-I'm Iolo Williams and I'm travelling -across North America... | 0:00:04 | 0:00:09 | |
-..visiting Native American tribes -from the Navajo to the Cherokee... | 0:00:09 | 0:00:15 | |
-..from the wild west -to the mountains of the north. | 0:00:16 | 0:00:19 | |
-These were the inhabitants -of this incredible continent. | 0:00:19 | 0:00:23 | |
-I'm here to learn about the people, -their culture, language... | 0:00:24 | 0:00:28 | |

-Join me on a journey of discovery... | 0:00:38 | 0:00:41 | |
-..across one of the world's -most striking continents. | 0:00:42 | 0:00:45 | |
-These are the plains -of North and South Dakota. | 0:01:01 | 0:01:04 | |
-Two centuries ago... | 0:01:04 | 0:01:07 | |
-..60 million buffalo roamed -the continent of North America. | 0:01:07 | 0:01:12 | |
-Hundreds, if not thousands, of them -would have grazed on this land. | 0:01:13 | 0:01:18 | |
-These days, -only a few thousand remain. | 0:01:18 | 0:01:22 | |
-In this episode, I go in search -of this unique creature... | 0:01:22 | 0:01:26 | |
-..and meet the prairie's -Native Americans... | 0:01:27 | 0:01:30 | |
-..the Lakota and Dakota. | 0:01:31 | 0:01:33 | |
-This is the story of an iconic -Native American tribe... | 0:01:36 | 0:01:40 | |
-..and their unique relationship -with the remarkable buffalo. | 0:01:41 | 0:01:46 | |
-We come face to face -with the people and the animals. | 0:01:47 | 0:01:51 | |
-Sometimes, we get -a little too close. | 0:01:51 | 0:01:55 | |
-We explore how this ancient tribe -is coping in the modern world. | 0:01:55 | 0:01:59 | |
-Welcome to the world -of the Lakota and Dakota. | 0:02:00 | 0:02:03 | |
-I'm on the prairie to see an animal -that I've never seen in the wild. | 0:02:11 | 0:02:16 | |
-The buffalo. | 0:02:17 | 0:02:18 | |
-You kill the buffalo off, -you kill the Native Americans off. | 0:02:19 | 0:02:23 | |
-Mike Lawrence is the buffalo warden -for the Lakota/Dakota tribe. | 0:02:23 | 0:02:28 | |
-The buffalo is so sacred. | 0:02:28 | 0:02:30 | |
-If it wasn't for them, -our people wouldn't survive. | 0:02:30 | 0:02:34 | |
-In order to get close to them, -we venture into buffalo territory. | 0:02:38 | 0:02:42 | |
-We have to be careful... | 0:02:44 | 0:02:47 | |
-..and keep quiet. | 0:02:47 | 0:02:49 | |
-We can see the animals up ahead -but what we don't know... | 0:02:50 | 0:02:54 | |
-..is whether there are others -just beyond this hillock. | 0:02:54 | 0:02:58 | |
-We're moving slowly and carefully -because we don't want to scare them. | 0:02:58 | 0:03:03 | |
-We also don't want them -to turn on us. | 0:03:03 | 0:03:06 | |
-Even in a vehicle like this, -they could do some damage. | 0:03:06 | 0:03:10 | |
-Stop. | 0:03:15 | 0:03:16 | |
-Look at the size of them. | 0:03:17 | 0:03:19 | |
-Goodness me. | 0:03:20 | 0:03:22 | |
-I wouldn't like to be in a fight -with him. | 0:03:22 | 0:03:25 | |
-Look at him. | 0:03:27 | 0:03:29 | |
-It's the first time -I've seen buffalo in the wild. | 0:03:32 | 0:03:35 | |
-What strikes me most is how big -and powerful the bulls are. | 0:03:35 | 0:03:41 | |
-They're huge. They're like -the front end of a bulldozer. | 0:03:41 | 0:03:45 | |
-They're strong creatures. | 0:03:45 | 0:03:48 | |
-How dangerous are they? | 0:03:50 | 0:03:52 | |
-We don't take any chances... | 0:03:52 | 0:03:55 | |
-..getting too close to them. | 0:03:56 | 0:03:58 | |
-They'll give you a sign when it's -too close by lifting their tail up. | 0:03:58 | 0:04:03 | |
-When their heads go down, -it's time to head out of Dodge. | 0:04:03 | 0:04:07 | |
-Their ancient belief -is that the Creator... | 0:04:07 | 0:04:11 | |
-..put the buffalo and the people -on earth to coexist. | 0:04:11 | 0:04:15 | |
-The sacred buffalo -ran wild across the prairie... | 0:04:15 | 0:04:19 | |
-..until they were culled -by the white man. | 0:04:19 | 0:04:22 | |
-Today, on the reservation... | 0:04:22 | 0:04:24 | |
-..the tribe lives alongside -the buffalo once again. | 0:04:25 | 0:04:28 | |
-The men told me... | 0:04:29 | 0:04:31 | |
-..how important the buffalo were -to the tribe. | 0:04:31 | 0:04:36 | |
-The Lakota/Dakota in this area -were almost wholly dependent... | 0:04:36 | 0:04:40 | |
-..on the buffalo -for their hide, meat and bones. | 0:04:40 | 0:04:45 | |
-They used the entire animal. | 0:04:45 | 0:04:47 | |
-Once they migrated -to find better grazing pasture... | 0:04:47 | 0:04:52 | |
-..the Lakota and Dakota -migrated with them. | 0:04:52 | 0:04:57 | |
-These animals were their main source -of sustenance. | 0:04:57 | 0:05:01 | |
-Buffalo came very close -to extinction. | 0:05:03 | 0:05:06 | |
-I wonder what effect that had -on the local tribes here? | 0:05:06 | 0:05:11 | |
-The Lakota/Dakota are the people -of the Great Plains... | 0:05:12 | 0:05:15 | |
-..the vast prairies -of north-central USA. | 0:05:15 | 0:05:18 | |
-They're part of the Sioux tribe. | 0:05:19 | 0:05:21 | |
-These nomadic warriors -have lived here for centuries... | 0:05:21 | 0:05:26 | |
-..alongside the buffalo. | 0:05:26 | 0:05:28 | |
-They have a strong heritage... | 0:05:29 | 0:05:31 | |
-..and an ancient language -and culture. | 0:05:31 | 0:05:34 | |
-But as with all -America's native tribes... | 0:05:36 | 0:05:39 | |
-..the white man brought tragedy -to their world. | 0:05:39 | 0:05:42 | |
-Within decades, millions of buffalo -were slaughtered... | 0:05:42 | 0:05:46 | |
-..and a new way of life -was forced upon the nation. | 0:05:47 | 0:05:50 | |
