- This is part I of a short documentary surrounding the causes of the occupation of Wounded Knee in 1973. Modern Native American history largely goes unmentioned and is briefly discussed. Part I is short, and is not the whole story, but provides some insights on the conditions that Native Americans have faced from the 19th century to present. If anyone has comments or believes there may be inaccuracies let me know. Thanks for watching.

This is the stuff they were never going to teach us. We must protect our native brothers and sisters. We MUST! ITS OUR DUTY AS AMERICANS. WE MUST ALL FIGHT AGAINST THE EVILS!
I've known this since I was a kid.
This type of behaviour happened to us Scottish by the English
Outstanding documentary. The truth is coming out from every direction now. There will be nothing held back.
So appreciated this wonderful piece of work.
Love my native people.❤tuscarora is my tribe.
Alaskan Native Love. PowWow in the Snow.
A BIG THANKS to everyone for the comments. I'm working on Part 2 and it may be out next month.
Matthew, I am Lakota and my family comes from the Pine Ridge Reservation. Thank you for this piece. It is a story that needed to be told.
Did you every release Part 2? I can't seem to find it.
Part 2 plz
No part 2 :(
Well done! Proper bravery fighting for what’s right and with dignity 👏👏👏👏👏HEROES
Mr. McChesney I give this video a thumbs up. Strong, powerful video! Thank you . Looking for part 2.
I’m not Indian,but we have made them suffer so much and we should give them more credit because this is their country…
So sorry for your suffering. I am a Japanese woman but I know our ancesters have something in common. I always admire your heritage....
yes my mom taught me young that whites have tried to destroy every race on earth they are the only race to do this and commit genocide no other race has done this only whites all other races have all suffered from whites were all first nations except whites and aboriginal is an abusive name ab a prefix for abnormalities were not abs we are normal not White's
@@babyyodababyyoda8042 so tell that to the Chinese regarding the Japanese, the Armenians regarding the Turks.
Look at history for Christ sake
@@babyyodababyyoda8042: Your ignorance is staggering. Genghis Khan, a Mongolian, enslaved or slaughtered 25% of the known worlds population during his reign. Rome enslaved people from every European country they conquered.... Germania (Germany), Gaul (France), Britannia (Great Britain) ect. Between the 16th century and the middle of the 18th century, Arab slave traders (Muslims) of North Africa enslaved over 1.25 Million Europeans, including 700 Americans, taken in raids from Italy to the Netherlands. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbary_slave_trade The 1994 Rwanda Genocide resulted in 1 million Tutsi being slaughtered in less than 100 days by the Hutu. African on African genocide. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rwandan_genocide
Before ignorantly blaming Whites for all the wolds atrocities, try using that grey matter between your ears and learn the FACTS. Reading a book or two would be a good start.
@@vader1a: Careful. You're actually presenting verifiable FACTS in a comment section driven by emotion & personal opinions.
@@babyyodababyyoda8042 I think in this time that any smart person realizes every race and ethnic background of the 🌎 has been guilty of wrongdoings at some point in history. Not just Europeans and European Americans aka "Whites" as you called them. Hell even African tribes (and other tribes of the world) murdered their own people throughout history, especially if they were from another tribe and there were Africans who sold their own people into slavery. (And might I add "Whites" were not the only ones to own and advocate slavery over the course of history)
Our government should be so ashamed, and be held accountable for these continued abuse!!!
Marlon Brando's stand when he refused to accept this Oscar award.......instead made a statement by sending a Native american girl......to speak for her people..........i was 16 .........watch the video
Great man that Marlon Brando. He was from South Dakota, I believe. My mothers name is Indian, and her grandfather and father were Cherokee from Robinson Arkansas, The endpoint of the northern trail of tears and Shawnee Oklahoma
Just did. Marlon and that girl had balls.
@@guillaumelechevallier7958 Marlon Brando was an outside meddler. He never did a thing for the people here. Neither did the razing and plundering of Wounded Knee Village. Which has never recovered. By many counts around 60 Lakota who opposed Dick Wilson were killed or disappeared in the two years after this mess.
our mom introduced Richard Erdos long ago. i took my suplies to mt rushmore, and took nyc reporter to interview grandma hill who was child in first wounded knee.
