#Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee

[decolonize-the-left]

I know it's a movie but this movie and this scene regarding the Lakota does an amazing job of showing the manipulative bureaucratic bullshit native american people have been forced to put up with under threat of genocide or extinction.

"they're the ones who signed the treaty" is wild. The fact none of our treaties are even being upheld is one of our biggest betrayals.

Our leaders did so much for us, just to survive. And for what? Broken promises over greed and man made currency.

"And so, in the summer of 1885, Sitting Bull joined Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show, traveling throughout the United States and into Canada. He drew tremendous crowds. Boos and catcalls sometimes sounded for the "Killer of Custer" but after each show these same people pressed coins upon him for copies of his signed photograph. Sitting Bull gave most of the money away to the band of ragged, hungry boys who seemed to surround him wherever he went. He once told Annie Oakley, another one of the Wild West Show's stars, that he could not understand how white men could be so unmindful of their own poor. 'The white man knows how to make everything,' he said, 'but he does not know how to distribute it.' --Dee Brown, Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee

“Treat all men alike.... give them all the same law. Give them all an even chance to live and grow. You might as well expect the rivers to run backward as that any man who is born a free man should be contented when penned up and denied liberty to go where he pleases. We only ask an even chance to live as other men live. We ask to be recognized as men. Let me be a free man...free to travel... free to stop...free to work...free to choose my own teachers...free to follow the religion of my Fathers...free to think and talk and act for myself.”

― Dee Brown, Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee: An Indian History of the American West

Entierra mi corazón en Wounded Knee. Un libro de Dee Brown.

Esta es la historia del pueblo indio de los Estados Unidos contada por ellos mismos.

Hablando de genocidios más de un país debería mirar hacia su propia casa. Y no hace falta retroceder tantos años.

Dances With Wolves - „We‘ve come far, you and me. - I will not forget you.“

Comment: First Lieutenant John Dunbar is wounded in the American Civil War and wants to be transferred to the western frontier after his recovery. When he arrives at his new post he finds it abandoned. Over time he becomes friends with the Lakota (a Sioux tribe) who live there - and gradually adapts to their free and nature-bound way of life. By the mid-19th century, the territory of the different Sioux tribes covered large areas of the U.S. states of South Dakota, North Dakota and Nebraska - and some parts of Minnesota and Iowa. The Black Hills in South Dakota were the center of its territory and viewed by the Lakota as the seat of the spirits and therefore sacred. After the U.S. military considers him a traitor, Dunbar is forced to abandon his Native American friends so they don't face reprisals. The scene above shows the moving farewell to his friend “Stands With A Fist”. The movie „Dances With Wolves“ was a reason to visit the former western „frontierland” by myself one day (I knew it was filmed in the Badlands area). Sometimes you must see, smell, hear and feel by yourself to understand.

Another reason was the book „Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee“ from Dee Brown which I have read as a teenager. The book expresses details of the history of American expansionism and its harmful effects on the Native Americans. Brown describes Native Americans' displacement through forced relocations and years of warfare waged by the United States federal government. The government's dealings are portrayed as a continuing effort to destroy the culture, religion, and way of life of Native American peoples. On my trips through the U.S. I came across this history and the stories described in the book from time to time: be it by running accidentally into the escape route of the Nez Perces in Yellowstone National Park or into the former battlefield between Sioux and U.S. Cavalry at Little Bighorn - or be it by the planned visits of Fort Laramie and of course the Black Hills.

Right now I’m readying Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee, and whenever I read a nonfiction book I like to google each of the people mentioned to see what they looked like. Usually I do it with the good guys, but today I decided to look up James Henry Carleton, an absolute piece of human garbage who is rotting in hell, and what do I find?

Is that a fucking REVERSE BEARD??????? I have never seen a more horrendous facial hair in my life. Was this a common fashion at the time or was it just this guy???

Books I’ve read this week!

I was in a bit of a reading rut and my tbr pile kept growing, so I decided to try and challenge myself to reading as many books as I could this week.

On top of that challenge I also ‘forced’ myself to write a review for every book that I read, so that I can actively interact with the book a bit more rather than read them and put them back on the shelf. It definitely helped to do this, because honestly at least three of these books were a bit disappointing and it was interesting to actually work out why I felt this way about the book.

Overall I read 2,163 pages which is absolutely mind blowing, and my tbr shelf is now begging to be filled back up with new books (but I must resist as I still have a few more left to read).

Unsure if I’ll be attempting this again this coming week but we shall see!

i felt like i read a lot of books last year and its true that i read more than most years but i think i literally only read 3 1/2 books. reading is something ive always really struggled with and i think it has to do with needing to be like super hyperfocussed. idk i feel like if im not retaining and acknowledging the absolute most detail that i absolutely can then im wasting time. so I go pretty slowly and take plenty of notes to reference when i don't quite understand something mentioned in passing that happened chapters ago . and if i dont take a day or two between reading to absorb everything i feel overwhelmed. the notes help with my memory issues or putting everything together in my head. anyway ive always been super insecure about it and it probably sounds like no fun and too much work to everyone else and well it is a lot of work. which is what draws me to it and also discourages me. anyway pointless post im just saying it requires so much effort to me and i think its mostly due to myself and not the learning disabilities LOL. i heard once that dyslexic people tend to memorize facts because they learn information differently ironically i memorized this fact and perhaps thats why i feel like i need to get every single detail. also its just fun i really enjoy comprehensive breakdowns and literary analysis. i hope to read more this year perhaps its also a mix of not knowing what genres i prefer. vonnegut i can pick up immediately without trying as hard as other texts. i also force myself to read classics which are a bit more difficult bc i feel like i have to decode what theyre saying. ok im done now bye p[lease dont change your opinion on me im actually really self couscous (<- silly way to say self conscious ) about it

#one of my favorite things to do whebn taking notes is ask rhetorical questions and then half the book later come back and be like see maggie #you got this and here's what i (future maggie) think #all books i read for the first time i read catcher in tha rye urm jaws.. slaughterhouse. does watchmen count #i did reread the pearl steinbeck thats a short story though so. also half of bury my heart @ wounded knee and most of beastie boy book

it’s crazy how leading up to Custer’s Seventh Cavalry going off to the Little Bighorn to find Sitting Bull’s camp that everyone seemed to recognize that they were probably going to die. people writing goodbye letters to loved ones and drawing up their wills. what’s up with that. were they intimidated by the purported numbers of the camp? Custer seemed to think there’d be at least 1500 warriors ready. they knew it was a huge camp at the very least, the last big hostile camp left far as anyone knew, so maybe that’s what spooked them. it’s interesting.

#Psy's no punctuation posts #history tag #custerposting #it's wild esp looking at it now. knowing everyone who went there did not return #to their credit they were right to assume the camp was huge #i think Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee said the collective camps amounted to 10k people
