Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:02:08,212 --> 00:02:09,964
Yes, sir.
Look right!
2
00:02:14,218 --> 00:02:16,887
- Go, go, go!
- Yeah! All right!
3
00:02:20,808 --> 00:02:21,976
Well, Jake.
4
00:02:24,770 --> 00:02:26,438
What do you make of it?
5
00:02:28,065 --> 00:02:30,151
It's an Indian sacred place.
6
00:02:31,610 --> 00:02:32,778
Like a church.
7
00:02:36,365 --> 00:02:37,825
The hell you say.
8
00:02:37,992 --> 00:02:39,994
You may tell your readers, gentlemen,
9
00:02:40,161 --> 00:02:42,538
that this expedition
has thus far exceeded
10
00:02:42,705 --> 00:02:44,790
my most sanguine expectations.
11
00:02:45,291 --> 00:02:47,835
We have discovered
a rich and beautiful country,
12
00:02:48,627 --> 00:02:51,088
abundant game, fertile land.
13
00:02:51,255 --> 00:02:55,384
In short, all the bounties necessary
for the establishment of civilization.
14
00:02:55,551 --> 00:02:58,888
The Laramie Treaty of '68
made this Indian land, General Custer.
15
00:02:59,054 --> 00:03:01,849
Part of the Great Sioux Reservation?
16
00:03:02,016 --> 00:03:05,227
Now, the Sioux, they may not
take too kindly to trespassers.
17
00:03:06,478 --> 00:03:09,398
I shall recommend
the extinguishment of Indian title
18
00:03:09,565 --> 00:03:13,569
at the earliest moment practicable
for military purposes.
19
00:03:13,736 --> 00:03:16,280
If Congress should support
20
00:03:16,447 --> 00:03:18,616
the settlement of the Black Hills,
21
00:03:19,783 --> 00:03:22,953
rest assured,
the Army will do its duty.
22
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:26,165
Gold!
23
00:03:28,500 --> 00:03:30,961
Gold! Gold!
24
00:03:35,424 --> 00:03:36,800
Jake, come on!
25
00:03:46,435 --> 00:03:48,103
Pay dirt, boys.
26
00:03:52,608 --> 00:03:55,069
Gold! Gold!
27
00:03:55,819 --> 00:03:57,321
Gold!
28
00:04:05,246 --> 00:04:09,583
Officially, the Army sent
Custer into Black Hills
29
00:04:09,750 --> 00:04:11,669
to map out the site of a new fort
30
00:04:11,835 --> 00:04:13,587
to protect the northern railroad,
31
00:04:13,754 --> 00:04:15,214
and though the gold he'd found
32
00:04:15,381 --> 00:04:17,800
didn't amount to more
than a 50-cent diggin',
33
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:19,802
it wasn't long
before the newspapers
34
00:04:19,969 --> 00:04:23,347
proclaimed the place
"the El Dorado of America."
35
00:04:27,810 --> 00:04:31,230
Every day, immigrants came
in hope of striking their fortune.
36
00:04:31,397 --> 00:04:33,399
Like so many before them,
37
00:04:33,565 --> 00:04:36,944
most brought only their dreams
and the clothes on their backs.
38
00:04:37,111 --> 00:04:39,780
Some would make
a new life for themselves.
39
00:04:39,780 --> 00:04:42,324
Others would find only heartbreak.
40
00:04:43,867 --> 00:04:47,913
With the people came the towns
and the camps, hundreds of 'em.
41
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:49,957
For every man
who got rich on gold,
42
00:04:50,124 --> 00:04:53,294
another ten made
a killing on the miners.
43
00:04:53,460 --> 00:04:57,006
Nobody seemed to care that the land
wasn't theirs to claim.
44
00:04:57,798 --> 00:05:01,051
Some men of business,
like Robert Wheeler,
45
00:05:01,218 --> 00:05:04,138
found themselves in the
right place at the right time.
46
00:05:04,305 --> 00:05:06,807
The opportunities
seemed downright endless.
47
00:05:06,974 --> 00:05:09,393
One at a time, gentlemen.
One at a time.
48
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:12,563
Please don't shove.
There's enough to go around.
49
00:05:13,772 --> 00:05:16,567
- How do you get to the Black Hills?
- Freedom Trail.
50
00:05:16,734 --> 00:05:18,610
$10 will get you
a ride in my wagon.
51
00:05:18,777 --> 00:05:20,195
- $10?
- Yes, sir.
52
00:05:20,362 --> 00:05:22,614
It cost me half that
by train from Chicago.
