I disagree with you, my comment is below, debate me on it if you can. My main point is the first photo are the Dakota men, the chiefs are wearing Garments made from Afican American slaves' labour in the South and the Islands. This conflict is the same time as the Civil war, in fact they were moved after the Civil War had begun. So, my argument, these people had for decades been enjoying the hard and often deadlly forced labour of other men. By time the mid 1850's rolled around, with high production in the south cotton, sugar, fruit, the demand for more came from the West and North. Why did the Dakots people choose to enjoy goods made from known slave labor, also they took captured wives from all over the country, why? Second, why didn't the Dakota take up arms to free these very enslaved southern blacks after hearing the news from Active Dakota Congressmen in 1861, start of the Civil War , the year before the Dakota US conflict?

@C B Your level of ignorance is astonishingly stellar it deserves an award The whole idea of male 'chiefs' was a European coating to cover up & diminish & in effect destroy a traditionally matriarchal society. The Europeans were afraid to negotiate with the Traditional Hereditary Chiefs Council which was female: Elder Grandmother Clan. Europeans lack of interest in negotiating with women is due to their LACK of knowledge & ability to do so-- due to their patriarchal programming- a convenient cover-up over their insecurity & ignorance based inadequacy & mentality. Dressing up a proud people under oppression in clown's clothing is just more of the insecure European control freaks need to cover up their idiocy. Natives and African slaves were manipulated-exploited & used for frontline infantry. The oppressor's attitude is: They're good enough to use as disposable shields in war but they can't vote nor participate in the white man's "civil" society

​ @Birgi p.m. Stop thinking all Natives were the same. Some were female lead for advice, many were male lead for warfare. Usually both. Also there wasn't 'European' even as a concept yet, there were the French, and that even split between French Merchants, the French Crown and those under The Holy Roman Empire and the Pope. Later the British and then America-not the same people at ALL. Also many native tribes wanted and abused African Slaves. It's hard to acknowledge historical truth I know, such a challenge to deeply digest and analyze basic human history. Good debate I like these interactions. If you can reach past that Academic Democrat Party KKK Propaganda and respond with something even arguably interesting I'll be happy to reply again. I'm Yucatanian Native on my mother's Great grandmother's side. And she was a leader sort of because of being female. But in Mexico for Natives, your role depended on the stars you were born under. I actually wonder how Northern Natives related to astrological leadership. I especially like these debates because I want to open native trade routes back from MY ancestral lands in Mexico to the North. But you people tend to be very prejudice and ignorant of other Natives who disagree and present other FACTS.

Therefore, it must take what is created by light and twist, warp and invert it, in order to make it their own. In order to create their Orwellian society, they MUST first destroy ALL people who know the TRUTH!! The Native Americans were people of light. They killed the adults that had all of their sacred tribal information and then stole native children and sent them to reprogramming schools, where they were stripped of their names, culture and language and forced to live lives that were NOT their own!! They tried to INTENTIONALLY wipe out ALL native people and their teachings from not only America, but ALL other countries as well. These people obviously had valuable knowledge about our past and the world in which we live, that they did NOT want the rest of society to know!!

I hold deep sorrow for all persons who have experienced trauma and oppression at the hands of tyrannical , greedy, deceptive, murderous persons of any ethnicity or backgrounds. I hope we can learn to stop warring and lift each other up in love and respect our individual cultures while at the same time realizing we are one race....human.

@35:50 - This EXACT same situation happened during the Irish "Famine", Reason for Quotes is because there was NO food Famine in Mid 1840's in Ireland - it was a Potato Crop failure (Potato Blight) which unfortunately the majority of the poor population existed on this Single Crop harvest.. However like in this Native American Docu there was also enormous Wharehouses hoarding All other type of foods and crops which were being Exported via Britain to the Continent.. In the Major Port Cities like Dublin, Cork, Belfast etc., all the Foodstuffs were Wharehoused and loaded on Ships bound for Britain and beyond however the silly Irish never captured or even tried overtaking these Towns or Areas like these Brave Native Lakota did, very strange.. I'm sure the British sent over enough Redcoats to protect Cities and the Rich Landlords and their properties..

