- Lakota historian Nick Estes talks about Thanksgiving and his book "Our History Is the Future," and the historic fight against the Dakota Access pipeline at Standing Rock. "This history ... is a continuing history of genocide, of settler colonialism and, basically, the founding myths of this country," says Estes, who is a co-founder of the Indigenous resistance group The Red Nation and a citizen of the Lower Brule Sioux Tribe.

Thank you Amy Goodman! For reporting and bringing Mr. Estés to the forefront. And thank you for your reporting and supporting now and during Dapl! 🤩🥰
upfront? There are books for upfront and up back down. Heres one amazing start point
The American Holocaust by David Stannard
The most impressive tv commercial ever made was of a Native American who looked like Red Cloud. He had tears running down his face as he observed the damage done to the country by whites.

His name was Iron Eyes Cody.
He played native Americans in many films and on television and was an advocate of native American causes.
He was actually Italian.
@@luisaymerich9675 Thank you, did he play Tonto, the companion of the Lone Ranger on tv?
@@wandaharris4260 According to Google the name of that actor was Jay Silverheels.
"Society organized itself according to need not according to profit." Guiding words moving forward...💜🌏🌟
Woke White Format.
Every year, cherrypick one native guy to blabber about a totally lost war, as all the resources are sucked dry by invading white capitalism troopers.
Never-mind the total disintegration of the native peoples of North America, every year, bit by bit. No amount of institutional ball-talk can undo genocide
The current and future generations will continue to carry the repercussion regardless of all this founding myths and landgrab stories (we know well cowboy)
Your History Is Your Future. A dirty empire founded on guns and slavery will go down the same way, it came up.
Thanksgiving Bullshit Media! Redneck Nation Rise
That’s not really true for NA/First Nations peoples though. We see evidence ecological devastation in various regions of the Americas due to NA peoples. Yes I’m being pedantic I know but it a pain in the butt to see this myth perpetuated.
Not in the USA
Love this - I'm going to quote you!!! Something the WORLD needs to put in the forefront of their evolution!!!

His book sounds amazing. Thank-you Nick Estes!
Buy his book !
His book IS amazing!
The history of the damming flooding entire native territory he mentions around 7:00 is something I had literally never heard about and is a very recent example of settler colonialism's total disregard for humanity and ecology.
People think I’m a grouch because I think thanksgiving and Christmas holidays are hypocritical to celebrate. We were taught in school(I’m 70) that the”Indians” brought food to the settlers hence thanksgiving. The books didn’t tell us the genocide. So I don’t celebrate. His explanation is so very accurate.
Friendly old Brit: I am with you on that one. I would think there should be an acknowledgement of Indian input into a day America celebrates as its beginning.
same I don't celebrate none of those,since Columbus day
I agree !!!
I celebrate Thanksgiving, Columbus day, and I do think it's very silly, and being a grump not to. Obviously, it's your business.
I don't expect Indians to. But this country has been a beacon of Liberty to many people around the world.
Every celebration, holiday, holy day is good to celebrate in my book. The more gratefulness, the more getting together with family and friends the better.
That’s because there was no genocide back then. Settlers were fighting alongside the Cherokee and Abenaki against hostile tribes. The genocide really began after the Civil War. Unfortunately it’s too late to dwell on it, because we’re 8th & 9th generation Native Americans ourselves. And we ain’t going nowhere. If you wanna make enemies of all of us, even your advocates, keep up the good work i guess. 🤷🏼♂️
Thank-You Nick Estes and all of the Indigenous Resistance for everything you do! One day soon I will join you! I am with you on this National Day Of Mourning as I am everyday in spirit. RED POWER!!
I'm going to purchase his book, it sounds not just amazing, but a book that everyone should read and learn from. Thank you Nick! And thank you Amy for having Nick on your channel!
Thank you Democracy Now and Amy Goodman for your coverage.
Thank you ... bringing Estes today!! Highly respected!! Totally agree!!
"And for a brief moment in the camp, society organized itself according to need, not according to profit." Love that. THAT alone would be the basis for attacking the Water Protectors with the ferocity that was used.
That sounds like communism. Get the surface to air missiles!!!