-These proud warriors -are mostly remembered... | 0:05:50 | 0:05:53 | |
-..for their victory -against General Custer's army... | 0:05:53 | 0:05:57 | |
-..in the Battle of Little Big Horn. | 0:05:57 | 0:05:59 | |
-Today, as a semi-independent -nation within the US... | 0:05:59 | 0:06:02 | |
-..the tepees have vanished, -few speak the language... | 0:06:03 | 0:06:07 | |
-..and most of the 100,000 or so -Lakota/Dakota... | 0:06:07 | 0:06:11 | |
-..live a restricted life -within the reservations. | 0:06:12 | 0:06:16 | |
-Good morning. It's 7.00am -in the Central Time Zone. | 0:06:16 | 0:06:20 | |
-Broadcasting loud and proud... | 0:06:20 | 0:06:23 | |
-..we are the heartbeat -of the Lakota nation. | 0:06:23 | 0:06:27 | |
-Community radio KLND, -Little Eagle, South Dakota. | 0:06:27 | 0:06:32 | |
-From the fall of 1971, -the sounds of Mr Rod Stewart. | 0:06:33 | 0:06:38 | |

-Virgil presents the morning show -from Monday to Friday. | 0:06:42 | 0:06:47 | |
-He speaks Lakota -for the first hour... | 0:06:47 | 0:06:50 | |
-..and then switches to English, -as he's doing now. | 0:06:50 | 0:06:54 | |
-I've been invited onto the show. | 0:06:54 | 0:06:56 | |
-Once he gives me the nod, -I'll be joining him in there. | 0:06:56 | 0:07:01 | |
-It's a bit like doing Galwad Cynnar -every Saturday morning. | 0:07:01 | 0:07:05 | |
-I have some guests in studio -with me this morning. | 0:07:07 | 0:07:10 | |
-They come from a long, long ways -this morning. | 0:07:10 | 0:07:14 | |
-All the way from where, Olah? | 0:07:14 | 0:07:17 | |
-We've come from Wales in the UK. | 0:07:17 | 0:07:19 | |
-You've got England, Scotland, -Ireland and you've got Wales. | 0:07:19 | 0:07:24 | |
-We're Welsh -and we have our own language. | 0:07:24 | 0:07:28 | |
-Virgil has just killed a fly -going past my nose! | 0:07:28 | 0:07:31 | |
-That was Luke's pet -that he brought from Wales. | 0:07:31 | 0:07:35 | |
-That's right. -Well, it's dead now anyway. | 0:07:35 | 0:07:38 | |
-So we're part of the UK. | 0:07:38 | 0:07:41 | |
-KLND is a non-profit station... | 0:07:42 | 0:07:44 | |
-..that broadcasts to a vast area -across North and South Dakota. | 0:07:45 | 0:07:49 | |
-It aims to provide a public service -in Lakota, Dakota and English. | 0:07:49 | 0:07:54 | |
-I broadcast in Lakota mainly -for the elders within our community. | 0:07:55 | 0:08:04 | |
-Lakota is their mother tongue -and they enjoy hearing it spoken. | 0:08:04 | 0:08:10 | |
-The way of life is vital, -so I try to play my part. | 0:08:11 | 0:08:17 | |
-I love our way of life and culture -and I'm trying to educate people. | 0:08:17 | 0:08:25 | |
-The younger generation don't really -try to speak the language any more. | 0:08:25 | 0:08:32 | |
-The tribe's relationship -with the rest of America is strained. | 0:08:36 | 0:08:41 | |
-Some think that the Lakota/Dakota -portray a negative image... | 0:08:41 | 0:08:45 | |
-..while others -don't even know they exist. | 0:08:45 | 0:08:48 | |
-We're not fighting Sioux, -as they try to portray us. | 0:08:48 | 0:08:52 | |
-That's your romantic side of it. | 0:08:52 | 0:08:54 | |
-It's the daily life -that people don't see. | 0:08:55 | 0:08:58 | |
-They only talk about -the Battle of Little Big Horn... | 0:08:58 | 0:09:01 | |
-..the fights we had with the US -government and things like that. | 0:09:02 | 0:09:06 | |
-Good morning out there. | 0:09:07 | 0:09:09 | |
-It's 8.49am in the Central Time Zone -on a Wednesday morning. | 0:09:09 | 0:09:13 | |
-Virgil's a real character. | 0:09:14 | 0:09:16 | |
-He calls himself Virgil the Soulman. | 0:09:16 | 0:09:19 | |
-He starts broadcasting at 6.00am -and doesn't finish until midday. | 0:09:19 | 0:09:26 | |
-That's six hours. -You'd never get that at home. | 0:09:26 | 0:09:30 | |
-He does such important work. | 0:09:30 | 0:09:32 | |
-I've been invited to meet his family, -which is great. | 0:09:33 | 0:09:37 | |
-I'm looking forward to that. | 0:09:37 | 0:09:40 | |
-Life is hard on the streets -of the reservation. | 0:09:45 | 0:09:50 | |
-There is no industry. | 0:09:50 | 0:09:53 | |
-There is 80% unemployment -and many live in poverty. | 0:09:53 | 0:09:57 | |
-There is also -a huge alcohol and drug problem. | 0:09:57 | 0:10:00 | |
-I've just been walking around -Fort Yates... | 0:10:01 | 0:10:04 | |
-..and bumped into a policeman. | 0:10:05 | 0:10:07 | |
-I had an interesting conversation. | 0:10:07 | 0:10:09 | |
-He was from New York. | 0:10:09 | 0:10:11 | |
-I expected a native police force. | 0:10:12 | 0:10:14 | |
-He told me that the alcohol -and drug abuse is such... | 0:10:14 | 0:10:18 | |
-..that 36 police officers at a time -are imported here every month. | 0:10:18 | 0:10:23 | |
-They stay for a month -and then return... | 0:10:23 | 0:10:26 | |
-..to different parts of America -and are replaced by another set. | 0:10:27 | 0:10:32 | |
-I couldn't work out -why there was a police car... | 0:10:32 | 0:10:36 | |
-..on almost every street corner. | 0:10:36 | 0:10:40 | |
-Well, that's the reason. | 0:10:40 | 0:10:42 | |
-There's nothing -for young people to do... | 0:10:42 | 0:10:45 | |
-..so they turn to drugs and alcohol. | 0:10:45 | 0:10:48 | |
-He said it was a huge problem here. | 0:10:48 | 0:10:50 | |
-It's hard to imagine at the moment, -but it's very bad here at night. | 0:10:51 | 0:10:55 | |
-Moments after filming these words, -I got the shock of my life. | 0:10:57 | 0:11:02 | |
