  • some time ago. the same (suicide) happened here (brazil) and the reason was: identity crisis. the solution: ban the missionaires, the bishops, chistian, bible... and put back the witches... the old gods... the old values, no more sin, no more money, shampoo, drugs, alchool... back to the spirit of the forest... Now the suicide is zero...

  • Damn these people need assistance, these are the people we need to be donating money to, forget eveyone else.

  • God will return to put an end to all this! There and around the world!!

  • even more blood on the hands of washington d.c.

  • As one can see, the genocide is nearly complete.

  • we always want to blame poverty as the cause and not the effect that it is. The cause of poverty is multilayered. starting with goverment policies, treaties being ingnored or just not honored at all. i've been on a reservation were they had trees and other resources but they were not allowed to take advantage of it because of goverment regulation. This is what causes poverty. LET'S STOP THE BULLSHIT

  • I can tell you waaay more than people who took everything from us then laughs, and say its depressing. Yeah its a shxthole but ur people put us here. We may be run down but come to the rez and talk shxt we still got that war party goin. Haha

  • More programs on the reservations could work wonders for all involved. There can't just be one solution to this problem because there isnt just one problem one the reservation and there is also more than one obstacle to over come. An Estimated 10,000 people live on the reservations in South Dakota. Anyone can clearly see that these numbers are small. If we can't help them now then in another twenty years these people will be almost extinct. Extinct

  • Have the school located on the reservation and basically function like a Job corps program that only trains and employs native americans only.

  • If the government actually cared one bit about this humble people they would collaborate with them to get some sort of initiative to create jobs. I believe in renewable energy and can clearly see from this video that there is a lot if empty space that could be used for wind farms and solar fields. Pine Ridge could than easily sell the power to the surrounding areas including Rapid City. Bring a school that specifically teaches these Native peoples the skills and educates them to do the job.

  • If u only knew.

  • "Why Die?" More like "Why live in this shit hole"
