Thank you, the story about fishing is so upsetting. Sovereign land! Really easy to understand. I'm confused, why the government believes they have any say at all about how fishing is regulated. I feel that we (non native) should be grateful simply for being allowed on your lands at all. Blatant disrespect is horrible.
Thank you all for the coverage. I'm so happy i found your channel. ❤

Funded we tribal people accomplished, but no other white people can do is to put casinos on our reservations which rack up tons of money because we know that white eyes are addicted to gambling so if the tribes have gambling casinos in their tribes that their money can go back to the tribes for clean energy why do you have to take it from the government why you have to take those handouts and if the tribes that don’t have casinos that aren’t making a fortune, they give to other tribes so we won’t have to take money from the white government. That is what you do, sir.

The American people have destroyed our land look at those highways look at all the heat that comes off those we’re protecting and preserving the land the fish why do you think our animals are going to stink because of man men’s destruction, white man’s destruction and you put us on reservations to keep us tied down well this is our land, our lake and our fish that is the bottom line

We of all nations of women are so proud. I just came from work and heard oh my heart sores. We need more women in politics and we need women who are indigenous to this land. That is the bottom line so we can take care of the land that grandfather gave us.

It's time for native peoples to be recognized for who they are weather it's a mayor governor or member of the United States house or senator up to and including the president or vice president of the country

I am Ojibwe , from White Earth like Peggy Flanagan BUT , don't be fooled , she is not living in a good way . Here starting a little more than 25 years ago Native Americans that lived in The Twin Cities area started getting pushed out of Affordable Housing by The Somalians , Peggy Flanagan sides with and supports The Somalians and now there is a Huge Population of Homeless Natives this information can be verified , The Cedar-Riverside Towes and The Biindige Apartments are just two of the places where many Low Income Native families were forced out , also , she has known about The Billions of Dollars in Fraud being stolen by The Somalians here for years and she did NOTHING to stop it OR even spoke out about it at all . I believe Natives should be in Power Positions BUT they must also be Honest .
