  • Did this film ever get out? It needs to it's profound and needs to get out there. I am white but I agree with the purpose of this film. There is a gross misrepresentation of history which needs to be exposed. People with good hearts wlil hear this.

  • No Native American who is educated (knows what is going on) would become a Christian. Who do u think the remnants mentioned in Revelation are? In old testament chapter of Malachi a message 2 Native Americans about being purified by fire is there. It is mandatory for all Native Americans 2 be atheists. Think it is all nonsense. Read about the time machine in Malachi. Write chemtrails conspiracy n above search box.

  • How can so much people believe in churches and priesters if we know how tragical things have been done in the name of christianity in the whole world?! I'm from Latvia and our people also belived in Mother earth and other spirits, we had very much symbols like your great nation have. And we also couldn't pry our Gods - we had to turn to christians. Our family didn't - we don't believe in churches and we feel very close to your people - the true owner of your land. . You're adorable...

  • I want to help so bad.

  • @MagicalOillusions Then spread the message that not all Lakota's smoke, drink or do drugs. There are many of us who have pursued and been successful in our college education and are working to empower our Lakota youth. There are many good things and beautiful things to talk about unfortunately most of the time we are portrayed in a negative manner. Help stop stereotypes.

  • very nice well produced work... i love the music i love the message and i love the people... thank you

  • Buffalo herds are hard to contain. they run over or thru whatever is in the way. The only way buffalo will come back in huge numbers is when many of the farms will not be needed. That would mean a huge depopulation of the world. The american farmer feeds the world as it is now. I wish I had been around to see a herd of a milion buffalo. Awsome animal . I believe the buffalo will return in large numbers one day.

  • i just dont get it that anyone would love Christ (....and i do...so i do expect the usual amount of VERY negative comments)...and then do so much damage to others...LOVE AND RESPECT is what should have been given to all indigious people....love and respect...and " hey you have so much that we need to learn and understand...can we learn from you.?"...God does not force himself on anyone...that is the doing of men.. the wrong doings of men

  • Comment removed

  • dixied, youre just a spoiled little asshole, im from northern europe, and this mcdonalds western world is bit by bit taking my countrys culture and patriotism away. I like Native Americans and read some books about most greedy and scumbagish things you did to Seminole tribe

  • watching this makes me hate being cechu but i am mother to 3 lakota babies and please dont call them half breeds because we love with native hearts...... try to understand how hard it is to be a cechu mom. I want my chillyz to be accepted!

  • Conquer anyone who is not christian?....wow thats quite a decree Columbus came with.

    Fucking christian scumbags.

  • oxbakushin90 - I ask you, how can one make it better when there is only grass and grasshoppers to eat? No fuel for the stove for heat. Will you provide it? No! It is much easier to say how we should make it better. You can not speak about somewhere you have not been, kola. Your words mean well, but they are meaningless. You try and speak with wisdom but they are only words. Try and eat your knowledge and see if it makes the pain in the belly go away when you are hungry.

  • One way or the other, the Lakotah will have to live from their own land. That can be by bringing wild or domestic cattle in, or it can be by growing crops in the open, or indeed it can be by building sheltered crop fields under glass. The other option is quite difficult and you`d be dependable: building a manufacturing export industry to trade for food.

    When there is will, lots must be possible. There grows grass ? Then you might have cattle or farmed crops. If not, life is not possible there.

  • Even where I am to get land from the local council to grow enough for a family has been fought for... it is not only necessary for local independence from what is coming... it is necessary. Your thought is not focussed . Friedman's economic policy and Rand philosophy of what you state... will not work

  • Here's how to make money off the white man and be more than self-supporting. Reestablish the buffalo herds and charge the white man to hunt buffalo. There are plenty of white hunters who would pay big money to hunt buffalo and get almost a years woth of meat or so. Negotiate with other tribes and the white man and put buffalo overpasses over highways so the buffalo can migrate and graze. May be big money in it, charging the white hunters to hunt buffalo, plus keep plenty of meat yourself.

  • wouldnt that just reduce tha buffalo population even lower.

  • "wouldnt that just reduce tha buffalo population even lower."

    Nah, not when there is money to be made. The original peoples would be breeding buffalo like the white man breeds cattle. There'd be buffalo, buffalo, nothing but buffalo. And the white man would be paying big buck$ to hunt them. Think about it, the reason deer have come back from the brink of extinction is because white hunters wanted deer to hunt. They'd pay to hunt buffalo and the tribes could make a fortune.

