00:00:00 Let's all pray we came this far.
00:00:13 We've come from beautiful people and they prayed.
00:00:23 So let's all pray together as a family.
00:00:27 (Praying in Cherokee)
00:00:51 These riders, they come from all over. Canada, Montana, Iowa, South Dakota, North Dakota,
00:00:58 Minnesota. There's even a guy here from Austria. It's from all over the world. These riders
00:01:03 come. And that's the point. That's what we're trying to do here is we're trying to reconcile,
00:01:09 unite, make peace with everyone. Because that's what it means to be Dakota. To be Dakota means
00:01:18 to walk in peace and harmony with every living thing. That is our way.
00:01:26 This ride came through a vision of a man by the name of Jim Miller. And in that vision,
00:01:32 he saw riders going east. We're going home. That's what we're doing. We're going home.
00:01:38 In 2005, when I received this dream, as any recovered alcoholic, I made believe that I
00:01:49 didn't get it. I tried to put it out of my mind, but it's one of them dreams that bothers
00:01:55 you night and day.

00:02:57 St. Paul Pioneer Press, 1863.
00:03:02 Good news for Indian hunters. The Indian hunting trade, if the game be at all plenty, is likely
00:03:09 to prove a profitable investment during the present fall and winter for our hunters and
00:03:13 scouts in the big woods. Having increased the bounty for each top knot of a bloody heathen
00:03:19 to $200, there is likely to be considerable competition in the trade, and the best shots
00:03:24 will carry off the most prizes.
00:03:26 (music)
00:03:29 (speaking Dakota)
00:03:54 (music)
00:03:56 With settlers encroaching on us, they push us onto a little bitty strip of land along
00:04:14 the river. All of our people were put there and were not allowed to leave or hunt.
00:04:18 The Indians could not leave the reservation. If they left without permission, they would
00:04:28 be considered hostile and could be shot on sight.
00:04:32 They were supposed to be given rations, given the treaty, but people get greedy. That's
00:04:39 how they call them, washichu. They started skimming off the rations and pretty soon they
00:04:44 were starving them. When they were starving them, that's when this trader said, "Well,
00:04:48 let them eat grass." And so they revolted. And the fight occurred and many were killed.
00:04:55 It was a very short war. It only lasted a few months. When it was over, President Abraham
00:05:03 Lincoln hung 38 of our leaders at one time, one pull of the lever, which is today the
00:05:11 largest mass execution the government has ever carried out.
00:05:15 My great-great-grandfather's waxwolf owl tail was hung that day. Those of us that are
00:05:38 on this ride descend from them 38 that were hanged.
00:05:43 I am very grateful to the great-grandfather for his great-grandson. He was a great-grandson
00:05:52 of the great-grandfather. He was a great-grandson of the great-grandfather. He was a great-grandson
00:05:56 of the great-grandfather. He was a great-grandson of the great-grandfather. He was a great-grandson
00:05:58 of the great-grandfather. He was a great-grandson of the great-grandfather. He was a great-grandson
00:05:59 of the great-grandfather. He was a great-grandson of the great-grandfather. He was a great-grandson
00:06:00 of the great-grandfather. He was a great-grandson of the great-grandfather. He was a great-grandson
00:06:01 of the great-grandfather. He was a great-grandson of the great-grandfather. He was a great-grandson
00:06:02 of the great-grandfather. He was a great-grandson of the great-grandfather. He was a great-grandson
00:06:23 of the great-grandfather. He was a great-grandson of the great-grandfather. He was a great-grandson
00:06:24 of the great-grandfather. He was a great-grandson of the great-grandfather. He was a great-grandson
00:06:25 of the great-grandfather. He was a great-grandson of the great-grandfather. He was a great-grandson
00:06:26 of the great-grandfather. He was a great-grandson of the great-grandfather. He was a great-grandson
00:06:27 of the great-grandfather. He was a great-grandson of the great-grandfather. He was a great-grandson
00:06:28 of the great-grandfather. He was a great-grandson of the great-grandfather. He was a great-grandson
00:06:29 I think if he was alive, he would have did the same thing.
00:06:32 To remember he would have wanted to acknowledge the ancestors in a spiritual way.
00:06:39 And when I heard about this dream, Uncle Sheldon, Wolf Child, he told me this dream that Jim had,
00:06:46 and I wanted to be a part of it.
00:06:48 There's something about that ride that pulls you to it, and you want to get on a horse and help out.
00:06:53 You feel pain in your ribs, your back, your legs.
00:06:57 You get cold. We've been through blizzards.
00:07:00 A lot of times, if you don't own a horse, you end up on the horse that nobody wants to ride.
00:07:05 So that's a sacrifice in itself.
00:07:09 [singing]
00:07:27 I just want to tell everybody here that I love you very much.
00:07:35 We don't have to blame the Washichos anymore.
00:07:39 We're doing it to ourselves. We're selling drugs.
00:07:45 We're killing our own people.
00:07:47 And that's what this ride's about. It's healing.
00:07:50 [singing]
00:08:19 [horse neighing]
00:08:41 We were exiled from Minnesota by an order of the government,
00:08:44 which stated to annihilate the Indian race or forever push us from the borders of Minnesota.
00:08:50 And that's what happened.
00:08:52 Thousands and thousands of our people were slaughtered, froze to death, starved to death.
00:08:57 Disease took a lot of our people also.
00:09:01 A lot of them were marched on foot.
00:09:03 Some were brought on cattle trains.
00:09:06 Got down to St. Louis, they put us on river boats,
00:09:10 and they were brought up the river to where we presently are now at Crow Creek,
00:09:14 which was at that time a prisoner of war camp.
