So you saw no problem with the “David Hogg” wannabe standing in front of him smirking???
OKAY......
No, I didn't. Phillips was the one who was instigating this whole bit of theater.
I didn’t see it that way...
No disrespect seen by the kids. The elder activist confronted THEM, while they were minding their own business, broke away from the march. They said and did nothing racist or demeaning, just danced and tried to chant along, or stood silently in their discomfort and tried to have a good time in spite of not knowing just how to react to a grown man approaching them whose culture they were not part of. Bullying and hating on these kids by the leftist agenda divisive SJWs at ICTMN is the abuse here. And I am native.
She mentions they are 16 and then swears at them. Typical of the radical left wing.
As for those Indians then it looked like they got int he kids faces hoping a reaction to get sympathy.
Er, he was a participant at an indigenous peoples march that has a mission statement that reads like a page out of the resistance handbook.
Smart money says he’s no fan of MAGA hats.
I’m an Iraq vet. Nothing but respect for the Vietnam vets here, but for too long the left has hidden behind whatever it takes to allow them to demand not just the right to protest, but to have that protest acknowledged, respected and cheered.
If I dressed up in traditional Irish garb, and started hollering limericks unity against progressive socialist injustice, and a bunch of BLM or ANTIFA hat wearing youths behaved like these kids did toward me, I’d thank me lucky charms I didn’t get a beat down.
I don’t agree with the elder’s politics at all...
My comments were just from what I viewed on the video...
What I saw was they were standing together at the beginning...I did not see who came upon who...
The young man seemed to me to be smirking and showing disrespect same as the ANTIFA crowd does at times...
If the elder was out of line, he was wrong and from the previous antics of the AIM organization, that very well could be...
I, myself, am part Scots-Irish and Tsalagi...I sometimes take offense to what tribal people face...
Exactly. That old man is an agitator and knew exactly what he was doing, especially when he got right into the kid’s face with his cameras rolling. I can’t believe some on THIS site fell for his crap.
The Indigenous Peoples March coincided with the right to life march.
The IP march is sponsored by a bunch of leftist groups. Social justice, oppose Trump, blah blah blah.
The old dude got in the faces of a bunch of adolescents who he knows have opposing political views, and then acts all butthurt when when they don’t defer to him in a properly respectful manner...at a political event.
The kids took the bait. We should be smarter.
AIM was nothing but a bunch of 60s new left Communist terrorist thugs. Though, of course, they refused to give a Marxist critique of “native” religion.
I did a little research on this Nathan Phillips elder...
He is not what he should be as a tribal elder...I think the western tribes act differently than the eastern tribes...
Their history is more nomadic than the settled eastern tribes such as Tsalagi, Muskogee, Lumbee and Tuscarora...
I think, again my opinion, this makes them more activist....
The drummer and his fellow protestors approached the group of young men. The kids basically stood still, a few moved forward slightly on the sides of the group to get a better view.
Apparently the leftists who are complaining about the whole thing are upset that the kids had MAGA hats on, and just stood there smiling. The leftists are also pretending that they are "outraged" because some of the kids sang along, or otherwise seemed to enjoy the singing. Apparently to the leftists now the song of the American Indian Movement protestors is something sacred.
And we all know leftists never disrupt any performance, or speech, or religious service. /s
The Native American activists approached them, and starting their song and drumming as a form of protest.
Do you know what the singer was actually saying? Supposedly it is a song specific to AIM, the leftist group who wanted to free Leonard Peltier. In case you forgot, he was the guy who murdered a couple of FBI agents.
It is the AIM song, you know the group that supports Leonard Peltier.
As far as ‘colonialism’ I think that the natives marching up from Central America are pretty good evidence that ‘colonialism’ has been going on since the first person walked out of Africa. To be sure, the ‘natives’ of today's America are colonialists themselves, having eradicated the group that came before them, as happened before them, and before them, and before them. But, as the elder should know, the end of colonialism came with the end of WW2 when boundaries of nations were set.
I wonder how the elder would feel if tens of thousands of people trespassed the boundaries of American Indian reservations and made themselves at home at the expense of the natives? Would he still be for no walls?
How does someone who approaches a group of people in a form of protest deserve any specific kind of response?
If some old leftist antifa guy comes up to you and starts chanting in your face do you owe him respect?
What is different about some old Native American guy approaching a group of people and singing the AIM song?
The kids just stood where they were, the AIM guys approached them.
What is disrespectful about standing there when some protesters approach you?
Are you an AIM supporter? Do you support what Leonard Peltier did?
The native elder was singing the AIM song.
Irrelevant. None of those punk kids ever heard of AIM or Peltier.
Those kids are a disgrace. Whoever chaperoned those kids should be fired.
The “elder” is an AIM activist. It’s not the kids who are false flags:
Some of the lawyers who were members of the AIM were involved with the American Communist Party. One lawyer, Mark Lane (scroll down here), even had a relationship with the Soviet KGB’s propaganda apparatus. This was revealed when a KGB archivist named Vasili Mitrokhin (scroll down here) defected to the British.... —— http://legendofpineridge.blogspot.com/2008/07/why-was-anna-mae-aquash-really-murdered.html

Either you haven't watched enough video from the scene to know what really happened, or you are just a leftist troll. Or you think conservative, pro-life, Catholic kids are a disgrace.
Those kids faced the typical leftist protest aimed at them, and designed from the beginning to create a video that the left could use to attack them, conservatives, and Republican party policies. They just stood there, and did nothing wrong. You either fell for it, or joined in.
I hope you are just mis-informed. If not, then you probably do support leftist groups like AIM.