Absolutly. Hundreds of thousands of Red Coats. They didn't like the sight of blood as it scared the women and children. They wouldn't be sending any planters would they. When I write 'They' I mean the Irish along with Brits, English, Scots and Welsh. As the Irish did have parliamentary representation. After the Irish mass murder of the agricultural planters they could be sure the Goverment would not be sending more. You can talk about biting the hand that feeds you. But the Irish Catholics murdered the hands which fed them. If you kill all the slaves who will have to do the labouring. If you kill all the hired help who will have to do all the help themselves. If you kill all the agricultural planters who will plant the crops? If all the agricultural planters are murdered and crops are not planted then when one crop fails what will replace it? If there was no crop to replace it. Who will feed the starving? Those bloody Red Coats?

I really like Dallas Goldtooth. I followed his live video feeds during that Standing Rock stand. I went there too and camped for the night. There was a full moon that night illuminating all the teepees that had their camp fire smoke coming up and making the camp smell so good. I imagined I was back in a time where these camps were living and breathing the native life. There were kids whooping their happy sounds on their horses galloping past my tent. I had so many different emotions that day, night and following day. I got to see what it was like for many nations of people coming together yet I felt the palpable wounds hanging in the air. I felt good that I could be there yet felt a deep sadness that I don't know my own ancestral connections. I felt I was welcome yet felt I wasn't by some bc of the wounds some hang tight to. I got to experience a prayer session yet I was educated by a kind elder telling me I have to be on the outer perimeter bc I had my dog with me. I felt happy he was kind enough to let me know but embarrassed that I didn't know their customs. I felt I should know more but was I intruding if I asked and would they tell me just the outer surface and never give me the truths for fear of outsiders judging or corrupting their ways. I was humbled on a new deeper level even when I thought I was already a humble person. I spent that whole trip to standing rock, then to the black hills and on through the bad lands all the while imagining what this beautiful land looked and felt like pre white man settlers coming here. It was a very uplifting road trip yet deeply saddening mixed with joy. I camped at the black hills. I was sad that the gov hijacked that area. Yet happy that I was able to be there. As I closed my eyes laying in my tent that night I had literal visions of people in the spirit world coming to me welcoming me and joyous I could see them and happy I had taken that soul journey. All the ancestors that have passed on are only joyous when we look into the truths. They aren't angry and trying to make us feel guilty and terrible for not understanding things. They just want us to heal and come together. To reach out to those even if they hold resentment in their hearts. To just pray if that's all we know to do. That's what I did up on the hill at Standing Rock. I just prayed the way I knew how. We are as a people figuring this out. It's really mostly healing your soul. A healed person recognizes another healed soul. You don't know how you will affect someone by just healing your own shit.

Land was traded for in many early cases. So land sold or traded for whilst being taken is not land stolen as it was acquired with agreedment. I think it was a common Indian joke to say when will White Men learn you can not own the land'. Many Natives were migrational tribes people living in mobile Teepees. So had very little intrest in land owership and would readily trade a valley for some thing they could carry with them as they were perpetually leaving the land. They did not forsee the arrival of a hundred million plus.

Living in the UK, in schools, absolutely none of this was taught and i really wish it was. It should be, we should be educated on what animals we as a race, actually are or have been. Time (allegedly) heals all wounds yet this shows otherwise. Natives who lived in America for generations before the blank white faces show up, literally had to white wash history as the heroes. Teach this in American schools, in depth. The only savages who existed back then, were the invaders. The ones destroying the land that had supported humanity for thousands of years. This is without a doubt one of the most educational, touching and heartbreaking documentaries I've witnessed for a long time - Thank you.

History is sadly WAY too big to all be taught. Having it mentioned is important but there are other events that would matter more to your understanding of history for your area. In the US even in college we don't really cover the War of the Roses unless it's specifically a European history course, as I'm sure in Brazil they likely only briefly mention the US Civil War. And did you watch the documentary? What could the settlers that DID think it was wrong do? They spent all their money to get there after NOT being told the area was in dispute and of the treatment of the Dakota. Assign blame where it's due but drop the broad brush.

This certainly should have been taught in our schools where we were growing up at least in Minnesota. What a travesty it wasn’t.

I grew up in a large family in Redwood Falls in the 1960s, and it was a traumatic experience because we were ostracized and bullied. We were called “filthy Indians”, screamed at, chased, had rocks that thrown at us, our car was egged, etc. As a child, I used to wonder what was wrong with us, because I couldn’t understand why people hated us. When I grew up, I realized that there was still animosity and racism in Redwood Falls towards anyone who was thought to be Indian because of the 1862 war that happened over a hundred years earlier. We did not even live on the reservation, were not part of any tribe, and may not even have any native ancestors at all….haven’t found any in the family tree or DNA.