00:09:17 From there, our people scattered to the four directions.
00:09:23 Some of them, you know, would jump off their boats and just drown themselves,
00:09:28 and they couldn't deal with the hardships.
00:09:30 And so it was a horrible thing.
00:09:33 They thought it was the end of the world coming here.
00:09:35 They had no more hope.
00:09:37 So for us, this journey back, this ride back, is taking their spirits back,
00:09:43 taking it home to the homeland.
00:09:46 We're going to show up in Mankato at the hanging site on December 26th at 10 a.m.,
00:09:51 which is the anniversary of them 38 that were hanged.
00:09:57 When you have dreams, you know when they come from the creator.
00:10:07 You just know it.
00:10:10 And I was knowing it's a significant dream because he says, "I've got to tell you this," you know.
00:10:15 And so he gets up and he says, "I've got to tell you this," and I don't know what it means,
00:10:20 but--and he started telling me.
00:10:25 He was being directed to make these offerings around the horse.
00:10:30 The horse would carry these offerings,
00:10:32 and that these offerings were for all of the men that were hung in Mankato.
00:10:41 Didn't know about Mankato until I had this dream in 2005.
00:10:48 In his dream, he's seen all these, the 38 basically, being hung at the same time,
00:10:54 and they were all reaching out, holding each other's arms.
00:10:57 [music]
00:11:11 Our ancestry starts over there in Mankato, so keep that in your hearts.
00:11:17 Keep that in your minds as we travel.
00:11:22 So I love you guys very much.
00:11:25 I'm a real easy man to talk to.
00:11:29 I'm kind of a quiet guy.
00:11:32 I pretty much keep to myself.
00:11:36 But any atrocity that happened to you, any of you, it happened to me.
00:11:44 I was sexually abused, physically abused, spiritually abused,
00:11:49 emotionally abused.
00:11:52 I have blood on my hands.
00:11:54 I'm a Vietnam veteran.
00:11:57 I spent time in Leavenworth.
00:12:00 So I've been through the course.
00:12:07 Any of you need to talk to me, call me a sign.
00:12:11 We're all equal in this room.
00:12:14 Nobody's higher or better than anybody.
00:12:18 We're all equal.
00:12:22 So let's have a real beautiful ride.
00:12:26 We got a long haul ahead of us.
00:12:28 I never did this before.
00:12:30 I don't know what to expect in the next 16 days.
00:12:34 But you do.
00:12:35 You're my family.
00:12:37 [speaking in foreign language]
00:12:49 This horse has the six directions that we use in our ceremonies.
00:12:53 The two front legs represent the west and the north.
00:12:57 The two back legs represent the east and the south.
00:13:00 The head points up.
00:13:02 The ears point up.
00:13:04 The tail points down towards Wakata.
00:13:07 Up above, the tail points downwards towards Mother Earth.
00:13:11 When you put those six directions together,
00:13:14 it creates a sacred center to bring wo-waka in.
00:13:18 It's a sacredness that you can only have with these six directions.
00:13:22 And you can pray while you're on your horse.
00:13:25 You can think about a lot of things.
00:13:28 Some people can remember things that ancestors went through.
00:13:31 But it's just leading the way because of its healing power.
00:13:35 [singing in foreign language]
00:13:41 [singing in foreign language]
00:14:07 It feels good to walk in their steps and be on the land where they were.
00:14:12 It's a completely different energy around here.
00:14:16 I feel it.
00:14:20 I feel like a different person now that I came here.
00:14:23 [horse neighing]
00:14:32 Today we're riding because of healing.
00:14:36 We need to continue.
00:14:39 The reservation where I'm from is the poorest county in the United States
00:14:43 with an average household income of $5,000 per year.
00:14:47 We also have one of the highest suicide rates in the world.
00:14:51 There is something that we suffer from.
00:14:54 [singing in foreign language]
00:15:00 So basically I'm riding for my family because they need help.
00:15:05 [singing in foreign language]
00:15:09 I already lost my oldest brother.
00:15:12 He passed away four years ago.
00:15:16 And two of my other brothers are sitting in jail.
00:15:20 My family is slowly falling apart, and this is why I'm doing this for them.
00:15:27 And now my little brother, he's getting sent away.
00:15:34 I wanted to go see him before he gets sent away next year.
00:15:39 But I came here, and I don't regret coming here.
00:15:46 So all I can say is I'm honored to be on this ride,
00:15:51 and I thank you for listening to me.
00:15:54 [applause]
00:15:59 [singing in foreign language]
00:16:03 It's just not for our Dakota people, but everybody involved.
00:16:06 So if you have horses or you want to be a part of the ride, I mean, come join us.
00:16:11 This is our family, and we want you guys to be a part of it.
00:16:14 So thank you.
00:16:16 [singing in foreign language]
00:16:19 I didn't know Mankato, like 38 Native Americans were hung there.
00:16:24 I had no idea about that.
00:16:26 I'm not Native American, but my mom's like Native Canadian up there.
00:16:30 So just having a little bit of that in me and hearing this, it really means a lot.
00:16:38 So thank you.
00:16:42 It was pretty good, though, talking to them, letting them know our side of the story
00:16:47 and not what just came out of some book that some dude wrote,
00:16:52 coming from the real thing and from the people that are experiencing it.
00:16:58 Yeah, it was pretty good.
00:17:00 Pretty good ride, right?
00:17:03 In spite of the burnt burger and the doughy pizza.
00:17:07 No, that was just a joke.
00:17:10 And I really don't associate with Caucasian people.
00:17:15 I don't know why. It's just--oh, no, I never really--
00:17:18 I used to, like when I was little, I had different races of friends when I was little.
