Billions spent on weapons to kill people instead of keeping them safe.” (Ban Ki-Moon) The human rights issue addressed in this quote is one that the whole world is facing and has been facing for millennia.

It takes 2 months of detox eating to get his liver and cholesterol back to normal function. My take from this movie?

The “Trial of Thomas Builds-the-Fire”, begins with Thomas in the tribal holding cell and the BIA officials talking about how dangerous he is because he is a storyteller who has an extreme need to tell the truth. Thomas didn’t speak for twenty years after he promised to remain silent when he was held for holding the reservation postmaster, Eve Ford hostage. He then begins to make noises and the tribal chairman’s wife leaves her husband after she heard Thomas speak and he was arrested the next day. When the trial begins he tells the story of how he was a pony in war and fought the whites after they killed over 800 horses. Thomas was one of the only ones to survive and decides to go fight the whites after he sees his fellow brother and sisters wanting to admit defeat.

When they suffer from being traumatized during the war, and when they are still in combat, little help is made available to the soldiers and they are soon pushed back into the war before they have the chance to fully heal. When a soldier returns home with PTSD they have the inability to turn the switch from soldier to a regular citizen. They can return with depression and anxiety because they can feel like there is a complete lack of safety for them and their family. Soldiers have a hard time integrating
I A “Some of you young men think that war is all glamor and glory, but let me tell you, boys, it is all hell”, those were the words of Genn. William Sherman on regards to the civil war. Fast forward three centuries later, war is still all hell. Its mechanics all stay the same- men killing men with whatever means necessary.
