  • i did and i dont blame other races for what happened to my people

    i blame all races including ourselves

    im not gonna dump my problems on others

    yes i realized settlers came over 300 years ago and fucked stuff up...yes i realize, even in this modern day the shitty reservations we live on arent being taking care of and yes i realize they wanted us to assimilate

    but i also realize its not a "races" fault its the governments which is made up of all races and religions

  • WHAT Happened to Joe Killsright??? I have been searching every way I can to find out! I emailed the man that made this documentary, which was filmed 28 yrs ago.. I can't believe its been 28 yrs!

  • Church kills us, it's a mind changer just like alcohol and drugs.

  • why don't we, natives, just show other races what it is to be native!

  • @retrohippie I understand your point but I mean they became dependent of the Europeans and had no free space to advance in their own way. Hundreds of their cultures are gone or almost gone as a result of violence. Maybe that's all history but at least they should get more help in the present to keep their way of life in stand instead of letting them hang on the lowest rung of society.

  • @mylozuud What the hell are you talking about? Are you trying to say that Native Americans should have stopped advancing as soon as the Europeans arrived? The guy would obviously love to have electricity, if you can tell.

    People are going to dress however they want to....

    If you want to dress in traditional Native attire they can......but most people dress to the timeline it is.

    Religions is a choice as well.

    Think about what you're saying....

  • O yea.. and the worst thing is that they go to christian church. Like: yea white americans don't give a fuck about you but their white God defonately does. Give these Indians their land an life back!

  • It is said to see how americanized these indians are:o Their own culture is beautiful but now they all dress like hillbillys and cowboys. The documentary maker is also a stupid fuck. Asking what year is it? Why should everyone use electricity. Electricity is the thing that fucks a lot up in this world. If the Indians got the space from the white people to develop and keep up there own culture they would still live good now and not in these fucked up cercomstances. btw im white nd from europe

  • Why always americans try to show indians as people who drink too much or use drugs?! In every nation there lot of people who drink or use drugs and they are not just poor people!

  • @mellyvel1 Please, don't fuck all white people - just that who really were or still are that bad ones. Our country also suffered so much bad things from Staļins but we don't blame all russians... And believe me I do care about your people , your wonderful nation. I try to find out more and more so I can tell to my pupils something else than is written in history books. So they can understand things from other side and see what a great people you were and still are...

  • @brownangeleyes1972 do you really think that they are helping ppl in iraq!!???? they are not. the goverment are killing those people. the goverment does not help people. the goverment kills people. america started with killing native americans and bringing slaves over here. wat cuntry do we live in??? and you are right. i voted for obama and hiss ass better do something about that

  • @JSornon1 understand you,but thier are so many Good ppl in the world. im sorry that you had a messed up childhood. i stay in the south. and there is alot of racism towards my family and mexcans, ect ( havent seen any indians :( but i feel that indains are not the only victims, we should all cometogether and be as one and help each other out. buy the way im african american but my grandma is native american. so i understand. good luck
