obviously on the great american pilgrimage erhard this was the technology that decimated herds of buffalo who ran. the best person some of the best knowledge campbell. it is this news this news richard good to. learn more about the people. everybody i'm stephen baldwin task hollywood guy usual suspects favorite movie proud american first of all i'm just as george washington and r.v.'s just to join the big boys because this is my buddy max famous financial guru and we'll he's a little bit different i'm honest. there were no windows up last but not least my larger than life. the night an aspiring star rio with all the drama happening in our country i'm shooting the road to have some fun.

every day americans call it what's america our ancestors suffered the most and see how things got so crazy i was naked. you might think hopefully start to bridge the gap this is the great american pilgrimage. let's go for i'm not to tell you more with a cold people so you really pick back up with our hero in north dakota and the pilgrimage continues on stephen and dave head out on the road to take a tour of standing rock there we go in tried to sort of be out guys one two three. and stephen is excited to show dave his r.v. and his awesome driving skills somebody gregorio. with the. i don't know just put

them on the bed to lay down the road. what do you think so far did. i read this i'm going to put my name seatbelt on that's important usually the driver awareness the time for me to put mine on. so that's not just some kind of an indian custom and has come so well. as the convenience store david spleens to stephen why starting his own business was important what that means for his people so that was my little store right we bought it probably about fifteen years ago and we've been running it since then there was no indian owned businesses here on standing up and i wanted to show our members that we could do it we could own our own businesses we could have our own commerce with each other sure i wanted to be an example and i also wanted to be a robot we bought it and it was really challenging because. standing off we

have about. forty percent poverty rate. with poverty we have high unemployment we have. high abuses those abuse alcohol abuse high rates a drop of high school drop off. all the symptoms of poverty exists on setting up. and it's a result of all the things that have taken place over time over two hundred years. dave i'd love to hear more about the history of the land yeah there's a long history in the way they took the federal government took and took and took it to the point where not just standing rock but all indian tribes all in the nations are saying stop doing that every since this these lands were discovered we have been considered less than human was a fourteen hundreds what the with the roman catholic church and the people bulls and the. doctor of discovery wanted. discover new lands those lands are yours. and

when the question is asked what about the people who are part of that and they said well they're less than human because they don't know. they don't know about the church and that was in the fourteen hundred. history for this government and. the foundation for the law when it came to property eighteen eighteen twenty three there was a case johnson versus mcintosh and the judge bases ruling off of the doctrine of discovery and that became the foundation of. wasn't eight hundred fifty one where the federal government but we should enter into agreements so there's agreement became the first treaty if you want is a treaty that defined them. where we are today and it was over sixty million acres with the sixty million acres we had disputes because more and more westerners were going through our treaty land to bozeman montana and they called it the bozeman trail from the bozeman trail is that the black hills know that's the bosun

trail goes to bozeman montana the rocky mountains in montana gold and there was gold discovered. that was eighty six years and short a short time after the seventy four. custer general expedition into the black hills in the black hills. the heart of our people our tribe to nation this is our origin story this is where we came from we came from the black hills we came from. and we came with the buffalo one time as far as i can see there were buffalo. the buffalo was everything it was our relatives. he he provided our our housing for us the thirty p.c. provided food he provided tools we provided anything and everything we needed it was he was our economy the buffalo were part of who we are. so railroads. storms

came through our lands and for sport. people on the rail system was she. just killing those pictures than the north. pole bombings of buffalo they have to go out and pick up the buffalo stalls. on the prairie because there were so much everywhere a million so there were seventy million buffalo two hundred by the end of the two hundred there was less than one hundred that changed our will life and that was the that was the result of one infrastructure project so this is the type of stuff that has been happening to our our nation over and over and over in eight hundred seventy seven after gold was discovered the federal government came in and cost them through congress to take more land so they took our black hills by eight hundred eighty nine they put us on a reservation standing rock sioux tribe was established as two point three million acres the size of connecticut. one thousand nine hundred ten. we had less than a million acres left over half of the it was dispersed to non indians coming onto

