I was warned by many Natives not to go to the Pine Ridge Reservation because of crime and poverty. But what was it like when I got there? Join me and the locals as we tour around the homeland of the Oglala Lakota people to understand their culture better, and to see what it really looks and feels like on the ground. ► Darwin and Angel's channel: / @navajomanlakotabae ► Roger's wife's channel: / @purplethundernight

Europeans also relocated many native americans to small reservations which had soil that was barely fertile.

As hateful as the south can be. Especially older generations. I find it very interesting how so many old people in the bible belt have love for Ndn culture but are so ignorant. Many old folk say they related to the cherokee or other popular names and Ive got no clue why. Have old random collectibles in their houses. Like just a print of some 1800s drawing of a Chief they couldnt name. Old people will still say "Indians" but have a house full of collectibles like arrowheads/ photographs/ blankets. Always assumed it was something to do with the bible but cant point my finger to it. But shout out to videos like this and Social media like tiktok where we can all educate ourselves. And the outreach / impact these platforms can be used to speak out about topics. Especially on the scary shit that no one talks about like human traffic.

As someone who lives on Turtle Mountain reservation.. Not every native American on the rez lives in total despair like this. Some of us do happen to have education, jobs, and live normal lives.

@katerinamakrlikova8675 8 месяцев назад

You will manage to rise again. I live in the Czech Rep., and we were on the verge of assimilation. Our language was almost lost, and our land belonged to Austria- Hungary emperor. We were also bound by this being more profitable than sustaining our individuality. Yet, in 18th century a national revival took action. The first Czech grammar book was written (in German still, for most people wouldn't understand it otherwise). 100 years later, after the 1WW, we managed to establish our own sovereign state. We came through a lot since, being sold to Hitler's Germany in 1938 for the sake of European peace. Our most brave and intelligent people were killed in this period, following by the over-taking of the Soviet army in 1968, when more brave people were killed. And still, we are here, 10 million of us. I hope that this story will encourage you. You will not only survive, but you will manage to become sovereign again. Should your destiny be an extinction, you'd be already extinct. You will manage like we did. The wish to persist is stronger than anything else. You are supported from all over the world ❤

I visited the Lakota Reservation two years ago. My first stop, intentionally, was Wounded Knee to pay my respects. I never knew the full story until visiting this very remote place and studying later about the actual facts. As a non-Indigenous American, I feel that the massacre at Wounded Knee is the most shameful event in the history of our nation. I was struck by the fact that women were found as far as two miles from the site, frozen to death with their children. It is a shame that school children are not taught about what happened at the Knee, every American should know what we did then and what we are not doing now in Pine Ridge for the Lakota.

@crystalbrown4158 11 месяцев назад

I'm West African and grew up in my native country learning about the world through British eyes. In school I was surprised to see Canadian towns? With names like Saskatoon,(which was spelt (◔‿◔) Saskatchewan or so. With the contorted history we were taught by the system I had to find out the truth out of the school system. I did visit Canada ( COVID) but my hosts were not native so I didn't get to the real world I wanted to experience. Hopefully I will do another trip when the time is ripe. I was in Victoria state in Australia and for the 4 weeks I never ever came across a native in all the towns I visited and no one would explain. On my return to my he country, I saw a documentary which is how I got to know some aspect of the truth. I'm a simple person and I really wish life was simpler than we've made it.

As part of an outreach program with my high school back around 1993, I visited that cemetery and the site at Wounded Knee. It still looks much like I remember it. I spent that week living on Lakota land, at an episcopal church. We went to build houses, but instead were asked to refurbish the church. It was used as a community center, and so the thinking of the host family was that we could benefit more people that way. I ended up volunteering to mow the tall grasses in the overgrown cemetery. I'm not a believer, but when I entered that church cemetery I remember asking permission from the spirits, just in case. The community was grateful because they could better honor their ancestors. The host family were wonderful and kind. I was shown many things new to me. I learned many things and made some powerful memories. It was also the first time I tasted buffalo, fresh off the prairie. It was not lost on me the honor which that meal represented from our hosts. My father told me as a boy, that I am 1/16 Cherokee. Most of my native history is lost. I know that my great great grandfather was a medicine man, but I don't know much more. Obviously the Lakota and the Cherokee are different nations, but in my mind they are still more similar to each other than to the world in which I grew up on Long Island, NY. Whenever I think back on that time with the Lakota, I am grateful for the opportunity and the insight that it gave me. Thank you Peter for this video and the memories it brings back.

