heritage biden harris county paying have an agenda for the indian american community they sing this is what we're going to do for you indian americans if you vote for us and then there's this friendship between modi and president trump when it comes to deep issues seamer what do you think will be the defiant deciding factor on which way these 1200000 voters may well lou. ok so the older generation. still has a deep connection with india and they feel that president trump respects india that's the word they use very often when i talk to them and it cannot be denied that under tram in the administration certain things were done that the democrats were unwilling to do for example selling india weapons that he wanted armed drones quite some do better sort of monitor the borders in america time domain that's one thing and generally the trump administration has been out there vocally on the china issue and india and china are having a serious border situation jainas occupying a quite a bit of the territory it's on the indian side of the line of control these thing

>> we were a core group of the american indian movement. we invited trips on the pine ridge indian reservation. we were going from one community to the next. we were invited to go to listen to their troubles, their problems, just to make contact. we were invited. i had my 10 euros son with me. we were going to make our rounds on the reservations and then go back to where we were in rapid city off the reservation. confronted inere the hamlet of wounded knee. >> which is a very symbolic place. >> very symbolic, there was a massacre in 1890. it was, not so much now, it was a major tourist attraction because many of the soldiers back inn 1890 were given medals of honor for the massacre. that is the e kind of histotoryt we know, the other side of the history. the fact ththat we were literaly surrouounded and held there. we werere on our way to anotothr village, b but gunfire opened u, and we all hahad to run for cov. would you say that in the ensuing years progress was made in terms of the u.s. recognizing what happened to the american indians? w

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 w

madonna: we were a core group of the american indian movement. on invited trips on the reservation, the pine ridge indian reservation. we were going from one community to the next. we were invited to go and listen to their troubles, their problems, and just to make contact because we were invited to go. i had my 10-year-old son with me, and we were going to makeke ouour rounds on thee reservatio, visit the communities, then go back to where we were in rapid city off the reservation. we were gathered there. and basically we were confronted in the hamlet of wounded knee. >> which is a very symbolic place. olivia: very simple -- madonna: very symbolic because theas a massacre there in 1800s. many of the sololdiers in 1890 were given medals of honor for the massacre. that is the kind of history that we know the other side of the history. but the fact that we were literally surrounded and held there -- when we were onon our y to another villalage. but gunfire opened up and we all had to run for cover at that hamlet. it lasted for 72 days. >> do you thi

americans. this is a stark contrast. i have worked with her. as an indian american we were elected on the same night into congress, same night as donald trump. i celebrate her blackness. i celebrate her being an aapi. my family in india is thrilled. >> on shear politics, i've been amazed that there has not been more realization, more out reach on the part of our major political parties toward the south asian community, indian american community. look around you in the united states. i was very curious to see the trump campaign had a big fund-raising event in texas in the indian american community there. no one need tell you the size, the prosperity of this population and how we are as a country. hold a mirror up to the united states. i think the naming of senator harris to your point is going to ignite a major chunk of our population. it is. you know, i think the aapi community broadly is often left out of the discussion and there's lots of reasons for that. the reality is that south asian americans, indian mile per hoam particular, have been a strong democ

didn't american border is it important only to get candidates elected or does it also somehow impart traditions between india and the u.s. . there is some relation of course i mean for a lot of indian american voters the relation in good relation to be in the united states and india does matter it is one of the issues on their policy agenda that they would like to see. to see materialized and so so i that sense we did see for example on saturday on august 15th which is india's independence day bull joe joe biden and coming to harris. making a statement about the need american community on india's independence day so there is that connection but ultimately i think this is this is really about a minority community in the in the united states and they have a set of issues one of only one of which is relations with with india that resonate and that matter quite a lot for them i'd like to talk to the indian government surely there would be a preference potentially in the current didn't government dealing either with a biden wire towers or trump white house which do you think the preferred and why. well you know i don't think there's a strong preference either way i think each candidacy

she founded the society of the american indian. this was an activist society that really promoted equal rights for native americans. it was a long and lonely road for native americans. they were not considered citizens of the united states until 1924, four years after the nineteenth amendment ostensibly granted citizens the right to vote. that did not apply to native americans. ever since, native americans continue to fight for their rights including most recently in north dakota when voter enfranchisement laws actually made it so that you cannot vote unless you have a physical address. a lot of native americans living on reservations have po boxes as their address. they are not allowed to vote under these current laws. i just wanted to point out also, citizens of the united states who include citizens of puerto rico, looking at a portrait that was made in 1992, she was quite elderly at this time. the first female governor of san juan. in 1932 was a suffragist, actually advocating for the right to vote among literate white women res

