The American Buffalo:
#SittingBull and the #WoundedKneeMassacre

Clip: 10/17/2023

"U.S. concern over a new #GhostDance ceremony prompted the arrest of the #Lakota #ChiefSittingBull. Dozens ended up dead, including Sitting Bull. Several hundred Lakotas headed toward the #BlackHills to end things peaceably with the #USArmy. En route, they camped at a creek called #WoundedKnee. The next morning, more than 250 Lakotas – mostly #women and #children – were killed by #US soldiers."

"The #GhostDance was not a monolithic movement, but an accumulation of prior anti-colonial experiences, sentiments, and struggles that informed #NoDAPL. Each struggle had adopted essential features of previous traditions of #Indigenous resistance, while creating new tactics and visions to address the present reality, and, consequently, projected Indigenous liberation into the future."

@PariaSansPortefeuille "During the late 1880s—disarmed, hungry, horseless, confined to concentration camps, the #buffalo nearly exterminated, their land broken up and taken, and their children stolen from them—a new political movement spread like prairie fire across the West, promising Indigenous rebirth. #Wovoka, a #Paiute holy man, had a vision that assured the restoration of #IndigenousPeoples to their rightful place in a world taken from them. According to him, dead relatives and the buffalo nations would once again walk the earth. The #GhostDance prophecy envisioned the end of the present world through the #settlers’ erasure from the earth, and the return of human and nonhuman relations that had been vanquished by #colonialism. It was foretold that, at some unspecified time in the near future, a cataclysmic event—such as an earthquake or whirlwind—would wipe the United States off the surface of the earth. Once the land was cleansed, life would be free of disease and colonialism, and correct relations among human and nonhuman worlds would be restored."

New Books in the American West - Nick Estes, "Our History is the Future: Standing Rock Versus the Dakota Access Pipeline" (Verso, 2019)

The historian Nick Estes traces two centuries of Indigenous-led resistance and anti-colonial struggle. Our History is the Future: Standing Rock Versus the Dakota Access Pipeline, and the Long Tradition of Indigenous Resistance (Verso, 2019) moves from settler colonialism and Indian Wars to the front lines of indigenous climate activism today. He places the #NoDAPL movement, to block Dakota Access oil pipeline at the Standing Rock Reservation in North Dakota in 2016, squarely within the tradition of indigenous resistance to settler erasure. The book weaves historical analysis into intergenerational stories and demonstrates that Standing Rock’s demands for native sovereignty and liberation are as much the outcome of history as they a harbinger of things to come. Ryan Driskell Tate is a Ph.D. candidate in American history at Rutgers University. He teaches courses on modern United States history, environmental history, and histories of labor and capitalism. He is completing a book on ene…