-What a stroke of luck! | 0:11:03 | 0:11:05 | |
-I was coming along here -and I saw something. | 0:11:05 | 0:11:08 | |
-It made a noise and I thought, -what on earth is this? | 0:11:08 | 0:11:12 | |
-It's a rattler. A rattlesnake. | 0:11:12 | 0:11:14 | |
-Hello, darling. -Hello, darling. Don't worry. | 0:11:14 | 0:11:18 | |
-Don't worry, I won't harm you. | 0:11:18 | 0:11:21 | |
-Don't worry. | 0:11:21 | 0:11:23 | |
-Notice the tail. | 0:11:23 | 0:11:25 | |
-Her tail's up and her head's back, -ready to pounce. | 0:11:25 | 0:11:30 | |
-Ready to bite. | 0:11:31 | 0:11:33 | |
-It's just a threat. | 0:11:33 | 0:11:35 | |
-If I go a little closer... | 0:11:35 | 0:11:38 | |
-Did you hear the tail? -It started rattling. | 0:11:39 | 0:11:42 | |
-That's a warning to stay away. | 0:11:42 | 0:11:44 | |
-If she bit you... | 0:11:45 | 0:11:46 | |
-..and you weren't treated -in hospital... | 0:11:47 | 0:11:50 | |
-..it could be fatal, especially -for a child or an elderly person. | 0:11:50 | 0:11:55 | |
-Wow, you're a pretty thing. | 0:11:55 | 0:11:57 | |
-I have to admit, -it gave me quite a shock. | 0:11:59 | 0:12:02 | |
-I didn't know what it was. -All I could hear was the rattle. | 0:12:04 | 0:12:08 | |
-That's the closest I've ever come -to being bitten by a rattler. | 0:12:09 | 0:12:13 | |
-I've always wanted to see one, -but maybe not that close! | 0:12:14 | 0:12:18 | |
-Goodness me. | 0:12:18 | 0:12:20 | |
-. | 0:12:24 | 0:12:24 | |
-888 | 0:12:28 | 0:12:28 | |
-888 - -888 | 0:12:28 | 0:12:30 | |
-I'm on a journey -to the world of the Lakota/Dakota. | 0:12:30 | 0:12:33 | |
-I'm in the main town, Fort Yates. | 0:12:34 | 0:12:37 | |
-Heavens above, this place -is teeming with snakes. | 0:12:40 | 0:12:44 | |
-There's another one here, -a mere 10 yards from the other one. | 0:12:44 | 0:12:48 | |
-I don't want it to come to any harm, -so I'm going to use this boom... | 0:12:48 | 0:12:53 | |
-..Luke, the sound man's -microphone, to send it back. | 0:12:53 | 0:12:57 | |
-Go on, girl. | 0:13:00 | 0:13:02 | |
-Come on, sweetheart. Hold on. | 0:13:07 | 0:13:09 | |
-Whoa, whoa, whoa. Here. See it? | 0:13:15 | 0:13:18 | |
-OK? I'm going to send her back. | 0:13:18 | 0:13:22 | |
-No, let's not. It might go into... | 0:13:22 | 0:13:25 | |
-It's a rattler. | 0:13:25 | 0:13:26 | |
-It's a rattler. - -Yes, it's alright. | 0:13:26 | 0:13:27 | |
-Don't kill it, whatever you do. -Well done, he's got a rake. | 0:13:28 | 0:13:32 | |
-Don't kill it. | 0:13:32 | 0:13:34 | |
-Pick it up, Sammy. | 0:13:34 | 0:13:35 | |
-Pick it up, Sammy. - -Cool. Well done, boy. | 0:13:35 | 0:13:37 | |
-Hold it right at the back of its -head if you're going to hold it. | 0:13:40 | 0:13:44 | |
-Don't let it get you, -whatever you do. | 0:13:44 | 0:13:47 | |
-Do you want me to help you? | 0:13:47 | 0:13:50 | |
-You can't do that -because you've got... | 0:13:50 | 0:13:53 | |
-Oh, OK. You've got it? | 0:13:53 | 0:13:56 | |
-You've got your thumb -in between that. | 0:13:56 | 0:13:59 | |
-She'll turn round and get you. | 0:13:59 | 0:14:01 | |
-Be careful because if you -clamp it down, you'll hurt her. | 0:14:01 | 0:14:06 | |
-I think it's the same one. | 0:14:11 | 0:14:13 | |
-Sammy, Sammy, don't let it go. | 0:14:15 | 0:14:16 | |
-Sammy, Sammy, don't let it go. - -That's OK, that's OK, that's OK. | 0:14:16 | 0:14:18 | |
-That's it. | 0:14:19 | 0:14:21 | |
-Can you get it in there, boys? -Lift her in there. | 0:14:21 | 0:14:24 | |
-Yeah, go on. She's in. | 0:14:25 | 0:14:27 | |
-OK. | 0:14:27 | 0:14:29 | |
-OK, hold on. Down, girl. | 0:14:29 | 0:14:32 | |
-Head down, girl. -Come on, sweetheart. | 0:14:35 | 0:14:38 | |
-Stay in there now, girl. | 0:14:38 | 0:14:41 | |
-I'll put her in the back of the -vehicle and take her out of town. | 0:14:42 | 0:14:46 | |
-I'm sure they would have hurt her -in the end, but we'll let her go now. | 0:14:46 | 0:14:51 | |
-Let's hope she's still in the box. | 0:14:51 | 0:14:53 | |
-Ooh, the box has just moved. | 0:14:54 | 0:14:56 | |
-I have to be really careful. | 0:14:57 | 0:14:59 | |
-OK. | 0:14:59 | 0:15:01 | |
-The tripod fell onto the box, -which hasn't helped. | 0:15:08 | 0:15:12 | |
-Be careful. -Don't come too close, just in case. | 0:15:19 | 0:15:23 | |
-Putting her in and getting her out -is the most dangerous part. | 0:15:23 | 0:15:28 | |
-I have to be really careful. | 0:15:29 | 0:15:31 | |
-One. | 0:15:31 | 0:15:33 | |
-That one's off. | 0:15:33 | 0:15:35 | |
-It's a flimsy box and sometimes -they can bite through it. | 0:15:37 | 0:15:41 | |
-I'll lift it like this. | 0:15:41 | 0:15:43 | |
-Is she out? Yes. -There you go, sweetheart. | 0:15:46 | 0:15:49 | |
-Off she goes. | 0:15:49 | 0:15:51 | |
-Stay out of town. Go on. | 0:15:52 | 0:15:54 | |
-Go on. | 0:15:54 | 0:15:56 | |
-What perfect camouflage. | 0:15:56 | 0:15:59 | |
-She's lying there now. -She has plenty of room to hide. | 0:15:59 | 0:16:03 | |
-She's far enough away from the road -and the town. | 0:16:03 | 0:16:07 | |
-She'll be left alone now. | 0:16:07 | 0:16:09 | |
-My journey into the world of the -Lakota/Dakota takes me from town... | 0:16:12 | 0:16:17 | |
-..deep into the countryside. | 0:16:17 | 0:16:19 | |
-I'm on my way to meet a man -called DeLyle Lefthand. | 0:16:20 | 0:16:24 | |
-If you think -that's a strange name... | 0:16:24 | 0:16:28 | |
