commonality our oppressor is the same
00:38
and our injustice is and everything that
00:41
we deal with is the same as a native
00:44
Africans I always say so-called Latino
00:48
spanish-speaking indigenous and just
00:52
oppressed people of the world so today
00:54
is indigenous peoples day 1010 and we do
00:59
not celebrate Columbus Day so we are
01:02
here to bring awareness on indigenous
01:03
people of today as well as what's
01:07
happening all across the nation can the
01:11
rest of you announce your presence
01:15
my name is Flores white ball from his
01:18
tiny rock nation and I am also here to
01:20
speak on behalf of my people and
01:23
indigenous peoples and bring awareness
01:26
to the issues as well as education
01:30
education
01:33
my name is wash day we young and I'm
01:36
also from this tiny rock nation and I am
01:40
here to educate people and let them know
01:45
about the struggles at home and also
01:49
build new alliances with people so that
01:53
we can stand stand together because our
01:57
people have a lot more in common than
02:00
than not now you guys how did you all
02:05
come together how did you all come
02:06
together as one when did you meet and
02:10
how did this alliance form
02:12
well my mother my late mother wanted a
02:15
lone wolf she used to work with them on
02:19
American Indian Movement she also worked
02:21
for Muhammad Ali and she was his public
02:24
relations director so with her PR work
02:28
she also helped do the publicity for The
02:31
Longest Walk which was from DC - I'm
02:34
sorry it's from Alcatraz - Washington DC
02:36
that's where she met Russell Means and a
02:39
lot of Dennis banks and so many other
02:41
phenomenal people and by being her
02:44
daughter I just continued on with the
02:46
work and Russell Means was a phenomenal
02:51
like an uncle figure in my life and just
02:55
a phenomenal fearless leader and so he
02:59
connect inw connected me to Phyllis
03:06
Young who was a tribal council leader
03:08
for Standing Rock at the time when I met
03:11
her and she is one of the phenomenal
03:15
leader and organizer so this is wash day
03:20
we Phyllis Young's daughter and Flurry's
03:23
is from Standing Rock who is her friend
03:25
as well as I'm Natanya means is Russell
03:29
means son and on Keith's imc I met him
03:32
last year in four ten ten he came and I
03:37
heard about it and said he needed to
03:39
come so I think that when we have all
03:42
connecting through the leaders of
03:45
yesterday and we are the future
03:49
generation of those leaders from
03:52
yesterday from the 60s and the 70s and
03:55
and the movement has brought us together
04:00
now can you guys explain a little orchid
04:02
floor restore you talk about what's
04:04
going on in the Dakotas two people we've
04:08
covered it on all hip-hop but I think
04:10
there's still a lot of ignorance lack of
04:13
knowledge about what's what's going on
04:15
okay well just today recently there's
04:22
been a development of the Wisconsin
04:25
police department also joined with
04:27
Martin County Sheriff's Department and
04:31
they brought dogs with them and this is
04:36
not the first time having dogs on-site
04:39
they're the security firm did bring
04:42
attack dogs was it about a month ago and
04:47
they SiC them on the poor the people
04:50
that were there the families women
04:53
children men that were there were
04:58
unarmed and this is about protecting our
05:06
water in our land and our sites are
05:09
sacred sites and I know that it's I
05:15
don't know how hard of a concept it is
05:17
to understand that we're the first
05:22
peoples of this land and these are the
05:28
places where our people went to to pray
05:30
and where our people are buried and the
05:35
places we've never left this isn't a
05:38
foreign country to us this isn't a
05:40
foreign place to us the animals and the
05:44
birds and the fish and the
05:47
constellations they're there all of our
05:50
stories they're all our brothers and
05:52
sisters and it's not only a human issue
05:57
it's about fighting for all beings that
06:01
are on this earth and our brothers and
06:04
sisters and not only an indigenous issue
06:09
because we all drink water we all need
06:12
water to live we all wake up in the
06:14
morning and we wash our face and our
06:15
brush our teeth with water and wash our
06:18
bodies and we wash our children we use
06:21
water to cook for ourselves and to make
06:23
our coffee and it's soul there for us
06:29
every single day that we take it for
06:31
granted and we take just the simple
06:34
ability to walk in
06:37
turn a faucet on we don't know how
06:40
privileged we are to be able to do that
06:42
when there's millions and millions of
06:45
people that don't have that privilege to