As a young kid growing up on the West Coast of Scotland I was always fascinated by the Native American culture which of course entered my life via the Silver Screen of Hollywood and the multitude of Westerns that portrayed them through a one eyed often parochial vision. My dreams of visiting America were finally realised in the mid 90’s when as a Sapper in the Royal Engineers I was lucky enough to be attached to the Parachute Regiment on an Annual Exercise based in Yakima Training Facility via Fort Lewis Washington. On arrival in Yakima I was taken aback by the pure beauty of this rugged untouched part of the US. I also felt VERY conflicted as I realised very quickly that the live firing exercise area we were on was also sharing land with traditional Native American Burial Grounds. In the end I told myself that as a soldier from Scotland perhaps these Warriors simply looked at me as a modern equivalent to them and that my deepest sympathy for their plight (and ultimate demise as a Nation under the boots of both the British and US Armies ) might somehow have given me a pass of some sort. Whilst I know this is most likely wishful thinking on my part I am sincere in my respect and regard for what the First Peoples went through in the latter end of their turbulent demise. Thank you Peter for this short but educational insight into these wonderful human beings Ad their ongoing struggles with getting what they deserve. God Bless you both. 🙏🏼❤️✝️❤️🙏🏼 May your hair blow free in the wind and your feet walk on the earth that you rightfully call home

Hello Peter, great job on your video presentations about Native American tribal life! I also traveled through the Pine Ridge Reservation a few years back on my own video/photo journey. I toured Wounded Knee on the same day and was given a personal tour of the mass-grave Cemetary by two great young ancestors of the victims from that horrible day. I was instantly changed and horrified by what had taken place there in 1890. I then drove on to the Pine Ridge Reservation. As a strange twist of fate would have it, my van broke down as soon as I pulled into the Reservation. As I started to feel a little panic set in, I said a prayer for help, and immediately I heard a voice coming from behind my van. A man said to me, "stay in your car and put it in neutral and I will push you to an open lot of a closed-down church around the corner." When we got to the church lot he told me his story of why he wanted to help me and that I was not in a safe place in Pine Ridge and being a white man to boot. He said that he became a believer in Jesus a few years back after being an alcoholic most of his life. And that is why he came to my rescue when he saw that my van had broken down. He then offered to tow my van to Chadron, Nebraska where he knew some guys that had a shop that could fix it for me. Luckily for me, I had a tow strap and he towed me the 50 miles! I gladly paid him $150.00 to tow my van to Chadron. The strap broke 3 times during the trip, but we made it there safely! I am very grateful to the man that went out of his way to help a stranger. That day gave me new hope for humanity that we are all connected more than what meets the eye.

My wife and I lived on the Menominee reservation for eight years, from 1971 - 1979. We were teachers. This was the time when Pine Ridge was in turmoil. Some of the bad boys from Pine Ridge came down to start trouble. The tribal police chief Patto Fish and his deputy, Bear ran them back to Pine Ridge in a hurry. Patto and Bear could stop a bar fight in minutes. I loved the experience of living on the res. No one ever did us harm and we always had their respect. The Menominee people will always have my respect. It is a shame that our government treated them the way it did.

@zrl1017 Год назад

@@columcunningham4458that’s the main reason why, as a mixed person, I feel as if this whole “pro black” movement is misplaced. There are so many other groups that have been fucked over far more than we ever have. It bewilders me that my fellow African Americans seem to flat out ignore that the Native American race is basically endangered at this point. Meanwhile we have an entire continent filllled with us just across the ocean. For the most part I say America has equal opportunity but in the case of Native Americans I have to take a stand and say that the government does in fact actively try to keep them as poor as possible and as subdued as possible. So sad.

I've been to the Pine Ridge and Rosebud reservations, and I believe the depiction of them in this video is pretty accurate. I worked as a physician in the Res clinics, and got to know a number of the locals and learn about their issues. There are many very poor people on the Res, a relatively smaller middle-class population (similar to Darwin and Jack, I suspect) and a handful of more affluent people, who are mostly the tribal leaders. It's a very different culture from most of the US, and difficult for non-natives to understand. It can be difficult even for the natives to explain, as you could probably tell from this video. Darwin and Roger often struggle to explain to an outsider why something in the Res is the way it is. Fascinating place, and excellent video.

@joandevillier733 Год назад

Peter, thank you so much, especially for this episode of your journey through the reservations. I’m 88 years old. My paternal grandfather - George Peter Schmitt - was born in 1868 to a couple who immigrated from Bayern. They were devout Catholic. My grandfather, before he married, worked for the Jesuits on the Pine Ridge Reservation. As a very young child, I heard many stories about the time he spent there. Red Cloud was a much admired person to my grandfather. He told us he spent as much time as he could with Red Cloud and listened to his stories. One of Grandpa’s most treasured possessions was a beaded deer hide knife sheath, a gift from Red Cloud, which he kept in a dresser drawer carefully wrapped in tissue paper. I so appreciate Roger’s knowledge of the Lakota’s history and his generous sharing of it for those of us who want to know. Thank you again, Peter.

I'm from the Navajo nation and on the rez there is no jobs, especially after they closed the mine and power plant the unemployment rate skyrocketed and with that so did gang activity and suicides. But what little jobs there are don't pay well as the same off the rez. On top of that logistics is horrible making local prices very expensive, like at the lowe grocery store at Burnside it's was 5 bucks for a can of chunky soup. Year after year the ones who can leave go and the schools are losing attendance. It's sad to see it like that and I would like to see jobs brought to the rez again to enrich the people and not just the tribal council members. And those environmentalists have hurt the people most of them don't live on the rez and if do they have trash around their house. There's too many people making decisions based on what people tell them, also envy, and Jealousy.

I have a question, so since there is no jobs on the reservation do you have to work off the reservation? If so is this a way for the government to double tax you? Or make do you have to pay taxes living on the reservation and to work outside the reservation it’s how they get you to contribute to paying taxes?
