hello and welcome to the france twenty four interview our guest today is madonna thunder hawk she's a legendary american indian activists she is the co founder of women of old red nations 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 paparticipated in- some of the famous- moments- the occupation of the alcatraz jaileled in california back in nineteen sixty nine then there was the helmet of wounded knee in nineteen. seventy three- but you became an activist essentially because you were confronted as a very young

child with the issue of being an american indian in a country where. there were tensions are on the issue. well yeah i. it started i guess when i was young. because of the federal u. s. federal government had- they had american indian policies t through the decades t depends on what what. he is in control of the government at the time whatever. so theyey had a boarding schchool system. fofo our people nationwide on different reservations and they were boarding schools to take the children. away frorom t t famimilies andnd put them in the boardingng schools where they're taught- b basicalally to be a nn nanative. right and me you your recounts- old old those years- documentary we see the t. shirt

the warriorr women that's the title of- the documentary and- your front and center- with- your daughter and the documentary is by. christina king- and elizabeth- castle and having in theaters here in france- this s 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 f felt that you had. to say something and nonot only to say something but to act. yes it was a progression. learning along the way because you have to remember our ancestorsrs didn't have a written language 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 knee i mean wouldn't you were several weeks- seventy two days seventy two days of us sometimes filing fees- for- withh the f. b. i.i. with the with the police- how did you live that time and did you realize that this could be. a dangerous but you felt that this was the thing that needed to be done to put your issue on the map if i may use the expression we were of the core

group of the american indian movement we were on- invited. of trips 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 their troubles or problems- and you know just to make contact because we were invited to go. so i had my ten year old son with me and we were gonna make our rounds o on thehe reservatin visit the communities and then go back to where w we were in rapid city off the reservation we were gathered there. end basically we were confronted. in the hamlet of wounded knee which is a very symbolic place on this very symbolic because there was a massacre in eighteen ninety there. and it's kind of like it it was not so much now but it was a major tourist attraction. because many of thee us soldiers back in eighteen ninety ththey were. up

medals of honor. for the massacre i meaean that's the kid of hisistory that we know the other side. of the history so- but the fact that we werere liliterally surrounded. and helo there i mean when we were on our way to another village. but gunfire you k know opened up in anand we were we all had to run for cover. at that hammond lasted for seventy two days right i mean do you think it was a seminal moment would you say- thatt in the ensuing years- progress was made in terms of- the us recognizing- what happened to the american indians would you say that today- your cause is a more respected more listen to or it's still. a struggle that you still feel that american indians- may have less fear of the government and other minorities for instance. well i

say we because mostly it's people are activist. and of our people that that i'd 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 today but know that a united states government has never ever. are honored any of the treaties that were r ratified by congress. which makes it a lot of land- just by totally ignoring the provisisions and then violating many off the provisions by jusust steppinin n and taking land. occupying land that's undnder the treaty. so yeah it it is. whatever comes. in america recognition of anything for our people comes from. are doing to make it an issue like standing out for example. that was a treaty rights issue o of land and wate.

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 the keystone xl pipeline- we seen the kind of. meeting of minds. between environmental activist and american indian. activist we even saw- the now. famous young swedish active it's great that the thunder go very recently- to an indian amemerican- reseservation to really say okay this is an important issue. could this. give a new life maybe to europe because you think it's important to join hands with them we've always had allies we've always made allies. in my day in younger

years in the sixties and seventies. we it w was uraniumu. mining that was a threat in fact they're still waiting in the wings waiting to come in the uranium mining corporations. but bacack in that seventies. that that was the issue then so it's always because w were land based we're always as a people concerned about the environment and extracting corporation but others are more involved as well. especially the y youth soi meanan thihis give this givive u hope you knonow that's this coud also help your cause nine. well it's- you look at it t 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 their era. their their future so we

look to them to step up. right it's also the era of donald trump and- chili 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 tom donald trump. it has a bigger 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 r right so for you- drawing new. trump is like obama there's no difference except the big mouth. big mouth and policy because the ones that are backing him up and putting in their control

the senate of the united states governmement that's where 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 may chorus. 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 obama. don't stop dapple pipeline and trump is it back and he brings backs kicks out that's the politics and talking about the politics 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 optimistic today than you were. when you started. no why why because again we are land based this i is a continuing.

contininuing 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 t to the next generatin 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- the if you want to learn more. about the issue we've been talking about warrior women is- coming out in theaters- in friends thank you for watching this interview. seventy one