06:48
be able to have access to clean water
06:50
most of them are because they're just in
06:56
in a place of poverty but there's also
07:00
this growing number of people that do
07:04
not have access to clean water because
07:06
of fracking and because of pipeline
07:08
spills and that's preventable that
07:13
doesn't have to happen and it's because
07:16
we're living in a time of convenience
07:20
and we want to be able to have
07:22
conveniences to be able to drive one
07:24
block over to the store as opposed to
07:28
going just walking that's a convenience
07:31
that's not essential and it's our
07:36
conveniences that are robbing our
07:38
children of a future and there's an
07:43
importance beyond behind standing
07:48
together as one people and because we
07:52
all drink water because we all need that
07:55
water we all there's 17 million people
07:59
that drink from the Missouri and the
08:02
Mississippi the Ogallala Aquifer that's
08:08
like the major artery in this country of
08:12
our drinking source of water and today
08:20
with the development of these police
08:22
forces coming and joining with Martin
08:25
County Sheriff's Department to protect a
08:29
oil pipeline speaks on how deeply rooted
08:33
these oil companies are in this fossil
08:36
fuel industry how much power and how
08:38
much they're willing the lakes they're
08:42
willing to go to go through and how
08:45
little our lives mean and not just us as
08:48
indigenous people how
08:50
Our Lives mean there it's all races
08:56
drink from that River and when you if
09:01
you take the stand against us as people
09:05
standing for you as as human beings as
09:10
parents and this and those grandparents
09:13
and just human beings as we make our
09:17
stand your race isn't going to filter
09:22
out that water when you go to drink for
09:24
men what's the present status of
09:28
everything is the last thing I heard was
09:32
that Obama had stopped it and it I
09:36
haven't heard much else since through
09:39
the media or social media the Dakota
09:43
access pipeline is a crude oil pipeline
09:46
that once you know they're trying to
09:50
build it from North Dakota down to
09:52
Illinois and it slated to cross the
09:55
Missouri River twice and the Missouri
10:00
River is our tribe the Standing Rock
10:02
Sioux tribes primary drinking source
10:05
what our community that our municipal
10:08
water supply is at is located right in
10:12
the middle of the Missouri River and
10:14
there are 17 million people downstream
10:17
it flows into the Mississippi and then
10:19
to the Gulf so once that River is
10:22
poisoned I'm sure that you guys seen
10:25
that the oil spills the failures of
10:28
these pipelines no matter how they try
10:30
to reassure us they're they're always
10:32
going to fail and when we're going to
10:36
talk about environmental justice the
10:41
pipeline was slated to go north of
10:44
Bismarck Mandan North Dakota and they
10:47
held the North Dakota Public Utilities
10:50
Commission had a meeting and they said
10:53
no it's not going to go there because if
10:56
it fails it's going to affect the city's
11:00
water supply but so the second plan
11:04
called for it to be right at Standing
11:07
Rock and that just shows the mentality
11:12
or their thinking that our people are
11:14
expendable
11:15
and so the Standing Rock Sioux tribe
11:18
filed in court for an injunction and
11:21
judge Boasberg in Washington DC denied
11:26
that and they went to the u.s. district
11:29
appeals court and they yesterday they
11:33
ruled against the tribe that
11:35
construction you know construction on
11:37
the pipeline could could continue but
11:40
not on the federal land that is the Army
11:45
Corps land
11:47
along the river so when the three
11:52
federal agencies that are involved
11:54
regardless of those court decisions
11:57
those three federal agency heads got
12:00
together with which was never done
12:03
before and they said despite what the
12:06
court ruled we're still you know it this
12:10
is still going to stop and we have to
12:12
work with the tribes because there are
12:15
fundamental flaws in the process I mean
12:18
the natives aren't we're not giving an
12:20
opportunity a legitimate opportunity and
12:24
the tribes of this country have a unique
12:27
relationship with the United States
12:28
government we sign treaties and only
12:31
sovereigns like the United States signed
12:34
treaties with friends and the United
12:38
States signed treaties with our nations
12:40
like many tribal nations and they you
12:42
know they broke every single one but it
12:45
is what it is it was a treaty and
12:48
treaties are the supreme law of the land
12:49
and that was established in the United
12:52
States Supreme Court so you know despite