53
00:05:23,449 --> 00:05:27,077
Well, sir, you can wait until they
build a railroad to the Black Hills,
54
00:05:27,244 --> 00:05:29,330
or you can hand over $10
and hop on.
55
00:05:31,999 --> 00:05:33,584
All right.
56
00:05:35,419 --> 00:05:37,379
Here you go.
57
00:05:37,546 --> 00:05:40,090
One over there on the left.
58
00:05:40,257 --> 00:05:42,217
Yeah, that's it.
59
00:05:45,804 --> 00:05:48,807
Who needs pans?
There you go.
60
00:05:50,976 --> 00:05:53,187
I trade with the Sioux
at the agency.
61
00:05:53,354 --> 00:05:56,774
They know me as a friend.
They'll give us safe passage.
62
00:05:57,566 --> 00:05:58,901
Whoa, whoa.
63
00:06:03,113 --> 00:06:04,114
What about them?
64
00:06:04,281 --> 00:06:06,033
They friends of yours too?
65
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:08,786
Those aren't Indians.
Bushwhackers!
66
00:07:23,652 --> 00:07:25,863
Red Cloud had won for his people
67
00:07:26,029 --> 00:07:28,782
a protected place in the sacred lands.
68
00:07:29,825 --> 00:07:33,120
Now the country promised
forever to the Lakota
69
00:07:33,287 --> 00:07:35,789
was being overrun with white men.
70
00:07:35,789 --> 00:07:38,375
For hot bloods like Red Lance
71
00:07:38,542 --> 00:07:40,794
and his brother
Voices That Carry,
72
00:07:40,794 --> 00:07:43,797
the time for fighting
was drawing near.
73
00:11:17,803 --> 00:11:21,807
"Gentlemen may cry peace,
but there is no peace.
74
00:11:21,807 --> 00:11:23,892
The war is actually begun."
75
00:11:24,059 --> 00:11:25,977
Do you see this exclamation point
76
00:11:26,144 --> 00:11:28,730
that Mr. Patrick Henry
put there after "begun"?
77
00:11:28,897 --> 00:11:31,608
A little stronger next time, Hans,
but very good.
78
00:11:31,775 --> 00:11:33,735
Mr. Kurtz?
79
00:11:33,902 --> 00:11:36,321
"Is life so dear,
or peace so sweet,
80
00:11:36,488 --> 00:11:40,784
as to be purchased at the price
of chains and slavery?
81
00:11:40,784 --> 00:11:42,411
Forbid it, Almighty God!"
82
00:11:42,577 --> 00:11:43,787
Very good!
83
00:11:43,787 --> 00:11:46,373
Very good. Very good.
84
00:11:46,540 --> 00:11:50,043
I think that's enough for today,
and you all need to be gettin' home.
85
00:11:50,210 --> 00:11:52,671
I will see you next Sunday.
86
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:57,926
Oh, children, your gifts are
so sweet but entirely unnecessary.
87
00:11:58,093 --> 00:11:59,594
Please, just get and go.
88
00:11:59,761 --> 00:12:01,513
Get. Shoo.
89
00:12:30,792 --> 00:12:32,544
You put in paper like so,
90
00:12:32,711 --> 00:12:34,254
touch the keys, and presto!
91
00:12:34,421 --> 00:12:37,549
Out comes a letter with all
the quality of newspaper print.
92
00:12:37,716 --> 00:12:38,800
Behold.
93
00:12:44,806 --> 00:12:45,849
With this device,
94
00:12:46,016 --> 00:12:48,351
and a little manual
prestidigitation,
95
00:12:48,518 --> 00:12:50,896
the tedious labor of
business correspondence
96
00:12:51,062 --> 00:12:52,773
may be cut in half.
97
00:12:52,939 --> 00:12:54,733
Most ingenious.
98
00:12:55,776 --> 00:12:58,820
May I put the lady proprietress
down for an order?
99
00:13:03,283 --> 00:13:05,368
- I'll take one!
- Yes, sir.
100
00:13:15,378 --> 00:13:17,589
Pickings were good
out there, Clara.
101
00:13:18,799 --> 00:13:20,717
Better than I expected.
102
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:24,763
Ran out of supplies
before I ran out of miners.
103
00:13:24,763 --> 00:13:27,766
I figure it'll require
a trip to Omaha,
104
00:13:27,766 --> 00:13:30,769
maybe Kansas City, to restock.
105
00:13:30,769 --> 00:13:34,231
I won't have you going
back into those hills!