It is a great and wonderful thing, from my head to my toes, to be able to share in the spirit of all natives.
There are Sons and Daughters of the Gael who speak Gaelic, my only ancestry. My Canadian ancestors
sent natives to university in Scotland so they could learn to properly represent themselves in the English
and French courts of pre-Canada. There never was any form of slavery in Scotland and Scotland never
attacked another country in war. They don't teach our history over here, and that includes political refugees,
up here, the winter salmon fishing ground for the people of the Garden of Eden and following immigrants.
The first book published in North America by a native was written to open the hearts of pale-skinned people
to the spirit, people, lands and waters of their land. It works. It was written by an Ojibway elder who lived
south of Georgian Bay and wintered in the Niagara Peninsula. "The Traditional History and Characteristic
Sketches of the Ojibway Nation", under the English name George Copway. Our lives can become so much more.
Everyone needs to learn how the Dark Ages created a European and Mediterranean population of stunted
and runted people, slow of thought, slow of speech, short and unhealthy. That began with the filth of Rome.
I better stop typing.
Bravo sir bravo

This is what journalism is meant for to give people like Mr Estes a voice & the public opportunity to be informed in a professional and factual type of format is so refreshing. As a Native American a member of a federal recognized tribe Mr Estes has literally changed my perspective on indigenous justice as he would put it which is a much better statement than something that people would misconstrue as a radical anti-government you know group because that's never what the red power movement was. The very first rule was sobriety that was the number one commitment you had to make to be a part of a community at recognized and remembered our cultural traditions, our traditional ways and taking care of each other. To bring a pseudo-military for a peaceful protest that is a constitutional inherent right as the United States citizen is almost orwellian like something you'd see in a dystopian type of movie and we're starting to see it and then use everyday but it doesn't end when the camera stop. If you notice the first and only question that she asked was to give a summary of his book my first thought was he should've told her to go buy it but by the time he was finished I was just astonished and impressed on a level that made me believe that maybe we have a chance all of us I mean every citizen of the United States of America not just Indians
I have dreamed my whole life (80 years ) to live Nicks philosophy of life.
As E Cleaver stated 54 years ago 'The Indians taught the White man how to survive,the white man then taught the Indians how to die how to become extinct.
I wonder if a more specific term than "White man" could be found? "Predators" maybe?

Thank you Democracy Now for putting Nick Estes on today. His message is right on point. I believe we should give all of the land back to the people who were doing a great job of taking care of this planet before capitalism came along. Any American that wants to think of themselves as "a good person" who "does the right thing" should start by returning stolen lands to native tribes.
Na fuck em I am not a good person 🤞
What freakin' planet do you live on?
Although I am Native, & agree with most of this message. ..this is the one day that European Americans are reminded to be grateful, & focus on the family...& some, if not most, do. Maybe take a day off from hate, resentment, & politics...& focus our colective gratitude towards our great MOTHER EARTH...JUST PURE, PRAYERFUL GRATITUDE, & REMEMBER WHAT IS IMPORTANT...SURVIVAL FOR ALL OF CREATION. I agree that capitalism is incongruous with life on this planet...let's take that
subject up tomorrow, & everyday after...today I got up early , cooked , cleaned all day, took care of my horses, family, & my elderly neighbor...I would like a day off from warring with other groups of people...as I am tired now...ABENAKI WOMAN ...A.K.A. "MS. ANN TROPE"...P.S. Thought Columbus day is our collective day of mourning..?