-..his Lakota name -is Brave Horse Walking Alone. | 0:16:28 | 0:16:32 | |
-What a name! | 0:16:32 | 0:16:34 | |
-He's a horse enthusiast. | 0:16:34 | 0:16:36 | |
-He lives in the middle of nowhere. | 0:16:36 | 0:16:39 | |
-Nothing but grassland -as far as the eye can see. | 0:16:39 | 0:16:42 | |
-We haven't seen a house -for 10 miles. | 0:16:42 | 0:16:45 | |
-What a place to live. | 0:16:45 | 0:16:47 | |
-DeLyle was a rodeo star in his 20s. | 0:16:48 | 0:16:50 | |
-He now runs a ranch, -teaching horse rearing skills. | 0:16:50 | 0:16:53 | |
-As a recovering alcoholic... | 0:16:54 | 0:16:56 | |
-..he has returned to the traditional -way of life to help his sobriety. | 0:16:56 | 0:17:01 | |
-DeLyle? Iolo. | 0:17:03 | 0:17:05 | |
-How are you? Pleased to meet you. | 0:17:06 | 0:17:08 | |
-Thanks for making time for me. | 0:17:08 | 0:17:10 | |
-After tiring -of the white man's way of life... | 0:17:11 | 0:17:14 | |
-..DeLyle has turned back -to the Lakota/Dakota culture. | 0:17:14 | 0:17:18 | |
-I want to try and understand -why he chose the old way of life... | 0:17:18 | 0:17:22 | |
-..and how it has helped him -in the modern world. | 0:17:23 | 0:17:26 | |
-He's rediscovering the language -and the old ways of life. | 0:17:26 | 0:17:30 | |
-Though this is a ranch, -all the horses are wild. | 0:17:30 | 0:17:34 | |
-This horse whisperer -shares his world with the animals. | 0:17:34 | 0:17:38 | |
-He needs a hand -to steer all the horses in... | 0:17:38 | 0:17:42 | |
-..so I have to climb the hill. | 0:17:42 | 0:17:45 | |
-He's going to bring -the horses around. | 0:17:45 | 0:17:48 | |
-On my way, I get a sense -of what lured him back to his roots. | 0:17:49 | 0:17:54 | |
-It doesn't get much better -than this. | 0:17:54 | 0:17:58 | |
-That's the bald eagle, -the national symbol of America. | 0:17:58 | 0:18:03 | |
-When it's in the air, -it looks like a barn door. | 0:18:03 | 0:18:07 | |
-Here he comes. -I'll take you to him. | 0:18:07 | 0:18:10 | |
-Can you see him coming? Here he is. | 0:18:10 | 0:18:12 | |
-Whoa! | 0:18:13 | 0:18:15 | |
-He's going back to his nest. | 0:18:15 | 0:18:17 | |
-Go on, lad. Off he goes. | 0:18:17 | 0:18:20 | |
-Heavens above! | 0:18:20 | 0:18:22 | |
-Have you ever seen such a bird? | 0:18:23 | 0:18:25 | |
-He's huge. -His wingspan is around seven feet. | 0:18:25 | 0:18:30 | |
-He's enormous. | 0:18:30 | 0:18:33 | |
-The horse was adopted -by the Lakota/Dakota... | 0:18:33 | 0:18:37 | |
-..more than two centuries ago. | 0:18:37 | 0:18:39 | |
-Hunting buffalo on foot -was dangerous... | 0:18:40 | 0:18:42 | |
-..so the horse transformed -their lives. | 0:18:43 | 0:18:46 | |
-As a result, the Lakota/Dakota -developed into supreme horsemen. | 0:18:46 | 0:18:51 | |
-You're OK. Some of these horses -have never been touched. | 0:19:01 | 0:19:05 | |
-You can't get wilder horses -than these. | 0:19:11 | 0:19:15 | |
-They could do you a lot of injury. | 0:19:15 | 0:19:18 | |
-He obviously knows what he's doing. | 0:19:18 | 0:19:20 | |
-He's talking to them -and touching them carefully. | 0:19:20 | 0:19:24 | |
-Seeing the control -he has over his horses... | 0:19:24 | 0:19:27 | |
-..makes it hard to imagine DeLyle -being controlled by alcohol. | 0:19:27 | 0:19:31 | |
-I grew up around alcohol, -like so many of us nowadays. | 0:19:32 | 0:19:39 | |
-Some years ago, my brother -was killed by a drunk driver. | 0:19:39 | 0:19:46 | |
-That prompted me to change my ways. -I have to uphold the old beliefs. | 0:19:46 | 0:19:56 | |
-The best way to do this is by -drawing on my affinity with horses. | 0:19:56 | 0:20:05 | |
-Using all his knowledge -and expertise... | 0:20:10 | 0:20:13 | |
-..DeLyle sets about taming -a completely wild horse. | 0:20:14 | 0:20:17 | |
-Then I get him to come -a little closer. | 0:20:20 | 0:20:22 | |
-He's breaking him in very gradually. | 0:20:25 | 0:20:29 | |
-If you get close enough... | 0:20:39 | 0:20:41 | |
-..to at least touch it. | 0:20:41 | 0:20:43 | |
-Oh, yeah, you're OK. | 0:20:46 | 0:20:48 | |
-Yeah. Ho. | 0:20:49 | 0:20:51 | |
-Yeah, you're OK. | 0:20:51 | 0:20:53 | |
-He has worn out the mare. | 0:21:04 | 0:21:07 | |
-She's had enough -of running around and around. | 0:21:08 | 0:21:11 | |
-He's slowly getting closer to her... | 0:21:12 | 0:21:15 | |
-..and gently touching her. | 0:21:16 | 0:21:18 | |
-It's a gradual process... | 0:21:18 | 0:21:22 | |
-..for her to earn his trust... | 0:21:22 | 0:21:25 | |
-..and be at ease with him. | 0:21:25 | 0:21:28 | |
-I enjoy seeing a master at work, -no matter what he does. | 0:21:45 | 0:21:49 | |
-It's wonderful to see someone -so masterful with horses... | 0:21:49 | 0:21:53 | |
-..and to see the process -develop gradually. | 0:21:54 | 0:21:57 | |
-You can see the change in her -in 10 minutes. | 0:22:11 | 0:22:14 | |
-She was a wild horse -running around in circles. | 0:22:14 | 0:22:18 | |
-She's now being led -with a rope around her ears. | 0:22:18 | 0:22:21 | |
-That's remarkable. | 0:22:21 | 0:22:23 | |
-This horse has never been haltered -or saddled before. | 0:22:25 | 0:22:29 | |
-Goodness me. What a sight. | 0:22:32 | 0:22:35 | |
-The sun's going down... | 0:22:36 | 0:22:38 | |
-..and, to some extent, -the wild horse has been tamed. | 0:22:38 | 0:22:42 | |
-It'll be a while -before he'll be able to saddle her. | 0:22:42 | 0:22:46 | |
-That'll take a bit more work -but she's already come on... | 0:22:46 | 0:22:51 | |