106
00:13:34,397 --> 00:13:37,192
I couldn't sleep, not knowin'
whether you were alive
107
00:13:37,359 --> 00:13:39,778
or out moldering on
the plains somewhere.
108
00:13:43,782 --> 00:13:44,908
Hey.
109
00:13:45,075 --> 00:13:46,660
Hey, hey, hey.
110
00:13:48,829 --> 00:13:51,206
I didn't mean to cause
you grief, Clara.
111
00:13:53,124 --> 00:13:54,668
It's just...
112
00:13:54,835 --> 00:13:56,795
I have ambitions.
113
00:13:56,795 --> 00:13:58,421
For both of us.
114
00:14:04,803 --> 00:14:06,972
One day, you'll have
a proper gold band
115
00:14:07,138 --> 00:14:09,099
and not some old saddle ring.
116
00:14:09,266 --> 00:14:11,226
Iron is stronger than gold.
117
00:14:12,644 --> 00:14:14,771
I wouldn't trade this ring
for the world.
118
00:14:14,771 --> 00:14:17,440
It was made
for a simple purpose,
119
00:14:17,607 --> 00:14:19,651
just like the man
who gave it to me.
120
00:14:35,792 --> 00:14:36,918
What's wrong?
121
00:14:39,796 --> 00:14:41,464
Somethin' happened.
122
00:14:42,257 --> 00:14:43,800
What happened?
123
00:14:44,509 --> 00:14:46,052
I killed two men.
124
00:14:50,140 --> 00:14:52,350
I looked down the barrel
of my Sharps...
125
00:14:57,439 --> 00:14:59,649
...and I thought I'd
never see you again.
126
00:15:02,777 --> 00:15:04,487
So I shot.
127
00:15:05,614 --> 00:15:07,866
Even though I didn't have to.
128
00:15:09,242 --> 00:15:11,369
So much for purpose, I suppose.
129
00:15:14,873 --> 00:15:18,460
It will be very hard
for our government
130
00:15:18,627 --> 00:15:20,462
to keep the whites
out of the hills.
131
00:15:20,629 --> 00:15:23,965
To try to do so
will give your people
132
00:15:24,132 --> 00:15:25,842
and my government...
133
00:15:26,259 --> 00:15:27,677
...great trouble.
134
00:15:29,262 --> 00:15:31,890
Because the whites
135
00:15:32,057 --> 00:15:34,893
who may wish to go into
these hills are very numerous.
136
00:15:34,893 --> 00:15:38,271
I want our Great Father
to send us meat.
137
00:15:39,439 --> 00:15:41,858
And flour and coffee.
138
00:15:42,901 --> 00:15:45,862
And sugar and tea... and bacon.
139
00:15:47,197 --> 00:15:49,282
And corn and beans.
140
00:15:49,908 --> 00:15:51,451
And tobacco.
141
00:15:52,744 --> 00:15:55,914
I want this for all the people
142
00:15:56,081 --> 00:15:59,334
and for the children
and seven times their children.
143
00:15:59,501 --> 00:16:02,671
Firm offer is $400,000 a year
144
00:16:02,837 --> 00:16:04,255
for the mineral rights.
145
00:16:04,422 --> 00:16:06,049
Now if you should wish
146
00:16:06,216 --> 00:16:07,884
to sell the Black Hills outright,
147
00:16:08,051 --> 00:16:11,763
the price will be $6 million,
payable in 15 annual installments.
148
00:16:11,930 --> 00:16:14,224
I will go to the White Father
149
00:16:14,391 --> 00:16:17,268
in Washington
and smoke pipe with him.
150
00:16:17,435 --> 00:16:18,895
You have heard his words,
151
00:16:18,895 --> 00:16:22,565
which cannot be altered
even to the scratch of a pen.
152
00:16:34,119 --> 00:16:35,745
What kind of harvest?
153
00:16:35,912 --> 00:16:37,205
Just shy of a hundred.
154
00:16:39,165 --> 00:16:40,750
Been a while.
155
00:16:40,917 --> 00:16:42,919
Buffalo harder to find than a job.
156
00:16:43,878 --> 00:16:45,880
Southern herd's almost gone.
157
00:16:51,886 --> 00:16:53,388
What are you asking?
158
00:16:53,555 --> 00:16:55,557
Three dollars per. You buyin'?
159
00:17:01,021 --> 00:17:03,148
I can offer you a dollar per hide,
160
00:17:03,314 --> 00:17:05,358
and I consider that more than fair.
161
00:17:05,525 --> 00:17:08,069
- I'll take one more.