"For the earth to live, capitalism must die." Best summation to my ears.
To a commie, yes.
And what do you want to replace capitalism with?
Trade, and barter? Communism? Forced poverty is more like it.
I will always be a supporter of native sovereignty and honoring the treaties. The least the United States can do, is honor the treaties!!!
right now the US is a promise, breaking liar, and in breach of contract.
What a king. Thanks Amy and Democracy Now!
Natives don't believe in Kings. lol.
I'm with you Nick & thank you.
Another post I watched a Native gentleman claimed 371 treaties have been signed by various US Governments and the Aboriginal Populations over the decades. It is my understanding that each treaty signed has been violated by various US Governments? How true is the last statement and how correct was the native gentleman who was quoted?
And yes establishing facts in my statements are very important because if all treaties have been violated then what is America the country's honor worth?
All the treaties were violated. What's to debate, it's fact
It was never about honor for them. They have no honor, the seed essau

The British-Aussie xupertMurdoch group is actively undermining the USA via Fox Entertainment News. Is xupertMurdoch/Lachlan working as a British Subject? Just a thought".
@@robertmarley8852 You and I both agree and know that while millions belief the US is still the land of the free. They need a wake up call.
I dont much like the word "honour", since it basically meanst nothing.
And is used by different people as justification to kill their daughters if the feel "dishonoured", to kill somebody the feel doesnt respect them enough, to fight for bad causes because they feel "honourbound" to their nation, unit, mates ect. Its a bad, wishy-washy word.
The businessworld uses the much more poignant term "contract reliability" to describe if a person, company or polity has in the past kept to its promises.
And to be clear, the US has always been rather bad on that point. Be it with the north american aboriginal people, their own citizens or other nations and international contract regimes.
Just look at the recent iran nuclear deal, on which ALL signatories except the US held that iran was in compliance. While the US in contrast never loosened the sanctions as promised by Obamas signature, and broke it as soon as Trump got into office.
Or look at the international refugee accords, which is openly and blatantly broken every day (although to be fair, the US is far from alone in that).
Look at the rome statutes and the international criminal court, which the US is a signatory of (even if senate never got around to not it off) but very soon made clear that while they love to have a tool to judicate other peoples warcrimes, no US personell will ever be subjected to its rulings.
Still people gather around tables of food, giving thanks to each other, forgetting the Native Brothers and sisters who taught the colonizers, when they were starving, how to grow food in the area, what to grow, what to hunt, how to hunt it. No thanks even to the Creator! I mean at the very lowest levels of “thanks”, acknowledgement of the sacrifices that the indigenous peoples suffered. Honoring the Land “deals”. Might as well be christmas.
Thank you thank you thank you!! I'm a generation of Norwegian decent... totally in agreement!! Thanksgiving?? Is a daily practice in our world of existence... not for the massacres of our U.S. government... our flag today represents the genocides that continue to this day... and the support of such oppression... Palestinians are an excellent example... simply pitiful!!
Not me. Thanksgiving is pagan. I'm straight
Hello brother, If you would allow me, I believe we Are in total agreement. Speaking only for myself, you can see that christmas, santa claus in particular, has his roots in “Norse paganism“. A reflection of what “thanksgiving” represents or has become a representation of, in America today.

Thank you for this informative program. I too refuse to participate in Thanksgiving or Christmas. I am retired and want to do more. We need guidance.
How great is this interview. I am an RN. I want to help.
This made me think about whether we need to create something called Earth Crimes, where violent actions against the environment are persecuted like war crimes by an international tribunal. A fantasy yes but one I hope comes true some day. Coal, gas, mining, paper and agribusiness execs should be the first brought to the court.

@@Noahloveless1 Most Native Americans are part of sovereign nations separate from the U.S. The reason they have these "privileges" is because these are the INALIENABLE RIGHTS OF ALL SOVEREIGN NATIONS (per International Law).

