Editor’s note: We again interupt the four-part series by Birk Bezemer on money operations. Part 3 will be in this spot next week.
Econintersect: This week the documentary has two parts. The first part is a 2010 Ted Talk by photographer Aaron Huey which gives a factual history of the Oglala Lakota Sioux as a part of the United States. The Ted Talk tries to finish the presentation with an appeal for action. The second part is a 2012 short film by Eric Becker featuring the same Aaron Huey. The Becker film is an effective documentary for the present reality of the Oglala Lakota nation and a much more effective call for action. Each of these videos is approximately 15 minutes in length.
Visit National Geographic for maps of the shrinking Ogala Lakota Sioux Nation.
Hat tips to Roger Erickson and Wyatt Close, Upworthy.
