using the native languages. >> lakota languages. >> in the time, he was progressive.you wash it now, it would probably not look the same. >> you know what i try to have my kids watch it. they just won't do it. the hero is a white guy. and the she-ro is a white woman. >> reporter: this is a complicated one. when dances with wolves came out, it was definitely celebrated for how it worked with the lakota nation for their depictions in the film. >> hold up, we would never ride a buffalo. >> that's not a thing? >> it is too dangerous. i guarantee you, we didn't have these so it is cinched up pretty good. a lot of risk involved. >> i really don't want to do this. but feels weirdly disrespectful. just feels like participating in the con. >> feels like i'm participateing in the con? >> this is like when you watch the flintstones and they are riding dinosaurs. that is not exactly how it went down. but it makes a good story. >> reporter: the man who owns this place seems like a good guy. and chase does have good memories of the film even if his kids won't watch it. but he nows

the lakota understand this.that mean at the core of it, landback wants the whole country back? >> that's a big question. >> i'm here to ask the big questions. >> on record, yes. yes, native people want all of our land back in this country. and the conclusion that people jump to that that's a bad thing is the wrong conclusion. >> so the person sitting in their house and they're hearing the landback, we want all the land back, and they're but i like my house. and i know it sounds like a ridiculous question, but people have those fears. >> landback is about justice and equity for all peoples. so the assumption that like we're coming for individuals' property or lands, that they are expecting us to treat them the way that we have been treated is ironic. >> you colonize me, i colonize you. >> that's not what we're here for. >> i colonize your two-step. it's the same thing when you hear about white people hear about reparations for black folk, they think that we're going to do slavery 2.0. >> it's not about that. it's

after 1873 until after 1877 the lakota though. we're not the only tribal nations lane claim to yellowstone, so i wanted to be sure to show you this map of the major groups that were moving in and around this area and using yellowstone to move back and forth not only to get at the great bison herds of southern wyoming and nebraska, but also to get it one another to fight one another in their traditional battles. so these indigenous groups as i noted before have been using yellowstone their paths were already there. going by all the features they knew all about them. they also hunted and fished within. yellowstone itself explorers like hayden, not only followed their paths, but found their campsites and so, you know, we have this proof that these communities were moving through and using yellowstone in some interesting ways and had been stewards of this land for thousands of years. i just wanted to know that, you know during this 150th anniversary year the officials at yellowstone national park are making a concerted effort to highl

army down on the lakota afterward. ulysses s grant ordered and was fully in support of those campaigns many lakota surrendered others followed sitting bowl to canada in the moment, though, their actions delayed and finally scuttle the northern pacific railroads plans, brought about the panic and depression of 1873 which is an interesting moment because jay cook had been so obsessed with this plan that he had actually loaned money from his own investment bank to the northern pacific and, in september of 1873 in the middle of a very unstable chaotic economy his investors came calling and he had no money to give them. his bank closed and launched the panic and depression lakota actions also presented tourist traffic and scientific investigations of the yellowstone after 1873, until after 1877 the lakota were not the only tribal nations laying claim to yellowstone. i want to be sure to show you this map of the major groups that were moving in and around this area and using yellowstone to move back and forth not only to get

can i pet lakota? >> of course. >> you're a good girl.ng to give up that toy. >> that's my ball. good. >> in the crate she goes. thank you. we appreciate it. thanks to lakota here. >>> let's get to cheryl scott with another check of the weather. >> we've been talking about all of the flooding in the deep south. this video come in from myrtle beach, south carolina. this is a neighborhood. residents were surprised to see this. that alligator working its way into the neighborhood gazebo. those are floodwaters. we need the rain across the north and east. and area of low pressure will be moving into new england as we go into this week. we're looking at pockets of 2 to 3 inches of rainfall. notice lesser amounts here in parts of new jersey and new england, where we do have extreme drought conditions across parts of massachusetts, rhode island and connecticut. that 1 inch of rain really not helpful. but we'll take what we can get. that's a look across the country and now a check of your local weather. >>> it is time, now, for some "pop news." fr

or the lakota. and they're brought as leverage. to prevent another uprising basically, we have your kids you can't fight back. because we have your kids while you government good job. come on, right? oh. the moment you step foot and carlisle they basically they stripped everything. that was native american of you. all right. every aspect of your heritage from your hair to your clothes to your language to your religion. these 10,000 kids most of them who didn't speak english at any on any level were baptized as christians without ever being told what that meant. so they're just kind of everything about you have to fundamentally you can't use your own name. and like lists of names on like a board or wall and you had to pick one and so there's stories of people basically just pointing at a bunch of symbols of they don't know what they mean. and that becomes their name. you were severely beaten. if you continue to use the language of your ancestors. by the way, that became a resistance tool. remember we talked about slavery and kind of

