In 1855, my Gx5-Grandfather Major Thomas Sanders Twiss a Graduate from West Point was dispatched to the Dakota’s to investigate Indians were attacking & killing the mail carriers. Twiss concluded his report with the assertion:
1/4
"The Sioux difficulties have been magnified by false and malicious reports. There is not, as I can find, within this Agency, a hostile Indian. On the contrary, all are friendly."
2/4
The people who attacked mail carriers were most likely the grey men, with the discovery of gold in the 1850's these groups of white men were sent out to cause conflict so the Gov would send
3/4
troops to attack the local Indigenous Tribes and demonize the locals with their lies.

Land Back is correcting History with the Truth of what the Indigenous Nations had experienced as a result of "Colonization"
4/4

The Great Spirit gathered all of Creation and said:
"I want to hide something from the humans until
they are ready for it.

It is the realization that they create their own reality
and are every part of this existence that created it."
The Eagle said: " Give it to me, I will take it to the Moon."
The Great Spirit said:" No one day they will go there and
find it."

The Salmon said: " I will bury it on the bottom of the ocean."
"No, said the Great Spirit, they will go there too."
The Buffalo said: "I will bury it on the Great Plains."
The Great Spirit said: "They will cut into the skin of
the earth and find it even there."

Survivors of Woundedknee Massacre- Dec 29, 1890

In 1890 John Langan was freighting for the US Army at Fort Randall when the Massacre at Wounded Knee was inflicted upon defenseless unarmed Minneconjous by the Seventh Calvary

His wagon had been assigned to the Ambulance Corps to
bring back the wounded soldiers,but when he arrived, he viewed the almost total decimation of Minneconjous, including Women & Children

He therefore withdrew his wagon from the Army and helped the few Minneconjou who remained alive to bring their dead & dying to Pine Ridge Agency
At Pine Ridge the Episcopal Mission gave them shelter Dec 29, 1890. The pews were removed and a bed of straw was made for the wounded (This Picture was the original church)

This life changing event led to John giving everything up so he could help Big foots Survivors.