-..in less than an hour. | 0:22:51 | 0:22:53 | |
-I've learnt so much from DeLyle -in a day. | 0:22:58 | 0:23:02 | |
-The modern world's frenetic pace -can bring problems in its wake. | 0:23:02 | 0:23:06 | |
-What better way -to solve contemporary problems... | 0:23:07 | 0:23:10 | |
-..than by learning from the past... | 0:23:10 | 0:23:13 | |
-..and emulating the traditional ways -of the tribe? | 0:23:13 | 0:23:17 | |
-Now I understand -why DeLyle was given the name... | 0:23:18 | 0:23:21 | |
-..Brave Horse Walking Alone. | 0:23:22 | 0:23:25 | |
-. | 0:23:25 | 0:23:25 | |

-LEVEL CROSSING BELL RINGS | 0:23:30 | 0:23:32 | |
-TRAIN HORN | 0:23:33 | 0:23:35 | |
-I'm on a journey -to the world of the Lakota/Dakota... | 0:23:39 | 0:23:43 | |
-..on America's Great Plains. | 0:23:43 | 0:23:45 | |
-I've witnessed first hand... | 0:23:46 | 0:23:48 | |
-..their respect -for the sacred buffalo. | 0:23:48 | 0:23:51 | |
-Today, I'm on a different trail. | 0:23:51 | 0:23:54 | |
-I've come to the home of Casper -and his son, Aaron. | 0:23:54 | 0:23:58 | |
-They're both hunters. | 0:23:59 | 0:24:00 | |
-The Lakota/Dakota -were supreme hunters... | 0:24:01 | 0:24:06 | |
-..hunting buffalo and deer. | 0:24:06 | 0:24:09 | |
-I want to find out -how much things have changed. | 0:24:09 | 0:24:12 | |
-This is his house. | 0:24:12 | 0:24:14 | |
-Casper? Pleased to meet you. Iolo. | 0:24:18 | 0:24:21 | |
-Hiya, boy. Are you well? | 0:24:21 | 0:24:23 | |
-Widower Casper lives here -with his two children. | 0:24:23 | 0:24:28 | |
-He earns a living as a hunting guide -for trophy hunters. | 0:24:28 | 0:24:32 | |
-Nowadays, it's all about the horns. | 0:24:32 | 0:24:35 | |
-HE SPEAKS LAKOTA | 0:24:36 | 0:24:38 | |
-So people want to hunt for the horns, -not for the meat any more? | 0:24:39 | 0:24:44 | |
-It's all for sport. | 0:24:44 | 0:24:46 | |
-He has all kinds of rifles -and is obviously an expert hunter. | 0:24:46 | 0:24:50 | |
-If you were going out hunting... | 0:24:51 | 0:24:53 | |
-If you were going out hunting... - -I'd use a bigger gun than this. | 0:24:53 | 0:24:55 | |
-You'd use that? | 0:24:55 | 0:24:56 | |
-You'd use that? - -I'd use a bigger gun. | 0:24:56 | 0:24:58 | |
-You'd use an even bigger gun? Why? -Just in case you found something...? | 0:24:58 | 0:25:03 | |
-No, just to make sure it dies. | 0:25:03 | 0:25:05 | |
-You gotta make sure -you kill it good. | 0:25:05 | 0:25:07 | |
-I don't want to kill any animal. | 0:25:10 | 0:25:12 | |
-But the big man -is keen to take me out shooting. | 0:25:13 | 0:25:16 | |
-Hunters usually pay at least 400 -per head for Casper's expertise. | 0:25:20 | 0:25:25 | |
-On top of that, they must pay -the tribe for a licence. | 0:25:25 | 0:25:29 | |
-Hunting antelope costs 250... | 0:25:30 | 0:25:32 | |
-..and a deer licence 500. | 0:25:33 | 0:25:35 | |
-Hunting the sacred buffalo -can cost as much as 5,000. | 0:25:36 | 0:25:39 | |
-Hunting has always been -a physical pursuit. | 0:25:40 | 0:25:44 | |
-A battle between man and beast. | 0:25:44 | 0:25:46 | |
-These days, it's an unfair contest. | 0:25:47 | 0:25:49 | |
-It's all about pointing a rifle -from the car seat. | 0:25:49 | 0:25:52 | |
-I've followed Casper for a few miles -to this rural location. | 0:25:54 | 0:26:00 | |
-I don't know how many exactly... | 0:26:00 | 0:26:04 | |
-..but there are seven or eight -antelope in the distance. | 0:26:04 | 0:26:10 | |
-What's happening here, Casper? | 0:26:18 | 0:26:21 | |
-Target practice. We're going -to aim for that rock over there. | 0:26:23 | 0:26:28 | |
-He hit a rock some 250 metres away, -if not 300 metres. | 0:26:38 | 0:26:43 | |
-It was quite a shot. | 0:26:43 | 0:26:45 | |
-That was a good shot. | 0:26:46 | 0:26:48 | |
-It was a lucky shot! | 0:26:49 | 0:26:52 | |
-I'm going to give it a go. | 0:26:55 | 0:26:57 | |
-Safety's off. | 0:26:58 | 0:26:59 | |
-Safety's off. - -Then push it all the way forward. | 0:26:59 | 0:27:01 | |
-Right above it. | 0:27:08 | 0:27:09 | |
-Right above it. - -Too high. | 0:27:09 | 0:27:11 | |
-In the old days, -the Lakota hunted for meat. | 0:27:14 | 0:27:17 | |
-They needed meat -and they had to eat. | 0:27:18 | 0:27:20 | |
-They hunted buffalo, deer, -prairie dogs and so on. | 0:27:20 | 0:27:25 | |
-Nowadays, many Lakota lead hunters -to hunt for trophy heads. | 0:27:25 | 0:27:31 | |
-How do you feel about that? | 0:27:32 | 0:27:34 | |
-It's somewhat of an income. | 0:27:35 | 0:27:37 | |
-There's no work for us these days. | 0:27:38 | 0:27:43 | |
-People know the land like the back -of their hand and know how to hunt. | 0:27:44 | 0:27:48 | |
-They're using their skills -to earn a living. | 0:27:48 | 0:27:53 | |
-I'm determined to have another go -at that rock. | 0:27:54 | 0:27:57 | |
-Go ahead. | 0:27:58 | 0:27:59 | |
-Right, Iol. | 0:28:06 | 0:28:08 | |
-Exhale now. | 0:28:08 | 0:28:10 | |
-You got it. | 0:28:18 | 0:28:20 | |
-What's my name now? | 0:28:22 | 0:28:23 | |
-What's my name now? - -Wataya. | 0:28:23 | 0:28:25 | |
-That means hits? | 0:28:25 | 0:28:26 | |
-That means hits? - -Yes. | 0:28:26 | 0:28:27 | |
-Hey, I'm a proper warrior now. | 0:28:28 | 0:28:30 | |
-Wataya Iolo. | 0:28:30 | 0:28:32 | |
-Just as the horse -simplified the art of hunting... | 0:28:41 | 0:28:45 | |
-..the introduction of the rifle -has simplified killing animals. | 0:28:46 | 0:28:51 | |
-I can imagine seeing hundreds -of buffalo from up here. | 0:28:58 | 0:29:02 | |