00:17:24 Like, we might as well just put it on the table, too, because it's the truth
00:17:27 and it's the only way that we're going to be able to come together.
00:17:31 My people and me, and we've talked about this, there's a lot of racism.
00:17:37 So I think--and I'm willing to say, yeah, I have some racist moments where I think,
00:17:42 oh, okay, they just did that because they're a white guy,
00:17:45 or they're not going to get it because they're white. They're just not.
00:17:49 I was feeling like I didn't want to be a part of this anymore
00:17:53 because I was feeling like everybody was talking to me as, like, Dakota Sarah.
00:17:58 Like, oh, well, like, you know, like, you're Dakota first.
00:18:01 So I'm going to ask everything--all my questions based on your race.
00:18:07 You have to understand there's a certain amount of curiosity coming into a situation.
00:18:11 I mean, if someone from Africa came to me, they would have a million questions, I'm sure,
00:18:16 about Adam the white guy, the Italian kid from Long Island.
00:18:20 So the fact that the questions are getting directed at me makes me feel like,
00:18:25 oh, Adam was the only one who was asking questions,
00:18:28 the only one who didn't come from the heart.
00:18:32 [helicopter whirring]
00:18:37 [thunder]
00:19:04 [chickens clucking]
00:19:07 [hissing]
00:19:17 Supposed to be getting a storm here in the next couple days.
00:19:21 Be real cold.
00:19:24 Real cold.
00:19:27 The forecast this morning said Saturday, Sunday, Monday, blizzard warnings.
00:19:33 So...
00:19:36 [laughter]
00:19:39 Not much to say.
00:19:40 Well, yeah.
00:19:42 I think some of the things that they're doing like this ride are important for their heritage.
00:19:50 I think all people should be proud of who they are and their ancestry and their heritage.
00:19:55 I'm proud I'm Norwegian.
00:19:59 Golden, golden rims.
00:20:03 I got pimped out here.
00:20:06 Does she know the price in there?
00:20:08 How much a tire was?
00:20:10 Just pay.
00:20:12 Just don't worry about it.
00:20:14 Oh, come on now.
00:20:16 I gotta give you something.
00:20:18 Don't worry about it.
00:20:19 You sure?
00:20:20 Yeah.
00:20:21 Appreciate it.
00:20:22 I really appreciate it.
00:20:23 Yeah.
00:20:24 I wouldn't be so generous, but I just watched that movie Pay It Forward, so...
00:20:28 [laughter]
00:20:32 I wish more of this country was that way.
00:20:35 Needs to go back to that.
00:20:37 Yeah, definitely.
00:20:39 We've got too many people that are worried about the dollar instead of helping the human being.
00:20:44 Exactly.
00:20:46 I'm getting back in. I better go.
00:20:48 Yeah, we'll see you later.
00:20:49 I'll just fill that up and I'll come back out and shut that water off.
00:20:53 Okay.
00:20:57 [horse whinnies]
00:21:00 [music]
00:21:05 [music]
00:21:09 [music]
00:21:13 [music]
00:21:17 [music]
00:21:21 [music]
00:21:25 [music]
00:21:29 [music]
00:21:33 [music]
00:21:39 [music]
00:21:43 [music]
00:21:47 [music]
00:21:53 [music]
00:21:59 We've got horses here already.
00:22:01 This isn't where the horses are supposed to be tonight.
00:22:04 We didn't get permission to do that.
00:22:06 Well, they accept us.
00:22:08 This Jim...
00:22:12 Francis is his name.
00:22:13 Jim.
00:22:14 Yeah, he's the county extension agent that I've been talking to.
00:22:17 So he's here?
00:22:18 He was here. He gave me this key.
00:22:20 Okay, that's good enough for me.
00:22:22 To water and...
00:22:23 Good enough for you.
00:22:24 [music]
00:22:33 Go on.
00:22:34 Go on.
00:22:36 Okay, I'll get some snacks together and stuff.
00:22:38 Oh, that would be so awesome.
00:22:40 Yeah.
00:22:41 Oh, they would love that.
00:22:42 Okay, sure.
00:22:44 It made me feel uncomfortable because, like, in the back of my head,
00:22:47 I always, you know, look at them and I'm like,
00:22:49 "They're probably uncomfortable with all of us in here.
00:22:52 They don't trust us too much or something."
00:22:54 You know, I don't know.
00:22:56 It's just how I was growing up.
00:22:58 How much did you ride today, man?
00:23:00 About, I don't know, 30, 40 miles.
00:23:05 How are you feeling?
00:23:06 Sore.
00:23:08 What do you guys think of the horses?
00:23:10 They're nice, but they hurt your butts.
00:23:12 They hurt your butts.
00:23:14 Yeah?
00:23:15 Are you recording it?
00:23:17 Yeah, man. You're on tape.
00:23:19 Hi.
00:23:20 [laughter]
00:23:22 Say hi, Will.
00:23:24 Can I ride it?
00:23:27 How can you get up there?
00:23:28 How can you get up?
00:23:29 Come on.
00:23:31 I sure can't.
00:23:33 Sorry.
00:23:35 I'm not big enough to.
00:23:37 Yeah, jump on the chair.
00:23:39 [music]
00:23:54 For me, I love each of you.
00:23:56 These little guys here, we're doing that for them.
00:24:01 Our culture is one of...
00:24:06 oral.
00:24:08 Everything's passed down to us.
00:24:12 Riding across there today, I was crying coming.
00:24:17 I wonder what my relatives endured
00:24:20 when they came down on the boat.
00:24:23 When we were taken off the boat,
00:24:25 our first homeland in 1863,
00:24:27 our first home was the stockade.
