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.

When she said "It's like we have room for death but we don't have room for life" that hit hard

i remember someone in America said (a native american i think) about their oppressors : "they wanted to bury us, but they forgot we were seeds"
-
To be called “Iron Lightning” is pretty legendary
-
As a maori I feel proud to watch other people keep their spirit alive. young or old

I am Irish man. Watching this makes me cry. I hope you natives keep getting stronger. Children are the future.

The government is shameful for what they did to these beautiful people. Their culture is amazing and beautiful

Do not forget your language, do not forget your culture, do not abandon your religion. Big love from a nomad in Kyrgyzstan.

I cried when she sang over her ancestors. Beautiful strong souls.

They shot the video like a movie it is beautiful... This deserves an award

I'm Lakota and it kills me to see us still struggling. I graduated Medical school and i work now for my own people. I don't take money and if you think the government does, youre still uneducated about us... #nativeamericanlivesmatter

''Knowing I come from these people, I feel like I have to do something big'' That's exactly why keeping traditions and passing on a culture is so important. It gives new generation a propose in life, something bigger then themselves. Gives them a legacy. It should never be pushed away or forgotten.

As a Kanaka Maoli (native Hawaiian) it makes me sad to see the state of life in the mainland for my native cousins but happy to see you all alive and growing. A time shall come where our people will rise again. Aloha my beautiful cousins

My heart breaks for you. I am Hawaiian, and the United States did to us what they are doing to you. My Great Grand parents in the years following 1898, were told to STOP SPEAKING our language. We have almost lost the language, but today the Hawaiian Community is training the willing children to speak, to dance, to sing and to learn our history. But I ask you to hang in there, you still have many 100% blood Lakota to marry, and to grow. We have a dwindling few 100% Hawaiian blood people. In 100 years we may have no one with 50%. We are dying. I want you Lakota to live, and prosper. This video is eye opening. Our lands have been stolen too, but we have no Reservations. Only a tiny few live on a few Hawaiian Home Lands, the rest of us are going to die off with out culture, language, teachers, and with out America hearing our story. I feel connected to you, I wish I could come to visit. With love and respect, another Indigenous person.
