Very intelligent and amazing person. I wish more people would respect his words, and the indengenous people world wide.

I am white and I have no problem saying "I hate white people and everything they represent!"

[spareaxe]

Why is he wasting time talking about supernatural BS and get on with why these representitives are there, and build a case for the people. Get over the past and start working.

I met this man once, he let 3 of my friends and I camp on his land and he showed us his buffalo and his horse. He was very welcoming and warm. I wouldn't blame him for "hating" white people, if you know anything about history, but the time I spent on his land and talking with him, I never ever got the impression that he hated anyone. I got the impression from some other people I met at Pine Ridge but not this man or his family. Thank you Alex.

@kelay2004 Hey, settle down - down all white people are bad. I'm french canadian descent and we didn't massacre indians - the british did. In fact, native americans fought alongside my ancestors against the british in the 1750s over the Ohio river valley.

He is a lovely, funny, warm human being. I loved watching and listening to him speak here. I am lucky enough to have memories of listening and speaking with him in person, on his land. It wasn't till we left his land I found out how well respected he is in the area, when we went to the Badlands. It's just over 10 years ago, I still haven't rewritten and finished the illustrations for my book he helped me to put a little closer right.

I respect this man & his family very much.

[REALAUSSIEROOSTERS]

I understand how he does not like what white people represent~I hope he can understand that there is many of us white people who do not represent bad, many of us represent a different culture and many of us may not even feel white on the inside

I don't know what this is about, but why is a Canadian company in there? South Dakota is a poor state and should get money off of their resources. If it is on reservation land, the Indians should get it. Indians are treated like second-class citizens. They probably have to carry special non-citizen identification. They are the focus of atrocity and injustice on the borders of civilization pressed by European rejects who don't deserve a home. Moto: Eploit, will travel, kill, and maim. Canada Out

@Dealz1988 I agree! His children and grandchildren will see him hating what he believes white people represent and that hate will just continue on and on, it's a cycle.