12:56
the court decisions ruling against us
12:59
which in the back of my mind you're
13:01
always hoping for the best but you're
13:03
kind of like what's the next step
13:05
regardless so we were kind of expecting
13:10
it but no matter what happens we're
13:13
going to keep we're going to be there
13:14
this is our home
13:15
and when people leave and all that we
13:19
don't have anywhere to go
13:21
we're still gonna be here and that's our
13:23
drinking water and we're still going to
13:25
be there to defend it and protect their
13:28
families and so this militarization that
13:31
is happening with the police you see it
13:34
and being here in a city today is really
13:39
it's really profound because this
13:42
morning we we also did an interview and
13:45
I want to I want to push and promote the
13:50
alliance with our Native community and
13:53
the black community because we have such
13:56
so much issues in common like all these
14:01
these the police killing of people
14:06
natives are killed at a higher rate then
14:12
by police then the black community but
14:16
you don't hear about that and we have so
14:20
much more in common that we can build on
14:23
instead of tearing each other down I
14:27
think that if we just unify we could do
14:33
anything we really could and it's it's
14:37
our own struggles within our own
14:39
communities and our people oppressing
14:41
each other that is tearing us apart and
14:44
if we could just unify we really don't
14:48
even know the power that we have our
14:51
communities have talked about the
14:54
relationship the complex relationship
14:56
between black people and indigenous
14:58
people you know there is this
15:01
relationship between an indigenous
15:05
people mean original people the
15:08
indigenous people of Africa the original
15:10
people of Africa the indigenous people
15:12
of Turtle Island which is Canada North
15:15
America and South America and there is a
15:18
long long history of the unification and
15:22
the relationship of the black and Native
15:26
community but I could go all the way
15:29
back
15:30
I'm going to go to just after 1492 there
15:36
was there is a movie called the doctrine
15:40
of discovery that I advise everyone to
15:43
try to go see or try to get it and it's
15:46
about the papal bulls but also it's
15:49
about what happened with indigenous
15:51
people in regards to when when they try
15:55
to colonize and they was turning a lot
15:57
of the indigenous people who try to turn
15:59
them into slaves and so when the
16:02
Africans came they already I don't
16:06
believe that native people felt and I
16:10
mean saw color I think I believe in our
16:13
traditions that we saw are each other's
16:14
heart we saw pain we saw a commonality
16:18
there and so when when they were seeing
16:21
the Africans being treated as less than
16:25
and being killed and murdered and
16:27
everything that genocide that was
16:30
happening that the indigenous people
16:32
just came out of that genocide that
16:35
commonality begin to happen that
16:37
relationship began to have been and
16:39
there was many indigenous tribes
16:42
especially in the southern region that
16:44
was a domme adopting a lot of the
16:47
Africans into the family and so out of
16:51
those out of that unification came the
16:55
Seminole War those were free Africans
16:59
and the indigenous people of that land
17:01
of south of Florida that whole area out
17:04
of that came the Choctaw the Chickasaw
17:07
the creeks the Cherokee and then even on
17:12
the Trail of Tears those were free
17:14
Africans with the Cherokees that were
17:18
forced to go to Oklahoma and then once
17:20
in Oklahoma that's where black Wall
17:23
Street so much and then if you look at
17:26
Seminole today that's in the in Florida
17:29
that whole on that whole area the
17:34
unification of black and Native people
17:37
is so phenomenal in regards to the
17:42
nation that could be built with it
17:44
and so I so since this unification our
17:48
common oppressor washi Chewie say or the
17:52
white man basically was or for our
17:56
former slave masters was like okay we
17:58
got to keep the slaves here next to us
18:00
in the urban community right under masa
18:04
and let's take the Native Americans
18:06
further removed away from the way from
18:10
the Africans because we can't let them
18:12
unify because if they're because their
18:14
power is so was is so intense and the
18:19
knowledge in and the customs everything
18:22
is so similar all the way down to the
18:25
beadwork and everything is so similar so
18:29
they had a separating so there is so
18:33
right right now in America 89% of
18:36
african-americans have Native in their
18:38
lineage that's a long-lost family so
18:42
