And if you're not happy, look inside yourself for the reason."

Where are the monuments? Where are the memorial ceremonies? Unlike post-war Germany, North Americans refuse to acknowledge this genocide. Never Forget!

When Your Hands Are Tied is a non profit educational film created to be freely distributed. This film explores the unique ways in which Native youth are finding to express themselves in the contemporary world while maintaining strong traditional lives. Since Native American youth do not often see reflections of themselves or their communities in mainstream media, this film was made which features contemporary youth and role models who are finding exciting and positive ways to direct their lives.

[In Matriarchy] women live longer than men, they stand more pain, they have more endurance. You men do not know pain, you’ve never given birth. The women of the world, they’re the givers of life. They give life. We — take life. They’re the givers, we’re the takers.

Today, Oglala Lakotas protested trucks carrying the Keystone XL Pipeline through the Pine Ride Indian Reservation in South Dakota. Many were arrested, but they were ultimately successful at stopping the drivers. As a Nakoda living in Montana I have to say Aho and Wopina to the protesters who showed so much bravery and honor today. Those are some fierce Natives defending their; defending our land.

Sacagawea. This woman was amazing, I don’t care what anyone says or how you pick it apart. She was a teenage mother and she was a legendary figure in the history of the American West  Eight weeks before Lewis and Clark set out from the upper Missouri Sacagawea gave birth to her first child.  As a interpreter and with her valuable knowledge of the land she journeyed through America with Lewis and Clark baby on her back.  Even when she reunited with the village she was kidnapped from (by rival natives) she decided to follow through the mission :)  This faithfulness and commitment to the expedition have made her an American heroine.