I am a non Dakota, and it galls me to this very day that none of the history we learned in school covered this war, and what history we did have was strictly from the non Dakota viewpoint. I hale from NE Wyoming just a few miles South from the Greasy Grass/Little Big Horn River & what they call today Little Big Horn Battlefield. Also just a few miles North of the Wagon Box Fight, Fort Phil Kearney, and the Fetterman massacre. It angers me, and always has, that the Native peoples were always blamed for everything bad that happened. The whites were invading their home, and we blamed them for trying to protect their families and their homelands. The white men in those days were wrong and a good many were evil. I cried along with the people in this documentary because I'm ashamed of what my race did to all the Native Peoples from day one. The tears were also ones of happiness, for the fact that history is being patched with love and acceptance.

It reminds me of Cain and Abel. The Indians are living in harmony with the land, in tune with our Creator who had blessed them in turn and along comes Cain the man from GOD who lacked understanding and became jealous and murdered his brother. So the Earth opened her mouth and took in his blood. Cain is still confused and believes the Earth belongs to him and says GOD sent him here to claim it. I was born to parents of Irish blood but growing up I had friends who had a white father and a Tewa mother. She told me she was my other Mother and not to worry about what all those other people say we know who we are. I've never forgotten that.

@Kay Richards war's between tribes is not an excuse to take someone's land and make them slaves or assets to an corporate entity not does it make it right to take what's not yours... if someone took your job and your house and said well i won you'd be happy they did right and that makes you a loser because only losers go around taking what's not their.. even if it happened between tribes the other tribe would revenge and take it back...47 million blacks is a problem...

Im from Oklahoma, I get it. People wanna forget history......WE CANT LET THEM!!!!!!

FREE PALESTINE!!!!!!!

My ancestor, Capt A.M. Collins was there. He was part of the Militia. He left the story of the build up to the New Ulm massacre and the resulting trial and the largest mass hanging in US history. His story in a nutshell: the Indians were starving and cold and the Indian agent was a crook who refused to deliver their supplies, selling to others, or if the suppies were delivered they were moldy, moth eaten, worthless food and blankets. The tensions increased, lands were stolen repeatedly from the Indians by the government and politicians and speculators and settlers all. The massacre happened. The Indians (1400) were tracked and arrested. 300 were charged. 40 were sentanced to death. One was pardoned and one died so 38 were hung. I have the story in our oral family history passed down through 5 generations to me. I had internet so was able to investigate the Massacre, the Dakota Trials, and the surrounding history, including the Mankato Citizen Soldiers and drawings of the scaffold. There are a number of reasons I believe the family history. 1. My ancestor was in the Militia and later in the US army Union as a Lieutenent for the last year. 2. He was a Carpenter, and wheelwright and blacksmith, both in and out of the military. 3. He stated he was the Carpenter in charge of building the scaffold that was used to hang the Indians found guilty. 4. He was later a Court Bailiff for the Grand Jury, Mayor, City Council member, Justice of the Peace. 5. He built 2 more scaffolds during his lifetime, one was used, the other was not as the man was acquitted. And finally, 6: He seemed proud of being a soldier and doing his duty but said that " it ( the hangings or the whole situation?) was not well done by those in charge", but this only was stated years after the fact and possibly had bothered him for years. My appreciation of and respect for the Sioux suffering during that time was solely due to my family history and later personal research. Being white caused me to do even more history research into the genocides and abuses of our indigenous population.

Thanks!

THIS IS OUR EARTH, NO EXCEPTIONS.

Ya, there are too many indigenous people with cultures in the world that gives and shares. But! Unfortunately, there are people and a different kind of species that you just CANT BE LIKE THAT WITH!! They are bottomless pits, they cannot ever be filled, it is never enough. Their mantra is MORE, upsize me is their cry. They speak of a creator, but never met him. Clueless about a relationship with the one. You can't fix them, beyond broken.

Malachi 1:4 KJV - Whereas Edom saith, We are impoverished, but we will return and build the desolate places; thus saith the LORD of hosts, They shall build, but I will throw down; and they shall call them, The border of wickedness, and, The people against whom the LORD hath indignation for ever.