- I consider that to be robbery
162
00:17:08,236 --> 00:17:10,905
with a smile under
a high top hat, Hillman.
163
00:17:10,905 --> 00:17:12,574
Last time the price was $6.
164
00:17:12,741 --> 00:17:14,242
The rage for buffalo bedspreads
165
00:17:14,409 --> 00:17:16,870
and other accoutrements
back east has ended.
166
00:17:16,870 --> 00:17:18,580
Most definitively.
167
00:17:18,747 --> 00:17:21,249
Leave the buffalo
to their extinction, sir.
168
00:17:21,416 --> 00:17:23,293
They've served their purpose.
169
00:17:23,460 --> 00:17:25,545
On the train
from New York to Hillsgate,
170
00:17:25,712 --> 00:17:27,130
I saw the future.
171
00:17:27,881 --> 00:17:29,466
Bones.
172
00:17:29,632 --> 00:17:30,884
Bones?
173
00:17:30,884 --> 00:17:32,802
Buffalo bones.
174
00:17:33,386 --> 00:17:36,014
The detritus of sporting men
lured by a $3 rail pass
175
00:17:36,181 --> 00:17:39,142
and the promise of game
there for the taking.
176
00:17:39,309 --> 00:17:41,978
Carcasses left to rot
create a mighty stench.
177
00:17:42,604 --> 00:17:44,189
But in that smell,
178
00:17:44,481 --> 00:17:47,025
an enterprising man
may detect the odor of money.
179
00:17:47,901 --> 00:17:50,904
Bones can be ground to make
fertilizer and fine china.
180
00:17:51,404 --> 00:17:53,239
And that's only the beginning.
181
00:17:53,406 --> 00:17:56,201
A man can earn himself eight, nine,
182
00:17:56,367 --> 00:17:58,828
perhaps as much as $10 a ton.
183
00:18:04,876 --> 00:18:06,252
Damn it!
184
00:18:15,136 --> 00:18:17,263
I broke away from my father
185
00:18:17,430 --> 00:18:19,349
so that we could have
a life together,
186
00:18:19,516 --> 00:18:21,434
and I mean to make it a good one.
187
00:18:21,601 --> 00:18:24,896
I know, but your dreams
are not your own.
188
00:18:24,896 --> 00:18:26,731
They're your father's.
189
00:18:26,898 --> 00:18:30,819
Clara, all the money
we made on the miners,
190
00:18:30,985 --> 00:18:32,403
we lost on the hides.
191
00:18:32,570 --> 00:18:35,907
- I wouldn't be gone long.
- You're gone often enough.
192
00:18:35,907 --> 00:18:37,909
Give me a reason to stay.
193
00:18:39,869 --> 00:18:44,415
You spend all your time
wet-nursing those squareheads.
194
00:18:45,166 --> 00:18:46,251
Robert...
195
00:18:46,417 --> 00:18:48,336
It makes me sick to my stomach
196
00:18:48,503 --> 00:18:52,882
to see... to see you
teaching those damn kids
197
00:18:52,882 --> 00:18:55,885
when you're too afraid to have
another child of your own!
198
00:19:01,432 --> 00:19:03,017
I'm sorry.
199
00:19:06,896 --> 00:19:09,899
- I didn't mean it.
- Yes, you did.
200
00:19:27,250 --> 00:19:28,668
Come on.
201
00:20:00,325 --> 00:20:02,827
I can't afford to feed
them I've already got,
202
00:20:02,994 --> 00:20:04,871
and now the government
sends me more.
203
00:20:05,872 --> 00:20:08,541
- Sign here to accept custody.
- Yeah.
204
00:20:23,514 --> 00:20:25,308
Since the time of Washita,
205
00:20:25,475 --> 00:20:29,395
Margaret Light Shines remained
a prisoner of the Long Knives,
206
00:20:29,562 --> 00:20:32,482
who herded their captives
from camp to camp
207
00:20:32,649 --> 00:20:34,525
like so many cattle.
208
00:20:34,692 --> 00:20:36,736
She became mother
to the many children
209
00:20:36,903 --> 00:20:38,821
left orphaned by war.
210
00:20:38,988 --> 00:20:40,907
They were her blessings,
211
00:20:40,907 --> 00:20:44,953
and she promised to never
leave them unprotected.
212
00:20:52,835 --> 00:20:54,837
Get in one line!
213
00:20:57,882 --> 00:21:00,885
You understand me?
Back up!
214
00:21:00,885 --> 00:21:02,512
Against the wall.
