The United States is one big reservation, and we are all in it. So says Russell Means, legendary actor, political activist and leader for the American Indian Movement. Means led the 1972 seizure of the Bureau of Indian Affairs headquarters in Washington, D.C., and in 1973 led a standoff at Wounded Knee, South Dakota, on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, a response to the massacre of at least 150 Lakotah men, women, and children by the U.S. Seventh Cavalry at a camp near Wounded Knee Creek.

American Indian Russell Means gives an eye-opening 90 minute interview in which he explains how Native Americans and Americans in general are all imprisoned within one huge reservation. Means is a leader for the Republic of Lakotah, a movement that has declared its independence from the United States and refused to recognize the authority of presidents or governments, withdrawing from treaties it made with the federal government and defining its borders which cover thousands of square miles in North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Wyoming, and Montana.

Means explains how American Indians have been enslaved within de facto prisoner of war camps as a result of the federal government's restriction of their food supply and the application of colonial tactics, a process that has now also been inflicted on the United States as a whole which has turned into, "one huge Indian reservation," according to Means.

Means warns that Americans have lost the ability of critical though, and with each successive generation become more irresponsible and as a consequence less free, disregarding a near-perfect document, the Constitution, which was derived from Indian law. Means chronicles the loss of freedom from the 1840's onwards, which marked the birth of the corporation, to Lincoln's declaration of martial law, to the latter part of the 19th century and into the 20th when Congress "started giving banks the right to rule," and private banking interests began printing the money.

  • my people of the WOMPANOAG tribe need natural leaders like this,MASSACHUSETTS recognises us as natives but the GOVT doesnt.. as well we have our own land, own govt, police etc, but under US law

  • @kamalakrsna DR MAX GERSON also supports this and found cures for many DIS-EASES, as well as CANCER

  • Hi... as a monk... I am glad to know that he is into the vegetables for food-not so much eating dead animal bodies. & it was sadly funny when he mentions "I guess its too profound for Americans" ? The mystic law of cause & effect needs to be the basis of all thoughts/words/actions. I think he is saying that... in his own way. There is no 'free' thing in the universe... if you take the money...you take the karma... multiplied 4 to 10 fold... it is a fundamental 'way' of the universe.

  • I tried to watch this video but it will not play past 0:01:57. I will exit the page and try to watch it again.

  • What saddens me is the low numbers of views. More people around this world need to watch this.

  • Today I got sick? I have not been sick for about 3 years. I found thid video and watched the entire show. It was a blessing even though I felt bad. Our US nation is sick, I pray it gets better, but I doubt it. Way too many people doing nothing. Today you have to be a rightous protester. Russell is RIGHT ON. He is like me, he don't LIE. We have told some many lies, we have been brain washed. we will lose our freedom unless you join the Missiouri Republic. You tube it and learn.

  • What a fantastic documentary.

    (Standing ovation from me anyway)

    What a shame it's only been viewed 346 times.

    Well Done!

  • Thank you for making this, I hope more people watch it.

  • You are more than awesome. Thanks for the great and also sobering information.