-Have you shot one? | 0:29:02 | 0:29:03 | |
-I've shot two buffalo in my time. | 0:29:04 | 0:29:08 | |
-Did you perform any kind of ceremony -when you shot it? | 0:29:08 | 0:29:12 | |
-No, because nobody -has ever shown me how to. | 0:29:13 | 0:29:16 | |
-But I have respect for the animal. | 0:29:16 | 0:29:20 | |
-All the meat was eaten -and I used every bit of the buffalo. | 0:29:20 | 0:29:24 | |
-Though he hunts for money, he shows -no malice nor contempt for his prey. | 0:29:25 | 0:29:30 | |
-There's no denying his love -for his land. | 0:29:30 | 0:29:33 | |
-I was brought up on this land. -I moved away to Canada. | 0:29:34 | 0:29:40 | |
-But I came back. -This place is in my blood. | 0:29:40 | 0:29:47 | |
-Perhaps for the very first time... | 0:29:54 | 0:29:57 | |
-..I feel as if someone's -actually given me the real truth. | 0:29:57 | 0:30:02 | |
-The whole picture, -not a romantic notion of the buffalo. | 0:30:02 | 0:30:08 | |
-Yes, it was once vital to the tribe, -but as he said... | 0:30:08 | 0:30:13 | |
-..nowadays it's meat, -just like any other animal. | 0:30:13 | 0:30:19 | |
-It's a way of life. | 0:30:19 | 0:30:21 | |
-It's a way of earning a living -and providing for the family. | 0:30:21 | 0:30:25 | |
-He doesn't pray -for the animals' spirits... | 0:30:25 | 0:30:29 | |
-..because they're just animals. | 0:30:30 | 0:30:32 | |
-He was never taught to do that. | 0:30:32 | 0:30:34 | |
-Many of the old traditions... | 0:30:35 | 0:30:38 | |
-..among the ordinary folk... | 0:30:38 | 0:30:41 | |
-..have died out. | 0:30:41 | 0:30:43 | |
-I think we've heard the real truth -from Casper for the first time. | 0:30:43 | 0:30:49 | |
-As the sun set over the prairie... | 0:30:50 | 0:30:53 | |
-..it was time for me -to leave the modern hunter... | 0:30:53 | 0:30:57 | |
-..who had been so honest with me. | 0:30:57 | 0:31:00 | |
-Today, I'm spending the day -with DJ Virgil Soulman's family. | 0:31:10 | 0:31:14 | |
-I want to see what everyday life -is like in the Taken Alive household. | 0:31:14 | 0:31:19 | |
-In the past, communities -would have lived in tepees... | 0:31:20 | 0:31:24 | |
-..and followed the buffalo -across the plains. | 0:31:24 | 0:31:27 | |
-Today, there are permanent houses -and cars have replaced horses. | 0:31:27 | 0:31:32 | |
-I've been shopping so that I could -bring them some food. | 0:31:33 | 0:31:37 | |
-I've got some food for you here. | 0:31:37 | 0:31:40 | |
-This is my sister right here. | 0:31:40 | 0:31:42 | |
-Lovely to meet you. | 0:31:43 | 0:31:46 | |
-With Virgil still on the air, -I enjoy an American breakfast. | 0:31:46 | 0:31:50 | |
-Powdered egg, pancakes and sausages, -washed down with traditional tea. | 0:31:50 | 0:31:56 | |
-This is chiaka. | 0:31:56 | 0:31:58 | |
-This is something -you pick out in the field? | 0:31:58 | 0:32:01 | |
-Smell it. It smells really good. | 0:32:01 | 0:32:04 | |
-Iechyd da. | 0:32:04 | 0:32:07 | |
-Iechyd da. | 0:32:07 | 0:32:08 | |
-Iechyd da. | 0:32:08 | 0:32:09 | |
-Iechyd da. - -That means good health. | 0:32:09 | 0:32:11 | |
-Thanks. Same to you. | 0:32:11 | 0:32:13 | |
-Where are we going? -Up the top of the hill? | 0:32:19 | 0:32:22 | |
-After our American breakfast... | 0:32:22 | 0:32:25 | |
-..we go out in search -of more traditional food... | 0:32:25 | 0:32:29 | |
-..such as the prairie turnip. | 0:32:29 | 0:32:31 | |
-It's refreshing to see -an old tradition continuing. | 0:32:43 | 0:32:48 | |
-They still eat this food. | 0:32:48 | 0:32:52 | |
-Food which is wild and free. | 0:32:52 | 0:32:55 | |
-But more importantly -for the Lakota/Dakota today... | 0:32:55 | 0:32:59 | |
-..a healthy and nutritious staple. | 0:32:59 | 0:33:02 | |
-They eat so much junk. | 0:33:02 | 0:33:04 | |
-They themselves admit -that obesity and diabetes... | 0:33:04 | 0:33:09 | |
-..are huge problems -within the tribe. | 0:33:09 | 0:33:13 | |
-If more of them did some exercise -and ate healthy food... | 0:33:13 | 0:33:18 | |
-..it would benefit them greatly. | 0:33:18 | 0:33:20 | |
-Without the know-how -passed down the generations... | 0:33:23 | 0:33:29 | |
-..you'd never know -that this food existed. | 0:33:29 | 0:33:32 | |
-Oh, OK. | 0:33:33 | 0:33:35 | |
-It pops out like a nut. | 0:33:40 | 0:33:42 | |
-You can taste that. | 0:33:42 | 0:33:44 | |
-Just crunch on it. | 0:33:46 | 0:33:49 | |
-It's very tasty. | 0:33:49 | 0:33:51 | |
-This would have been vital -for them years ago. | 0:33:53 | 0:33:56 | |
-You have some. | 0:33:56 | 0:33:58 | |
-If they went hunting for buffalo, -they made sure that they hunted... | 0:33:58 | 0:34:03 | |
-..in areas -where these grew in abundance. | 0:34:03 | 0:34:06 | |
-They knew that if they were gone -for two or three days at a time... | 0:34:07 | 0:34:11 | |
-..they'd have enough food. | 0:34:11 | 0:34:13 | |
-This plant has been -as important to them as the buffalo. | 0:34:14 | 0:34:19 | |
-Eat it up, lad. | 0:34:19 | 0:34:21 | |
-You eat it. -Nice? It's nice, isn't it? | 0:34:21 | 0:34:24 | |
-The traditional diet of buffalo meat -and seasonal vegetables was healthy. | 0:34:30 | 0:34:36 | |
-But a diet high in salt, -fat and sugar... | 0:34:36 | 0:34:40 | |
-..has become the silent killer. | 0:34:40 | 0:34:43 | |
-Diabetes is twice as prevalent -in the tribe... | 0:34:43 | 0:34:46 | |
-..as in the rest of America. | 0:34:47 | 0:34:49 | |
-One in eight Lakota/Dakota -is now diabetic. | 0:34:49 | 0:34:53 | |
