Wahchitchu: One who takes the best meat for himself

Aaron Huey's effort to photograph poverty in America led him to the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, where the struggle of the native Lakota people -- appalling, and largely ignored -- compelled him to refocus. Five years of work later, his haunting photos intertwine with a shocking history lesson in this bold, courageous talk from TEDxDU.



Here is American History that exposes the genocide against the Lakota, and by extension all indigenous peoples in this country. This is a powerful 15 minute talk about the events that have led to present day reality for the Lakota.