  • although this may sound like a good idea, and is possible in some ways, bufallo overpasses OVER highways? now that sounds far fetched...

  • The plight of the peoples of the American peoples at the hand of the empire builders. They have never understood the voices of crickets or the smell of the dew. To them it has never been belonging to the earth but the earth belonging to them.

    Your people have great wisdom which may see you through the coming storm, for storm there will be.

    Prevail in peace, courage and strengt to you all.

  • America has to face the truth - that the lakota people always were/still are prisoners of war.

    Hoka hey Eli!

  • A very wise man.

  • in the modern times ,the balance of intellect and intuition has been lost.this imbalance has separated us from our sisters and brothers,

    the winged ones, the four-legged, those that crawl, and those that swim. it has separated us from the elements and from our great earth

    mother. even by us in germany.mitakuye oyasin

  • Evil succeeds when good men do nothing. Thats why we have to continue to fight against the attrocities and abuses that still go on. All honor to Eli Tail for his TRUTH.

  • Christians ruin pretty much everything.

  • @whineybtch If someone is destructive and doesn't love people, he/she is not a true Biblical Christian.

  • @whineybtch Not true Christians....its the individual misunderstanding the nature of the bible. Each religion or form of prayer has its number of followers who do not conduct themselves in the right way, so it makes the way or religion look bad, when we should be looking at that person or group.

  • Only in remembrance, does redemption lie.

  • No reason to get excited

    The thief he kindly spoke

    There are many here among us

    Who feel that life is but a joke but uh

    But you and I weve been through that

    And this is not our fate

    So let us not talk falsely now

    The hours getting late... purple haze. jimmy hendrix, another oppressed! for the color of skin

  • life

    depending of the lie, now in this society, the truth is in you(discernement,lotsa info and experiences needed), but if u cant answer the best question and most basic one's, has well has the opposite. its easy to see who you are. i cant answer a question about botany, but i keep on learning it now! best tool, internet!

  • i was a white guy before, now since ive learned to listen, i got reason. ive listen to john trudell, chief seattle(noah sealth),crasy horse, and so many philosophy and now i know. i know that the best way to live and let live is the human way. now im sorry for those others who dont understand.. i sorry for that colombus. alias the virus who came from water and wind! thank you for letting me know who i can be! im with ya. even if its mean to be called a savage. i know who i am and im human again

  • Everywhere I hear the same thing - evil people using the name of Jesus just to suit their own rotten ends. Jesus came to set us free -not to own and control us. The Spirit of our Father is a great blessing through Christ - yet evil, blind or ignorent men use His name to control everything. Few see the truth and many are fooled by the lies. God is Love, light and truth. Jesus said "I am in my Father and my Father is in me", and this is how we should be, through the Fathers Son. Love - Peace.

  • support Lakotah independence!!!!

  • YouTube can be a powerful weapon in the fight against injustice issues. It can reach the four corners of the globe and bring awareness, which in turn can bring support. If we make friends with good people around the globe, in every country, and send them these kind of good videos, then we can create better awareness, which most newspapers and TV does not show.

  • "Beautifully said."

    Much love my friend!!

  • really great and importend vid!!! 5*

  • the truth is long overdue.....

  • Wonderful clip! The truth needs to be revealed!

  • this was very informative to watch

  • Touching film...when I have money I will definitely buy it. I will spread the word.

    If everyone who is aware of this terrible situation would tell everyone they know...then maybe change will come even faster.

    Thank you for sharing.

  • Awesome, very interestin' vid, tlazcamati for sharin'!

  • When all humans recognize that neocortex man is an expression of the Divine Stewardship of the planet, no matter how it expresses itself, they will come to understand that the stone that had been tossed aside now becomes the cornerstone of planetary existence. We are not far from there now. Each part of us has relevence and value in the face of God. Each one had a task to perform. Respecting the task is what has been missing.

  • And all honor to you too Jim for the good work that you do for Lakota Nation. Your videos are the best!

  • Thank you for sharing this with me ~*~

  • Check out The Warriors Ride too. Another great dvd in honor of Crazy Horse.

  • GREAT VIDEO!!

  • I am a friend of Eli Tail and he only speaks the truth. He is a true leader. A good man...a hola man. All honor to you Eli. John

  • Stunning! A definate eye opeing video!

