Children of the Plains Part 2: Louise survives in a home with scarce food and a mother lost in alcohol. [Original Air Date 10/14/2011] WATCH FULL EPISODES OF 20/20: abc.go.com/show...
So sad. That girl on the phone with her mom is legit PARENTING her own parent. I hope that girl gets rewarded sometime In life for going through such hard strides. I wish her the best
I'm so humbled by these stories. These communities need mental health support, financial support, and lots of healing. These children are warriors. No child should live in such state of distress. God bless them❤
In that kind of system, where everything is scarce, including love, some become stronger, others wilt and crumple. These were a great warrior race, as they had lived in nature, and so became strong, until the white man came with his greed, lies, and fire water. Their despair from the 1800's has led to a magnetic attraction and tie to many spirits in the beyond, who contemplate suicide, and, or, drink excessively too. The white man has much to account for, and it will be his turn soon, from 2028, as karmic storms return to him, for what a man, or nation sows, so must it reap. This land is, and never was theirs, for the Great Spirit ordained the red man to be the caretaker of it, which he did very well, before the whites came. To survive there now, you have to a true warrior, all the more so to flourish, for as the teacher stated, these children need to be nurtured and watered akin to flowers and plants, otherwise they wither away, and die! Aho!
And soon the white man will learn that you cannot eat money, and neither do we own the land, for it all belongs to the Great Spirit, the Creator, and whoever defies this truth, is a thief, and usually a liar and murderer, in a plethora of ways, all the duplicitous ways of the white man! Aho!
@ithixa Wolf We r talking about at least standard life preserve among those people. They r the rightfull owners of USA and most of them r living like dirt. Its unhuman.
@@josiahtrigo2365 They were NOT here first. Their unwilling liars [most of them]... Honestly... Do you think these pathetic people were feared by European Soldiers? LMAO! Here is the proof of who the REAL original Americans are. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-adpelCzUVRU.html
Rare Breed You’re a delusional clown. “The Five Civilized Tribes” inhabited a completely different region than the Lakota, but your myopic conspiracy theory infected self hating mind probably can’t process all that.
Thanks. For showing this video , I live on Navajo Reservation and American Indian. Yes alcohol is so bad on these reservations, I think Government did this to our nation to demolish us ? Stay strong and get your education. That's the power we have to take over the Indian reservations.
I never lived on a rez. They forced my ancestors to sign treaty by force of rifle bearing soldiers.... to sign away whole state of Michigan for pennies, and negotiated individual ownership, then said we owed tax, a provision I see NOT that clause. I am no expert on pine ridge even as my daughter taught English and journalism at red cloud school. So many reasons not to drink, but they do. BUT...no one says you can't move to cities. We been shit on yes, but we don't have to stand there and let it continue. I encourage them to do so. We can compete, we can fight back, but we have to stop inter mixing. Or, we will cease being a 'race', a people. Oh , my daughter has a masters out of University of Nebraska-Lincoln . son just got a MD. we can do it Indians. Start with drinking-stop. then move
Rosa Travis REALLY??!..LOL!!..I use to live on plenty of reservations!!..they all suck!!..get the he'll out of there!! get a real job!! quit blaming the u.s...government! get your shit together!!..the blame is on these piece of low trash shit parents!!..there cowards!!..hurting there own children!! think about it you stupid idiot!😈
One day our people will all be together again. Traveling the Red Road free from hate, sickness, hunger, etc. This world tests our strength and courage. Be strong young Lakotas and stand tall.

Native American tribes have embraced Islamic teachings. In apostasy (Christianity) by the Spanish colonizers. Already devoted to Allah. Why not return to know tauhid. KNOWING ALLAH 'AZZA WA JALLA By Sheikh Muhammad bin Abdul Wahab When asked: Who is your God? Then say: My God is Allah who has guarded me and guarded the universe with all the blessings He has bestowed. besides Him. Allah says in the Quran Surah Thaha : 14 'Indeed, I am Allah, there is no god but Me, so worship Me and pray to remember Me.
