The Sacred Truth Behind America’s National Parks

Hmm… to paint all Native Americans, both modern and historically, as some sort of "oh, everything is sacred" kumbaya one-with-nature zen masters… is a giant fucking lie.

Beautiful!

This is such an important video series. Thank you for doing these.

what is the painting at 00:25 called?

Scared about you doing what "we" did? I didn't do anything to your ancestors. My grandparents didn't. Their grandparents didn't. 99% of people come from peasants and slaves. All people live on "stolen" land. All "natives" in America were also living on land they took from other tribes. How far back does this all need to go? 1,000 years? 10,000 years? 100,000 years? Where should it be applied? Just in the USA? Just in the NA? The whole world? This kind of reductive, deconstructionist movement is asinine and untenable in reasonable conversations about how to move the world forward.

Is that a Brownies uniform? 🤔

America is funding supporting and orchestrating genocide right now

" the worse type of slavery is where the slaves think they are free "

9:59, tribal nations act, would be a good name change for the Indian act

I like you, your delivery and your content.

History not taught

I was always taught the Sioux tribe never surrendered. And to this day continues to litigate re: tribe’s ownership of The Black Hills. Imagine telling US gov your sacred lands are NSF for 155 years…

I went to Mt Rushmore in 1997. Even then it seemed like a really stupid idea that went against the entire supposed point of National Parks. It’s an eyesore at best, even if you remove it from its political and historical context.

Any group of academics could make up these stories. The point of non development laws is that even in the least habitable places pioneers and natives made lives for themselves. When modern infrastructure was built these places still only ever produced enough foods for a handful of people by farming. Especially in places like utah. A handful of places in the Comercial make these lands seem more scenic than they are. In fact the majority of tribal ranges are pretty baron and scortched by overgrazing and industrial polution from mining. Tribal administrators usually restore one corner for themselves and keep everyone else in the tribe poor. These lands aren't possible to secure for a number of reasons. But most importantly because non development means no one will see this devastation because the only roads going there are either the masas driveway or industrial easment channels. To make matters worse mostly neither tribes or subsistence farmers have any real rights to improve anything. Despite stone age technology that could help a lot being common knowledge.

My wife’s laughing her ass off her and her grandma there native got just as many issues saying that they haven’t been raping , killing and enslaving !Each other thousands of years before they even new white peoples where real lol

You have no right to it just like I don’t because I can’t take it or keep it safe !!

Great Share thank you.!

Who else is mega creeper out by this guy in a boy scout suit

landback makes no sense when the perpetrators are still running around the planet doing the same things they've done for many many centuries. and now they even get to use the USA as a proxy to hide behind too.. no one is safe, no one can ever know peace and prosperity, until europe and its monarchist values are rightfully prevented from enslaving and slaughtering anyone and anything they please.

And native Americans are some of the most racist groups.

I think that's what conquering is. If your culture was stronger, you would have survived. Sorry, not sorry.

I think America stealing the hawaiian lands, exterminating our royalty, ending our monarchy, outlawing our language and way of life is par with the indignity shown to the natives of the American lands. Plus not being able to have our lands back after America's "apology" and being continuously occupied by military bombing our sacred lands daily and being forced to live and work in the slave industry to serve tourism that is out pricing and our buying is from our birth places is the exterminating of our hawaiian bloodlines

WHAT is up w/ that Boy Scout get up? Is he telling us that he is an Eagle Scout? Or is that uniform he is wearing some kinduv mockery? It's not at all clear WHY a grown man is dressed that way for this video.