  • Share this with all your friends...like I

    Love and Hugs from LaReinaWilleke

  • Truth. Hope. Faith.

    Great video.

    I'm with you, brothers.

    Love.

  • This is a fantastic video. It tells the truth.

  • 1 day we will all realize that nothing lasts but Truth n Love. Down with deceptive Greed. A time is coming when things will be recompensed.

  • I have heard of a tribe not taking any government money, in New England, no Casino either. Their view is that casinos "kill the people." And as far as the money goes, they don't want it, because they don't want a counter-obligation from the government.

  • This dvd is well worth buying. It tells the TRUTH.

  • MUSKIEPAT not trying to break your spirit. in fact, just by the comments ive heard so far i already have far more respect for your people than most natives in canada. peace

  • I challenge anyone to find a Lakota on the REZ sucking on the "Billion Dollar Tit". They still think they can break our spirit.

  • Sweetie..the Lakota have gone thru so much. but break their spirit? Not a chance! I am Lakota and I am very proud of my heritage and there's nothing this white govn't can take away from me!

  • MsCharamut1969, You are absolutely right! HOKA!!

  • I wish i could learn your language. p.s. Stupid people will celebrate 4 july forever. Hate this holiday.

  • the most common misconception of american indians is that they are all "sucking the billion dollar tit"... most of them are haha...but the oglala lakota dont...we don't have shit...other tribes have casinos but we dont....

  • U killed their ancestors, you feed niggers, so you will give money to lacota, u idiot. :) Lacota didnt ask you to come over and kill them.

  • hey no racist comments here or i will delete you.

    what are you even talking about??

  • how is the financial situation for natives in the states? In canada, the government has given hundreds of billions to native people but they still claim to be oppressed. Imagine sucking at a billion dollar tit,paying no taxes,and still claiming to be a victim! i don't know or judge natives in the states but in canada a lot of them are like spoiled children  [yet full of pride] but not proud enough to let go of the tit

  • Are we not doing the same genocide across the world but with a different name. Why are we in places that does not belong to us and then we lie and we say we are there for liberation. Genocide is genocide no matter where and when. Policy makers are bunch of liers and they claim they care. If they care let them live like the avereage citizen. NN

  • and i saw this video and tears came to my eyes, i feel so bad for ur and the other nations mistreatment, i wish for ur breakaway to have much success

  • I enjoyed this vid'.

  • Congratulations! May we will survive free without colonial capitalists trying to control our lives. May they get what they deserve.

  • there will never be a chance for truth from the invaders.

    as now all true americans can see they punish all who are not under their rule.

    a great questions are on the horizon of the remaining noble natives My heart is full for our sorrows.

  • may I ask why you would post advertisement on a forum of this nature? I find it very disrespectful.

  • who and what are you talking about?

  • I was gonna say that Jim boy. lol

  • I am sorry I can not find or recall the reason for my post - I lost my husband indirectly due to the Canadian West Coast Indian Residential system - it has been 30 years and I still grieve and our son that never lived. I meant no disrespect to you. I am caucasion but lived with the racism and hatred nonetheless - my heart is with you.

  • may I ask why you would post advertisement on a forum of this nature? I find it very disrespectful.

  • Can't wait to see more this trailer is great!

    Keep us posted.

    Thank-you

  • well the ppl who make the laws never follow them-

  • Great but sad video. I know the truth; same has happened to the Moorish conquered by the Islam and now the Tibetan, the last free people of the Dalai Lama are being destroyed, just like all the Native American. Yuo're such a beautiful people!!! Keep up your spirit and culture!!!!

  • native pride to all tribes, keep are chins up and chests out while walking tall forever as the grass grows and wind blows..

  • this looks good! is it out already? well thanks for posting the trailer, cant wait to see. nothing but love.

  • I had the pleasure of previewing this film in one of my college classes, and it was an absolutely wonderful documentary. I think everyone needs to see this film and get an education on this part of our country's history. I have nothing but great things to say about the film.

  • To the Great Lakota People, my heart is with you and I love you my brothers and sisters..Native Pride Forever..!!

  • Slowly the world is learning of the treachery and brutality towards the Native American. You must never forget what happened to your people,but you must forgive. Work to the day when one of your own will become President, and the world will for the first time see the true United States

  • Hello and thanks to everybody who have watched this trailer and for the comments and emails from all over the world.

