it boded our entire show they have wallace who tried to pine ridge reservation in south dakota but it simply wasn't enough and so tonight we'll continue to explore one of the most important and under reported issues in america today the abysmal failure by the federal government to uphold centuries old treaties and the avenues that the soup people are taking on power themselves and build a sustainable future now let's break the said. the leaders of the teams they are looking very hard to take that are the. one that he ever had sex with that hurt there are those. that believe. the to.

the extent that. the black hills of south dakota contains some of the oldest mountains in the world it's an area of five thousand square miles that have been held sacred to the lakota people for hundreds of years nine hundred sixty eight the us government signed the fort laramie treaty which granted sovereignty the native residents and prevented outside settlers from ever occupying the land however this all changed in eight hundred seventy four when gold was discovered miners flooded the area in just under a decade the us government had taken near full control of the black hills fast forward a century to one thousand nine hundred eighty when a landmark supreme court decision granted one hundred six million dollars in the suv for both damages and ownership of the land but tribal leadership refused to entertain the notion that the black hills could be bought with interest. all the

land with then this red border that is not dark brown was stolen by the federal government and given to the white people the black hills should be restored to its proper ownership. aside from the forced destruction of a culture and the genocide that took place against the indigenous population of north america and one of the darkest stains that carries over to this day is a blatant violation of over five hundred longstanding treaties between the federal government and a merican community every single one of these treaties is either been changed or destroyed over the years despite the words of andrew jackson who stated as long as the grass grows in the water runs these treaties will never be

broken so the talk about the meaning of these treaties in the historical context of where pine ridge finds itself today i spoke with floyd looks from buffalo hand heads going to the sioux nation treaty council i first asked him how christianity has played a role in this aeration of native culture. in american immigrants was takers do not give yours and it all started from christianity di ark you have the pap of will so what has happened since that they used to tool of christianity europeans to control and because of the military and i kind of felt outward afterwards going from this country to another country because that's the way i was brought up if

a your opinion is so smart why can't they speak our language. if they have dr degree and everything oh i can't these people are language and live the way we live. they forget they're a very important part of their upbringing is the curriculum they call family tree every one of you we are bloodline comes from a different. entity from iraq so so this is what sas taken control and divided over thirty four million native people killed here on behalf of christianity in the united states government used the native. cultural

standards to formulate united states government everything that the united states government have done after the him in pain and a native people even these tires everything that was made here drunk canadian plates to spoon these are all under our language which is the treaty this is under our law seven laws we have as treaty and people need to look behind where they come from europe in south fine don't want to live behind who they are they do really don't want to find out of it what do you say to people who say we can't go back to fortunately the only way to move forward with a treaty and treaty is you. why do you think you live read.

my ancestors come here and live here. and grapple by giving end to indonesia and give them billions of dollars because you give a right to bring up your children give you a house place to you know rape the country so this important people in young generation need to know why do they impinge always under that should violate the treaty and forcing themselves on to destroy mother earth destroying the language. destroying it that was rightfully ours when we're not angry we speak the truth we're not frustrated we speak the reality of the european people develop a curriculum that all chinamen black man red man white

man strips stick to their own cultural languages status forcing themselves up to believe in something that the other nations don't believe in afghanistan korea vietnam we have no business over there and we're going to lose is there any way to save the earth from ourselves we believe in the great spirit which you call god we all believe in god and you guys been created a book that you can read it yourself and they'll tell you things that are common there but you did a little read between inland it tells you how to save yourself and majority of the people who go out of christianity out in the world only know between that line and that's very simple very simple as is given you shall receive

it's simple it is. good well their self and humble yourself and respect yourself and they would ask for anything in return and there guide you to the point where you can be free earlier you were speaking about fighting fire with fire can you talk about the conflict between the ira and the traditional government travel consuls inactive body united states government so therefore the only limit that they don't have solve an authority they don't have the no sovereign protection wants to raise your hand to the united states government to serve the united states government using colonization and simulation with. get with that way of thinking of native people into the concept to live you know so that that's where they