many people have had Native in their
18:45
lineage because their ancestors were
18:47
forced to remove themselves out of
18:50
native communities or vice versa and
18:53
they were forced to either say
18:55
black/white or other they was not
18:59
allowed to say so for me I always say I
19:02
am a survivor of so many Native and
19:07
black my mother was full blood and my
19:10
dad is black and to say that I'm proud
19:13
to be that because so many of my
19:17
ancestors that were up to was not able
19:20
to say that they were either killed or
19:23
they were say you have to choose what
19:25
you look like my you see my beautiful
19:28
melanin skin I'm proud to say that I'm
19:32
Native American and black because I know
19:34
what my ancestors fought so hard and on
19:37
that unification to happen for me to be
19:41
here so there is a so why is it
19:44
important today
19:45
well that unification has to happen
19:48
again we're at war you heard my sister's
19:52
say they said that they are I mean when
19:55
we was up there in
19:57
I spoke to you chuck there would they
20:00
have their dogs out they have they have
20:03
on what are those things
20:05
drones putting mustard does that mustard
20:09
tear gas all on everybody or whatever
20:12
some type of yellow substance on people
20:14
they have militarized police up there
20:18
now we know in in this past two years
20:22
three years we know what militarized
20:24
police look like well those that have
20:27
that type of training on how to deal
20:29
with that we need to go to Standing Rock
20:32
this unification has to happen and it's
20:35
not because we say black lives matter
20:38
yes our life matters native lives matter
20:42
yes native lives matter but right now
20:46
that unification has to happen because
20:49
our life will not matter without water
20:52
they are attacking our water this is not
20:56
just native old Native Americans I just
21:00
you know they're just dealing with
21:01
environmental injustice that this system
21:04
has these people have constantly try to
21:07
separate us saying okay um racism or
21:13
police brutality is just a black thing
21:16
Latino immigration is just a Latino
21:19
thing environmental injustice is just a
21:22
native thing you know they try to
21:24
separate it but what all its all the
21:26
same we all are all affected by it and
21:28
this is that time where we have to unify
21:31
again just like how our ancestors
21:34
unified to escape slavery so when black
21:39
people say I got Indian a mafia yeah
21:41
that's usually true it is very true it's
21:44
because eighty nine percent of African
21:46
Americans today have native in their
21:49
lineage whether it was and and when you
21:52
hear like where my grandmother was a
21:54
Cherokee princess I mean she probably
21:57
was beautiful but she wasn't a Cherokee
21:59
princess you know there wasn't that but
22:02
she was probably very beautiful but that
22:04
just goes to show how distant we even so
22:08
even the week it became
22:10
as African people we became forced
22:13
kidnapped from a homeland of Africa then
22:18
we come here and join with the
22:21
indigenous people of this land and there
22:23
will force away from that family and
22:26
then we're right next to masa and then
22:29
we're like man so I want to go back to
22:32
Africa well guess what first before you
22:35
go to Africa get to the tribe that
22:37
helped you to help our ancestors move
22:40
away from the slave master that's also
22:42
your family so we are connected all the
22:46
way through the indigenous people of
22:48
this land all the way back to the
22:50
indigenous people of Africa what are you
22:53
guys thoughts on the election and the
22:55
way that's been playing out as it
22:57
relates to all of this I talked to
22:59
somebody for example in Hillary's
23:01
camping I stressed certain things as
23:04
related to the black community and not
23:08
to say they were negative about it not
23:10
negative but I won't say dismissive but
23:13
I'll say that it was focused on the
23:16
broader issues and Donald Trump
23:19
obviously do you guys have any any
23:21
opinion on can I answer that and you can
23:24
add on okay you know um when we look at
23:28
the Dakota access pipeline the funders
23:31
that are funding this pipeline are the
23:32
banks Chase Wells Fargo TD Bank SunTrust
23:37
Bank I could go on and on on Bank of
23:43
America I want to make sure we're
23:46
calling y'all out but in Marathon Sonico
23:49
gasoline these saint minh is over it's
23:53
over 50 banks internationally these same
23:57
funders are also funding Hillary and
23:59
Trump why aren't they talking about the
24:02
Dakota access pipeline why aren't they
24:05
talking about environmental injustice
24:07
