Russell Means: Welcome To The Reservation
“Means warns that Americans have lost the ability of critical thought, and with each successive generation become more irresponsible and as a consequence less free, disregarding a near-perfect document, the Constitution, which was derived from Indian law.”

Means declares, “I tell the truth, and I expose myself as a weak, misguided, misdirected, dysfunctional human being.”
“Anybody born in the Western Hemisphere is a native American.”
“If you have local control of the economics, local control of the food stuffs, local control of transportation, you have freedom.”
“The United States is one big reservation, and we are all in it.
“I fault the American people for not being alert to [guard] their own freedom…and to value those freedoms.”
“To wrest control of the Federal Reserve will take, I’m sorry to say, a revolution.”
“Culture is about values. Anybody who says anything different is a Democrat. Or a Republican.”
On our education system and mass media:
“They’re not educating anybody now. They’re dumbing-down. It’s Indian education now.”
“Information deprivation has led to the dumbing-down of America.”
“Television is the training ground for subsequent generations to have the attention span of a gnat.”
It [television] is like mass hypnosis.”
On pharmaceuticals, vaccines, and the food supply:
“They advertize these drugs as lethal, and people still buy them. What happened to their brains?”
“America is becoming one huge sick society.”
“They are destroying the food supply. How does it feel?”
On Natural Law:
“We human beings don’t want to be eaten. That’s natural law!”
His final words are directed to every citizen of this once proud, but seriously declining nation:
“America is no different than this Indian reservation [Pine Ridge]. You’re dependent on the Government now, and you’re getting what you deserve. But this land is beautiful. It’s worth fighting for.”
