I stopped watching the documentary after just 15 minutes. I cried alot. I realized I cant watch or read about the Wounded Knee Massacre, unless I prepare myself for it. Those are MY relatives they have pictures of. That is MY band that was murdered there. Thats MY great-grandpa frozen in the snow, immortalized in that awful pose. As Im watching that familiar feeling of rage and sorrow overflows leaving me even more determined to stand up for my people. But I also feel that ugly pull of hate towards the oppressors who have killed my family, my people. I will continue to work on forgiveness. Im going to smudge now.