I refuse to add to this corrupt United States. I plan to dedicate my future to helping people like them and their children. I don’t need my own children, I need to help these children more. We need to use our resources that we build, to help build each other up.... they can be saved, I want to help. I’m going to be doing so much more.. these children need nutrition, guidance, love and a safe home to be team players together
@@rarebreed4489 DNA DON'T LIE,You're rambling nonsense about them not being the first over some bs that u picked up on some random youtube channel which btw i noticed u deleted the link to channel u had posted on your comment earlier
My prayers are with you Stands against the wind. Keep focused, know that many are touched by your story and stand with you. Live every day. You are too important. You matter. Sending love from West Texas.
We are still here. Our people are so strong when we come together. Teach your children everything about life and help them all the time. Take your time with them. Migwetch.
I was assigned a couple of these videos for my college essay, i know that some reservations are poor, but this isn’t humane. I was in tears at the end of this.
Was there ever an update on this article? Where is she now? The school? The rest of the children? This makes me so angry and hurts my heart all at the same time. I hope she is still standing strong in those stormy winds. Xx
@Nazmul Khan Your comment is ignorant and racist. How is she spreading coronavirus? Because she's Asian?? Nothing in her comment indicates that she is going out of her house haphazardly, possibly spreading coronavirus. Secondly, the killing of Ugur/Black people is in CHINA. Her name is in Korean. Lastly, although what's happening in China is wrong and needs to be stopped, even if she was Chinese, it's not like she is the one directly killing them. She can probably do as much as you or I can. The focus of this video is on the poor living conditions of Native American people, let's keep it on that.
It's sad that America Government doesn't help these people. They deserve better homes and benefits for help for food ,and help them get their feet off the ground. It's sad we as Americans.. second to come to the United States.. treat them like this. If I had money or a way I would help them..
m.facebook.com/OneSpiritPineRidge/?tsid=0.1502717340241002&source=result I found this, they help provide food, equipment for sports teams and I think they have other projects they help with. I am not recommending them personally, but it was something I found so far.
This is my reservation ❤️ I plan to go back and help them as much as possible when I am where I want to be and give back. We need to stop living like this, they put us on these reservations to make us suffer and I’m tired of it. We’re all alcoholics and we all just need someone to talk to. I pray we get better because our ancestors were very sacred people and we want their legacy to live on.❤️✨ I love my native people, stay strong!
Nick Probst there are a lot of things you can do! You can donate to the Tribe on their website. friendsofpineridgereservation.org has some resources too!
There are clearly a number of issues and narratives that relate to your tribe's plight. I found a university course that's coming to Pine Ridge for a few weeks, or months, in May/June time, this year, as part of some kind of community assessment and development. It looks as though there have been a number of good initiatives begun that are offering some helps and services to the people there. The bison meat processing company, food parcels, Waldorf school, environment school, new housing, sponsors for food and clothes, new organic gardens, etc. The issue is you're starting from scratch, and do not have a level of basic sustenance in place, due to the meagre amounts of money that come onto the rez. My view is that capitalism doesn't work, and neither does living outside spiritual principles, for those are the only way to be truly sustainable, as we receive both spiritual power and strength, as well as help from the spiritual guides for our material existence, although this doesn't mean we will be rolling in it, but our needs will be met, if we trust !!!. And your culture was so rich in this regard, so, so rich...and wise !!! And you still have elders there who have wisdom. Do people not listen to them any more??? Not to understand the laws of the Great Spirit is to be ignorant, and therefore unaware of the causes of one's pain, this is why pain comes, so we can recognise these ways and find the way back to the path of the spirit. This takes effort though, and alertness and discipline, and this is why the elders with their wisdom I would have thought could help, but then I don't know the circumstances in your home, but it doesn't sound easy at all. Wish you well on your return there, and may I both thank and congratulate you on doing so, for it proves to me you are a loyal, selfless person, and know that good works are always rewarded in full, for eventually we do reap what we sow, many times over !!! All the very, very best with everything !!!