00:24:31 When Sitting Bull heard about that as a young man,
00:24:34 he came on horseback to see how the people were being treated.
00:24:38 And they were being treated worse than animals,
00:24:41 and that's why he stood his ground like that.
00:24:45 These people call me today.
00:24:48 There was two ceremonies that were going on back home
00:24:51 called "Yuipis."
00:24:54 They said that crazy horse in Sitting Bull is riding with us.
00:25:00 That means a lot to me.
00:25:04 [boat engine]
00:25:13 [indistinct chatter]
00:25:18 I went out with a regular pair of gloves
00:25:20 and was out there about 15 minutes,
00:25:23 and my hands started to get frostbite.
00:25:26 I saw the weather report,
00:25:28 and it said 45 below, 50 mile-an-hour winds.
00:25:31 It said you're taking your life in your own hands
00:25:33 if you're on the road.
00:25:35 [boat engine]
00:25:47 Anybody who has an extra brain?
00:25:51 Wait until noon, 12 o'clock.
00:25:54 We'll see what the weather looks like.
00:25:56 The last time I walked with people, men and women like this,
00:26:00 I was in a Marine Corps.
00:26:03 Yesterday, you know that bad blizzard?
00:26:06 These riders wanted to go.
00:26:08 They saddled up, they warmed their horses up.
00:26:10 We couldn't even see 50 yards.
00:26:13 Cold.
00:26:16 And they still wanted to ride to make this trip.
00:26:24 That's how important this is to us.
00:26:28 So if you don't mind, we're going to just kind of wait this out.
00:26:31 Yeah, and then if it gets really bad, we got that Quonset,
00:26:34 we can put the horses in there.
00:26:36 There's quite a bit of room in there.
00:26:38 Can we take a look? Yeah, let's go do that.
00:26:41 So let's get some panels and panel this off.
00:26:45 [music]
00:27:13 We got the horses in the Quonset, and so I came back home.
00:27:16 And then I'd say it was like 4 o'clock or something.
00:27:20 Yeah, it was late afternoon.
00:27:22 When Jerry called and said, "Where can we go to buy hay?
00:27:26 Because the horses need hay."
00:27:28 I don't know where I'd send you.
00:27:30 I know a lot of guys have got hay, but I don't think you can get there.
00:27:33 But I said, "I'll try."
00:27:35 When he came back to the door, and he was all full of snow,
00:27:38 and I said, "What happened?"
00:27:40 He said, "I got to get the tractor going because I'm stuck up here in the ditch."
00:27:45 He said, "I didn't even make the corner."
00:27:47 I thought, "Oh my God, if it's that bad, why are you even out?"
00:27:50 [music]
00:27:52 She gets me out, and I tell her, "You just need to take the tractor. Go home."
00:27:56 Then I take off west, and it's terrible.
00:28:00 Again, I can't see anything.
00:28:02 There's drifts on the road, and all of a sudden I'm right in a ditch again.
00:28:07 And this is over a mile from home.
00:28:09 He called me, and he said, "How are you doing?"
00:28:12 I said, "Not very good right now."
00:28:15 I said, "I'm in a ditch."
00:28:17 He said, "What?"
00:28:18 I said, "Yep, I ran in a ditch trying to get to town."
00:28:22 It's crazy, man. It's like, holy--
00:28:24 I never really thought of those people doing something like that.
00:28:30 She went out in the tractor and found him somehow in that blizzard.
00:28:36 You almost can't top that as far as support or commitment to what we're doing.
00:28:45 [music]
00:28:52 All the way from Mardis, South Dakota.
00:28:54 Do we have any Choctaws in the house?
00:28:57 Follow me, Mark. Follow me, Ron.
00:29:00 [music]
00:29:06 [singing]
00:29:11 [applause]
00:29:17 Look at their tiki bows.
00:29:19 [laughter]
00:29:23 Holy--
00:29:25 All right, brothers.
00:29:27 [music]
00:29:54 We come with a message of forgiveness and healing,
00:29:57 and we all got to share this planet together.
00:30:00 Well, that's the purpose of your ride, is to have some reconciliation.
00:30:05 You think that's already happening, maybe, in some ways.
00:30:08 Oh, no doubt.
00:30:09 I had an outpouring of support and love.
00:30:12 Wessington Springs, they end at Halloween.
00:30:15 So I give my blessings to them, and we pray for them.
00:30:18 Thank you very much.
00:30:20 Appreciate it.
00:30:21 Thank you.
00:30:22 That was wonderful.
00:30:23 Thank you.
00:30:24 We'll get that microphone if you do, and we'll let you.
00:30:27 Thanks a lot.
00:30:28 That was good.
00:30:29 You did a good job.
00:30:30 Thank you.
00:30:33 I love you guys, and you guys have a good day.
00:30:36 Oh, you as well.
00:30:37 We'll be around.
00:30:38 We've got lots of good pictures to get here today.
00:30:40 Okay, thank you.
00:30:41 You bet.
00:30:42 Have a safe ride.
00:30:43 You bet.
00:30:44 Yeah, this is awesome.
00:30:47 To hear someone who's not angry at all and says, you know,
00:30:51 this is about forgiveness, wow, not what I expected.
00:30:55 There's a lot of racism in this state.
00:30:57 There are a lot of people that are against it,
00:31:01 and kind of don't make any bones about it.
00:31:05 It's okay to be who you are.
00:31:07 You're Native, and you should be proud of it,
00:31:09 no matter what tribe you're from.
00:31:11 Get to know your history, because we are an awesome people,
00:31:16 and you guys should be so proud of that.
00:31:20 [singing]
00:31:27 And I was in an 8-by-5 cell, and it was hard.
00:31:31 It was really hard.