Since childhood I read many books on the history of the indians in America, North and South. First there were novels and stories, then I am interested in the real story up to the present. It's a sad story and I understand these people. I am about to read William B. Matson's book "The Edward Clown Family" to complete the story. This documentation is very good and should be shown in schools around the world to show the truth. Best Regards Fritz , 59
7:10 this made me cry so hard!! in canada we had residential schools.exact same as boarding schools..........my mom is a residential survivor....she told me a story which i will share with you all...
she says......"i remember when i was really young at the residential school,we were all here.all young and we were from all the surrounding places. we had to live in dorms and had to go to church single file and we had to eat together and i remember this one young girl had did something the nuns didnt like.so she went hungry..we were always hungry. but this girl went hungry.and they wouldnt feed her.so this other older girl was one of them that were asked to clean up after and there was always lots of left overs from the nuns.so she would take some and feed the young girl and she took great risk to doing this cause if she got caught....."
"i remember another time.we used to get to go home for a short break to be with our families.but this one young girl came back to the residential school late.because of that all of us were told we were not to go home for christmas to be with our families....this made me sad and i remember crying myself to sleep for many nights.i was so broken hearted.i wanted so bad to see my parents....so anyway the holidays came and there were all of us here.i remember christmas eve and it was quiet.....i heard dogs in the distance...i thought i was dreaming cause there was never any sound of dogs.....i heard them coming nearer and nearer and a little time later the nuns came to my dorm and got me.so i went with them not understanding expecting bad.....i go down and there were my mom and dad!!!! they traveled 4 days in the cold to come bring me gifts and to spend time with me!!!!! i was so happy.they must have gotten word that we werent allowed to go home....i was so happy,but i felt so sad for the others that had no one........"
brewse64 Thank you for sharing your story. It's so important to make everyone understand.
The world must hear....the cries for peace are many....please keep those memories alive for all to not perpetuate evil....but bring humanity ☝
brewse64 my mom and her sisters went through this too I am crying so hard right now. Thanks for sharing 💕
Thank you for sharing. Very sorry for your hardships.
Now i understand the words of an elderly Indian man here in Australia, a long time ago. Such inhumanity, such cruelty. !!!
2021: We need PART 2 Now more than ever!!
Well done. Excellent documentary
My heart hears the hurt of this great man and speaker ..We have to work together before this group of people are written off the face of this Earth....
This is one of the most mind opening videos i've seen on youtube! Thanks!
Tankashila Creator See The Tears of Our People...
When you be quiet and listen to Our Elders You Learn So Much! Too much Especially for a Child, How could you ever imagine this abomination? Forgiveness is a Gift....Ignorance is no longer an excuse! WE STAND STRONG ,PRAYERS FOR OUR CHILDREN 🙏
These documentaries always open my eyes to what my ancestors might have gone through, sure I don't claim any Native Nation but I have come to known that I have mixed tribes in my blood from Central Mexico (through paternal grandfather), Northern Mexico (through maternal grandmother) and from South and Central Texas (from paternal grandfather). Unfortunately the Native Culture was lost on me as, I think, some ancestor natives assimilated and I often think what drove them to do so, since I proudly proclaim that "I'm Mexican."
I wonder even still what are the names of the tribes that I come from.
Shame on the boarding schools and their "educators"..
they were nuns and told they were doing in in the name of their false god you should know that
@@babyyodababyyoda8042 you have no idea what you're talking about
@@brotherirish9425 it’s true though. 😆. Research
About speaking two languages,the USA used the Indian language during WW2 as an unbreakable code and the rest is history,the American people has much to thank the "Indigenous People of America"for many lives saved during this time of conflict and as we say in Scotland"Old stuff does count".
My great grandmother was an OB nurse on the pine ridge reservation. She helped many families. I want to reach out and find people that remember her. She lobbied against White Clay and even helped protect Russell Means from the charges he faced after the Wounded Knee occupation.
The story goes he came to visit his newborn baby one night, drunk. My great grandmother, knowing what could happen with the police escorted him out and told him to sober up and she would make sure he could see his baby the next day, ensuring there wouldn't be a police presence. She did just that and he was able to visit his newborn child. Of all of his children, I have no clue which of them it was. I dont know enough history and I only have the stories from her daughter (my grandmother).
