I had no idea these things happened, and I'm glad this story is being told.Children need love and acceptance, not cruelty.

I am LAKOTA

I come from strong blood

I believe this video to be very informal to why this is the way we are. I am of a young generation, who is looking for answers. If I could tell you my story you would cry..I've just begun my healing. My SOBRIETY to a better life for my children and my grandchildren. This video opened my eyes even wider.Yes it's all starting to come together..I wasted the past 10 years for myself and my children, but starting right now, i'm not going to waste a minute THANKS

i liked it, it made me think..maybe thats why i acted out the way i did when i was consuming alcohol. i'm only 30, i'm finally thinking clear and focusing on breaking the cycle for my children. I'm healing now.. I was just clicking anything and bent down to pick something up, when I came back up this was playing. It caught my eye..I started watching and saw it was about lakota people and started to watch it. BLEW MY MIND OUT!! MAKES ME WANT TO BELIEVE THINGS HAPPEN FOR A REASON

@SilentSepia It's ironic that you mention god, since god was a one of the motivational forces towards destroying the native indian (as in self Identity)

Yes, something ~ IS, moving and is in the process of fast acceleration with each passing day. I am greatly encouraged by the energies fast swirling into quickening for the healing of the Lakotah along with many other similarly abused indigenous peoples worldwide. We can and we ~ Will, wing our way to greater and greater hights of achievement, on a personal as well as collective level in the none too distant future. Much love, much strength, much healing to you, my brave Lakotah !