as a result, she was able to found the society of the american indian. this was an activist society that really promoted equal rights native americans. it was a long and lonely road for native americans. they were not even considered citizens until 1924. four years after the amendment granted the right to vote. that did not apply to native americans, and ever since, native american have had to continue to fight for their rights, including most recently in north dakota, when voted enfranchisement laws made it so that you cannot vote, unless you have a physical address. a lot of native americans living on reservations have po mailboxes. they are not allowed to vote under these current laws. if we continue -- i want to point out also citizens of the x, citizens of the u.s., including citizens of puerto rico. we are looking at a portrait made in 1992. she was quite elderly at this time, but elected as the first female governor and in 1932, she was a suffragette. she was advocating for the right to vote among the literate white women. in puerto rico. she was t

a treaty with those known as american indian. we are not talking about the past. we are talking about the present. we did enslave millions of people for no other reason except they were black and we did make a lot of money out of slave labor. this is not uncommon. it is a part of human history. but it is one thing to do something, and another thing to deny it. the doctrine of manifest destiny reassured all white americans that as white people in regard to civilization, they have the right and the duty to exterminate whatever stood in the way of the superior civilization. and as for sambo, though it can slavery is a strange road to take in order to civilize someone, but that was the argument, so that we can see, examine the legends, the discovery in africa, the noble savage. , i amthe middle passage [indiscernible] singing and dancing, the noble savage will translate into the happy darkie. no one knows how this happened. we are living with these myths until the day and it corrupts the view from here. in the effort to deny whence we came, we have had to make up a se

not an easy feat for an african-american woman. an indian american woman as well, but she managed obviously to do that and you see in donald trump, somebody who's so use d o using a kind of race baiting language and sexist language. you see him going to his playbook, a playbook that worked so well for him in 2018 against hillary clinton. you see him going against harris in that same way in some of his comments. and you imagine you'll see some of that from other folks in the party and will generally, just the culture as well. the culture is sort of primed to be racist and sexist, so i think it will be interesting to see some of the conversation that comes out of this very historic pick. >> and david, you are looking at these polls that are coming out kaley and i suppose there were, there was a lot of talk about you know, which running mate would have affect ed the polls n various ways. one of the things i think we're picking up on is how harris might help joe biden bolster you know, that independent vote out there, or at least keep it from sp

americans. biden: as a child of immigrants, she knows personally how immigrant families enrich our country as well as the challenges of what it means to grow up black and indian american in the united states of america. her story is america's story. beren: and, mike, will it tough against trump? mike: well, it will be a very tough fight against trump. the campaign is going to be bruising. already, president trump hurling out insults in the form of tweets, but one must remark also, as other observers have seem to that democrats be responding immediately to the nomination of kamala harris. they have had a lot of time to do their background work on her. however, there was no clear republican strategy. onsident trump fell back racial stereotypes, on using stereotypes like "american housewives will vote for me," code for white housewives. you will get this ongoing insult coming from the campaign, but from the biden/harris side, you will see a movement towards establishing a common agenda. they differ on a number of issues, and that is something they're going to have to work out in the days ahead to form a concrete strategy, a common strategy, to counter whatever p

she founded in 107 the society of the american indian merchandise and this was an activist society that really promoted equal rights for native-americans. it was a long and lonely road for native-americans. they weren't even considered citizens of the united states until 1924. so this is four years after the 19th amendment essentially granted citizens the right to vote. so that did not apply to native-americans. and ever since native-americans continue to have to fight for their rights including most recently in north dakota when voter enfranchisement laws actually made it so that you cannot vote unless you have a physical address. and so a lot of native-americans on ezervations had po addresses so they are not allowed to vote under these current laws. so if we continue i just wanted to point out also the latinx citizens of the united states who include citizens of puerto rico. and we're looking at a portrait made in 1992, so she was quite elderly at this time, but she had been elected as a first female governor of san juan. and in 1932

the term squa is defined as an american indian woman or wife. but over time it's been seen as offensive and derogatory. the term will be dropped immediately with a new name announced next year. >>> live look at the white house where a small audience will sit in the newly renovated rose garden as first lady melania trump speaks. republicans open the convention by painting a grim picture of life if former vice president is elected. >> joe biden is the loch ness monster of the swamp. for the past half century he's been working around in there. >> if you want the socialized biden-harris future of our country. just take a look at california. it's a place of immense wealth. immeasurable innovation and immaculate environment and the democrats turned it into a land of discarded heroin needles in parks, riots in streets and blackouts in homes. >> now in addition to the first lady, viewers will hear from the president's children, tiffany and eric trump. and secretary of state mike pompeo. his speech while he's on an official trip to israel is a break with