-It's sad that the younger generation -has lost that ancient information. | 0:34:57 | 0:35:02 | |
-They have fallen prey -to modern America's poison. | 0:35:02 | 0:35:07 | |
-Virgil is back from another -broadcasting marathon. | 0:35:16 | 0:35:20 | |
-It's meal time once again -and the cookout is a chance... | 0:35:20 | 0:35:24 | |
-..to spend time -with the older members. | 0:35:25 | 0:35:27 | |
-WOMAN PRAYS IN LAKOTA | 0:35:28 | 0:35:30 | |
-THEY ALL SPEAK LAKOTA | 0:35:45 | 0:35:47 | |
-Despite all the children -speaking only English... | 0:35:49 | 0:35:52 | |
-..the older generation -chat in their mother tongue. | 0:35:53 | 0:35:56 | |
-The family gets together at every -celebration and laughs and jokes. | 0:35:56 | 0:36:03 | |
-It's a rare opportunity for us -to chat like we did as children. | 0:36:03 | 0:36:12 | |
-I have to speak Lakota to you. -Do you understand? | 0:36:19 | 0:36:22 | |
-I understand every word of Lakota. | 0:36:22 | 0:36:25 | |
-Virgil has been giving me lessons. | 0:36:25 | 0:36:28 | |
-It's nice to see Virgil's enthusiasm -for the past. | 0:36:32 | 0:36:37 | |
-When you were little, when did you -hear English for the first time? | 0:36:37 | 0:36:44 | |
-Everybody spoke Lakota -when I was small. | 0:36:45 | 0:36:49 | |
-I was afraid to go to school because -I didn't understand the teacher. | 0:36:49 | 0:36:56 | |
-My first words in English were... | 0:36:56 | 0:36:58 | |
-..I want to go to bathroom! | 0:36:59 | 0:37:01 | |
-That was the beginning of the end -for Lakota as an everyday language. | 0:37:03 | 0:37:09 | |
-During the meal, -the conversation turns to religion. | 0:37:11 | 0:37:15 | |
-Incredibly, -in the Land of the Free... | 0:37:15 | 0:37:18 | |
-..the Lakota/Dakota religion -was forbidden until 1978. | 0:37:18 | 0:37:23 | |
-People were turning to Christianity -when I was a child. | 0:37:23 | 0:37:29 | |
-My grandfather spoke no English... | 0:37:30 | 0:37:32 | |
-..and he still took part -in Indian ceremonies. | 0:37:32 | 0:37:36 | |
-He had a sweat lodge, but I was -prevented from learning about it. | 0:37:36 | 0:37:43 | |
-As the thunder interrupts -the grandmother's words... | 0:37:43 | 0:37:47 | |
-..it's time for me to leave. | 0:37:47 | 0:37:50 | |
-It's obvious -that the Big Sky's inhabitants... | 0:37:50 | 0:37:53 | |
-..are used to seeing storm clouds -on the horizon. | 0:37:54 | 0:37:57 | |
-The weather changes quickly -in this country. | 0:37:57 | 0:38:01 | |
-Soon, a rainbow appeared -to guide me on my way. | 0:38:01 | 0:38:05 | |
-. | 0:38:14 | 0:38:14 | |
-888 | 0:38:17 | 0:38:17 | |
-888 - -888 | 0:38:17 | 0:38:19 | |
-My journey into the world -of the Lakota/Dakota intensifies. | 0:38:23 | 0:38:27 | |
-I've discovered -that their religion has survived. | 0:38:27 | 0:38:31 | |
-Their ceremonies are a complex -combination of fasting... | 0:38:31 | 0:38:35 | |
-..and physical sacrifices. | 0:38:35 | 0:38:37 | |
-The buffalo is a significant part -of the ceremonies. | 0:38:38 | 0:38:42 | |
-Where once they roamed free -on the prairie... | 0:38:42 | 0:38:46 | |
-..they are now fenced in. | 0:38:46 | 0:38:48 | |
-Tribe wise man John Buckley... | 0:38:48 | 0:38:50 | |
-..explains more about their -relationship with the buffalo. | 0:38:51 | 0:38:55 | |
-My Indian name -is Walking With Buffalo. | 0:38:55 | 0:38:58 | |
-I see the buffalo as my family and -I'll follow them as long as I live. | 0:38:58 | 0:39:04 | |
-Sometimes I watch them -and marvel at how sacred they are. | 0:39:08 | 0:39:13 | |
-The Buffalo people... | 0:39:13 | 0:39:15 | |
-..and the Lakota people, -Dakota people... | 0:39:16 | 0:39:19 | |
-..they're one people. | 0:39:20 | 0:39:22 | |
-We all come from the same place. | 0:39:24 | 0:39:27 | |
-We come from under the ground. | 0:39:27 | 0:39:29 | |
-According to the legend -of the Creator... | 0:39:29 | 0:39:32 | |
-..the tribe's soul -ascended from the underworld. | 0:39:32 | 0:39:36 | |
-Some took the form of people, -others the form of buffalo... | 0:39:36 | 0:39:40 | |
-..as sacrificial food -for the tribe. | 0:39:40 | 0:39:43 | |
-# Our buffalo -are standing strong here | 0:39:44 | 0:39:51 | |
-# Listen to their wisdom and obey | 0:39:51 | 0:40:01 | |
-# Sacred are our brothers' souls # | 0:40:01 | 0:40:10 | |
-Was that good? | 0:40:10 | 0:40:11 | |
-Was that good? - -Good voice, yeah. Very good voice. | 0:40:11 | 0:40:14 | |
-I didn't understand this love... | 0:40:17 | 0:40:21 | |
-..that the Lakota/Dakota -had for the buffalo until now. | 0:40:21 | 0:40:25 | |
-I always thought that it was... | 0:40:25 | 0:40:28 | |
-..because they had lived -alongside them for centuries... | 0:40:28 | 0:40:32 | |
-..and the fact that they were -wholly dependent on the buffalo... | 0:40:32 | 0:40:36 | |
-..for food, clothes -and materials for the tepees. | 0:40:36 | 0:40:41 | |
-But I now realize -that it goes much deeper than that. | 0:40:41 | 0:40:45 | |
-They truly believe... | 0:40:45 | 0:40:48 | |
-..that the buffalo and the people -have come from the same place. | 0:40:48 | 0:40:52 | |
-That they are more or less -the same entity. | 0:40:53 | 0:40:56 | |
-I can only imagine -what they must have felt... | 0:40:56 | 0:40:59 | |
-..when the white man came -and decimated the buffalo... | 0:40:59 | 0:41:03 | |
-..in their millions. | 0:41:03 | 0:41:05 | |
-It must have hurt much more... | 0:41:05 | 0:41:08 | |