00:31:32 I shed some tears in there.
00:31:34 They said men don't cry, but we do.
00:31:37 It takes a real man to cry.
00:31:40 [applause]
00:31:43 Thank you.
00:31:45 The reason why I'm doing this journey is so I can maybe help
00:31:48 one of you in this room today, because our people are lost,
00:31:52 and it's up to us to keep our language and our culture alive.
00:31:55 We have to be the leaders, because we're the next generation,
00:31:59 and it's up to us.
00:32:01 If not, our culture is gone, our language is gone,
00:32:04 and the waka'iza, the youth, the next generation, they won't.
00:32:07 They'll be lost.
00:32:08 They'll have nothing to turn to.
00:32:10 On November 26, I celebrated a year of drugs and alcohol.
00:32:13 I ain't going to lie, sometimes I feel like using, you know.
00:32:17 I get on my old buddies back home and say,
00:32:20 "Oh, come on, have a beer with us.
00:32:22 Let's go get high.
00:32:23 I got this joint."
00:32:25 But I choose to pray and go to sweat lodges.
00:32:28 During the summertime, we attend sun dances.
00:32:31 It's hard growing up where I'm from.
00:32:33 Pine Ridge is a hard place to live.
00:32:35 They call it Poverty Plains, but we choose to live like that.
00:32:39 Now me writing is to hopefully make a change for our youth
00:32:43 so that they won't have to grow up in a society
00:32:45 that we grew up in today.
00:32:47 [music]
00:32:56 Knock, knock.
00:32:57 [laughter]
00:33:02 I got caught speeding, and he left me behind.
00:33:05 [laughter]
00:33:09 They turned the lights on him, so I drove around.
00:33:11 [laughter]
00:33:12 Went in the trees and barked.
00:33:14 [laughter]
00:33:19 Any suggestions from life here, boss?
00:33:21 Uh--
00:33:25 My main concern is, like, the Navy.
00:33:28 [laughter]
00:33:30 What's next in Canada?
00:33:32 [laughter]
00:33:35 Again, for my family from here, you know,
00:33:38 it's good to see everybody in.
00:33:40 My main thing was to see you guys laughing, fed,
00:33:43 and all that stuff like that.
00:33:45 So, you know, I extend my thanks.
00:33:48 And you guys are coming over this hill down here,
00:33:51 this little town, that was what I got afraid of.
00:33:55 Man, these semis on 34, you know,
00:33:58 they're going to come flying over, and as cold as ice is.
00:34:01 So I just stayed up there, and I see vehicles,
00:34:04 try to slow them down.
00:34:06 [wind blowing]
00:34:13 Hello.
00:34:14 This is a lady right here.
00:34:15 This is a Steph.
00:34:16 She has been really great in doing the--
00:34:20 coordinating so much of the food, the help,
00:34:23 the whole works.
00:34:24 She's been fantastic.
00:34:25 I had food coming all morning to my house,
00:34:28 so my truck was loaded.
00:34:30 [chatter]
00:34:35 [laughter]
00:34:36 Yeah, there was not even a question.
00:34:38 As soon as we heard about it, we got the email,
00:34:40 we responded back right away and said, yeah,
00:34:42 count us in, we'll help out.
00:34:44 When they marched the 38 to be hung, you know,
00:34:47 they marched them to Maniketo, and then after they hung them,
00:34:50 they buried them in a mass grave,
00:34:52 and the doctors from the local area,
00:34:54 they dug up the bodies and used them for science.
00:34:57 [music]
00:35:01 So when we learn that history,
00:35:03 then it's really hard.
00:35:06 [music]
00:35:19 I own all the land back here.
00:35:21 I'm just curious what is going on.
00:35:23 I've seen all the trailers here.
00:35:25 I grew up in Minnesota, and I had no idea
00:35:28 that there had been a hanging of 38 warriors.
00:35:32 And then the boarding schools, of course,
00:35:35 to try to turn all the Indians into white people,
00:35:39 and their spiritual ceremonies were illegal until 1978.
00:35:45 Maybe U.S. white America will reach,
00:35:50 or maybe is reaching, the point where they can start
00:35:54 acknowledging what really happened in this country.
00:35:58 They can acknowledge the massive land theft,
00:36:02 3 billion acres within the continental United States.
00:36:05 Maybe they can acknowledge the broken treaties,
00:36:09 over 400 of them broken and violated
00:36:12 by the United States of America
00:36:14 and its U.S. Euro-American citizenry.
00:36:17 Maybe they can acknowledge the genocide that occurred,
00:36:22 16 million Native people within the continental United States
00:36:26 around 1500, and by 4 centuries later, 1900,
00:36:31 the U.S. Bureau of Census said there was 237,000 left in the U.S.
00:36:38 What happened?
00:36:40 [music]
00:37:09 [music]
00:37:19 [music]
00:37:47 It's like my brother and I, we grew up shaking hands with everybody,
00:37:50 whether you seen them last night or, you know,
00:37:53 stick that old black paw out there,
00:37:56 let somebody shake that thing for you, you shake it back,
00:38:00 and when you got love in your heart, they feel that love.
00:38:03 It could be the most bitter SOB there,
00:38:08 but, you know, he'll cool off and slow down.
00:38:12 Like I said, we don't discriminate against anybody on this ride,
00:38:16 anybody's welcome.
00:38:18 I was always scared to tell people that I loved them,
00:38:22 and I'm not anymore.
00:38:26 So I just want to tell you guys I love you,
00:38:31 and thank you for being here.
00:38:33 I know it's hard, but let me know if you need anything.
00:38:36 I'm more than willing to help.
