Demonstrations
Two protestors in warm clothing stand in the center of the photograph, holding signs that read "Chunksa Yuha Is Not Our Messanger," and "Hell No Hanta Yo Is Not Our "Roots."" The signs are in protest of a TV movie from 1984 called "The Mystic Warrior," based off the 1979 novel "Hanta Yo" by Ruth Beebe Hill. Both fictions covered the histories of the Oglala Lakota Sioux, but the author was accused by many Indigenous historians and activists of falsely portraying Indigenous Americans for personal gain (The Mystic Warrior IMDb).