the reservation for settlement and they disregarded us at that time we were not even considered citizens of this country. we wish we didn't become citizens until nineteen twenty four of those secret prisons so we didn't have a voice we'd have a say but yet every action that they took made an impact on us and the reason why they took the land was for economic development. stephen is learning how the history of the treatment of native americans is repeating what we're going right now as of last year and we have a movement that started here on standing with friends our top story tonight the ongoing dispute at the standing rock reservation tensions are heating up once again at the dakota access pipeline that's where thousands of people have been coming to for months this is a three point eight billion dollars pipeline that cuts across four u.s. states the struggle to protect the drinking water and sastra lands from the pipelines construct. trying is led to violent confrontations between activists who

call themselves water protectors and the police if you were to come here last year at this time there would be cars horseback riders and tepees there were people coming from all over we had over ten thousand people from the standing rock and they came because we're standing up against. this pipeline is going to cost on the other side of the river and if anything happens to it the first people impacted by this right are people. we wanted to do a more in-depth. study environmental impact statement what impact will it have on people as well. this is where they can feel right but also this whole field right here this whole field on the side was the cap was the chief piece and everything and on top of media center but it was nicknamed facebook kill. you know this ill here. in my facebook killed because i was only place people could get on facebook

well thank goodness for that. there wasn't even wife i was just just getting ready to write but any connection to the internet was really fun and this was the main entrance into the cast and flags from all the nations that came and visited all fun and not like that one fly post and the other you come around the corner there's a bridge here and this is called the backwater bridge there was a confrontation here where the militarized police watered down protesters. with water extreme temperatures cold temperatures and they use water and if you go around the corner is where everything really started there was a the role of the pipeline and then they needed to build an access road access road was being built that's where the main. protest began about was another alter case and we had there was a attack dogs use so as time progressed the police became more and more militarized more and more force was used and there were more and more people coming. there are

thousands of people right now heading to standing rock to be water protectors. maybe military buildup just like you know with the guy the street looks like the group amnesty international says it's very concerned about how police in north dakota have treated protesters it says the use of force by police violates protesters rights to a peaceful protest i watched people shot with rubber bullets i watched peaceful prayerful water protectors get mace and pepper sprayed and none of them fighting back one time we had measured all around the world. to stand with over four thousand veterans that said all the people and that's what happened here there was an awakening because there was an awakening tribes namo that this is a turning point for us to try to make our lives better and come away from. what the the federal government has left who supported by the way that. they're not able people are wondering if they're going to and not not tomorrow. right here where the

upcoming approaches that's where the pipeline crossing actually is this route coming up here on the right and you could turn there to turn around. because you well there were no land this guard but on the go go build. on. the news. so this is this is our community cannonball these are good halls of being an urban development sure they're lower income housing and the rent depends on the salaries that you make so the incentive not to work because if you don't have income you don't have to pay for the house there's not enough although a. lot of people who live here right. we get little things like this this is.

during katrina they needed temporary holding. and after housing wasn't needed they gave to them and they shipped them up here for us all the problem with these is they are very low efficient so. the hundred bucks a month in the wintertime eight hundred bucks a month to cool in the summertime. so it's just a bad design that's a bad idea but it's one the solution and all that and i'll be ready for this climate but it's better than nothing what we got here this is the kind of voluntary school so what's with the fence around just an elementary school well anticipated. being that you can't be within fifty feet of a school they put the fence up to remind you.

