Thank you, Comrade Peter. This video made me cry a few times, especially the "beat our languages out of us" because it brought up historical trauma. It's something Koreans can relate to when it comes to the Japanese occupation of the peninsula. They banned use of the Korean language, forced Koreans to adopt Japanese names, made Koreans do forced labor, Koreans became tenants of Japanese landowners on Korean soil, and Japanese soldiers took Korean women as comfort women with them. Japan has swept our struggle under the rug, so we relate to the Native Americans and their struggles. But this made my heart smile. This was a great learning experience and Roger was certainly a treat!
Seeing the Pizza Hut and coffee/donut shop and knowing how their diet used to be is just sad because this change of their diet is one of the problems of the reservation (and the US in general). It reminds me of Nauru. Nauruans used to have a lot of farming but because of focusing on phosphate mining (which made them the richest in the 80s), that made most of the island non-arable. And when that industry collapsed, they started relying on Australian aid and whatever canned goods they can get from shipments at their only airport, which changed their diet completely. And they now have the highest rates of type 2. Westernization has and continues to destroy cultures.