    The film has been delayed until fall, perhaps end of summer (hopefully)

    In the meantime, I will put up some more clips ASAP

    WOPILA

  • Thanks for sending this, Walkingbear56. Grand human tragedy this whole experience. What do think should be done?

  • Thats right the u.s doesnt follow its own laws... Lakota Pride Sicangu Oyate....

  • spring of 2007 is here, would love to see all the footage you have. fyi im a cree indian from northern saskatchewan, i think native veiws are extremely simalar in alot of different areas. i have been traveling throughout canada to capture these veiws on tape. i have also been working on a project to help the world see things from native eyes. glad to see you moving in the right direction. the world should know what REALLY happned

  • NateAderso, its ok, no offense taken. We all live and learn and have our own views. You sound like a good man. Im sure your heart is in the right place so I honor you for that my friend. All the best: John

  • I'm not trying to offend anybody either. I'm sorry If I did. I'm not trying to promote hatred or killing. I know that I got carried away with things that don't matter. Once again I apologize.

  • Thanks RiverBirch1967. Walk in love my friend. John

  • This looks rather good... will it be closed-captioned for the hearing-impaired?

  • Hey, whats with all the arguments about races, hatred and killing? Maybe if people were to concentrate on our similarities intead of our differences then more respect for each other could be born. It's about time we learned from each other and live as a human race instead of continued judging and arguing. There's enough badness in the world as it is without making matters worse for each other. Just my point of view guys. I dont mean to offend anybody.

  • Excellent comment. I was freaking out and then you came forth with a voice of reason. (hugs for that)

  • this is why so many people in midwestern america Are Evengelical Lutheran or Episcapalian. I'm not saying that scandinavians are bad people. But you shouldn't try to distance youre people from the responsibility. In south it mostly Scottish immigrants that did the killing. And English immigrants who killed so many in the east. But Scandinavians had a lot to do with the killing in the midwest.

  • All races of white men stuck to their own back than. Varrius skirmishes where had between the Natives and Militias of Scandinavian settlers. Many of the Farms in the Midwest are owned by large familys with scandinavian last names. Even if the Indians in that area wheren't all killed by Scandinavians than they where killed for the sake of scandinavian immigrants so that they can have their farms.

  • Scandinavian immigrants did just as much killing as anybody else. It's Anderson here because many changed their names when they came here. Like andersson to anderson and svenson to swanson and so forth. Many in the Midwest (North Dakota, Montana, and Minnasotta) where scandinavian immigrants where tired of the conflict going on with russia. I thought that was why sweden has a neutrality policy now because so many people migrated to america.

  • My point DeathSephiroth. is they still hate you. They assume white men have no culture but we do. Our values are just much different from theirs. Their values revolve around wisdom, whil ours revolve around power and security. It would be nice we could all get along and combine our values. But there are to many closed fists on both sides. And closed fists cant hold hands.

  • Hey Hey hey

    this film is not about hate!!

    It is about the truth!! It is meant to EDUCATE not HATE

    You have inspired me to put up another clip from the film..will do so shortly...thank you pilamaya

  • your right and I apologize. I got into it with someone else and was venting here. It was inapropriate and I'm sorry.

  • Norse people have kind of a history of killing and stealing.

  • Death sephiroth. do you realize that so many masacres of indians in the midwest where done by Swedish immigrants or descendants of swedish immigrants who moved to america because of those wars with russia. I know this cause my great grandfather Olaf Anderson was one of them.

  • I am moved by this more than I can articulate here. Please let me know when this documentary is complete and if/where I'll be able to see it in New York City. Thank you so much! Peace.

  • thank you for the nice comment. i am almost done with a final edit, I hope! Then hopefully won't take so long to get out there. Don't know if NYC would be interested. If you have any ideas, would love to hear them

    thank you again

  • I found this as I was researching and planning for a mission/ work trip to the RE-MEMBER outreach project in Pine Ridge, SD for later this year. Please let us know when this documentary is ready so we can learn more.

  • we know some folks at RE-Member...good people. Just finished editing the film so hopefully available soon. Not quite sure yet. Will post some more clips very soon. thank you very much.

  • A hau Thats Good Fools Crow he led by Example  An intelligent mind looks for that in a leader He said all i have done you can do to WastaDo

  • amazing video... utterly cannot believe the content of people arguing here... we are all connected. lets help each other... important not to repeat mistakes of the past but to learn from them and as Frank Fools Crow said... "walk hand in hand to face the future"

  • Hua Btltez Standing Bear its Good you know of him in reality it set a precident that other Races of man were human also he was a Spirit Warrior for All humans!! thanksfor this forum You read j M Marshall 3rd T J O Crazy Horse?

