Depp Wants to Buy Wounded Knee & Return It to Indians
Posted: Thu Jul 11, 2013 10:20 am
Such is Depp’s commitment to the Native American cause, he is planning to spend millions of his own money to return land, Wounded Knee, in South Dakota, to their ownership. The site, the scene of an 1890 massacre, is up for sale for $3.9 million.
Depp said, “It’s very sacred ground and many atrocities were committed against the Sioux there. And in the 1970s there was a stand-off between the Feds (Federal government) and the people who should own that land. This historical land is so important to the Sioux culture and all I want to do is buy it and give it back. Why doesn’t the government do that?” ”I am doing my best to make that happen. It’s land they were pushed on to and then they were massacred there. It really saddens me.”
I hope he is able to do it andIhope the native american media stop ridiculinghim for portraying a native american on film as racist. The guy has proven time and again that his role as tanto had deeply affected him, he was adopted by the commanche nation as an honorary commanche and made an appearence at the natons largest pow wow. He is not racist against Indians, he loves you guys and you need to embrace him and accept him as a white speaker or your cause.
Good luck Johnny - Mort (and everyone else)
