Rising Voices tells the story of young Lakotas who are on a journey to learn their language--representing a new generation transforming their world in the 21st century. 5 short films by Lakota filmmakers will be integrated into the 90-minute anchor doc. Description Rising Voices/ Hótȟaŋiŋpi is a multi-platform documentary project that portrays the growing movement among tribes all over the country to revitalize their languages -- a movement for creative transformation by communities and individuals, which challenges the expectations put on them by outsiders and those put on young generations by the old.
The anchor of this project is a 90-minute documentary film intended for national broadcast on public television. Rising Voices/ Hótȟaŋiŋpi will focus on one of the strongest language revitalization movements in the country, among the Lakota people of the northern plains. "Hótȟaŋiŋpi" is the Lakota word for, "They will have their say."
Dee Brown's book Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee is so shocking ,nothing like Hollywood movies , may I recommend the James Belich book I SHALL NOT DIE [Titokowaru's war] tells the story of the great MAORI chief , gives good accounts of how PAKEHAS [Europeans] didn't win any major battles against the Maori's guerilla tactics .I read it years ago when I lived in Aotearoa and was surprised that none of my Maori friends had heard of TITOKOWARU or the book , well worth a look.
And there's new genetic evidence that Polynesians made pre-Columbian contact with Native Americans. A genetic study on 800 Polynesians from different islands showed Native American ancestry tracing back as early as 1100 AD. The only explanation is that somehow and somewhere our 2 peoples met up, had children then those same offspring passed their Native American genes down for the next 900 years in the Polynesian islands. Hope the solidarity between us never dies 🇲🇽❤🇳🇿
My 2 Kuia (Grandmother) were also right there at the creation of Kohanga Reo I miss them so so much but I know they are Watching over our Whaanau (family)❤
Kid's are very fast Learners and everyday they are learning so if you speak to kid's in your own language everyday they will catch on faster than you think 😊😊😊😊
I am an old white lady from Canada, watching with tears streaming down my cheeks. I live near The Algonquin Pikwakanagan First Nation People. I have many Indigenous family members and good friends. My son in law is Mi-kmaq from Moncton Nova Scotia. I feel such deep shame over the way my people, white people, my anscestors, have treated, and continue to treat our Indigenous Peoples. It's a heavy ache in my heart. Thank you for sharing this beautiful ceremoney. Meegwetch waki ijiwebis-i🙏
The wailing from our wāhine for the Lakota whānau taken really pulled on the heart strings. Proud of the whānau visiting and paying respect to the mate of the whenua. Ka nui te aroha kia koutou 🫶
as a European, the memorial is to average, they deserve much more. its about the dark times in us history and how bad the immigrants ( white people and others) treated the native americans.
So just throw the whole culture in there why dont you, do you even know what happened at waitaha? Or why? So ignorant, this was to pay respect, not spit on a culture
I think when I watched "Once Were Warriors" back in my 20's how very close our people Struggles and history are very Akin .Myself at one point then I felt like "We can take back what is ours" but then it gets complicated an better off "Saving what we can"... Have always felt a Kinship with these Peoples that know our hurt and I know of theirs we are Family, of the same.
We have always admired your culture, so much in common it’s almost uncanny, our world view, our spiritual side, how we care an protect land an water, I’ve always been told by my elders, we do not own the land or water, we are the guardians, and while we are here, we are caretakers of the whenua 🏔️and awa 🌊
An once were warriors gave an insight to what it was like for indigenous people after colonisation in that era, alcoholism, gangs, domestic violence, and many more problems they helped create an left us in, that’s the greatest movie to come out of our small nation, but us kiwis sure do punch above our weight, glad you resonated with that movie, such a sad an powerful story, just like our generation that came from that violence we stand strong to make a change for the next
On our way to Standing Rock Sioux Nation from the Navajo Nation in 2016 we stopped also at Wounded Knee. It is true you can feel the pain, the misery, the fear that our Lakota grandparents and children felt as they died that day, the same emotions felt by my Navajo ancestors at Ft. Sumner NM and on the way there called the Long Walk where over 2,000 Navajo also perished as they watched loved ones die at the hands of the same evil government's manifest destiny twist ideology military, the US Calvary. Where is the apology? Thank you to our Maori brothers and sisters.