I wish I could be your mama baby, you deserve to be treated with respect and not have to worry about this shit. Im sorry you are going through this Love. Keep your head up Angel if you can read this.
This little darling reminds me of myself as a young child. My brother doesn’t remember the abuse and neglect that we endured from our family because I protected him from it all. Now I am older and wiser and the Gods are revealing my memories to me daily and in my dreams. I then get the information verified. Y’all need to wake up and smell the damn roses. We will never forget what history has done to the tribes. I pray everyday for healing and restoration. Peace to all.
I feel every emotion for these children and families, my heart really aches for a world that's made to destroy all our indigenous peoples of the world.
That precious little girl :( Ms. Whitewolf was exactly right, children should be given all the love, tenderness, and nurturing they can get to grow like beautiful flowers. Seeing her mom drink and know that she's hurting her daughter, but also not having the strength to be free of addiction is so hard. You can tell she loves her so much. And the love that Ms. Whitewolf has for the children is so moving. May the Creator watch over them all and help their hearts heal and give them the strength they need on their journey here on Mother Earth.
Angel...taking your life is not the answer. When we overcome our addictions, we strengthen our hearts & soul. I admire your voice greatly...you have knowledge & wisdom. Prayer🙏
such a beautiful girl, and with such a strong native background! Don't give up lil one, keep standing against the wind! take all these things that life sends your way and use them as stepping stones to climb above it all!
Does anyone know what happened to this amazing, courageous, beautiful, strong young woman? I pray that life has somewhat been kinder to her, after this show

Amen Sweetheart! I love you darling and I'm praying for you even all these years later! You're strong, resilient, and courageous! You're never going to give up and you're going to make it through and pass with flying colors!
I say it to all these wonderful children revealed in Diane's documentaries. I hope it means even a tiny thing to them. In my country in the face of trials and adversity we say "Kia kaha". It means "Stand strongly". Kia kaha, Louise, kia kaha.
Absolutely right. Please, Dear Lord, send a band of Angels to protect her and may she have only happiness and love all of her life. In my prayers always. You are one of Gods most perfect works. Stay strong precious Louise Clifford (Tatay Hiana Jueeli---stands against the wind) We love you. Swede & Tina Johnson.
@@fullerjohnson4169 yes it hurts me in my heart and soul to see angles like this that have to suffer I can believe how are Society can let this go on especially in are beautiful United States of America all these kids need is to be loved and cared for and guidance they all are such beautiful kids wanting to do good such precious angles no kids should have to go threw this no matter if they are Mexican black native white we need to do better for these angles they are the future God bless
This whole documentary is incredibly patronizing. What isn't discussed is why the ended up falling into addiction in the first place. It's pretty easy to say "oh just leave" or "just stop drinking" when you aren't the one living in extreme poverty with such an incredible lack of resources.
It won't take much if everyone pulls together, Surrounding communities, WHY is there no address's available to send donations? God bless these people why have suffered for far too long😇
You are loved beyond measure and you are worthy beyond belief and never forget how valuable you are keep shining that beautiful light so bright that it leaves an echo for all eternity that keeps rippling out harmony and perfect balance and each step blessed by God and Mother Earth.
These people need to stick to their roots....Don't let go of your language,culture and ethics....That is going to keep the community intact and make it survive......US govt should do more to help them grow and progress.....After all they are the real americans....Hassan,Kashmir....
Children living in such difficult situations are the only reason I would love to be really rich. Sadly, children are also the reason I will never be rich because I chose teaching as a career and we all know how poorly teachers are paid. But I give them my all and I do what I can to help each child.
This is world wide in Indigenous communities, the parents and elders have let the children down , just can’t keep using government or past wrongs ,this is the 21 century.