  • the courage of Standing Bear should be taught in all schools, but alas, like most great NDN stories and people and contributions to this society and history, it is sadly ignored. Of all the great, precident setting court trials in the history of our ''justice'' system, how can this one not even be known?? Makes me so sad and angry.

    Yes I have read Journey of CH...good book

  • A HAU how can Nateral human beings respect a book that contradicts itself and use that as thier verifacation the spiritualy needy they make up for it by being greedy! white is a concept not a color people call them self white look at trial of standing bear he proved he was a human being if a person is human they understand all colors are sacred the elder who spoke knows something! we have a prayer all my relations Pedoma Ya Do KODA!

  • STANDING BEAR IS A PERSON...great point, great story...how many americans have even HEARD the story of Standing Bear?? not many. Shame.

  • Hello, my name is John Foxjohn and I loved the video. You should check mine out, Journey of the Spirit. I have a novel coming out in April. It is a historical fiction about Crazy Horse.

  • thank you. i will check yours out. Did you ever read ''Stone Song'' by win blevins?? an historical fiction about Crazy Horse as well. Great book. Let me know about your book when out. What is it called?

  • No, I don't believe I have read Stone Song. I thought I had read most things about Crazy Horse. I need to find it. My book is titled, Journey of the Spirit and should be out April 21th.

    My next one is going to be about the Wounded Knee.

  • Excellent video! It is about time that people knew the TRUTH of what life is really like on Pine Ridge, and the atrocities which forced the Lakota Nation into this poor life-style. Well done kola! Tunkasila nici un.

  • Excellent. Mitakuye Oyasin

  • im native and im christian... what people need to realize both native and white is that they were NOT doing the will of christ... they used christs name to get their way and used His name to justify their actions...there is no excuse for that... but yes tell me when this comes out please? and if possible can u get a hold of it an dpost it. i would love to see it. im not Lakota im Cauyga(Iroquois) but i realy want to see it.thanx ALOT for posting i appreciate it.

    ~Alie~

  • AHO.

  • What I hope we all remember is that there are good white people... I am one. None of my friends growing up believed the John Wayne movies or Hollywood.

    I went to Pine Ridge and rosebud alone on a motorcycle to be part of making a difference.

    The GREEDY are the ones we need to point towards, the Real Estate land barons, and slave drivers...and killers for power and wealth... conquering in the name of false realities, and greed. make a difference.

    i can only say I am trying.

  • I cannot wait for this to come out. I almost cried when they were talking about killing and enslaving all of the "enemies of Christ". To think this country CELEBRATES Columbus Day...

    Beautiful.

  • thank you, we need more films like this.

  • thank you, we need more films like this.

  • Can't wait!! Good Work!!

  • Oh and the EBTs and free college education, and wheels and horses... don't mention it guys. I just wish I could give you more of my paycheck.

  • what?? what does that mean?

  • Keep your ignorance to yourself, you idiot. Don't speak for all of us.

  • There ya go dipshit, way to prove me wrong.

  • I'm White, not Indian, you dumbass. But unlike you, I'm aware of reality. Don't bother responding to this comment; you aren't worth any more of my time.

  • some people are just ignorant, white, middle class spoiled brats who have no idea what poverty, cultural genocide, ethnic cleansing, and true U.S. Government corruption really is. But, they sure know what racism is. This person is obviously someone who is so bigoted and ignorant they have no idea. Yeah, right, Indians get free college education. And your paycheck. I would like to drop you off on a reservation, you might just wake up, asshole.

  • Mwahahaha! Tell him!!

  • oh hell yea!!! you tell him... and as for u joybehar you wouldnt survive on any rez in north america... we dont take kindly to ignorance. the only way you would survuve is if you have the U.S. government right behind you with soldiers with loaded guns against my un-armed people...or at least thats how its done according to any racist white power loser...yunno? thats REALY the only way they've gotten their way... by having no shame.

  • "Don't bother resonding to this comment because I don't actually have anything substantial to say." I'm not white, not indian.. in case someone gives a shit. You're a smart one.

  • Great ! I like to see the full documentary !

    Mitakuye Oyassin..
