I am PROUD to be ROSEBUD SIOUX!!!! I still wish my great grandfather was still here to teach me more of the old ways.
Are there any from whom you can learn?
RESPECT for ALL NATIVE AMERICANS: HEROES and WARRIORS for FREEDOM, for SURVIVAL etc. You are GREAT PEOPLE 🩸❤️🩸 THANK YOU for this document ❤️ G.R.
You're beautiful people, never, ever, ever give up! Remember, if your heart keeps beating through it, so can your soul.
in visiting the Lakota Nation such as rosebud, white river and pine ridge, i will say i truly enjoyed my time visiting the Lakota. they really treated me as family and i saw a lot of similarities with my tribe. the Lakota are a proud people from a strong and great tradition. the Lakota youth and other Native youth should see it is a blessing to be who they are. I visited years ago but never forgot my time there nor the people who i call friends or brethren for life.
never lose hope always love your selfs and i send my prayers and good energy to the lakota people . we were all created equal and are here for a good reason may all people find inner peace and happiness it doesnt matter what people think of u just remember you are special . god bless amanda , zihuapitzin
These kids are beyond beautiful. I sweated Lakota for many years. From Pine Ridge
Thank you for sharing the stories of your community. Would you be able to do an update with the youth in the video or current update? I think bringing awareness is good for healing and change. I speak as a mother who recently lost her son to suicide...if more people share their stories of struggle and SURVIVAL, this might save someone else. My prayers to your community, to all communities that are experiencing suicide as an epidemic. It was an epidemic on my reservation when I was growing up, I never thought I would lose one of my children to suicide.
Thank you Lakota people for enduring. I am so sorry for all of this. Thank you for holding on to tradition. Your time is coming again soon, I feel it in my soul. Now is the time to stand up, be strong again. Turn to old ways! Reject the B.I.A.! Reject the false monetary system! You are one of the true people, and this earth needs you! You can inspire other First Nations with your strength to stand up as well! Live with peace and love, we are one!
My heart, prayers and asked blessings go out to the young relative brothers and sisters of the Pine Ridge and Standing Rock Reservation. Biidwegaabo Lac du Flambeau Band of Lake Superior Ojibwe Indians
It brought me to tears to learn under what hard conditions those young people live. They are much too young to bear all this responsibilities. They aren't allowed to really be children, overburdened with sorrows and grief and very often no adult around to lean on. My heart goes out to them. They deserve better, yes.
love your hearts, i listen, stella stay strong to chief oliver red clould and all his words your the strongest of your people live too his name, chief oliver.
I graduated from here... I miss it sometimes. The outdoor classroom (where this was filmed) was a nice place :(

I am from oglala 15 minutes away from pine ridge SD I hear they are gonna drain the dam (Which is where u go fishing) alcohol does no good people do it to get away from depression and it does no good
hi judy
I so believe it too that the youth are incredibly strong; I've had many suchlike moments - feeling totally alone, (seemingly) unbearable solitude, my own burden I had had to carry, this responsibility for another human being - it does crushes one, true.
BUT, I also believe that you can be sure of at least one person who will always be there for you - you, but yourself. You can give up much, NEVER give up yourself. Be always there for yourself, want to win yourself, cos you can.
Power to the people💚
Indigenous women are so pretty and they age so well.
La sagesse se trouve auprès des plus âgés c'est l'expérience de leur vie. Le réconfort auprès des femmes, des mères, des amies, des grands-mère de la famille si elle est unie...La force toujours dans le soutien de la communauté si la communauté est soudée, unie forte et sait son devenir c'est à dire l'importance de ses jeunes...
Le suicide est une faiblesse une non réponse à des questions inutiles il faut agir occupé ses heures apprendre à contrôler ses émotions, son temps et préparer son avenir en le rêvant non en imitant les autres.
Voilà les ingrédients qui feront reculer le suicide des jeunes car la faiblesse c'est boire, se droguer pour oublier une condition qui la faute de soi non des autres il faut repenser à ses ancêtres lorsqu'ils vivaient dans le combat du quotidien
aujourd'hui nos sociétés courent vers la facilité le jeu voilà pourquoi les jeunes sombrent la patience la lutte sont absentes de leur langage...
Il ne faut rien attendre des autres hors de sa communauté mais ouvrir le dialogue sans tabou car c'est la la clé pour affronter tous les problèmes pour ne les rendre que solutions
un avis personnel c'est tout
Kids - Please - don't give up. Don't give up hope. We NEED you. Please. Stand fast. Hold on. Please hold on.
Sioux, you have my greatest respect. I wish things never evolved to this.
Thank you for This Eye Opening and Very Enlightening look into what is going on. Even though this Video was made 10 yrs ago. I so Hope these young High Schoolers are doing well.. I am not Native American.. But i do feel and care.. If there is any Additional info for me to Assist in some way.. Please Advise .. Thank you... Bill
As a non native from California, I know I can't begin to understand the problems these people are facing, but when I heard that some houses have 20 occupants, I can see how this could be a major issue for the youth. We all, at times need our space; a place where we can escape and be alone with our thoughts where we can meditate and clear our mind of negative thoughts. But where is a Lakota youth to go to escape when he/she shares a home with 20 others? pitiful situation for them.
PS and provided you think you cannot, give yourself one genuine reason, one that gives you the right to touch such a powerful gift you got from the Creator, your life. Fight your demons, challenge them, and you will not only help yourself but your friends and fellow fighters too. Give light for you might be surprised at what point in your life you'll be given it back abundantly.
And yes, - I bet it must be great to be around you, guys. There is future for all those who don't give up N O W!
As a whiteperson from a middleclass background I had all the advantages. Like Joseph EagleBull said in this video, drugs and drinking will set you back! I know, from experience, there is no hope with dope, alcohol is not your friend.
Sober is the only way , today and tomorrow.