So precious how she has appreciation for Mother Earth and the plants and how much love she has for her family and it is so important that we do right by these children to give them the life they deserve and pray for their parents to get the help they need and bring them up from the dark to see the value that is the human being who is a guardian of the land plants animals people. I see these Beautiful people who are need of care and love and it is our responsibility to do our part no matter how many times they fall our job is to stand by them and walk with them to see them taken care of. this needs to end no one needs to be left to walk in this world alone and fight the dark by themselves. We stand together to remind them how to walk and how to see their value because from what is can see is the darkness sees how valuable they are that is why the dark tries to keep them in fear, scarcity, and survival mode but we are meant and will thrive on earth and teach them how to stand in their glorious guardians of the planet who we have so much to learn from and follow their beautiful example of how to care for the planet and we need to unite and when we see someone in need it’s our responsibility as United Nations to be there for each other always.
As I understand, the Native Americans were given the worst land, and in some cases, pushed out of the land that was granted to them. I can't even imagine how tough it is to live in those conditions. My heart goes out to the native people living in these deplorable conditions, especially their children. The homes, schools, lack of food...it's just heartbreaking. Alcoholism and drug use are signs of hopelessness. It is such a shame that their parents don't have the strength to overcome their addictions and this downward trajectory...for their children and people. I have yet to see any president in my lifetime do anything significant for our Native American peoples. A major reason I'm not even contemplating a vote for our fake NA candidate, Elizabeth Warren. 23%...non res/non tribe, but it's in my blood and proud of that.
If I ever get big off of music or make money. I’m gonna donate my money to these communities. They are the original people who lived on this land and now they are the ones who are oppressed. We need to help them.
I don't live on a reservation, my tribe is in South Dakota. I have very little Sioux blood. I live in California. I can't stand to see anyone suffer. I tried to kill myself, a long time ago. I was devastated after my divorce. I was homeless for a time. Those were hard times. I was abused as a child. So, I know what back to Back despair is. I've pulled myself from the wreckage. I had help but not from family. Strangers who were kind, made me want to live again. It changed me in a good way. So good, that I am now a peer mentor. I would be honored if I could help others out of despair too.
that is so sad that this little girl draws a picture of her hanging in her closet that is so sad i wish i could go over there and just tell her don,t ever think that because life is going to be bad i am poor and my grandma told me rich kids go down the easy road and poor kids go down the muddy road but it makes us a hero this little girl is a true hero
Rich kids kill themselves too. They can't help that they're born rich and they have family problems too. I had rich friends in high school and some of them committed suicide. Despair is a horrible thing and anyone can choose to give into it.
They are such a beautiful, culture. Sending an abundance, of prayers, for your health, happiness and wellbeing. Also, BIG Luv from an indigenous Maori, from Aotearoa, NZ. We see you, and your struggles. KIA KAHA! (STAND STRONG).🙏😍☝️👊💪✊️🎯💯
I've never ever seen a native in person before but I think that they are extremely beautiful people with an incredible cultural history and they definitely need to come off the REZ and experience the rest of the world
Watching indigenous people's of this world as one myself -maori of Aotearoa (New Zealand) who has lived in Australia and seen the indigenous people of that country and their struggle.I can't help but think that all our suffering was so we could watch the white (capitalism) society fall on their face on our land and know that one day,it will be our strength and culture they will have to fall back on to survive
us white people are also victims of this un-natural capitalistic system and we also once lived a healthy natural lifestyle that we also need to return to ajitvadakayil.blogspot.com/2016/03/st-patrick-genocide-of-druids-pope-leo.html
U are so right them whites took advantage of us so long now they wanna know our way of life so they could survive now that this globe in in turmoil they know how it is to suffer now this pandemic is striking them now
I think the problem with places like Australia was the British Empire would not just come along and butcher everyone if there was a established civilization there using most of the land. But in places like Australia you had a small Native population compared to a huge vast amount of land most of it empty, so its hard to claim all the land when you are small in number and not using most of the land. No other colonies of the British Empire with big populations and civilizations lost there land only country's with vast amounts of empty land and nomadic people.
@@justinfilipovic8939 Very true! Anyone who isn't part of the Elite Beast System is victim to the evils of capitalism! This is a long old evil that has affected us all, but some groups of people have been affected much worse than others!