survival. of the stored safely. repatriations look at the rest of seventy years. of the. work. i didn't think the numbers mean something the matter us is over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten dollars more in tamping each. eighty five percent of global wealth he wants to be rich the point six percent market saw thirty percent last year some with four hundred to five hundred three per second per second and one rose to twenty thousand dollars. china's building two point one billion dollars

a i industrial. but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only number you need to remember is what one does that shows you can afford to miss the one and only. in america. right now what we got here this is the kind of allah mentioned school so what's with the fence around just an elementary school well anticipated that you are common in this area and then be within fifty feet of a school they put the fence up to remind you. just to turn left. your ouse and stephen does his best to get further than fifty feet away from the school we can turn to. dave's house which is one hundred feet of earth. what we're going to do is we're going to drive straight up here and then we will just back all i'm going to turn left here back at there to go out the same one

a street in the back. i'm going to be. a big test being. creative and just put a cherry on top and say hey dave i've driven these suckers a whole bunch and it's. it's it's it's your lambs but it's my army actually it belongs to the good people at outdoorsy ok. i was just going to help you. steven and dave head inside so stephen can get a little more personal. opinion on know you or. i'm curious about you the stars because you're a little rambunctious in a cruel sense of humor but you have your knowledge is extensive like you almost talk like a lawyer but you don't have a lot of gray so i'm just wondering how did you have ten all this knowledge.

good to hear where did you find the time to go to law school i went to law school i got an honorary degree from vermont last. asked me to come and give a part in full am i went and i was on it is an honor to get up. there with. anybody rick if you heard of trying to destroy the only law school and its a dr of law what makes it even better so i got a doctorate degree we could be that quick from there where you from did you play ball with i was raised on the pine ridge reservation all the way up to sixth grade my dad was a coach he was the head coach for basketball he was the head coach for cross-country and in one nine hundred seventy nine his team won. country states by the time i reached sixth grade he became the director slash basketball coach for united types technical college so he brought us up to bismarck north dakota after high school.

nicole she actually snag me if you remember nicole was dave's wife from the last episode. became my high school sweetheart we ended up going to bismark state college so who talked to you first so i'll tell you what happened. that's what i want to know we were we were. good friends her dad worked with my dad but she didn't know. i had a major crush on her she was like the most beautiful tree in the world and then when i was a senior and i was playing basketball. i said if i score thirty points today and i get a kiss this is ok so what the cold doesn't know is that i can score anytime i want but i don't i try to get the team i'm a team player i want everybody to skip school. so we play and i

score thirty points. so that i get a kiss and it's like why are. usually you know there's an old saying. when you're dating someone you want to score some points you literally took the literal idea and in order to score some points you scores points you can ask her if that's true. i think this is right below my hogs and they're saying this is where we're going to clean it up when we say what impact is it going to have unless they say oh it's there's no impact you have nothing to worry about but we know it is because we were told the same thing over and over and then i say what why do you need this infrastructure project what's the reason for crossing the river with this pipeline. this point and they said well we need it for three reasons we need it for economic development we need it for energy independence for

steven he is good further insight into the problems facing the ancestors of the original americans. now our hero sets his sights on the midwest where he will hopefully find max and continue on this great. job. next time on the great american pilgrimage he's going to get good for the next eight years now. this is the worst. i was told by your crew. and production. feeding them yeah you know they were hungry i'm working all day and we can do that i have the power to do that. now that all the. while you had more than one.

tracking gave americans a lot of new job opportunities i needed to come up here to make some money i could make twenty five thousand dollars as a teacher or i could make fifty thousand dollars a year truck so i chose to drive trucks people rush to a small town in north dakota was an unemployment rate of zero percent like the gold rush is very very similar to a gold rush but this beautiful story ended with pollution and devastation a lot of people have left here i don't know too many people here anymore just slow down so much they lost their jobs got laid off the american dream is changing that's not what it used to be. and it's a tough reality and. seemed

wrong. when all were all just all. yet to stamp out this thing because to educate and engage with equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart when you choose to look for common ground . prosecution will need to become almost. cold where you question the threat of fines. by the number one perceived i mean yeah i mean i mean did our political pressure on that god you've. told on earth were securely jenison knows what the kind of business models he was by american corporations jadhav was sold on could be mental disease or use the controls on the scene and the

solution. is up in association with. newton he saw as it is just simply the deleted data and investigative documentary. ghost war on oxy.
