Veterans Ask for Forgiveness at Standing Rock

Published on Dec 6, 2016

An incredible moment of healing at Standing Rock: Hundreds of veterans ask Native elders for forgiveness.
"We fought you.
We took your land.
We signed treaties that we broke.
We stole minerals from your sacred hills.
We blasted the faces of our presidents onto your sacred mountain...
We didn’t respect you, we polluted your Earth, we’ve hurt you in so many ways but we’ve come to say that we are sorry.
We are at your service and we beg for your forgiveness." -