00:38:38 [speaking in Native language]
00:38:40 [applause]
00:38:42 You have something in there.
00:38:44 That one guy said he saw her step in a crack.
00:38:48 Yeah.
00:38:49 That's her ankle.
00:38:57 Well, she ain't going to make this ride.
00:39:06 You may not know it, because I don't tell very many people,
00:39:13 but I'm 100% combat-related disabled, 100%.
00:39:30 Jim knows what I'm talking about.
00:39:32 [shouting]
00:39:45 As a Vietnam combat veteran, my PTSD really kicked in today.
00:39:51 It's a post-traumatic stress disorder.
00:39:55 I'm 100% disabled,
00:39:59 and the doctors tell me not to be on the horse.
00:40:04 Today it's really kicking in.
00:40:08 [singing]
00:40:32 I'm glad you guys let me be part of this.
00:40:36 [speaking in Native language]
00:40:39 [snoring]
00:40:53 With that wowa coming inside those six directions,
00:40:56 you place a man or a woman on a horse,
00:40:59 you give it the seventh direction,
00:41:01 which is the chokata, the center of all things.
00:41:05 It represents mitaakwe awas, everything is related and balanced,
00:41:10 and you put that all together and you move forward,
00:41:14 you're able to create power as you go.
00:41:18 So that was their justification for going to war,
00:41:24 that it was either to defend themselves
00:41:29 rather than starve to death.
00:41:32 I learned a lot about the 38 plus 2
00:41:36 because while I was on that ride, I could really look into the past.
00:41:41 While you're sitting on that horse, it makes you realize
00:41:44 you have a lot of time to think.
00:41:47 [music]
00:42:10 [speaking in Native language]
00:42:38 [singing]
00:42:52 They say that the spirits are the ones that lead the people.
00:42:56 They are in front of that staff.
00:42:58 They're the ones taking us through this cold weather.
00:43:02 These elements, they say these elements are a part of life.
00:43:05 [music]
00:43:12 We didn't realize how inspirational this was going to be.
00:43:16 If they would bless us by coming back again some year,
00:43:19 we would really welcome them.
00:43:22 We hope it's an annual event,
00:43:24 but we hope the weather is a little bit more cooperative.
00:43:28 [music]
00:43:57 [music]
00:44:08 We wanted to put "Welcome to our farm" on it,
00:44:11 but we didn't know how to spell it or how to say it.
00:44:14 So he came up with the word for "thank you."
00:44:18 We thought we can park all the vehicles.
00:44:20 We have lots of land, and we have pasture for the horses
00:44:23 and a shop to feed everybody.
00:44:25 We just thought it was just a really neat thing you're doing
00:44:28 and a good message for the season
00:44:30 and something we wanted our kids to experience with all of you.
00:44:34 We thought it would be more personal here.
00:44:37 I'm going to sing this song on behalf of my relatives here
00:44:41 to honor you today for this grateful thing that you've done for us.
00:44:46 [singing]
00:45:01 [music]
00:45:21 [music]
00:45:42 We couldn't even see.
00:45:44 The cars couldn't even see.
00:45:45 The horses were doing this, like faces.
00:45:47 The wind's coming from this way, and everybody's going this.
00:45:50 The train stops, gets out, "We're shutting it down, we're shutting it down."
00:45:52 Everybody gets off their horses.
00:45:53 They're not rooming up in the car.
00:45:54 I look over.
00:45:55 Gus's truck and trailer is in a ditch.
00:45:59 Over.
00:46:00 Things going terribly wrong.
00:46:03 It didn't need to happen, man.
00:46:05 You have to have a conversation.
00:46:07 Talk about it.
00:46:08 We have two days of rest, the 21st and the 22nd.
00:46:10 Today is the 20th, right?
00:46:12 You don't ride today.
00:46:14 You wait for the storm to pass, Saturday and Sunday,
00:46:16 like the weather report said it was going to be horrible,
00:46:19 and then the day's a rest.
00:46:21 He hit the ditch back there.
00:46:23 There's no room for our horses.
00:46:25 Yeah, you got to make arrangements.
00:46:26 You can haul horses there.
00:46:28 You know, you're going to stop it.
00:46:29 You got to haul them back.
00:46:31 Shit, man.
00:46:32 You just stop, stop.
00:46:33 We keep on riding.
00:46:34 I don't know.
00:46:35 I got to have my horse safe.
00:46:38 Not out in the middle of the road.
00:46:40 Makes complete sense to me, but since I'm not involved in this,
00:46:42 I'm not a leader, I can't--
00:46:44 You are a leader, Adam.
00:46:45 We are all leaders.
00:46:47 Yeah, we're all leaders.
00:46:48 That's a great saying, and I'd like to believe that.
00:46:52 All we're doing here is a lack of communication.
00:46:56 That's all we have.
00:46:58 I told you guys when we first started,
00:47:01 I'm not only the person that had the dream.
00:47:05 So I try to step back, and I try to let these leaders step up.
00:47:11 [chatter]
00:47:18 Could have made it easier.
00:47:19 He's pretty much taken on Nathan.
00:47:21 Yeah, they knew this.
00:47:22 [chatter]
00:47:28 I saw that.
00:47:29 She got kicked this morning.
00:47:30 The little girl got kicked by Chris' horse.
00:47:36 Right in the hand.
00:47:37 [chatter]
00:47:41 Where I come from, everybody's mostly still mad about what happened.
00:47:49 That's probably another reason why I don't really get along
00:47:53 with the Caucasian people.
00:47:56 It's because of the 38?
00:47:57 Yeah.
00:47:58 [applause]
00:48:08 [music]
00:48:13 [gunshots]
00:48:22 They rose up to defend themselves, starving to death,
00:48:27 to protect their land, their way of life, and their people.
