Aaron Huey is all about the Sioux Native Americans, the ones who live on Pine Ridge Reservation. He starts off his TED talk with the native word for white people, which in translation basically means the one who takes the best meat, Huey spent five years with these people getting close to them trying to learn about their culture and what they are going through. Many of the Natives were unwilling to talk or get close to him, his skin color being the main barrier. The few who did allow him to pry into their lives he became very close with, often being called uncle or brother. Throughout Huey’s speech he was showing the timeline of ancestry and what these people of been through, the real information not what the government said students should learn. While speaking he had the photographs he had taken of present day Pine Ridge Reservation showing, this was real poverty, real injustice. Most of the history he talked about was how mistreated and cheated these people were, out of land, rights and most of all their culture.  Last night while watching this short video often stopped took out my earphones and would tell my friends and suitemates what I had just learned. The statistics were just unbearable; the pictures often brought tears to my eyes. I just could not believe this was going on right now in present day Lakota.  Aaron showed how unfortunate these people have been since the very beginning, they have had a few moments where they have come out on top but even then it is just a slight victory and then quickly pushed aside. This is all social injustice, these people deserve better, and they overall need better. They are left to do without and basically ignored by all of the United States unless it has to do with taking their land or someway hurting them. This was something I was completely oblivious too, I had no clue with was going on out by North and South Dakota. I had no clue that Lincoln, who we were taught was Honest Abe and one of the best presidents, had ordered the mass execution of women and children just two days after the Emancipation Proclamation. It seems if our society turns a blind eye to what our ancestors have done wrong, and still are doing wrong. It just astonishes me that more Medals of Honor have been given out to American soldiers to mass murder these human beings than to any soldier who participated in any battle in World War 1 or 2, Iraq and Afghanistan. Huey ended his TED talk with asking for us to return the Black Hills to the Lakota, and that it doesn’t matter what they do with them.