why aren't they talking about issues
24:09
that are affecting native people because
24:12
those same funders are funding their
24:14
campaign and been funding the Clintons
24:17
for a long time if we look at look at
24:19
Afghanistan and look at
24:23
the wars in the Middle East now Bernie
24:26
Sanders was when he on his campaign
24:30
trail he went throughout Indian country
24:31
even after recently he was in solidarity
24:36
with standing rocking in Washington DC
24:38
at that March in solidarity Jill Stein
24:43
was out there with us in Standing Rock
24:46
and there's a warrant it was there was a
24:48
warrant out for her arrest for that as
24:50
you know she's running for the Green
24:52
Party so it goes down to whoever is not
24:58
talking about the Dakota access pipeline
25:01
then they those politicians are bought
25:04
all the way down to the Senators state
25:08
representative Congress all of the
25:10
people that are not talking about the
25:13
Dakota access pipeline then those they
25:16
are sold out
25:18
they're sellouts do not vote for
25:20
sellouts and that's not what I have to
25:22
say and we owe congressman we do have
25:28
natives in part in politics um we have
25:31
chase iron eyes from Standing Rock he's
25:35
running for Congress
25:36
so we yeah North Dakota right yeah he's
25:41
on the ballot so if you're in North
25:43
Dakota vote for Chase iron eyes it would
25:46
be huge cuz he'll be the first native
25:48
right to be Congress oh I actually did
25:51
have something to say but not so much on
25:54
the presidential campaign but the
25:57
importance of voting because the people
26:02
that were voting for or who were
26:05
choosing to put our voice behind and
26:09
it's important to vote because these
26:12
people are making decisions and exactly
26:18
with the decision for governor jack
26:20
Dalrymple to call a state emergency in
26:24
North Dakota and call in National Guard
26:27
when he has investments in this pipeline
26:32
he's guarding his own interests he's
26:35
using this
26:37
money to guard this pipeline and make
26:43
sure that it goes through because he has
26:45
investments in it he is a bot politician
26:48
and it's important at vote because these
26:54
are the kind of people that are making
26:55
the decisions for themselves they're
26:58
thinking of themselves and they're on
26:59
their own pockets and they're not
27:01
thinking about the people that voted for
27:03
them and it's important for us to vote
27:06
please vote and make sure that you have
27:09
somebody that's in there that's actually
27:11
representing your voice and your family
27:13
do you all ever get discouraged about
27:17
this type of fight I'm speaking as a
27:23
mother we have a divine right to protect
27:28
our children and this isn't just a thing
27:32
about glory personal glory in any shape
27:35
or form and when we go towards what's
27:41
going on right now when we're standing
27:44
on the front lines the first fear you
27:48
feel as a human being is for yourself
27:50
for your own safety but that has to be
27:54
pushed aside because we're fighting for
27:57
our children we're fighting for actual
28:00
living beings that need us to speak for
28:05
them and to fight for them and to
28:08
protect them
28:13
we we had this talk over breakfast this
28:18
morning about being the new generation
28:20
being the children of parents who were
28:24
in the American Indian Movement and
28:27
American Indian Movement was was
28:31
targeted by the government just like
28:32
Black Panthers because they had enough
28:36
and they spoke up on native issues so we
28:39
come from you know the greatest people
28:42
we come from Sitting Bull is our chief
28:45
everyone knows Sitting Bull around the
28:48
world and we come from Crazy Horse you
28:53
know we come from leaders that never
28:55
gave up ever gave up and it was a hard
28:59
life it was a hard time for them I can't
29:02
even imagine but to carry that bloodline
29:06
and that tradition and to live our
29:12
traditional way of life in our language
29:14
to espouse the the values that that they
29:19
had they were they were fearless and
29:23
those are the people that we come from
29:25
and we wouldn't be here if our
29:28
grandparents just gave up our parents
29:31
just gave up so it's it's like a whole
29:33
new generation and then our children are
29:36
going to be the one stepping up on a
29:38
whole new level because of the kind of
29:41
like the Enlightenment the Renaissance
29:43
so they're going to be even that much
29:47
more powerful because of what we're
29:49
doing here today I did Birth of a Nation
29:58
on the birth over there Birth of a
30:02
Nation I believe it was phenomenal
30:05
cinematically oh my god I know people
30:10
were complaining about the gore and but
