#Movies

Just streamed a movie that I've never seen before.

It's called #WomanWalksAhead starring #JessicaChastain doing what she does so well, playing a brave, rebellious & independent #woman, who in this case portrays a female painter named #CarolineWelden, who in real life befriended & painted a portrait of #SittingBull. the #Sioux chief, before he was killed in a confrontation w/the US soldiers to were attempting to arrest him.

The portrayal of his relationship w/Ms. Weldon & the circumstances of his death in the movie are fictional but the white American genocidal actions against #NativeAmerican people, as represented in the film, have been well proven & documented by history.

I'm going to buy the #DVD of this movie.

In response to the #GhostDance, an #AntiImperialist ritual, on #ThisDayInHistory in 1890 at the #StandingRock reservation, US agents assassinated #TȟatȟáŋkaÍyotake, aka #SittingBull of the #HunkpapaLakota. Seven other villagers were killed. The US is built on #IndigenousGenocide.

The Battle of the Little Bighorn (25-26 June 1876) is the most famous engagement of the Great Sioux War (1876-1877). #History #SittingBull #GreatSiouxWar #USHistory #HistoryFacts https://www.worldhistory.org/Battle_of_the_Little_Bighorn/

White Bull (Tatanka Ska, l. 1849-1947) was a Hunkpapa Lakota Sioux warrior, nephew of Sitting Bull (l. c. 1837-1890), who is among the many claimed to have killed Lt. #History #WhiteBull #SittingBull #Sioux #HistoryFacts https://www.worldhistory.org/White_Bull/

The Great Sioux War (also given as the Black Hills War, 1876-1877) was a military conflict between the allied forces of the Lakota Sioux/Northern Cheyenne and the US government over the territory of the Black Hills and, more widely, US policies of westward expansion and the appropriation of Native American lands. #History #SittingBull #Sioux #GreatSiouxWar #HistoryFacts https://www.worldhistory.org/Great_Sioux_War/

In his Indian Heroes and Great Chieftains (1916), Sioux author and physician Charles A. Eastman (also known as Ohiyesa, l. 1858-1939), includes a brief biography of the Sioux chief Sitting Bull (l. c. 1837-1890). #History #SittingBull #Sioux #HistoryFacts https://www.worldhistory.org/article/2434/charles-a-eastman-on-sitting-bull/

It’s time to speak up for these iconic animals who are so significant to American history.

The American Buffalo:
#SittingBull and the #WoundedKneeMassacre

Clip: 10/17/2023

"U.S. concern over a new #GhostDance ceremony prompted the arrest of the #Lakota #ChiefSittingBull. Dozens ended up dead, including Sitting Bull. Several hundred Lakotas headed toward the #BlackHills to end things peaceably with the #USArmy. En route, they camped at a creek called #WoundedKnee. The next morning, more than 250 Lakotas – mostly #women and #children – were killed by #US soldiers."

#NativeAmericans Ride to Remember #WoundedKneeMassacre

by Cecily Hilleary, December 21, 2018

WASHINGTON — "Dozens of #Lakota and other #NativeAmericanAllies are about to converge on #Bridger, South Dakota, for a pilgrimage they've made every December for the last 32 years: a 300-kilometer journey on horseback, retracing the historic journey, of a Lakota chief and 350 of his followers, that ended in a massacre.

"#AlexWhitePlume, a former president of the #OglalaSioux on the #PineRidge Reservation, is a founding member of the ride, which he organized in 1986 on the advice of his uncle, a spiritual interpreter.

"'My uncle said that we had to do some grieving over the historic #genocide of our people," said White Plume. 'As Lakota, our whole purpose is to be pure from trauma, ill feelings, guilt. But the historic genocide weighed so heavily on us that we couldn't think past it.'

"His uncle told him they had to bring back the grieving ritual, which Lakota no longer practiced. And to do that, White Plume needed to go back to the place where the Lakota's collective grief began.

Massacre at Wounded Knee

"In mid-December 1890, acting on government orders, tribal police arrested and killed Hunkpapa Lakota leader #SittingBull outside of his cabin on the #StandingRock reservation. His death came at a time when the government was on edge, worrying that #PlainsTribes were plotting rebellion against the abysmal conditions on reservations.

"Fearing for his people's safety, Sitting Bull's ally, #Minneconjou Lakota leader Spotted Elk (dubbed "Big Foot" by the cavalry for the size of his shoes), fled south to the Pine Ridge Reservation with about 350 Lakota, most of them women and children.

"The Army intercepted the travelers, who submitted peacefully and made camp along Wounded Knee Creek in Pine Ridge. On the morning of December 29, the Army began a search for weapons. A shot rang out — who fired and why is still not clear.

"The #USArmy opened a barrage of rifle, pistol and revolving cannon fire.

"Spotted Elk was among the first to fall, and 30 minutes later, as many as 300 Lakota lay dead — adults, children, and even infants. It wasn't until three days later that Army contractors gathered the dead and buried them in a #MassGrave at the rate of $2 per body.

"The massacre marked the end of the #IndianWars, ushering in an era of subjugation, forced assimilation and broken treaties..."

The #TeddyRoosevelt horses have roamed the badlands for centuries, and many believe they are descendants of #SittingBull 's horses and related to the rare #Nokota breed. They are a significant part of the historical and natural #heritage of the park, but the NPS' proposed plan threatens to wipe them out.

During the scoping period, 19,000 public comments were submitted, with the majority calling on the #NPS to maintain a genetically viable herd of at least 150 horses in the #TRNP –

HALT THE HELICOPTERS

The fate of the only wild horse herd left in #NorthDakota is in jeopardy. The #TheodoreRooseveltNationalPark is home to a historic herd of 180 wild horses who are believed to be descendants of #SittingBull 's horses and are related to the rare #Nokota breed – but the #NationalParkService (NPS) has made clear that they want to eliminate the entire #herd .
