We are 99.9% all the same and race is a social construct. They look like Indian supremacists to me talking about their land and their culture. They need to embrace multiculturalism and stop being so racist.

You can help them through prayer... but first you must help yourself and open your heart to the Great Spirit, and become one with the Flow of the Spirit...then, He will guide you upon your path to help the the earth and its peoples, including the great Lakota nation ! Perhaps, you was already there not so long ago...as one of the Bird Tribes people, as was I, and a minority of other spiritual warriors who came to protect the ways of the culture against those of the white man, who has brought devastation to the earth, and to the spiritual energies in beyond. Now the tide turns, as karmic reactions bring great changes, so be prepared for these Dyslexic Girl, for much will be demanded of those are willing and able to serve the Great Spirit! Aho!
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and style to all. Peace and harmony.
i am humbly inspired by this story. i hope to see more people like this in person
I found this while I was doing a project. It was very interesting. Thank you.
Great video thank you great big story for sharing this
I love the black hills. I've gone through them several times and can't get enough. But if it meant the Lakota people could have their land back, I'd be willing to give up seeing them ever again.

What is the difference between Yankton Sioux and I Lakota
A sacred place before the Lakota adopted it, for it was known amongst many tribes as a sacred place, and as a precious gift from the Great Spirit and Great Mystery. Now he reveals His Wisdom to those who beseech him with pure souls, and who arorn their spiritual garments with the humble desire to serve Him once again, but make haste, for the time of retribution is almost upon us..and is it not the doom of men...that they forget.. Thus, let us awaken every day, in joy and reverence, for the precious gift of life given us long ago by the Creator, and awaken the way of the Lakota and of the spirit once more, lest we be found unworthy and wanting, and thereby removed from His beautiful garden of abundant fruits, that was for our benefit, not His. AHO!
The Lakota took the Black Hills from the Cheyenne in the 18th century who in turn had taken it from the Kiowa. To say it's the origin of the Lakota people is ridiculous.

Preserving culture & people is so important. I am all support & respect for the native Indians who were here before the white men came. This land was taken away from them. Today they are left with so little. Yet this very act is appalling to some narrow-minded Americans who believe they have the God-given right to be in this land first. They forget they were immigrants too. Learn the history and exercise compassion. Please do not remain ignorant forever. We have a lot to learn to live together in harmony, peace & respect of each other.

I wonder if the Sioux will ever pay the Pawnee, Shoshone, and Crow tribes for the land they stole from them or the damages their warriors caused those tribes when they raided and murdered their people Such as the massacre at Massacre Canyon Nebraska where over 100 Pawnee (mostly Women and children) were massacred by Sioux warriors who would have massacred 300 more of a nearby US cavalry regiment hadn’t heard the fighting and came to the Pawnee’s rescue So forgive me not no. I’m not sorry for these pork and I don’t think we should pay them a billion dollars or a million dollars or even a single penny on top of the billions we subsidize their existence with through the BIA every single year

The tide begins to turn now, as nature brings karmic reactions to those who follow the ways of the white man. The ways of Lakota begin to return, even on the res, through good initiatives, but soon the land will be free to them again like before, but first the prophecies come true, as the earth and nature rebels against the path of falsehood. So become seeing by offering your life to the Great Spirit, then come to know of your tribes ways through truth and wisdom given from the great beyond and Great Mystery, who reveals Himself and His Ways to those who can surrender their fears, and tear out and proffer up their hearts to Him before the midday sun, for true service to the Almighty Father and the Divine Will, which daily reveals its wrath at the ways of the white man, which as you say, left its indelible wounds upon the Lakota way of life, and all but severed the connection with the spiritual ways of this once proud and noble nation. I know... for I was there !!! Now let us rejoice...for the time and return of the Bird Tribes beckons once again. Aho!!!
Lmao.. the Lakota stole this land from the cheyenne. What kinda BS is this?