To the great warrior maori people visiting our wounded knee memorial site in South Dakota. The brutal Cheney rush massacre of April 17th of 1931. On the crow creek sioux Indian reservation of SD northwest of the town stephan along the narrow long valley just below the hilly prairie land country along the beautiful Missouri River! This is our very sad tragic story and the Dakota and the Lakota sioux warriors victory charge! We always remembered it as the American civilians intruders involvement that really started the Buffalo County war or the Great war for the northern part of the reservation! During the the time of the sooner policy act the reservation land take over of the twenty century! The only Dakota sioux Indian reservation in South Dakota actually fought a heroic victories war to save their northern reservation last Buffalo hunting grounds and their northern reservation rich fertile farm lands along the beautiful Missouri River! Also There's a very sad forgotten tragedy and the last Dakota and Lakota sioux warriors true victory song! Many decades after the wounded knee massacre. It actually started in the nearly the entire month April of 1931. The continued harassment by the local towns people and the ranchers in the northern part of the reservation! The American civilians intruders wanted the Dakota sioux Indian people leave immediately from their own reservation homelands! The early days of the great depression area of the two warm days 17th through the 18th of April of 1931. On the crow creek sioux Indian reservation SD northwest of the town stephan. The only resistance was a large encampment of a little over sixty hunkpati Dakota sioux people were still definitely living on Cheney rush, actually in a long narrow valley just below the hilly prairie land country along the beautiful Missouri River. On the morning on same day the Dakota sioux men went on a hunting trip on the other side of the reservation. When a large party of over a hundred white civilians came with guns and rifles! The Dakota sioux Indian encampment of traditional people had never expected no one to arrival there! The American civilians seriously wanted to take away the Dakota sioux Indians inside Northern reservation rich fertile farm lands along the beautiful Missouri River. When the American civilians had arrived there. An altercation of violence that really happened there! Just like many Indian wars had happened in the us history! The American intruders started a full bloody massacre fight! The American civilians had less fewer casualties omly three had died during the fierce fighting massacre! The entire Dakota sioux Indian encampment were all killed there! The American civilians had built a huge bound fire an burned the poor buried Dakota sioux bodies to burned ashes remains! Then they buried the ashes remains north on top of the one of two rolling small hills. The one hill on the left side this how it really happened there. Around that same time will playing along the Missouri River the Dakota sioux elders were young children heard the noice an ran towards what was happening over their. An very sudden shocking saw an witness the entire tragedy unfolded there will hiding a safe distance away. Many years later they told the story well crying and wipt of the tragic massacre. There's no memorial site there because of the forgotten tragedy that happened there.of the fallen Dakota sioux people. It's also the most huanted place on the reservation. Some of the Dakota sioux indians Were descents of bullghost the Dakota sioux Indian war leader later becoming the spiritual advisor of the ghost dance uprising of 1890 he inspired many Lakota sioux people to the ghost dance celebration in standing rock SD. Bullghost is buried ground is north of the reservation at big bend committee. The Cheney rush massacre is the only tragic massacre the someone tried to cover up the evidence that never happened there? Bullghost has many relatives from standing rock to crow creek SD. The hunkpati Dakota sioux people of the crow creek sioux Indian reservation still remember the sad tragic day of the Cheney rush massacre! Just like the sand creek massacre of 1864 and the wounded knee massacre of 1890. The Cheney rush massacre site is still there today half a mile northwest from the town stephan along the highway to the capital of Pierre SD north to the small rolling hill south is the beautiful Missouri River. on the same day of the Cheney rush massacre and the American civilians had buried the Dakota sioux Indian burned ashes remains in a secret mass grave site! The children want an told everyone on the reservation the very sad tragic story of their own people at the Cheney rush massacre! Many of the men in the Dakota sioux Indian encampment had entire families and young pregnant young ladies at the brutal Cheney rush massacre! The next day a larger party of over three hundred angered Dakota sioux Indian warriors were coming ready to fight against the American civilians! The American civilians we're setting up a camp site near the massacre site. Someone told they would be facing a huge massive large numbers of warriors coming towards them from a great distance away! The American civilians made the main battlefield on the prairie land country. The American civilians were surprised so many Dakota sioux Indian warriors were arriving! Iron Nation's kul wicasa oyate, the Lakota sioux warriors may have assisted in fighting to! In the sioux Indian warriors faver a swift running battle was fought turned into full bloody conflict battlefield scene! Probably Many more American intruders may have died in the fierce fighting! An several brave sioux Indian warriors would lose their lives in the very intense battlefield moment! Dust would rise up from the horses hooves made a great impressive fighting moment! The American civilians couldn't take any more fierce fighting! The rest of the defeated wounded weakened American civilians escaped or fled back across the reservation border lands! To thier ranches and towns never wanting to take back the hunkpati Dakota sioux indian people's traditional reservation Buffalo hunting grounds. The Cheney rush massacre is the last forgotten tragedy of the twenty century and the last forgotten Dakota sioux Indian war of the two warm days of spring time of 1931. The last forgotten true victory song for the Dakota and Lakota sioux people! The crow creek sioux Indian reservation of SD. Is the only Dakotah sioux indian reservation east of the beautiful Missouri River still has its own tribal traditional boundaries Lands. The Dakota and Lakota sioux elders never lie about tragic stories of our brave dakota and Lakota sioux indian people's traditional lifestyle. We Were once the Great warriors of the northern Great plains of the 1800's. The beautiful peninsula lake shore of de Grey lake resort lodging is twenty four and a half miles north of the Cheney rush massacre site! Were the dances with wolves movie Civil War battle scene was made along the beautiful Missouri River. We still remember the Cheney rush massacre victory battlefield site that's still there today as a great resistance for our native American indigenous people of North America! One of our tribal members actually took camera pictures of the massacre site and the secret mass grave site. Many of these brave Dakota and Lakota sioux indian warriors may have truly fought bravery in world War '2. My historical information for today have a great wonderful day.
The comanche Indians of the southern great plains during the mid 1870s. Also had there last war against the American civilians Buffalo hunters bloody conflict battlefield scene! The Buffalo War of of 1877 the entire month of February the last comanche war chief black horse led his warriors in razed brutal war party attacks against the American civilians intruders hunters In the panhandle of Texas frontier. The American us military forces finally drove back the comanche Indians to the reservation lifestyle. Ending the southern plains Indian warrior Buffalo hunting grounds forever. My historical information for today. Have a great fabulous wonderful day.
Typical comment from a Pakeha (white folk) 😂 thank you for ur koha Paul McEwen 💰 I look forward to the next trip so u better get working to pay for it 😉👏
@@maramagilbert9875 For those of you not familiar to the maori culture there is such a thing which the maori folk posess which is called "mana". If you live on the unemployment benefit and spend an honest day laying in your bed you have a lot of mana.
its amazing how mixed natives are now. many of them look pure european. as they do here in america. very rarely do you see natives that still have the original or traditional features of their ancestors. native americans look very different from their ancestors.
Thank you for the visit, the respect, tears, and the prayers. As a Lakota it was very heartfelt to see this video and appreciate your people's prayers and songs.