30:12
that is the reality you know we can't
30:16
Hollywood or commercialize the pain and
30:20
the struggle of what our ancestors been
30:23
through and so I believe that
30:27
you know it was it was really great in
30:31
regards to and it also is reflexive what
30:35
we was just saying in regards to where
30:36
at war a spiritual war and as well as a
30:39
physical war and we are fighting our
30:43
oppressors when I was in Standing Rock -
30:47
to actually see these bulldozers and
30:51
these people standing there next to the
30:54
bulldozers these workers are just like
30:56
just nonchalant and just and they'd
30:58
looking at us like we are not human it
31:02
reminded me of what I could wouldn't
31:06
even what I could imagine what our
31:09
ancestors were feeling when they was
31:10
amongst the slave masters not looking at
31:14
us like we were human so birth of a
31:18
nation that it was it's very timely
31:20
because that's exactly what so many
31:25
people are still looking at people of
31:27
color today in regards to that we're
31:30
we're nothing well historically in
31:40
entertainment we've seen both blacks by
31:45
people African people and natives
31:47
depicted in a certain way and it's
31:51
almost exclusively been from the white
31:53
male perspective so we think about
31:58
cowboys and Indians or whatever cowboy
32:05
gets ambushed you know even now they use
32:07
that language ambushed and things like
32:10
that um Johnny Depp you know playing a
32:14
native how do you all feel about that
32:16
aspect of it and and and as it relates
32:18
to again we have to remember that white
32:21
people are seeing this and they take it
32:25
internalize it differently than we do I
32:28
hope that's not unclear but
32:34
well the lot of it started with the
32:41
media when they would publish in
32:48
newspaper articles and you can go to the
32:53
capital Capitol Hill and look at things
32:57
that are still there from that time and
33:01
what they did was use media to demonize
33:06
us and use the newspapers to justify the
33:14
land grabs that we weren't human and we
33:17
were attacking them when we was fighting
33:21
for our lives and fighting for our
33:23
families and just trying to live and it
33:28
hasn't stopped
33:29
today's indigenous people they day or
33:33
people are celebrating Columbus Day when
33:36
and when they tell us that it was a long
33:40
time ago it hasn't stopped we haven't
33:44
had a break we've we're still we're
33:48
still at war and we don't have a guard
33:52
there anymore but that colonizers and
33:57
our heads and our people and our
33:59
families and our homes and a lot of us
34:03
are coming away from that but at the
34:07
same time like I said it's never stopped
34:09
we haven't had a break it's still going
34:12
it continues every single day and as far
34:16
as the media that's exactly what's going
34:18
on right now in in North Dakota with the
34:21
reporting in the Bismarck Tribune and
34:24
kfir that they're using these they're
34:29
abusing a public response trust
34:32
responsibility to and abusing their
34:35
authority to be able to talk to masses
34:38
of people and using it to manipulate how
34:44
we appear and that where via
34:47
that we're that we're not just in our
34:55
argument right now and so that continues
34:59
and that were not human that were less
35:04
than human and last question can
35:07
somebody tell tell the people the truth
35:09
about who Christopher Columbus was on
35:14
this day Christopher Columbus the worst
35:26
man ever and those that was with him he
35:33
he was already home not accepted in
35:41
Spain he was already a rapist a murderer
35:45
a thief and he brought all that culture
35:49
here where they chopped off babies heads
35:55
and woman and sodomized men native men
36:02
all throughout South America and the
36:05
islands of the Taino people just I mean
36:12
what he did that man should never ever
36:18
be honored
36:21
ever and everyone that came after him
36:27
with that same influence and from him
36:33
should never be honored the Pope's that
36:36
came and molested and raped so many
36:41
Native boys and men that so many
36:44
Catholics honor so many the presidents
36:50
that came with that same culture that
36:52
did the exact same thing to a digitus
36:55
people so with him and and those three
37:00
boats he's
37:01
came with to bring all those mass
37:03
murderers and rapists here he developed
37:07
a culture that we were not used to
37:10
we were not those type of people he
37:13
brought that evil here and that's the
37:17
reason why now we know we know what evil
37:22
to the most the devil all the way down
37:26
to that low is because of him and that's
37:30
not who we are as righteous people as
37:35
