Broken Rainbow and Incident At Oglala

The two series of YouTube videos you are about to watch in this blog entry are called "Broken Rainbow" and "Incident At Oglala".
The first set of videos is a 7 episode series about the Hopi and Navajo nations in Arizona and bordering States of the USA, the way they have always lived, the way they live now and what the US government has done to them.





The second set of videos is a 10 episode series about the shooting incident in the Pine Ridge Reservation in 1975, in which two FBI agents got killed and for which the American Indian Movement got the blame and Leonard Peltier was eventually sentenced to life imprisonment.





In fact, both video "series" were orginally made as one film each, but posted as separated episodes on YouTube. I thank the YouTube members who originally posted these documentaries for doing so. The true story about the treatment of the NA peoples has to be told and it's about time the world gets to see it.


In the "Incident At Oglala" series, unfortunately, at the end of episode 7 and the beginning of episode 8, there is a gap, so that Leonard Peltiers official statement about his conviction and verdict, which he wrote in prison and reads out in the documentary, has been garbled and not fully shown in this version on YouTube.
