💕 💕 LAKOTA IN AMERICA 💕 💕

Genevieve Iron Lightning is a young Lakota dancer on the Cheyenne River Reservation, one of the poorest communities in the US. Unemployment, addiction, alcoholism, and suicide are all challenges for Lakota on the reservation.

For nearly a hundred years, it was illegal to practice Lakota customs. Now, the Cheyenne River Youth Project is working with young people like Genevieve to create a stronger economic and cultural future—and they’re using their Lakota heritage to get there.

"Lakota in America" is the third film in Square's For Every Kind of Dream series.

Thank you for sharing. I was moved to tears many times. One of the most eye opening and moving experiences of my life was spending time in Navajo Country. My heart broke every five minutes.

It’s a shame what’s been done to Native Americans, I can scarcely fathom it. And why? I literally cry tears whenever I think about it since coming to terms with the reality. But to see Genevieve, so beautiful and full of life and promise is really heartwarming, and I pray that all of this turns around for your people, - our people. I’m not Lakota, I’m only a sliver of Native American. It doesn’t matter to me, it’s just a different family with unique traditions that belongs just as much as I to the Earth created for all of us to tend to.

We’ve done such of a piss-poor job taking care of things, I’m doing UAP channel to wake people up to the facts of the situation, so we can start being good Stewards of the gifts we’ve been given. I’m talking about the Earth, cultures like the Lakota, individuals like Genevieve. It’s imperative they need our best support, they deserve every advantage. It’s something to have proven tough enough to survive, but you all deserve to thrive. I pray that more people every day begin to understand it enough to say “it’s up me to change things” and follow up with ACTION. I pray that God provides every element in perfect timing to nurture them into the most fruitful versions they can be. Thank you for your dedication and for making this video! God Bless

The Lakota proverb at the beginning. "The ones that matter most are the children." I'm curious about the choice to open the film with this proverb. And what part Lakota proverbs play in keeping the spirit of your people alive. Great film! Thank you!

So are you going to stay on the reservation for the rest of your life feeling sorry for yourself? Or get a better life off the reservation?