and so, the supreme court ruled in favor of the lakota, giving, i believe, it was initially, what? 30 something million, 35, $35 million. and then an additional 1. 41, 105 million on top of that, basically to pay for the value of the black hills so that the u.s. government will have bought the black hills. to this day, that money has not been touched. how much money, do you know off the top of your head, brandon? >> i think it's over 4 billion. >> it's somewhere in the range, 4 billion, several billion. it's increasing every day with interest. there's no real desire to take it. because the thing is, if you take the money, then you are saying yes, of course, it's perfectly all right for the u.s. government to have taken this land. >> i know there was an attempt at one point where -- lakota president wanted to get the money, but he was immediately rejected. >> yeah, there have been a couple actually, from what i understand, there had been a couple times where they said well maybe it's okay at this point to take the money. but there's this strong argument about never taking the money

but, a word about the lakota. in 1862, there was an uprising in minnesota. people said land, the usual land squabbles. native people have been moved off their land. they came back, allegedly violating a treaty. anyway, there were huge battles. ultimately, almost 300 native people were arrested and condemned to death. the governor of minnesota told president lincoln that it was necessary because of the approaching off-year election. that the execution go forward, and lincoln said, i am not going to hang people for vote. i wanted to see every case. i want to review every single case. yes, ultimately, and this is a, kind of, a tragic half, glass half empty story. 38 condemned men were executed. they had, according to the trial records, committed murder or rape, or infanticide, or other atrocities, but lincoln parted more than 250 condemned people. so, whether you consider him a great partner or a mass executioner, of course, is open to discussion, and i absolutely agree with you that every part of that story needs to be told. >> you focused a bit on the lincoln

army road into south dakota and slaughtered hundreds of lakota men, women, and children.eders ransacked the tribe. they stole many of the native americans most prized possessions. some stripped right off their bodies. for decades tribes have been trying to recover the artifact. some are still sitting in small, rural museums scattered across the country. we spoke with lakota descendents about a new push to get the items back. >> reporter: many iron hawk pays his respects at the wounded knee site where he says his great, great grandfather ghost horse was massacred. >> my grandfather and his son went out, only my grandfather came back. he said they killed my son. and they all cried. my grandpa said, i've got to go back up. and he never returned. >> reporter: a single stone inscribed with the names of the dead lays at this site where native americans were killed and thrown into a massive pit. >> i feel sadness when i come here. >> reporter: not only were they hunted down, but items including ceremonial prayer pipes, moccasins, and bags used told babies were stolen from the bo

be noted and recognized that it was under lincoln and i think the largest mass execution of some lakota people were done. so you know, we just have to be able to tell all of the history. >> i agree. i'd love to talk about both of those things. first, i think the caller is referring to what people call the undercroft of the lincoln memorial. the memorial itself is 99 feet high, the undergirding, the basement, call it the undercroft, is 67 feet deep, i believe. the reason it's so deep is because this huge building, i don't know the weight of it but i know the weight of the statue is 240 tons, that's pretty heavy. and a very steep basement was dug, all sorts of arch work, brilliantly engineered. it still rests on this kind of must be clay surface, like an unfinished basement. there is graffiti on the walls from the workers who labored there in the 19 teens and the great news is that private funding has been allocated to open it. because tours are not given any more. but it will be reopened in a few years as a visitor center. and a bookstore, a place to see the graffiti that the workers lef

the lakota indians and sioux indians took that land from previous tribes. it. will: story of the world. joey: exactly. carley: at mount rushmore, they honor native americans. there's one that honored native americans alongside mount rushmore and it serves dual purposes celebrating american history, culture, and traditions and those of native americans so i think maybe it is, joey, like you said the trendy thing to say but doesn't make it right. joey: yeah, a full scope of history allows us to understand all about native american culture and the tragedies that happen along the way. will: no doubt. joey: join hands and celebrate the amazing country we built. will: no doubt. joey: i don't know why that's difficult, i really don't. will: coming up, tensions over taiwan and china is reportedly practicing attack exercises and america delays own missile test and adviser on this message of weakness that's being sent. carley: be careful what you wish for. texas sent a bus filled with illegal immigrants to the bordew york. how the so-called sanctuary city mayor react