will need that money but i made it people i've been taught to work give me i remember when i when i screw that and they're not a well mechanic lay bricks and butcher and the fifth one was. create bricks. and so when we came out of high school we had a welding. we had a trade we can go to work why are the black hills not for sale i believe is that if we ever lose control. of that area that we give in to pray and protect self-destruction will be brought on in place of that nature has a language i live by looking not every day and finding out what the weather is going to be tomorrow you know and now is preparing myself

with the animals could they tell you what is coming also and now in two thousand and sixteen to two thousand and twenty is the big change that they had also in our prophecies what was prophesied they call that the seven fire he said those that would live as. hard as a say the people that have come from afar with their gifts and those that have brought the gets to not listen and but still stand with the gift that they brought which is technology. they in turn will destroy themselves for it is there anything else you'd like to say when you state treaty just our way of life. it's a way of life just the way we think the way the the way we you know.

and it would leave what told me you don't see anything matching the map to be near . your european house play everything's got a match curtain and chairs. somebody can sit on the course of the break you. don't want to tender heard anybody screaming split i want them to look within themselves starts. and make a decision before it's too late because people need to think about the next generation seven generation for their children and i have a clip where we are going there we met you know that for the future generation. thank you very much was a pleasure sitting on. your best part one of our coverage of pine ridge yesterday be sure to watch where hope meet the spare. break in the sun

and also please let you know that yesterday was our three hundred episode and that we just hit ten million views on our channels thank you everyone for watching and subscribe in the ground right after the break. lol but i will only react to situations i have read the reports. and know i will leave the state to comment on your letter please say. no. thank you no more. when you need a direct question see pretty for a change when you. get ready for a. freedom of speech and a little on the freedom to. sixteen

percent imports came from illegal fishing. the european union is ironically taking fish from some of the poorest nations on earth so this is a very serious and very urgent problem that needs immediate international action. on the territorial waters they fish they load the fish on to the ships and leave. it to day illegal fishing just taking the bread out of our mouths. you kill preemptively restrict your freedoms because of the fear of what something or how something might be used everything that has been developed has been used for a bad purpose baseball bats which are fun for you know for baseball players to hit balls you know they've also been used to be people today i mean we cannot restrict

ourselves because something might be used in the wrong way. we speak your language. news programs and documentaries in spanish matters to you. use a little too much of angle story. here. that the spanish. visit. during my time. at the state a solar powered lodge in the heart of the reservation was built singlehandedly by henry read the fifth generation of. chief red cloud the only native american lawyer

to ever defeat the us army at war one of most important leaders in american history so they had to use this as logic conduct workshops on renewable energy and teach the oglala sioux tribe everything there is to know about solar and wind power i sat down with henry to discuss the legacy of his great great grandfather and how renewables and help build a sustainable future for the reservation. we grow up learning about crazyhorse in american history but not red cloud you're his great great grandson what is the legacy of red cloud mean to you basically his whole life being a warrior more to leader of the good people diplomat peacemaker. all of that gives me an understanding you know direction on what they saw you know grandfather spector which included you know sitting bull big for this spot it. a young man afraid of his horses red cloud and the various ones that was

able you know fortunate to go out east in one state return day they said you know people were living on top of each other and there was no way that war can continue and be won so they need to agree strategize and look to seven generations on how. can. we'll survive how they can adapt to this new way so that's what i'm doing here today is offering the old ways in looking towards renewable energy to become you know sustainable well why was red cloud such an important figure in american history. he he was able to you back when they had gold rush out west out there they had this trail that they called the bull was meant to go in in you know history books there so. they called it red cloud's

war and he was. he in the cheese that i mentioned as well as to wrap a hole in the china and were able to. shut the road down which encompassed you know three forts along the way nebraska wyoming and montana forts feather men curry and bozeman forts he was able to. close the road down stop stop. western. everybody was had at west everybody decided our there was there were stories over and you know gold you know gold nuggets laying everywhere there was a huge you know a stampede of people and at that time there were just only protecting and. their way of life there in our culture language it's hunting the buffalo and all

that so. he made a huge impact back then with luck caught the knuckle at the dakota post and in a shine and said what do you see as the biggest threat facing our coliseum today. we're livin you know two lives here we live the western culture eastern culture as well as our own so we're livin it's like. two different patterns. and. it's to rally the community we still have that concept here family extended family in that. community. and to to. to do small things rallied you know community you know bring in the community together do small things small projects and get everybody involved because at the grassroots