If there is ANYONE out there who remembers Isabel McKeever please reach out to me.
I wanted 2 say Hau Mitakuyape 2 you brother. I hope you find peace and are able 2 close the chapters of the book of your life and your family! Your family is my family / tiyoshpaye . My name above as you can see is white. My parents were white. My journey down road of knife brought me 2 my destination and family Oglala Lakota! I am Angel With Tatoos. Doksha ahke , until my heart feels you again. Talk later. Wanu wyee I'm always here brother. May Wakan Tanka Great Spirit Creator Almighty God Yahweh bless you and yours!
The bit at the beginning where Russel Means said you need to look in anthropology records to understand the native way of life resounded with me. I studied anthro in college and the focus many anthropologist in the US had at that time was preserving the native culture. the sad thing is where would their heritage be if it wasn't preserved.
Thank you for putting this together. I helped send food and clothing, and a friend to Wounded Knee, from Rockford IL. My friend was arrested while attempting to sneak in. Unfortunately he was one of only a few that went to court, lost and was sentenced. Thank goodness he appealed and it was overturned (they accused him of sedition and planning the overthrow of the government.
I'm skeptical. What's his name?
AND now we are in debt,enslaved by gov,we don't see our children grow, and broke down, we are our own worst enemy .We have gotten paid back for destroying such a beautiful prople
" We have gotten paid back " Hell , I wasn't even alive yet so how can I destroy it ?
Ride the wind great warrior hair black as the raven the truth will set you free
We're not even close to suffering what they've suffered, IMHO.
Actually to the European Caucasian speaking we are all over our continent Cemanahualt.
Mexicans, central americans , native americans and first nations people of canada using colonial terms. We are one people indigenous to this continent. Mix blood or full blood one people. We do not let the blood of raped define who we are.
Get back on the other side of that fucking river. Trump's going to make you pay for that wall, you fucking Chico.
Mexica2324 As a Northern European who loves his own people, I understand your sentiments completely. The most important thing you have in this world is your own people; and for your people, and for the sake of your people you should struggle and fight.
@@adler4357 Exactly both Wounded Kneea massacres were US government genocide. From 73 thru 75 we studied the Vietnam War, Watergate, and Wounded Knee, first hand. The most cynical, racist, white boys on high school, were reduced to be tears. All Americans fought against government
Now, I see the government getting ready for same, but it learned to divide the people, lower Education and just lie, first. I only felt shame, sadness them, now I'm scared. I hate the government and it's games.
Yes, damn this Gouverment who did this horrendous thing to the original Americans !
Not Americans
Throughout history the white man has abused all kinds of people, I think most nationalities were enslaved in one way or another. Ancestors from Ireland were starved out of Ireland my Indian Ancestors were forced out of India and several other countries. We are now English all so they could rape and pillage any country they could get their grubby hands on. I could go on and on about the horrendous treatment my ancestors endured. Even Hitler sent about 500000 of them to the gas Chambers during WW2. OUR HISTORY is not dissimilar to yours. I wish you all love and happiness.
Genocide by any other name...these poor people..my heart bleeds for them.
Genocide
💔
i still have not gotten over this, born, 1966, witness, 1973, shootings, out gunned
Much Respect for the true owners of this continent, from alaska to tierra del fuego, we live on stolen land.
The true owners of the continent are the people who are here
Give yours back, and move.
horrible to see how they were fighting to keep their own country - I wished they would have won this fight.
Why?
I was a senior in high school. I knew what was going on. News was hard to come by. I just knew the tribes were going to take another beating. I am still embarrassed how these americans were treated. Unfortunately what happened 80 some years before is something that should never be forgotten. What I never understood was being put on a reservation was no plan for survival. They got some land built some shacks. How were they suppose to live? The buffalo were not coming back. The old ways weren't so kind. Be careful what you ask for you might get it.
"Forgotten people"... it makes me really sad but im digging in ever native content i can find. To learn and to keep the amazing cuture and people with me. Part 2 would be welcome.
VERY SAD THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS AHAN
Excellent documentary thank you.
Thank you for this 🙏🏼
I've been looking for part 2 to use with my class. How soon do you think it will be??
So far one of the best documentaries I have seen. Where's part 2?
Bracia!wspolczuje wam!
