"Soul Crushing" [View all]

"Supporting South Dakota Reservations" posted this youtube clip from "Into the West" on their site today, along with this comment:

Today is the sad anniversary of Wounded Knee Massacre. We'd like to honor and remember all who fought and felt, and all who fight and will fell for our freedom. The freedom to be who we are. In peace. #IdleNoMore




They also posted this, as well as a link to "The American Experience:We Shall Remain: Wounded Knee"

?1973, American Indian Movement activists and residents of the Pine Ridge Reservation occupied the town of Wounded Knee, demanding redress for grievances. As a result of the siege, Indians across the country forged a new path into the future. (Wounded Knee Siege) No harsh comments or you will be banned!