level people want and they would like a change they would like to see a chance right now we're sitting in a solar powered lodge that you yourself built with your own hands what drove you to do this and what made you devote your life to renewable energy thinking of my grandfather's. dream his vision on how to coexist with the non-natives he said it was like a like a cup of water non-natives are like a couple water of if the water. should fall over the water goes underneath things around things just floods the whole place to. anything and that's its path that that takes out. and he said that we need to. balance with this new way in order to survive we're looking down

seventy you know generations so in turn all of these grandfathers they feel their pipes. made a. sacred pack and prayers and said you know generation here we are i'm the fifth my children my grandchildren soon you know seven in the generation so thinking about the changes that he won that. was because he was a warrior or chief defending their way of life of being a look at them and. and was able to see go out to new york city washington d.c. back in one thousand nine hundred and seeing how much you know people were out there ok this is what we need to do we need to come back make some kind of peace agreement and then we need to look to the seven generation

going. so people can still live and this generations to come so utilizing take in my understanding that he said it's take a look at the it's it's a good way of life and then take the non-native and there's a few things in their debts good take those combine them and come up with a unique thing that you understand and then non-native understands how realistic would it be to implement renewables across pine ridge and what renewables work right now on the reservation were in the area we were put in the area or so windy in the sun shines all the time to get so hot and. we have here here we have over

three hundred days of you know sunlight you know poor year and in the wind blows all the time so we were put in those all these areas were over time now it's been a hundred and forty forty years over time we have something you know and. it's something that we're already in bracing in a real sense our language culture and all this and so we had all of this comes back full circle we have a commodity we can do something. but we think big wind farms solar farms. i have been. doing renewables now if or fifteen years here on the rest started out doing it just as a hobby stumbled on the fact that hey this works this can really in as well

as creating new jobs when it comes to the overall problems humanity is facing today materialism consumers an endless war what knowledge do you think humanity can learn from the oglala sioux tribe i believe that you know at some point in our lives we all your north some people you know we report to it as a walkabout we're not you know really connected so we go out we leave we get to a certain age then we go or maybe even say ok take a walk about it could be work in here or go or you know searching and not really you know some people walk all their lives and walk about all their lives it's getting reconnected to your you know getting reestablished taken risks and getting . in and you know some people take this walk about be gone for three four years and

say aha i know what to do now and then i know what i have to do and it's basically just get reconnected through everything that's you know natural of the earth the wind that blows through your hair and the sun and all of this stuff just didn't get reconnected where do you see pine ridge ten years from now. there is a change there's a change coming we've been. i believe that you know pine ridge is. where had it for something really good. economically everything that we've been trying to do for the past hundred forty years things ever are going to happen because all of these old guys their grandmothers their grandpa was at that time that made that sacred pack for seven generations here we are ok we got that you

shout going now babies are are here so the next you know ten years it's going to be a positive change things are going to change of course when there's a huge you know change are there's a change within oneself there's always you know something there on a roll a stumbling block or something but we nevertheless just you know move forward. i see a good within the next you know ten years with you know a curtain current knowledge of you know people here on the rise there is going to be a huge story and henry what do you think your great great grandfather red cloud would say if you saw pirates today. probably cry i think he would he would cry he had. one of the grandfather said. but i think you would cry feel bad and brace people and tell

people a real you are sure people that you know things are going to be good. to give that power hug. that's what we all need to do is get each other you know power hugs pat on the back you're doing great just you know keep on going how can i get involved how can i. and. so you know. if you should you know come back i think some emotions will happen but he'll be happy he'll be happy hope of seeing them but you know people are are doing not only myself but there's a whole array of you know people here doing stuff and here i would encourage unity . which you know needs to happen at one time you know a tribe was all all unified in a trice were working together moving together harvesting together doing all

of these things together. going to war together you know defending their way of life defending you know children grandmothers you know females and. i think. he would reassure you that things are going to be great well clearly the spirit of red cloud lives in you and lives and millions of people still today thanks for sitting down with me that's a great inspiration to talk to you thank you very. finally from kind ridge here there are prayers for the tribe and the world. oh oh.
