Donald Trump Indian Country #ASMR

THE WHITE HOUSE Donald Trump Indian Country #ASMR indianz THE YEAR IN REVIEW: Since assuming office as the President of the United States on January 20, 2017, Donald Trump has taken a number of actions that have gone against Indian Country's interests.  The ones that stand out include his directive to expedite the Dakota Access Pipeline, another to approve the Keystone XL Pipeline and a third to dismantle the Bears Ears National Monument. As of December 2019, all three controversies remain mired in litigation initiated by tribal nations. Still, 2019 was somewhat different. On March 26,, Trump created the Presidential Task Force on Protecting Native American Children in the Indian Health Service System, following the conviction of a pediatrician who was accused of abusing young male patients on two reservations. The Stanley Patrick Weber scandal was widely discussed among tribal leaders and key members of Congress throughout the year. Later in 2019, Trump sou...

"Montana Mosaic: Indian Boarding Schools" (2006) Feb 26, 2014 The Montana Experience: Stories from Big Sky Country MONTANA MOSAIC: INDIAN BOARDING SCHOOLS, directed by Gita Saedi Kiely "Kill the Indian, save the man."  This motto -- put forward by Captain H. Pratt in the 1880's -- sums up the American government's Native American "assimilation" strategy in the last 19th and early 20th centuries.  Indian boarding schools, as they were called, tore Native children from their families. cultural traditions, and even their languages.  To fulfill their mission, these schools undermined Indian culture while insisting on the superiority of non-Indian culture. The boarding school experience still casts a long and painful shadow over the lives of many Native Montana people.  This film traces the effects of the boarding schools on Indian children and Indian culture and their lingering legacy in Montana. This is an episode from the twelve-p...

Michigan Ranked #2 In The United States For Human Trafficking | i92.9

Michigan Ranked #2 In The United States For Human Trafficking | i92.9 Heart Line 💜1-888-383-4838 Michigan Ranked #2 In The United States For Human Trafficking January 09, 2018 by Artimis Human trafficking in Michigan has skyrocketed over the past decade. Now more than ever people need to be on the lookout to keep their family safe. Michigan is ranked #2 in the country for human trafficking, right behind Nevada. There are more than 1.5 million cases of human trafficking in the United States, including more than 2,000 cases of sex trafficking nationally. So why is Michigan ranked so high? Some say due to being so close to Canada, traffickers can easily take victims across the border. The National Human Trafficking Resource center reports that since 2007 they have received 1969 calls and 483 cases just from Michigan.

#DemocracyNow Impeachment Day? House Votes on Charging Trump with Abuse of Power & Obstruction of Justice 5,342 views • Dec 18, 2019 331 28 SHARE SAVE Democracy Now! 606K subscribers SUBSCRIBED President Donald Trump is on the cusp of being impeached by the Democrat-controlled House of Representatives, with a historic vote set today on whether to formally accuse him of abusing his power in dealing with Ukraine to help himself politically, and then obstructing Congress by blocking their investigation. Trump lashed out directly at the vote on Tuesday, calling the proceedings to remove him from office an “attempted coup.” Should the House approve either of the articles of impeachment, the Republican-controlled Senate will hold a trial with all 100 senators acting as jurors, with a two-thirds supermajority — 67 votes — required to convict. Meanwhile, thousands of protesters in favor of impeaching Trump took to the streets Tu...

#MandatoryMinimums #Prison #Politics How Mandatory Minimums Send Innocent People to Prison | Opinions | NowThis Dec 15, 2019 Yes, you can be innocent and still go to prison. Here’s how mandatory minimums tip the scales of justice away from the people. In US news and current events today, public defenders from around the U.S. spoke to NowThis News about mandatory sentencing and how it is fueling mass incarceration in the United States. Mandatory sentencing laws require certain punishments, typically prison time, if someone is found guilty of a crime. Which mean even in the case of plea deals mandatory minimum sentences are enforced even if the person might be innocent. These public defenders are calling for criminal justice reform to this imbalance in the criminal justice system. #MandatoryMinimums #Prison #Politics #News #NowThis #NowThisNews

The Dakota Sioux Execution Was The Largest In U.S. History — But America Has Forgotten It

The Dakota Sioux Execution Was The Largest In U.S. History — But America Has Forgotten It #WeNeverForget The Dakota Sioux Execution Was The Largest In U.S. History — But America Has Forgotten It By RUTH HOPKINS May 21, 2018 Every holiday season of your life probably came and went without your realizing that Dec. 26 is the anniversary of the largest execution in U.S. history. On that day in 1862, 38 Dakota Sioux warriors were hung in Mankato, Minn., under orders of President Lincoln. This occurred at the culmination of the Minnesota Uprising, also known as The Dakota War. The conflict had began because the Dakota people were starving to death. While most Americans have never heard of The Dakota War or the injustices that led to the largest execution in American history, I’ve known about it my entire life. I am a member of the Oceti Sakowin (The Great Sioux Nation). Natives and non-Natives alike whisper legends about us. It’s hard for them to accept what was do...