History is not boiled down from second hand stories. It is intentionally constructed by the victors to give the purview that they desire. I identify as white, but have Siksika and Creole heritage from my Mother's side of the family. I would love to participate in the annual 150 mile walk. "Necessity knows no law." Some things never change.

We in my families watch A lot of PBS IT IS EDUCATIONAL INFORMATIVE A RESOLUTION FOR THE FUTURE IS TOO UNDERSTAND YOUR PASS..

Thank you for this video" Absolutly love it.. Its about time Racism DIED" 100%.. We are all one! 1..One people under the Great Spirit. Thank you again" beautiful"

It’s long past time that the truth comes out of the dark and put under a giant spotlight. The way all native Americans were treated by our government was horrific. The native tribes tried to live in peace with people who just wanted to come into their home land and take everything for themselves. The native tribes had every right to fight for their homes, families and for their lives!! Everyone should be taught the truth about all the wrongs that were committed against all the tribes!!

The natives were to bussy killing eachother. Lets not pretend these people were not warlike.

Thank you Twin Cities PBS.

As French, it surprised me to see the numbers of french names in the old maps in the middle of the United States, I realize that is a stupid thinking,'cause I know we sold for peanuts the big Louisiane, but anyway, it's still impressive!

I've lost my connections to my ancestors too. One of my grandparents was German. His parents by coming here missed out on the world wars that decimated Germany. My Finnish great grandpa was a general in the Finnish Russian war. Pretty sure that's why the next generation of theirs immigrated to US. They saw the potential of Russia overtaking countries all over. Millions of common people, farmers etc were murdered in Russia. They were decimated. There's a terrible history in every country. In my lifetime I got trapped in a horrible cult at age 11. Only way I can describe it is what native children went thru being stolen from their families. I still had my family and went to public schools but nobody knew I was basically kidnapped from my rightful path. This person who preyed on my mother and fooled her into some crazy indoctrination by taking our free will away is no different than anyone who blindly follows suit with what the government and media tells us. There's pain in everyone's lineage. The key in my opinion is we all need to listen and hear each other. We all have to quit falling for the gov lies. We were all pawns doing their bidding in created wars and turning one group of humans against another. In early America for the most part white man and natives respected each other. Along comes the militaries doing the govs bidding. Everyone then got brainwashed and forced to do horrible things to each other. I think any human who knew the truth of things and were truly free living in peace connected to the earth had to be eradicated bc the controllers needed people to be dumb in order to be controllable. It just takes one lie to spread like wildfire and everyone is brainwashed. We're quite pliable and gullible creatures when we've never known the whole truth from the beginning. Even the native Americans many have lost that connection to their language and ways of life. Many have no interest in learning. It's all because of running from traumas. It's too painful to look back or inwards for most. If we all realize we all are in the same boat ....that we've been duped....then healing can begin. There will always be psychopaths trying to manipulate everything but we gotta be wise and quite running from truths and emotions.

And yet Id bet good money that you've never been fucked over by the US government besides not being provided universal healthcare, adequate laws to protect workers presumably such as yourself, and the continued effect of misappropriated funds for an absurd war machine. How do you honestly continue to not grasp the hypocrisy that we in all likelihood teach about the country your family came from and the atrocities that occurred there, if not much more. Yet all of the atrocities in the US that many of us had great great grandparents who personally experienced directly or indirectly the very history we are discussing & watching docs about. Including the atrocities and the amazing industrial revolution and every pile of shit in between. Including the impression they left on who they raised... Regardless Don't even try to deny that many americans are completely fucked in the head when it comes to discussing racism and other issues in the US.They are doing basically the same shit that Turks are doing with the Armenian genocide in regards to not maintaining factual history & a refusal to analyze any part of our past while simultaneously denying that the same type of hatred exists to this day. Maybe all races are guilty of it but guess what? It doesnt matter, I can only represent my own race and from a numerically remarkable amount of other whites I have met in my life, the second they're alone with other whites....The racist shit comes spewing out. Dont deny that you havent seen this shit, if you have its your duty to shut that shit down, or otherwise youre complicit to their cowardice. That is the ONLY point of this video: standing up for what is right. Something I know that you rarely do(especially cause I know for fact that you didnt even watch this doc. You skipped through it & got hurt feelings then immediately left a comment to whine and whine and whine. Is that all you do? Seriously, how'd you wind up here?)
