Do you live near any of the Indian reservations mentioned in your video? I was born in SD and adopted to white parents. I'm a member of the Lakota Sioux Nation. I'm intimately aware of the hardships facing Native American people and have seen both sides of it.
Native American children were effectively kidnapped from their families well into the 1970s. To imply the suffering, segregation, and racism ceased 160 years ago shows how entirely misinformed the general populace is. Wounded Knee was only 110 years ago.
The implication that their poverty is self-inflicted is a massive exercise in reductionism, and completely neglects to mention the hardships that manifest in these areas exclusively due to the inaccuracies you're spouting.