This wasn’t to long ago and not a lot of people know of this It is very saddening for many.
As a human being this was so sad
Thanks for the beautiful doc...." WOPILA "
when are you doing part 2? great job.
So touching
I'd love to see part 2
the narrator sounds like kevin costner from dances with wolves
Just took a pilgrimage to Pine Ridge last week...parked at the smart dogs at night in the street, a large white pit bull at 2am on the main highway by hospital, jumped on my car while I parked on the highway. Wounded Knee was next. Respect
people should always keep their language. that's what identifies who we as people are, and where we come from... my native language is Spanish. doesn't matter how many languages i learn, I'm always going to keep mine and pass it to my children. i came to the USA when i was 12, and i speak already 4 languages. but the Spanish i will always keep it. and I'm a white Hispanic. over 600 million speak spanish worldwide
that's a beautiful thing.
I love to see part 2

Native Americans should never have been treated like this but Governments and people were so different in those days, but saying that have they really changed.
Where's Part 2 of this documentary!!

So sad the new people would have learn so much about the natives and their way off been and the USA would have turn into a great country but know its time will be over soon.
Monica Pakarati
Thanks
is there a movie about this because if not there needs to be a movie and it needs to be recognised more
Where,s part two?
@Matthew McCheskey
Where is Part 2 please?
As a foster child in rural south in the'60s I didn't know how or why people didn't except me they tried to label me as a thieving Indian drunk Indian and their hatred still lives on though mostly hidden behind closed doors but,taught at the dinner table by ignorant wanna be klansmen passed down from their grandparents and parents!
I'm a proud Cherokee brave!!
We all have something in common
Where's part 2
The invasion and culling of the people’s here and across our planet over early history is an atrocity against humanity world wide. I have always felt the pain and suffering for the American Indian tribes that suffered so much at the hands of the governing white man of those days. I pray there souls are at peace and the land is at peace. May humanity find loving existence and respect for all nations and inhabited lands in the future to come.
Lots of mass graves in your family? Virtue signaling is in such poor taste.
As far as i know there are more Sioux descendants then people think ,even in The Netherlands there is Sioux ancestry , because i'm also from Sioux ancestry ,but i don't know how it was possible my grandpa was born in 1884 in The Netherlands ,but i know his mom had surely been from Sioux native American or Canadian heritage .
Her father was a Chief from a Sioux tribe.
I've also seen an old picture from a woman from an Kiowa Tribe and she is called the bride of Wishram ,and
my sisters daughter has a strong look a like with that picture ,it looks if they are twins.
My mothers sister born 1925, immigrated to Canada after WW 2with her Canadian husband and their little one or 2 year old daughter ,and she once showed her son a picture ,he had seen a man on that picture with a headdres on, and a leather skin buck jack,and beads on it .
That man probably was as far as i understand my great great grand father .
My mom was born and raised in The Netherlands and had alway's lived in The Netherlands ,she was born in 1924 ,she told me in the past that her grand ma was dark coloured and very shy or something in that way ,i think she meant that her grandma had no connection with the outside world.
My oldest brother born 1950 and one from two brothers and one of totally four of the oldest sisters they told me that they had seen on pictures in the past that my grandpa had native Indian American looks ,but me the youngest born child ,born in 1967 don't remember pictures from my grand pa ,but a week ago i received a picture with my grand pa on it ,and my sisters son founded this picture on an ancestry site ,but the picture is not clear ,we must restore it .
I hope no one will send negative reactions on my message ,it once happened that someone messaged me that i was a liar ,and that hurts me.
I don't think anyone can help finding my Sioux roots ,but i only want to say that Sioux blood is still running through my vains .
I think my Sioux ancestors would be proud if they knew that one day my family and i finally came to know more about our historical background .
Maybe i don't count as a full Sioux member for some people?
But i don't cry about that .
I know my Great great grand pa was a Sioux Chief ,i think he probably was born around 1800?I don't know.
His daughter was probably born in 1840?i also don't know .
I only think i can know for sure that her son my grand pa was born in 1884 because i found that birthdate together with his name .
His name is not a Sioux name ,and further back i see no Sioux names to .
Family names are probably Dutch ,these names look far from Sioux ancestry.