Alexandra Pilcher is a beautiful girl. I hope she does something worthwhile with her life and makes other peoples lives better.
OMG! That documentary ended to soon. Solurions? Visions? Who were the adults and where were they from?
Who has overcome the Darkman? How many? How did they do it?
💫
How much has progress has been since this video was made?
Live as thinking Americans, grab the opportunities somewhere else or perish , its your choice.
Kaora Lakota go hard for your rights young and beautiful people like papatuanuku,= mother earth Aotearoa= new Zealand love our red Indian brothers, sister, s
Everyone needs someone to talk with.. Talk to.. If i can help in this Manner.. Please advise. Thank you.. Bill
these poor young ppl, how could one not feel sympathy? I stand corrected
this is sad to watch young Lakota future young men and women talk about suicide we have same similar problem in new Zealand so we,v realized what the king and Queen of england has done to our people and other indigenous people of the
I want to offer my services. I will willingly give my time to do whatever needs to be done to help uplift the tribes of indigenous ppl all over this country. I want more then anything to see the Indian nations/tribes rise again, bring back ur culture full throttle. Healing will happen when there is reconnection to the earth, spirits, traditions, leave man made religion alone, our ancestors had it right b4 Europeans forced their religion on the tribes.
I have not lost hope, I belive in the strength of the indigenous ppl n the strength of their culture, the beauty of it. Ik it's rough n being on reservations tht are run down with nothing to engage the kids in n parents on drugs n adults not taking the time to engage the youth can make it seem hopeless but ITS NOT! The government wants to see indigenous ppl dieing off, I do NOT, I want to see natives make a come back. I grew up in south dakota close to the wambalee reservation, my auntie is rosebud Sioux ive been to the reservations, I've seen how hopeless it looks and it hurts my heart to see it but I KNOW WE CAN FIX IT. I REFUSE to belive tht there isn't a place to start to fix the depression, and the problem. N I'd be more then willing to travel to every single reservation in amaerica to offer up my help in any way I can to see the day when the Indian communities over come alcohol and drugs n bring back their strength n drive 💪to overcome the bullshit tht the government did 2 their ppl n culture.
ALCOHOL makes people selfish and self centered. It's a problem unto itself.
I have a hobby of collecting wisdom.
I always remember who gave the wisdom to me . I think this wisdom applies to everyone who has love in there hearts ,not hate!
WE LIVE IN THE SHELTER OF EACH OTHER.
The great people in history all true heroes act out of love for one an other. NOT OUT OF EGO!
THE wisdom was transmitted by Irish Central.
It took the peoples of europe thousands of years to move from being hunter gatherers to what they were in the 19th century. yet they expected the nations of native Americans to make the transition in a hundred years or so in the case of the Lakota. In a country with the wealth of USA it is an eternal shame that these problems exist. I wish you all well, although I live on the other side of our planet.
Hey I have cousins on Pine Ridge.

Alcohol doesn't cause depression - it's used to *escape* depression when your reality is intolerable. While it feeds into a cycle and certainly makes things worse, despair is always a response to some sort of poverty, whether it's emotional, cultural or financial.
Lakota are Sioux people and there are many Sioux in canada.
I tried hanging myself when I was 34 yo. Lots of medical problems, loneliness, hopeless without a good job, no girl friend.
This is what happins when you want to live as a independent country. But you people wont listen, you have the opportunity, non of you want to be part of the solution.
Russell means you still got great leaders sitting around pull them in get them involved didn't any of American Indians take note of the greatest Russell Jean's
The guy in the beginning named Colton is in jail for murder now...sad turn out.
😢 I think if there are better opportunities and a better future for these people, then maybe, or even probably, it would not have happened. I will include the victim's relatives in my prayers and him as well, because the real blame for the whole thing does not lie with the Native Americans.
Greetings
what does all of that spirituality mean if people are starving, killing themselves, drinking themselves into oblivion?
you got get together push the problem out young and old don't let the rich and. bankers fry you out
but its says you are from Canada. We have no Lakota First Nations in Canada
who are you?
As a white man I'm here to say from what I've learned about life there is no hope, at all. No point to life and ambition for the future anywhere. Hope is always a postpone for disappointment.
Los verdaderos americanos

Mt. 8:28-34, a biblical true story of Legion(a powerful satanic, spiritual stronghold) that kept the region of Gerasene in bondage. Hello, Pine Ridge. Their is hope in "Jesus" who is more than able and willing to defeat your enemies (Legionlike satanic forces) overshadowing Pine Ridge. Call upon the name of the Lord, Jesus Christ and be saved. Amen.
whats up with telling everyone I'm a he?
Break up the reservation's across the country and pull all people together as Americans, this concept of reservations is a 300 year old mith.
Why is it the sioux ? Just curious ? There are many native nations and yet it's the sioux that complain all the time ? Why ?
They don't look like they are full Indian blood they had mixed with white people , Indian people don't look like that ...
+John Nguyen what the hell are you talking about
stop stereotyping
native Americans come in different colors and blood quantum's!
Who are you to tell us what we look like, or should look like. Only we can say who we are.
Just blaming everyone else and saying you aren't as bad as this one or that one is not only futile it's a lie. Every society has it's demons from the war path to the CIA etc. or Muslim brotherhood. Or Catholic priests. Or atheists.
huh
Its not the alcohol my brothers & sisters or drugs that caused our situation its the people president rich that cause poverty stress these are there cursed words go back to our words papatuanuku = mother earth ) new Zealand ,what's Lakota name
Move away get a job problem solved
throwing them money certainly is not the answer either
