is madonna thunder hawk she's a legendary american indian activists. she is the co founder of women of old red nationss thank you very much for being on the france twenty four sets. thank you. so you were born on an indian reservation in. south dakota you become. you became an activist in the nineteen sixties your participated in- some of the famous momentt said- the occupationon o of- the alcatraz jailed in. california back in nineteen sixty nine then that the helmet of wounded knee. in nineteen. seventy three. the she became an activist essentially because you were confronted. as a very young child with the issue of being an american indian in a country wherere. there were tensions are on the issue. well yeah i. it

started i guess when i was young because on the federal u. s. federal government had- they had american indian policies througugh thehe decades it depes on what what. he is in control of the government at the time whatever. so o they had a boardingng school system. for or people nationwide on different reservations and they were boarding schools to take the childrdren. away fromom the families. and put them in thehee boarding schoolsls where they're taught- basically to be a non native. right and- me you your recounts- old old those years- documentary we see the t. shirt the warrior women that's the title of- the documentary and- your front and center- with- your daughter and the docucumentary is by. christina king yeah and it was a bit castle and having in theaters

here in france this week. . this notion that as a child who were already. ostracized and forced- to move then led you to the nineteen sixties those. movements where- you felt that you had. to say something and not only to say something but to act. yes it was a progression. learning along the way because you have to remember our ancesestors dididnt hahave a writtenen languagage so anything that was written over the- decades was written by others other than our people so. for a long time no one really knew our history. until basically the sixties and then- all over the country in the united states was a collector's cultural people so we had a chance to start learning. what really happened to our ancestors to our people and why we were in the state we are

today you know- and why. do we still have reservations diminish the land based but we still have a land base in the united states that's important. right and that this- led to some actions i mention all good for us the wounded k ke i m mean woululdn't you were several weeks- seventy two days seventy two days. of a sometimes filing fees- for- with the f. b. i. with the with the police- how did you live that time and did you realize that this could be a dangerous but you f felt that that wasas the thing that needed to be done. t to puts your issue on the map i may use pressure we're are the core group of the american indian movement we were on- instated. of chips on the reservation the pine ridge indian reservation. and we were going from one community to the next we were invited to go and

listen to ththeir troubles or problems and you know just to make contact because w we were invited to go. so i had my ten year old son with me and we were gonna make our rounds on the reservation visit the communities and then go back to where we were in rapid city off the reservation we were gathered there. and basically we w were confronted. in the hamlet of wounded knee which is a very symbolic place on this very symbolic because they were massacre in eighteen ninety there. and it's kind of like it it is not so much now but it was a major tourist attraction. because many of the us soldieres back in eighteen ninety or given up medals of honor. for the massacre mean thahat's the kind of histstory that we know the other side. of the history so- but the fact that we were literally surrounded. and h helo there i mean w when we weree on

ourr way to anotother vivillaget gunfiree you know opened up in and we were we all had t to run for cocover. . at that hammond lasted for seven days right i mean do you think it was a seminal moment would you say- that's in the ensuing years- progress was made in terms of- the u. s. recognizing- what happened to the american indians would you say that today- your call. is a respected more listen to or it's still a struggle that still feel that the american indians- maybe. less the governmentnt thahan other partis for instance. well i say we because mostly it its people land activist. and of our people that that i you know involved with mainly we do have tribal governments that are recognized by the federal

government and that's how the nation to nation- relationship is. but no the united states government has never ever. are honored any of the treaties that were ratified by congress. which makes into law the lan- just by totally ignoring thehe provisioions and then violating many of the provisionons by just step in and taking land occucupying land that's under. o yeah it it is whatever comes in america of recognition of anything for our people comes from are doing to make it an issue like standing out for example that was a true rights issue of law and water. so we have to do that we have to. you know make the noise so that they look and it's the people and organizations in in america that make the government. notice right- away what's interesting and we've seen this- through- move more

recent- protests against- oil or gas pipelines the dakota access pipeline- for instance there's t the keystone xl pipeline- we seen the kind of. meeting of minds. between the environmental activist and american indian. give it- we even saw- that now- famous- young swedish active it's great that the t thunder go very recently- to- and i in american- reservation to really say okay this is an important issue. this given you life maybe to europe because you think it's important to join hands withh them we've always had allies we've always made allies in my day in younger years in the sixties and seventies. we uranium. mining that was a threat in fact is still waiting in the wings waiting to come in the uranium mining corporations. but back in that

seventies. that thahat was t t issusue then so it's always because we're land based we're always as a people concerned about the environment and an extra. rations but all are more involved as well. especially the youth s so i mean does this give you hope no that could also help your call. well it. look at it in terms of- i've been it for the long haul since i was young but now i'm an elder so our our generation of activists we step back and we are there to support and advice it's a young people's time now it's era their their future so we look to them to step up. right it's also the era of donald trump and- actually in terms of- backing corporate interests including- those pipelines you know the administration has been pushing but more broadly- what do you make of him the way he- he

talks about others about minorities. about american indians how would you describe him well from our point of view. american policy. has always been a policy of taking. so just the fact that top donald trump. it has a miles. and doesn't know issues is beside the point point for us as a people because we are concerned always about federal american indian policy which changes with politics right s so for you- drawingng new. trump is like obama there's no difference except the big mouth. big mouth and see because t the ones that are backing him up and putting in their control the senate of the united states government thahas where t the real danger is it's not trump he's just a big mouth. that's all but he's been considered- as a racist- by malee chohorus. but again we aren't we know

politics and how it affects us. so you know we it's always been like i said the politics of taking. so the fact that he brings. well my- the old stops dapple pipeline and trump. is it back and he brings backs kicks out that's the p politics and talalking about the p polits of taking we understand that for decades you know rights so it's nothing new just as a last question- you've been an activist of for the long haul as youths are you more up to. today than you were when you stop. no why because againin we are land based t this i is a cocontinuing continuing up a politics of taking so it really doesn't matter each generation of my people are responsible you're responsible for your time. that you're here to do

what you can and then you. mentor and hand off to the next generation it's a very time their future and you're there to support. okay madonna thunder hawk thank you so much for coming on the france twenty four- sets- it is going to learn more. about the issue we've been n talking aboutut warrior women is- coming out in theaters- in friends thank you for watching this interview. the blue project is a platform for residents of france's disadvantaged suburbs to tell their own stories. we provide the camera in there their experiences to break down cliches about the brand new.