My family name is private ,and my mama's family maiden name before she married with my papa is Ziesling ,but that is not a Sioux name, i don't know why i've seen no Sioux family names .
My name is Sylvia Diana
so the initials are S.D. i call it
S.outh D.akota 😊
My family name is private .
I also can tell you for sure that my mom and her brothers and sisters had native American Indian eyes .
I sometimes think Sitting Bull is my great great grandpa or great grand pa .
I've read an article on google about an Indian shirt from Sitting Bull his grandson that was placed in a small University museum with the name Zernike in Groningen a place in The Netherlands were i was born and raised .
I also read a lot about wild west show's there were a lot of native American Indian also Sioux who toured with these show's in America and Europe around the time my grandpa was born 1884 .
I have no idea what happened ,but sometimes i think maybe there was an orphan from a Sioux tribe that was taken to The Netherlands or that my grand pa his mother probably came from a Canadian boarding school .
For me it is all a mystery .
I once heard that there are Canadian family members that already had some more information about our Sioux family ancestry ,but some information is not the whole story .
I once was in Canada in 1975 or 1976on family vacation and i was eight or nine years old at that time and we were in Ottawa ,Ontario ,i've seen Niagara Fall's and In Montreal we landed with airplane i think i remember well .
We also went to a native Indian museum and i saw native Indian 's
i felt a feeling like a sort of vibe or maybe a connection and i saw them standing outside the museum and they looked very serious,and a little sad to ,and also kind and soft and wise, and again today 2023 i see it also on a lot of very old pictures with native Indian on it .
I am now 55 ,never forgot those people that day in Canada 🇨🇦 in 1975 or 1976.
I was that little girl with the red hair and freckles ,and sunny brown skin in the summer in Canada that made my hair more blond.
Canadian sun made my skin more nice brown😊then in Holland ?
But the sun is everywhere the same 😊
My message here shared with you all,is to let people know that there are more Sioux descendants aware of there Sioux ancestry roots ,and they are everywhere
on this planet .
Where is part 2?
sad story
Now who are savages.??
Ja hallo i understand your tragedy and
Must say i feel the same like you,
In my heart is Indian blood . Nature always harder than anything or everyone.
Nature has it own Programm and believe in this
I'm here in 2021 and I still see no part 2. So what the hell was sense of making part 1 then?
Ive watched ...ive absorbed ..
iam not born year but iam african people i support indian movement iam went volunteet army indian
What our govt. did prior to the Indian Child Welfare Act, is what they are doing now with the Central American immigrants. Look to the past to see how things really are now. Thank you for posting this.
Well. This one hasn't aged well.

what happened to part 2?
I love my Cheyenne River/Oglala Lakota people!
7:09powerful
🦅❤️💪
I remember I was like 10 11 years old and I run away and join them
Il vostro bellissimo popolo è anche il mio ♥️ Adriana da Roma ♥️ vi adoro 💖💖💖💖💖💖💕
It’s all native lands now ,, pray hard for ur souls when the Big Plume comes down
Where's part 2??
These people ARE AMERICA!! Final! I would love to know more about their original culture of the free human rather than the robotic monotone one I am tied to at the moment.
We Indians are always with Native Americans. We were lucky enough to get independence from colonizers i.e., Europeans. But it was not the case with indigenous people of North, Central and South America.
They were butchered, they were converted into Christians, their population was decreased deliberately so that Europeans can become a majority. As and when they became majority indigenous people disappeared and were pushed into poverty, drugs so that they never become aware about their culture and rights. It's time for them to take the issue to the UN.
It's very important for Native American to increase their population rapidly and make every native aware about their history, only then world is going to listen to them.
Natives need to protest massively throughout America for their civil rights.
Even the prime leadership in USA and Canada should a native American.
All the money we have sent overseas could have helped these people!! I am absolutely ashamed that our Native peoples were not provided adequate food, water, and shelter after being taken from their lands and the treaties the f-king government signed wasn’t worth the paper it was written on!!! And not only that the boarding schools were not monitored by government or law enforcement because there are too many children unaccounted for!!! Nothing short of crimes against humanity!!!! This corrupt bullshit sickens me!!!! GREED!!! But those who went against God’s laws have and will be punished!!! So thankful for Warriors like Russell Means!!! A’HO yah!!!
