Thank u for this documentary. I am of the Navajo Nation tribe and have become very interested in learning about other tribes in the nation. I am first in my family to get a college degree. I in return am helping my Native people who are plague with the very same issues. I work in Behavioral health and see first hand of alcoholism, substance abuse, suicide in our communities. Please my Native brothers and sisters stand together and let's stop and do better for our children. The ones who suffer the most are the children. Hug our children, support our children... Parents/Grandparents it starts with u. To the young children... There is always better out there. Educate your self. The educated mind is a powerful tool. One day I would like to visit your nation and give back. Very beautiful land you all have. Pray pray the great creator made u strong. We r blessed ppl. Ahe'hee.

The most beautiful children on earth. They melt my heart.

The most Beautiful woman ever created on this planet Lakota Savannah of Pine Ridge reservation.Amazing is how you were made.I am white,my name is Jimmy from Augusta, Georgia.I live near Savannah, Georgia.I stand in amazement of how Amazing our creator created YOU my dear.BEAUTIFUL

I wonder how these kids are doing today. They face a lot more hardships as they get older on the Rez. I pray they are safe and well.

Exactly my thought. Where are they now, in October 2022? Have they escaped the alcohol, drugs, teen pregnancy, and general resignation and depression? Whiteclay, NE, has been shut down, but how are these kids doing twelve years later? That would be an award-winning film.

I love it: I KNOW someone from Pine Ridge, left for the Corps back in 1982. His name? Doyle Pipe-On-Head, at boot me and Melvin called him Pipe. We were Platoon 2113, H Co. San Diego MCRD. We went with Pipe thru ITS & we went west & he left for the East: 2 Marine Division. Yeah I [we] miss him, please tell him your Navajo Boys from Arizona said ; "hey".

Hello, Pine Ridge youths, from the Navajo Nation. I see a generation with tremendous potentials. Yes, you can do all things thru Christ Jesus who strengthens you. For he knows the plans for you, to prosper you and not to harm you. Plans to give you hope and a future. For they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings as eagles...amen

GodBless y’all..Love n Peace Nation!2020

Blessing and protection

The native tribes should eventually come together and help pine ridge succeed, it is sad to see how much potiental that rez has and how little they are getting in help

Aww the beautiful children

My students, kids like these, need more people like you

everyone needs a chance to grow

At Leon who were those two girls, one had a link shirt on. I think I may know one of them.

Those states you mentioned are not Northern Mexico.They are the United States. They WERE 'Northern Mexico' for a short period of time. & before that, they belonged to tribes such as: Hopi, Navajo, Serrano, Mona, Yuma, & Apache - just to name a few.That land was invaded by the SPANISH & declared "Mexico."Along came the descendants of the Mayan & Aztec & the Mestizo & the Spaniards.80% of the population at the time was the Indigenous tribes THAT WERE ALREADY THERE & didn't want them there..cont...

These people the real America.

Kids are pretty good at basketball!

The youth are shy and it is part of the culture, most likely it is done because of some people treat them. They do well and accomplish great things. Self esteem issues but thankful they are gentle and kind.

I am not native I was in young life in Cherokee county but I might be

Billy Mills Hall changed.. ALOT.

Ignorance at it's finest, LOL I'm half white, half "Indian" if you wanna call it that, I call it quarter Odawa and quarter Ojibwe, I have pretty waabishke skin (white skin) but I don't have european facial features, does that make me totally white? no, because I'm not, I'm involved in cultural practices and drumming almost daily, Anikoo Binesi Ndizhinkaaz, Wikwemikong ndoojba, My spirit name is Ancient Thunderbird, I'm from Wikwemikong,not everyone on the rez looks "indian" now adays.

Them kids in their hoppin

Too much hate races of people kids are kids anywhere you go.be respectfull.

@sarabower1 Well you are full of sunshine, its ok as Indian people have seen the affects of your world. :)

Huge problem

Aren't we all the same people? I bleed the same color a man with black or white skin does. We are all made up of the same things. Aren't we all just one race?

Any full blooded children

The Europeans made boundaries. The indigenous people of north central and South America did not. Europeans are light skinned the Western Hemisphere have a darker skin. I am from the North American continent which is the turtle

If the Title on this video would have said Mexican kids playing basketball i would have totally believed it this video just proves that we Mexicans & Native Americans are the same race.. I have never understood why the Euro-Americans in the United States makes everybody believe Native Americans & Mexicans are not the same race....

sharon gonzalez A lot of those kids were not even full “natives” and not all Latinos have any connection to “natives”. Look at the president of Mexico and his wife, they’re obviously Spaniards and so are the majority of the government and the upper and middle classes and this is true throughout South and Central America. Latinos only have about 10% “native” admixture. Question - when is Mexico going to give Mexico back to the “natives”?? I mean if the US owes “natives” so much (even though it’s their own fault they’re the way the are - the weren’t “noble” but they were savages) then surely the Mexicans should owe just as much to their “natives” right? The things “natives” did to their captives (and that includes Mexicans and other “natives”) were unspeakable, they would cut off limbs and torture the captives by burning their skin and cutting off their noses and ears. They would keep them alive for months in this condition. That was just what the women in the “village” would do to them and one of many horrific forms of torture they would employ. They would even smash the heads of infants and they were doing this to each long before Europeans arrived. They lusted after the lands and livestock of other tribes so they would just butcher them and take the land. The comanches and lakota were notorious for this but most tribes did it. There is plenty of historical and archeological of this including recently discovered pits in the mid west each one full of the bones of thousands people who had been tortured and some even eaten.

you should make a basketball teams and have the girls be cheerleaders or you can make up a team of other girls for basketball and the boys and they can have playoffs and you can also have the children learn how to make things I play games like I don't know if you remember this game but Red Rover Red Rover send one over or volleyball you should get them interested in these kinds of sports and you watch them take off and grow

There is girls basketball teams and boys but i dont think theres cheerleading teams nobody is interested but the girls basket ball team is amazing at the sport in all three schools they are pine ridge thorps red cloud crusaders and wolf creek warriors i grew up here and watch the games the girls team is better than the boys because theres not a lot of boy players i miss it here

Not any I know; they take pride in their Hertiage as well. However from what I understand before columbus their were some here, so they do claim to be Native to America NOT Native American

LMAO....wow... did you really have to play that song ? irony..

So sad to see these kids under the influence of a stereo singer who perpetuates sexual trafficking even of minors. My only advice to you all is to be more aware in the way to use radio.
