The Lakota and a shocking ending

[CrusaderFrank]

PLEASE watch until the end!

I learned so much from this short presentation

I always wondered why a certain American monument was placed in such a desolate location and the reason is actually shameful and despicable

Lakhota my apologies, I would NEVER have supported or condoned this

Our treatment of Native Americans is almost as bad as Denmark's treatment of the Inuit.

An apology is easy. How will you make amends? Will you give up something to a Native American, preferably a member of the Lakota People?

Information widely known and even mentioned many times in western Hollywood movies for decades and in my history classes in public schools. I wonder how he found it totally new to him? A little more research and he would have discovered a lot of tribes were sold out by their own leadership and took the wealth and moved to Europe.

That nutbar isn't real Lakota Sioux.

I didn’t know the Black Hills were basically the Lakotas Jerusalem

 

[Seymour Flops]

Did you watch until the end?

Sure.

Mount Rushmore is part of the Black Hills. I already knew that. I read about it when Kristi Noem had to stand up to Joe Biden over his belief that Mount Rushmore is a symbol of American Evil.

You should watch Deadwood. You'll learn why the Native Tribes lost the Black Hills.

So, when did the Lakota figure out about land ownership? Because in the middle of the video, the narrator says that the Lakota did not understand land ownership, but at the end, he has Lakota representives saying, "just give us the land back!"

He also said that the Black Hills are a place where the Lakota "literally communicate with God." Do you believe that Lakota can literally communicate with God in the Black Hills? Do you have to be Lakota, or can I go and have a little talk with the Almighy, or the Great Spirit or whoever?

I have a few questions . . .

You can have a talk with the Almighty anywhere, some places on Earth make it clearer and easier

I’m not Lakota, but if someone tells me “this is a sacred place for our people since time began” you should respect and honor that

So you literally believe there is an almighty to communicate with? And that He favors certain parts of the Earth for talking to us more than say, my backyard?

I’m not Lakota, but if someone tells me “this is a sacred place for our people since time began” you should respect and honor that

Really? If I say that your house is a sacred place for my people since time began, you will respect and honor that?

You forgot to answer what sacrifices you are planning to make for the Lakota people.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

That sounds argumentative and half baked.

LMK when you want to have a genuine conversation

No idea what "LMK" means.

I just want to know what sacrifices you are willing to make for the Lakota people. It sounds like you want someone else to sacrifice for them, just not you.

LMK Let me know

America has occasionally done some truly awful things and carving Mt Rushmore in a barren wilderness that was a sacred space was one of them

What about the FBI recruiting spies inside of what they call "traditional Catholic" churches?

Where does that fall in your list of truly awful things America has done?

What are you going to personally sacrifice for the Lakota?

What are you on about anyway?

You’re mad at someone or something but it has nothing to do with the OP

You are the one who posted an angry thread about the poor Lakota and their sacred land that they didn't even know was "theirs" until white people told them it was. In the OP you offered a personal apology to an internet poster who screen name similar to Lakota. I'm wondering if that's it, or if you will go further.

Here's the truth: Native Tribal people have an average IQ of about 87. The reason that they stayed primitive is that this is not a high enough average for the adoption of agriculture, which leads to civilization, which leads to advancement in technology.

As with any group, there were and are outliars to that average, people with much lower IQ's and people with much higher. Being primitive, I would guess that children with Downs Syndrome and the like were simply killed. Those with IQ's we would consider average were the geniuses of their people. They became "chiefs" actually tribal leaders, like Sitting Bull, Crazy Horse, American Horse, and the greatest leader of all, Quannah Parker.

Parker was half white. That was no coinkidink.

If the Native Peoples had been smarter, they would have realized that farms and roads and cities would never cover enough ground that they would be deprived of their hunting and fishing areas. I saw a movie, I think it might have been Last of the Mohicans, and one of the Indians said that he had been east and seen the white man's cities and he knew that they would not go away and that the indians could never defeat them. Too bad they did not all realize that.

How Recovering the History of a Little-Known Lakota Massacre Could Heal Generational Pain

When the U.S. Army massacred a Lakota village at Blue Water, dozens of plundered artifacts ended up in the Smithsonian. The unraveling of this long-buried atrocity is forging a path toward reconciliation

At one point, I was trained to “think” like that too

The Cheyenne, Arapaho, and Crow also consider the Black Hills sacred.

Will you give up something to a Native American

You mean beside roads, schools, electricity, a legal system, medicine, and the Internet?