Yes we need America 2.0 time to level up and update our systems and our philos as a nation.
"For the earth to live capitalism must die" what a comfort for the billions that would immediately starve to death
That future is already ordained. We can manage it humanely or we can allow the ultrawealthy to make the decision for us. Allowing the very people who caused this holocaust to be it's only survivors means extinction for humanity. We are all complicit in the destruction of our ecosystem by allowing governments to breed us like cattle to increase their wealth while not giving a damn about the quality of life of the vast majority living in poverty and disease. There is no life without water. Protect the water. There is no life without women who bring new life into this world. Protect women. There is no life without children in this world. Protect the children. If we are mindful of all the implications of this statement we find we are not separate from our environment and we play an active role in its shaping for better or worse.
Congratulations 👏👏
It is self-evident at this stage of human history that if we don't radically change our relationship with the environment that gives us life we are doomed. It is also glaringly apparent that indigenous peoples around the world are here to teach us how to retrieve our souls and return to sanity.

As a grandfather, father and son of the ancestors who suffered (and survived) the slaughter of my people, in Mystic, Conn. I don't "celebrate" Thanksgiving as I was brainwashed to believe was a celebration of "thanks " for the co-existence between two peoples and its significance in the founding a new nation based on freedom. Alternatively, I learned that it was a holiday that celebrated the violent and hateful genocide of the Pequot nation and other indigenous peoples that resisted the Euro-peon colonizers so-called treaties to steal land that was not theirs to begin with. In all reality, the Euro-peon doctrine of "manifest destiny" was based on a twisted understanding of Yah and their so-called Christianity religion...thereby sailing here by the thousands and turning a once fertile paradise into a bloodbath that decimated the First Indigenous Peoples and Tribes of Yah-ho-wa and followed with the enslavement of the original Hebrews of Judah...otherwise known as the Negroes. History is being revealed and the great revival and awakening of the Original Tribes is in effect...Thanksgiving, Christmas, and all these false "holy days" are being exposed for what they really represent.

On the crow creek sioux Indian reservation SD northwest of the town stephan. A large encampment of twenty or thirty Probably more hunkpati Dakota sioux people and a handful of Lakota sioux people were living on Cheney rush, a hilly prairie land country along the Missouri. When a large party of white civilians came with guns and rifles to wrongful blame the Dakota sioux Indians for horse thievery. They started to kill everyone there and buried the dead Dakota sioux bodies on top of a hill. Some Dakota sioux elders were young children at the time saw an witness the tragedy unfolded there will hiding a safe distance away. Many years later they told the story well crying and wipt of the tragic massacre at the Cheney rush massacre! There's no memorial site there because of the forgotten tragedy at the Cheney rush massacre of the Dakota sioux Indians who died there. It's also the most huanted place on the reservation. The last forgotten Dakota sioux Indian people of the 20th century. Someone of the Dakota sioux people were descents of bullghost the Dakota sioux Indian war leader were descents of bullghost the Dakota sioux war leader, The radical leader at the crow creek sioux Indian reservation of 1885 he inspired many Lakota sioux people to the ghost dance uprising of 1890 he inspired many Lakota sioux people to the ghost dance celebration in standing rock SD. Bullghost is also buried on the crow creek sioux Indian reservation SD. Someone led some American civilian looters to Bullghost burial ground to steal his traditional religious items and his tombstone from the his grave site around that same time period. United States of America should respect the fallen Dakotah sioux Indian and Lakotah sioux people of the tragic massacre's took place many decades ago.

Thank you for your outstanding study exposing the ugly side of capitalism and the genocidal history of the US empire.
Nicks statement about indigenous societies having “reciprocity and mutual respect with the human and non human world” is tmk an ahistorical myth. There were multiple first nations people who devastated local ecological systems. Many tribes were explicitly violent and exploitative.
Other than that very insightful interview.
@MestizoMarquez LMAO wtf are you even saying, can you read?
Hey Estès, goode luck with all that once Uncle Sam shuts off the greenback spigot.
I understand the damage that was done to native people in the America's, what would happen if we abandoned the free market system got rid of oil, gas, electricity, cars modern comforts? What would happen if 330 million people would have to live off the land like in the 1700's.? Just pure chaos! Starvation and killing! We do need to do more for indigenous people! Just a horrible situation. What have native people done to preserve native culture. Do you really want to give people free food, housing, land away? Natives fed and housed themselves. It wasn't free anything. God help all north American natives.
I ate two apples and a bit of cheese on thanks-taking day. It was a wakeup call. No matter how bad things get, you can find out how to make smart choices if you rationally track down the source of origin for your problems. Dont give up, ever.