00:48:35 Was it wrong to defend ourselves?
00:48:42 That's the question.
00:48:45 Within weeks, 500 whites, settlers, soldiers,
00:48:49 and government agents were dead,
00:48:52 along with a smaller but unknown number of Indians.
00:48:56 There were pretty horrendous deeds done on both parts.
00:49:00 I mean, some immigrant from Germany who wasn't privy
00:49:04 to the signing of Traverse to Sioux Treaty
00:49:06 was probably pretty shocked to see his wife's womb cut open,
00:49:10 a baby taken out and brained against a tree,
00:49:12 just as later when New Ulm people attacked the Indians
00:49:15 and killed a woman's child in front of her.
00:49:18 You know, there's no heroes here.
00:49:20 It was just an ugly situation.
00:49:24 When I think about Abraham Lincoln,
00:49:26 that's hard to swallow because he freed the slaves,
00:49:31 but yet really succumbed to pressure from the people to hang.
00:49:38 You know, there were supposed to be 300,
00:49:41 over 300 that were supposed to be executed,
00:49:46 but he reduced it to 38, you know.
00:49:50 We say this is a spiritual ride.
00:49:54 We're going to be the first ones to ask for forgiveness.
00:50:00 We want to say our apologies as the natives.
00:50:06 We want to step up and say, hey, we apologize.
00:50:11 So we're going to be the first ones to forgive what happened
00:50:16 when they hung our ancestors in 1862.
00:50:20 We're going to be the first ones to forgive.
00:50:24 [music]
00:50:52 You know, I have anger in my heart too,
00:50:54 and I took care of it the best I can.
00:50:56 And I feel like I've done pretty good in the last 10 years,
00:51:00 moved forward pretty good,
00:51:02 and it's time to let those things go
00:51:05 and press forward in a positive way.
00:51:09 [applause]
00:51:13 You know, Poncho and I are the ones who were interacting
00:51:20 with the family, talking with Eli, talking with Taylor,
00:51:22 the daughter she just Facebooked me, talking with Brady,
00:51:26 you know, because if we're not talking with them,
00:51:30 everybody else, you know, within my opinion
00:51:33 of the Native community, is doing their own little thing
00:51:35 in the corners.
00:51:37 Dave said he's never been into a white person's home,
00:51:39 and he's from Sistin, you know,
00:51:42 and that's where all those guys are from.
00:51:44 So it's probably hard for them.
00:51:47 I know it's hard for them,
00:51:48 but those people could not have made it easier.
00:51:50 And I'm not saying what they were feeling,
00:51:52 but this family, like, they had "Wopeeda" for peace
00:51:55 on their shirts with a horse in rainbow letters.
00:51:59 It could not have said, like, "Welcome"
00:52:01 with their names on the back.
00:52:02 I mean, they went to a lot of trouble for this.
00:52:04 I don't know if they normally walk around with that
00:52:06 or they did it for this ride,
00:52:07 but they had, you know, the whole--
00:52:09 they had the whole thing going.
00:52:11 I feel like we let them down a little bit, actually,
00:52:14 as a community.
00:52:16 I don't know, it's just how us grew up,
00:52:19 not having them trust us
00:52:20 or thinking we were going to steal something,
00:52:22 or, you know, something was going to go missing
00:52:24 and they were going to blame us.
00:52:26 So I didn't really feel comfortable
00:52:29 stopping at all those houses.
00:52:30 I mean, it's cool that they did that, man.
00:52:33 I like that a lot.
00:52:35 It's pretty crazy how it all worked out
00:52:39 for the horses and for us.
00:52:41 [horse whinnies]
00:52:43 [laughter]
00:52:46 What are you doing?
00:52:48 Recording.
00:52:49 What's your name?
00:52:50 Amber.
00:52:51 Amber? Are you going to ride, Amber?
00:52:54 Are you? Are you excited?
00:52:56 Yeah.
00:52:57 You're a part of this group now,
00:52:58 so, like, don't be afraid to tell them how you feel
00:53:01 because they don't know that, you know?
00:53:03 To, like, do it publicly is a big--
00:53:06 Yeah, but--
00:53:07 Is a big thing.
00:53:08 But now you're part of the group, so--
00:53:10 But am I?
00:53:12 Do you know what I'm saying?
00:53:13 Yeah.
00:53:14 I feel like I am, but then...
00:53:17 it's kind of like, you know, am I?
00:53:22 [applause]
00:53:25 A lot of us are getting sore throats
00:53:35 and headaches and stuff,
00:53:37 and it's kind of hard to be in this climate
00:53:41 if we're not used to it,
00:53:42 and I know the Canadians, they don't care.
00:53:44 They go around naked.

00:53:46 I seen Carl walking down the creek
00:53:50 with just a blanket on this morning.
00:53:54 He was going to chop a hole in the ice
00:53:56 and take a bath, he said.
00:53:59 But I think one of our leaders here
00:54:01 made some medicine in that container over there.
00:54:05 Feel free to get some,
00:54:07 especially now when it's really warm.
00:54:09 Us guys take medicine as hot as we can take it.

00:54:17 Get some more in.

00:54:22 I mean, I don't want this ride to end.
00:54:27 I want to keep this ride going
00:54:29 because this is the only time I ever felt happy.
00:54:34 'Cause back home, it's really hard
00:54:37 and makes me feel good riding for my people.
00:54:42 Our people...
00:54:51 suffer from something.
00:54:55 An elderly woman of full-blood Dakota
00:54:59 from where I'm from in Crow Creek,
00:55:02 I was with her one time,
00:55:04 and a lot of bad things were going on.
