Native Twitter has gone ablaze as a Native American elder singing the AIM Song in Washington DC during the Indigenous Peoples March was ridiculed, taunted and mocked by a group of non-Native youth.
The video, which was posted by YouTube account holder KC NOLAND, was also screen captured and shared on other social media accounts with views shortly gaining tens of thousands of views.
The elder is Nathan Phillips, an Omaha elder who is also a Vietnam Veteran and former director of the Native Youth Alliance. He is also a keeper of a sacred pipe and holds an annual ceremony honoring Native American veterans in the Arlington National Cemetery.
Phillips is also the subject of a previous racially-based incident when he was taunted and harassed by Eastern Michigan University students who were dressed stereo-typically as Native Americans. As reported in FOX 2 News, he was yelled at and hit by a thrown beer can.
In a previous interview with Phillips, he told Indian Country Today that returning from Vietnam was not easy as a veteran. “People called me a baby killer and a hippie girl spit on me.”
Indian Country Today does not have further details, but will report as more details emerge.
Worst lyrics ever.
Sounds like they were FSU or Atlanta Braves fans.
“Ay yay yay oh
Ay yay yay oh
Ay yay yay oh”
Stolen directly from The Rolling Stones.
AIM is The radical left Indian group run by Russell Means for many years. They used to protest he Columbus Day Parade in Denver every year, by throwing horse manure at the marchers, probably still do.

Good question. I don’t see any “taunting.”
“And here she is, ladies and gentlemen, singing one of her native songs, Stairway To Heaven, it’s Paleface Lizzy Warren!”
Keeper of a sacred pipe? With cred like that no one can possibly be against him.
From the picture of the taunters it seems to me they are a bunch of Democratic snowflakes trying to create fake news. I could be wrong but in any case from the looks of them I wouldn’t want to have to share a foxhole with any of them because it might be filled up with tears or feces.
They were a lot more polite and respectful than most teen boys these days. Any time you get a group of teenage boys together there is going to be some laughing and horse play going on. It is hard to believe that any of them were able to keep a straight face during this guys “performance”.
I think Buster belongs to the Whitefoot Tribe.
The elder even seemed to welcome their participation when they joined in.
was it a bunch of liberal kids wearing the hats to make it look like they were trump supporters?
Please view the video.
You won't see taunting. You'll see these young men joining in the chant.
Nothing more. Nothing less.
The was no disrespect.
You are correct.
So what. The commenters and the article's author act as if there is something wrong with simply watching an experienced left wing activist do his thing.
Fake outrage.
The old guy got in the young guy’s face and the young guy didn’t back down.
