUT OUR GOALS OURSELVES AS CITIZENS FOR POLITICIANS TO EXECUTE. its really simple, but nothing is simple when it comes to politics and money ;)

[Belladonna013]

It was an almost genocide. It is sickening for me to think of this. I love the Native peoples and thank the Creator that the Natives are still here. I have tears in my eyes. I cry for the Natives killed. I cry for the Natives alive who are struggling for their identities. John, stay strong. Keep making these video's and reaching out to people.

Blessings.

Lauren

[milkman52879]

The only thing about your comment I would disagree with is the "almost" part. It is absolutely genocide and it's still occurring today. Our government pushed Natives into the least bountiful portions of the country in most cases, stripped them of resources, polluted their lands, and now holds them under an oppressive thumb as if they are waiting for the rest of them to die. We are highly hypocritical to criticize the Nazis, the situation in Darfur, etc because we are guilty of the same crime.

[Meena4201]

@milkman52879 I agree, & you can still see the effects of what happened in the past today. People in Asia, Africa, & the America's, were wrongly oppressed for wealth, & religion. Genocide, slavery, the loss of culture, & language. I myself sometimes wonder what my ancestors real names were. That said, because so much was lost, I find myself reading a lot of books about what life was like before the arrival of Europeans. By the way, I do believe there are good people from all races.

[milkman52879]

Well I'm glad to hear that, but I know from personal experience that many Native Americans hate white people, or at least won't welcome us into an inner circle, and I don't blame them. I just wish there was some way to facilitate communication because I think there's a lot we could learn from each other.

Also, I think in the very near future that all people who aren't rich will be persecuted by the ruling class, regardless of race, religion, etc, so we're all going to be in the same boat.

[djk28161]