00:55:07 A lot of bad things.
00:55:09 And I had asked her,
00:55:11 "Why does this always happen to us?
00:55:13 "Why do we do these things to each other?
00:55:15 "Why does it always happen?"
00:55:18 And she didn't say nothing.
00:55:20 She was driving a car for a while.
00:55:24 I looked over at her, she was crying.
00:55:27 And she said in her language,
00:55:29 [speaking Dakota]
00:55:32 "A deep, embedded genetic depression."
00:55:37 See, our people at one time, the Dakota people,
00:55:41 all Native Americans,
00:55:43 had a very strong connection with the Creator,
00:55:47 a very strong connection with Mother Earth,
00:55:51 a very strong connection with nature,
00:55:53 the forces of nature,
00:55:55 all living things on this planet.
00:55:57 And all this was taken from us like that.
00:56:02 [music]
00:56:05 And we lost this connection with everything that we had.
00:56:09 That's where this depression comes from.
00:56:12 A lot of our people are severely depressed,
00:56:14 and they don't even know it.
00:56:16 This depression is just now clinically diagnosed
00:56:20 as the same thing soldiers suffer from
00:56:22 when they return from combat.

00:57:43 Didn't make no connection with Mankato.
00:57:47 Didn't know about Mankato till I had this dream in 2005.
00:57:52 [gunfire]
00:57:56 There was 38 that were hung,

00:58:21 to release the 38 Vietnamese men that had been killed,
00:58:26 you know, killed by him.
00:58:31 And all of this was told to him by his mother,
00:58:34 and his mother passed away when he was 10,

00:58:39 and told him he needed to do this.

00:59:50 In the early hours of Friday the 26th,

00:59:56 some of the Dakota men lay sleeping on the floor.
01:00:00 At dawn, many of the condemned men
01:00:02 said goodbye to their captors
01:00:04 in a display that fascinated the reporters.

01:06:43 that helped me fulfill this dream.
01:06:47 It's been a blessing for our people.
01:06:52 53 years ago, I entered first grade,
01:06:57 and I was taught nothing but misinformation
01:07:02 about the people that preceded me on this land.
01:07:05 And it wasn't until the 1980s,
01:07:08 when I walked into my first powwow at the Land of Memories,
01:07:12 when I realized that I didn't know anything
01:07:15 except lies, for the most part.
01:07:18 And so I started that day to listen.
01:07:21 Whereas the Dakota people lived in unity with the land
01:07:24 for many years, long before the European people came,
01:07:27 and whereas the Dakota people have suffered
01:07:30 unimaginable hardship over a long period of time
01:07:33 as the land and riches they once had
01:07:36 were gradually removed from their control,
01:07:39 and whereas the Dakota people have many times
01:07:42 been forcibly relocated at the whim of the United States government,
01:07:46 and whereas one outcome of their trials
01:07:49 was the largest mass execution ever recorded in U.S. history,
01:07:53 and whereas the Dakota people have put forth tremendous effort
01:07:57 in an attempt to continue to heal
01:08:00 from their suffering over all these years,
01:08:03 and whereas the people of this community
01:08:06 welcome the Dakota people to be part of our community
01:08:10 today and always,
01:08:12 and whereas the people of this community recognize
01:08:15 the responsibility we must bear in this healing process,
01:08:19 and whereas the people of this community
01:08:22 wish to be part of the healing process
01:08:25 as the wounds begin to close.
01:08:28 Now therefore, in recognition of the tremendous contribution
01:08:31 made by the Dakota people toward that healing process
01:08:34 to our community and communities in the region,
01:08:37 I, John D. Brady, Mayor of the City of Mankato, Minnesota,
01:08:40 do hereby proclaim December 26, 2008,
01:08:43 to be Dakota Reconciliation O-Kee-Kee-Kee-Soo-Yay Day.
01:08:46 And in the sense of true reconciliation,
01:08:49 I just want to say, welcome back to your home.
01:08:53 [cheers and applause]
01:08:56 I have just one little thing, and then I'll let you go.
01:09:10 Just a little symbolism of that welcoming,
01:09:13 I'm going to also offer Jim a key to the City of Mankato.
01:09:17 [cheers and applause]
01:09:20 It's a key that opens no locks, it only opens hearts.
01:09:25 [laughter]
01:09:28 Thank you very much.
01:09:31 I thank each and every one of you here in this room.
01:09:36 I thank the City of Mankato.
01:09:40 I hope this opens a jail cell or two.
01:09:44 [laughter]
01:09:47 [music]
01:09:50 I'm going to pass this staff on.
01:10:02 I have 2 extra feathers for the 2 Dakota
01:10:06 that were hung 2 years later,
01:10:09 and I want to present them to him also.
01:10:12 We are going to keep this going.
01:10:16 From here, forever, we're going to keep this ride going.
01:10:21 There was a bald eagle just after he started singing.
01:10:28 It was soaring just above us there.
01:10:31 To see that, to see something like that,
01:10:36 you know, was making me emotional.
01:10:40 You know, it was making me cry.
01:10:43 It would make any man cry to see something like that,
01:10:47 you know, happening, 'cause this is real.
01:10:51 You know, it's not going to end for me,
01:10:54 I'm just going to keep the happiness with me.
01:10:57 I'm not going to, like, once this ride ends,
01:11:00 I ain't going to leave my emotions right there
01:11:03 and just go back home to what I was doing.
01:11:06 I'm going to take it with me, it's going to come home with me.
01:11:09 Let's strive for that reconciliation.
01:11:13 Let's go home and reconcile our families, our differences.
01:11:19 Let's go home and hug our children,
01:11:22 tell them that we love them.