-..than merely losing -their food supply or their clothes. | 0:41:08 | 0:41:12 | |
-It was something far more spiritual. | 0:41:13 | 0:41:15 | |
-They were losing their brothers -and sisters. | 0:41:15 | 0:41:19 | |
-It's tragic. It really is. | 0:41:20 | 0:41:22 | |
-The tribe needs to kill a buffalo. | 0:41:34 | 0:41:36 | |
-Today, instead of protecting them, -warden Mike will hunt them. | 0:41:39 | 0:41:44 | |
-If I hit him good enough, -it'll hit him right in the brain. | 0:41:44 | 0:41:48 | |
-It'll be an instant death. | 0:41:48 | 0:41:50 | |
-Mike's knowledge and expertise -are essential... | 0:41:50 | 0:41:55 | |
-..when it comes to shooting. | 0:41:55 | 0:41:57 | |
-It's important that the animal -doesn't suffer needlessly. | 0:41:58 | 0:42:01 | |
-Because the animals are so sacred, -when it's necessary to hunt... | 0:42:01 | 0:42:06 | |
-..a ceremony is performed... | 0:42:07 | 0:42:09 | |
-..to release the animal's soul -back to the Creator. | 0:42:09 | 0:42:13 | |
-A local teacher called Curtis -joins us to perform the ceremony. | 0:42:13 | 0:42:17 | |
-If they shoot a buffalo today... | 0:42:18 | 0:42:20 | |
-..what kind of ceremony -will you perform? | 0:42:21 | 0:42:24 | |
-Once the animal has been shot... | 0:42:24 | 0:42:26 | |
-..I'll put sage in its mouth -and cover its body in tobacco. | 0:42:27 | 0:42:32 | |
-The buffalo dies -so that we may live... | 0:42:32 | 0:42:35 | |
-..so hunting for fun -is abhorrent to us. | 0:42:35 | 0:42:39 | |
-Trophy hunters are deeply sinful -because they murder our brothers. | 0:42:39 | 0:42:46 | |
-This must be a difficult thing -for them to do. | 0:42:55 | 0:42:59 | |
-But they're also -very professional men. | 0:42:59 | 0:43:03 | |
-Once they're given the order -to kill the buffalo... | 0:43:03 | 0:43:08 | |
-..they realize -that they have to do it. | 0:43:08 | 0:43:12 | |
-But they're spiritual people. | 0:43:12 | 0:43:16 | |
-They must feel an element -of sadness, if that's the word... | 0:43:16 | 0:43:21 | |
-..when their brother or sister -is killed. | 0:43:21 | 0:43:25 | |
-It must be odd for them. | 0:43:25 | 0:43:28 | |
-There are the buffalo. -Can you see them on that hilltop? | 0:43:37 | 0:43:41 | |
-I'd say there are more -on the other side. | 0:43:42 | 0:43:45 | |
-Mike's looking -through his binoculars... | 0:43:45 | 0:43:49 | |
-..to find a suitable one. | 0:43:49 | 0:43:52 | |
-They have to choose -the right animal. | 0:43:53 | 0:43:55 | |
-They don't want a bull in his prime. | 0:43:55 | 0:43:59 | |
-Neither do they want a female -because they have small calves. | 0:43:59 | 0:44:05 | |
-If they can't find a suitable one, -they won't kill. | 0:44:06 | 0:44:09 | |
-They have to be very selective. | 0:44:09 | 0:44:12 | |
-Mike's aiming his rifle over there. | 0:44:19 | 0:44:22 | |
-I don't know if he's just focusing. | 0:44:23 | 0:44:25 | |
-We'll soon see. | 0:44:25 | 0:44:27 | |
-He's going to shoot. | 0:44:27 | 0:44:29 | |
-Nothing suitable there, Mike? | 0:44:50 | 0:44:52 | |
-All I really got -is this big bull here. | 0:44:53 | 0:44:55 | |
-I don't want to take him. | 0:44:55 | 0:44:57 | |
-It's got to be the right one. | 0:44:58 | 0:45:00 | |
-Yes, the right size and age. | 0:45:00 | 0:45:02 | |
-They've decided that there's nothing -suitable here for them today. | 0:45:02 | 0:45:08 | |
-Instead, they're taking me up -to that hill in the distance... | 0:45:08 | 0:45:13 | |
-..for me to see the view from there. | 0:45:13 | 0:45:16 | |
-I don't mind seeing animals killed -for the right reasons... | 0:45:16 | 0:45:20 | |
-..but I'm glad -because they're splendid creatures. | 0:45:21 | 0:45:25 | |
-I wouldn't want to see -any of them killed. | 0:45:25 | 0:45:28 | |
-As I take in -the breathtaking views... | 0:45:50 | 0:45:53 | |
-..I can see why the men -have brought me here. | 0:45:53 | 0:45:56 | |
-I look out over the Great Plains... | 0:45:57 | 0:45:59 | |
-..in all their glory. | 0:45:59 | 0:46:01 | |
-Is it fair to say... | 0:46:02 | 0:46:04 | |
-..that the Lakota/Dakota's fate -and the buffalo's fate is entwined? | 0:46:05 | 0:46:10 | |
-Though our special relationship -continues, our future is uncertain. | 0:46:11 | 0:46:19 | |
-Nobody knows whether we'll survive. | 0:46:19 | 0:46:25 | |
-An old man once told me... | 0:46:26 | 0:46:31 | |
-.."You worry about today, -you live for today... | 0:46:33 | 0:46:36 | |
-"..and tomorrow, if you wake up... | 0:46:36 | 0:46:39 | |
-"..then you appreciate that day -and you live for that day." | 0:46:39 | 0:46:43 | |
-He has encapsulated everything -that I've learnt about the people. | 0:46:48 | 0:46:53 | |
-They still perform ceremonies -such as the sun dance and so on... | 0:46:54 | 0:47:00 | |
-..but the language is disappearing. | 0:47:00 | 0:47:03 | |
-Nobody under the age of 50 -is fluent. | 0:47:03 | 0:47:06 | |
-So what's going to happen -in the future? | 0:47:06 | 0:47:09 | |
-As Curtis said, we just don't know. | 0:47:09 | 0:47:12 | |
-But it's nice to dream sometimes. | 0:47:12 | 0:47:15 | |
-Imagine looking out -over the plains... | 0:47:15 | 0:47:19 | |
-..and seeing tepees in the distance. | 0:47:19 | 0:47:22 | |
-More than that... | 0:47:22 | 0:47:24 | |
-..from this rock here -as far as the horizon... | 0:47:24 | 0:47:28 | |
-..seeing the place -overrun with buffalo. | 0:47:28 | 0:47:31 | |
-That would be amazing. | 0:47:31 | 0:47:33 | |
