My grandpa is Adam Fortunate Eagle, and boy does he have some incredible stories of what happened. Him and my grandma were even targeted by the fbi and were named enemies of the state in California, even to this day LOL.
The sass of these actors are on point. Love it.
Native Americans really got it bad in our nation's history. So many broken promises.
I aspire to be that petty
They should have just let the native americans keep it. They were putting it to better use anyways.
Shoutout to Adam Beach, Zahn McClarnon, Q'orianka Kilcher and Dallas Goldtooth for their amazing performance <3
Glad they covered this! Another piece of American history that is neglected and should 100% get more recognition both in schools and media!
The national park page for Alcatraz is pretty icky when they talk about this. They ignore that the native Americans did have a legal cause to occupy the island, make them sound like they weren’t too organized (a bunch of students) and call them exclusively use the term “Indians”.
Because it’s important to keep your “petty-game” up!
"Is that a middle finger in my face?!"
"We're not going to take this out right. We're not terrible people... we'll give you 24 dollars in glass beads and some red cloth. HOWBAHDAH."
"Checked your mail? Ate some jello? Bastards." Lmao.
You legit have some real First Nations talent in here!
The lip syncs and expressions are perfect XD
Those voice overs are f'n hilarious

This gave me LIFE! We need more Native American stories like this being told! The narration and the actors were so on point 🙌🏾
I had the honour of working with John Trudell at various times in the '90s. He was very inspiring. I'll never forget his speeches and the private time with him and his family. I hope he is at peace now.
That woman is possibly the most beautiful woman I've ever laid eyes on. My lord.
24$, glass beads and some red cloth!! Best comeback I have heard of, EVER😂 I mean, it was legally theirs anyways, but I loved that part!
