This was uploaded for information and raising awareness only. I do not earn any money with this Beginning with the Sioux victory over General Custer at Little Big Horn, BURY MY HEART AT WOUNDED KNEE intertwines the unique perspectives of three characters: Charles Eastman (Adam Beach), né Ohiyesa, a young, Dartmouth-educated, Sioux doctor held up as living proof of the alleged success of assimilation; Sitting Bull (August Schellenberg), the proud Lakota chief who refuses to submit to US government policies designed to strip his people of their identity, their dignity and their sacred land – the gold-laden Black Hills of the Dakotas; and Senator Henry Dawes (Aidan Quinn), one of the architects of the government policy on Indian affairs. While Eastman and patrician schoolteacher Elaine Goodale (Anna Paquin) work to improve life for the Sioux on the reservation, Senator Dawes lobbies President Grant (Thompson) for more humane treatment, opposing the bellicose stance of General William Tecumseh Sherman …
OMG… I could not watch the entire massacre scene as the people did the Ghost Dance and I LITERALLY SCREAMED WHEN THEY SHOT SITTING BULL. Our own people hurt our own people fueled by greed lust and fear!
Selfish? We created the fucking world you live in. Advances whites have made in technology and medicine have lengthened life spans world wide. We eradicated entire illnesses, feed entire continents.
Im talking about a race of men who went to the moon, decoded the human genome…conquered flight while you morons still believe in spirits and that bullets wont harm you if your war paint is fearsome enough.
You have literally no accomplishments or noteworthy historical records.
shocking as it is, don’t fool yourself into believing that native americans would have behaved differently towards the whites if they had been superior …. it’s simply human nature. thanks for the upload
:’( I live in the southest city of the whole american continent, near the south pole… and same thing happened here with our natives .. All “civilized” people came to america and did the same. Right now I’m studying the Amerindians peoples and see how admirable they were and are till today
Shooting children. It’s not just a Hollywood production. It is true. It is passed down to my from my ggg grandfather. Shooting children. How proud you all must be to be a part of that… if you are not a part of me.
The genocide of Native Americans is the largest and longest in World History with at LEAST 19 Million people murdered by “manifest destiny”. It continues. When will America admit that our country was founded on stolen land and prospered because of slave labor and genocide. When we ADMIT how we got here, we can start to move forward again as a people.
seeing this make me feel sorry for the US Goverment and militry for what they done and will pay for hershly cuz they will get punishment in spirit they will never return even they try to redeem themself me i will say to them it to late assholes and probably give them to my children of darkness and my children will know what to do to them
Seeing all those poor natives lying around…. Makes me want to throw up…. Excuse me! The one who got turned over facing up and who’s photo got taken, he’s my friend’s great great grandfather. My friend’s name is Leonard Little Finger, his great great grandfather’s name is Chief Bigfoot(Sitanka).
——- Look up the diane sawyer story about pine ridge. N that is a fairly recent story… “We” natives are some of the strongest ppl this world will ever come across !!!! My comments were not to take aim at your comment or to draw offense. Just wanted to share my point of view =)
@ColonelGeorgeACuster ——- I find it quite funny how all the “white” soldiers found these events to be foggy and uncertain… Many of my ancestors remember it as vividly as it were yesterday. They had no reason to lie about the events that took place, no money to gain, no fame to gain, no land, nothing @ all… N how could any ppl make something like this up??? They murdered them by the thousands and the government is still oppressing them today.
Completely false massacre scene. one the ground was covered with snow. 2 it was not a running killing field. 3 the natives never closed in in hand-to-hand they were mowed down at a longer range. and the indians fired back, this film shows no such thing.
when 2 civilizations meet 1 always goes down in fact i did not think it wouldve been my ancestors of the cheyenee or the sioux people the crow or the lakota respect nd rip for all those men who died trying to save our lands tht the whiteman took from us
POW-reservations of Native Americans still exist today it boils me up, its Genocide, African Americans got there freedom where is the freedom of the Native people
There are plenty of non whites that are just as greedy…. greed is part of human nature. we want more and more and more…. it never ends. The world is going to hell in a hand basket if things don’t start changing fast and it needs to begin with going back to basics and understanding what is really important. NOT the latest flat screen TV. By the way i’m not white.
i agree i am part indian of the Asian continent and what the british did to my ancestors was horrid. much like the native peoples they tried to make is “civilized” or no longer “savage” which was truly hard. they were trying to stop us so much they did not realize we made some of the best equations and invented the number zero. we are so well done in fact that the equations we have done for 1000s of years have impressed even scientists today. DO NOT JUDGE PEOPLE FROM LOOKS!
Revenge is the only word, ‘that’ does not stand in military terms, as a military action, therefore; when a military unit commits revenge, there ‘is’ no honor. Revenge is the only word you could put on this stupidity of killing old women, men and children. What honor is there in such an action? Therefore, rescind the Medals of Honor for the Wounded Knee Massacre (battle, in military terms).
Read the epic novel “Rescue at Pine Ridge”, 5 stars Amazon Int., the story of the revenge and redemption.
Read the book. It’s about many more N/W-American tribes like the Poncas, Kiowas and Nez Perce, also those who were in ‘peace’ with the government and had a treatie. And then without giving a reason they were told to go to a reservation because the white settlers needed land or gold was found. Buffalo’s were killed as a means to deprive Indians from their food and blankets with small pox were given them to diminish their numbers and to force them into a reservation
What i want to know is if it really happnd like THAT, I’m not sure, if it did ity’s horrible, too horrible for words.. =’( But isn’t this event as foggy and uncertain as The Battle of the little Bighorn?
; sorry for the late reply. No, I don’t know that one. I have several books but these are packed now since I’m moving soon and they are all in Dutch so I think you haven’t anything about it. Google on ‘native American diseases’or ‘native American colonisation, Native American history, mayan history’. Also google on ‘Native American deaths’on google pictures and this will show you the diagram of deaths compared to the holocaust and the reference to a website
Indians also killed innocent children, they were no better