Yes sir, speak that truth 👏 popular or not its the lesson that will teach generation to come on this planet how to follow the planet rules and greed is man curse
What are "planet rules"?
Like when nature takes it's course, volcanos explode, and wipe out everything in their path?
@@serpentines6356 that's because it's nature and we are the invaders who built cities where we not suppose to , we are not the superiors than the planet remember that, get rid of that human arrogant, we destroy eco systems in the name of economic and capitalism, yes we can use what she provides but greed is what we cursed ourselves with, until each one of us understands that , we are just going to be a disaster for ourselves, the planet could wipe us out easy but look around the process is started already and I hope that the majority do something about and stop allowing corrupted government and greedy corporations making back choices on our future generations
Nature is more alive than we will ever understand, meditate on that lol , we are being observed every moment in our lives,
Indigenous peoples need to really step up the resistance.
This man speaks facts. Well done.
Fact is, when they came from Asia the fake "indigenous" colonizers genocided the truly indigenous people that lived here.
Where is the indigenous person at? I don’t see one in this report.
The truth must be told about the genocide, theft, the displacement of millions of people over the last 200 years here on Turtle Island!
500 years
That goes for everywhere on Earth. Truth is so far gone it's up its own ass.
..."Natives" weren't one huge group. If they were, maybe they would've stood a chance. They weren't. The entire history of the world is misery, war and displacement. Making a mascot of the Native American as opposed to a true bastion of nationalism is a disgrace.
Natives are dope bc we still held on to our culture, we didn't die. But we lost the land war, it is fact. We need to move on from the "wrongs" people did 500 years ago. White people suffered too... Get this, some Whites were even displaced from their homeland! Many were massacred. Jews, blacks and Natives aren't the only victims in the world.
Children and annoying women complain "wrongs" from the past. It never helps. We can learn from the past, but we can't give the Natives land and culture back. The best option would've been assimilation. It would be nice if our modern culture had more "native" thinking in it, more focus on harmony rather than capital. But this whole "meh 500 years ago white man bad" narrative is stale and old.
Would love to have Indigenous people rule our nation. We would have clean water, air, land, land preservation, animals, etc.....
American Indians fought American Indians
No we wouldn't. Stop it. And I am indigenous. Your thought is racist and dumb. Every race is capable of harmonious symbiotic environmental relations. Have you ever been to a reservation? They are trashy trailer parks.
It would be nice and it would make a difference to have injuns in the government, but it wouldn't make a difference against the greedy monster that rules the world. Please stop romanticizing Injuns as mythical creatures. Yes, an injun gov would better the environment, which would take at least 25 years. But they would get outclassed in financial warfare and lose an unfair unwanted game once again.
We are not fairytale creatures. We are humans from this land that liked the earth and were behind in tech due to undisclosed reasons. We lost a war for land. It is what it is, and crying doesn't help. We are all Americans now, and the world is facing much bigger problems.
"You are the Indian now, white man..."
If the Europeans had found white people in North America, they would still have tried to subjugate them
So, Virginia. You want to chuck out our Constitution, and Bill of Rights, and have only one particular group of people rule our nation?
I remember a guy in Nazi Germany wanting to have only one type of people ruling over everyone.
Nice Nazi!
The Iroquois Confederacy....America's First Democracy. Look it up...Ben Franklin and others met with them and copied their way of governing. They admired their style of government.
Right on! 🌴😎🤙🏾

Bismarck Mall incident; still colonialist behaviors trying to silence those asking for reason and life for the diverse populations residing on earth.