215
00:21:07,433 --> 00:21:09,185
Ain't buying any more hides.
216
00:21:11,062 --> 00:21:12,063
Not buying?
217
00:21:20,405 --> 00:21:21,656
Not selling 'em.
218
00:21:25,910 --> 00:21:27,370
Watch it.
219
00:21:37,255 --> 00:21:38,381
Go on.
220
00:21:56,691 --> 00:21:58,192
I commend you, sir.
221
00:21:59,068 --> 00:22:01,529
Captain Pratt, 10th Cavalry.
222
00:22:01,696 --> 00:22:03,906
Robert Wheeler.
223
00:22:03,906 --> 00:22:05,908
Allow me to say,
Mr. Wheeler, that...
224
00:22:06,826 --> 00:22:09,454
...you are the exception
that proves the rule.
225
00:22:09,620 --> 00:22:11,873
And what rule is that, captain?
226
00:22:11,873 --> 00:22:13,541
I find the majority of traders
227
00:22:13,708 --> 00:22:15,960
to be unprincipled,
unscrupulous rogues.
228
00:22:16,878 --> 00:22:20,214
A pack of veritable scoundrels,
if you don't mind my saying so.
229
00:22:20,381 --> 00:22:21,883
That's a fine sentiment...
230
00:22:22,884 --> 00:22:26,679
...coming from a man who makes widows
and orphans his stock-in-trade.
231
00:22:28,014 --> 00:22:29,223
Call me a rogue?
232
00:22:30,099 --> 00:22:32,060
Perhaps we both are, Mr. Wheeler.
233
00:22:32,810 --> 00:22:34,896
We've denied these people fraternity.
234
00:22:34,896 --> 00:22:37,440
We've driven them
from their ancestral homes.
235
00:22:37,607 --> 00:22:40,818
It has cost our people
hundreds of millions of dollars
236
00:22:40,985 --> 00:22:43,154
and led to the present
shameful impasse.
237
00:22:43,321 --> 00:22:45,531
Just can't stop progress, captain.
238
00:22:47,325 --> 00:22:49,994
What is progress but what men do?
239
00:22:51,037 --> 00:22:52,872
Most men do what they will.
240
00:22:52,872 --> 00:22:55,875
Others, what they deem to be right.
241
00:22:56,042 --> 00:22:58,044
Where do you stand, Mr. Wheeler?
242
00:22:59,295 --> 00:23:02,298
To be honest with you, sir,
sometimes I'm not so sure.
243
00:23:03,549 --> 00:23:06,552
Now that is a promising beginning
to a man's education.
244
00:23:08,304 --> 00:23:09,764
Good day, Mr. Wheeler.
245
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:17,522
This is the best
I can do for you.
246
00:23:18,523 --> 00:23:20,525
Rations are the first
of every month.
247
00:23:20,691 --> 00:23:22,235
No. We will not beg.
248
00:23:22,402 --> 00:23:23,903
You suit yourself.
249
00:23:24,737 --> 00:23:27,865
But you be damn sure you
and these other squaws stay put.
250
00:23:28,032 --> 00:23:29,909
Orders went out
251
00:23:30,076 --> 00:23:32,370
that any Indian that's
not on agency land
252
00:23:32,537 --> 00:23:34,080
by January 31
253
00:23:34,247 --> 00:23:36,249
will be considered a hostile.
254
00:23:36,874 --> 00:23:38,209
Are you savvy?
255
00:23:38,376 --> 00:23:41,671
- We will not make trouble for you.
- Well, you already have.
256
00:26:11,654 --> 00:26:14,448
Sitting Bull sensed the spirits
of the Long Knives,
257
00:26:14,615 --> 00:26:17,243
who had been sent to capture him
and his people
258
00:26:17,410 --> 00:26:19,787
and force them
to live like white men.
259
00:26:20,663 --> 00:26:24,333
He sought a vision to prepare himself
for the great struggle.
260
00:26:25,084 --> 00:26:28,337
He promised a scarlet blanket
of his own blood
261
00:26:28,504 --> 00:26:29,880
to Wakan Tanka.
262
00:27:19,639 --> 00:27:22,099
Listen to this:
263
00:27:22,266 --> 00:27:24,769
"General George Armstrong Custer,
264
00:27:24,935 --> 00:27:26,896
dressed in a dashing suit
of buckskin,
265
00:27:27,063 --> 00:27:31,108
is prominent everywhere, taking in
everything connected with his command
266
00:27:31,275 --> 00:27:34,862
with the keen, incisive manner
for which he is so well known."
267
00:27:35,029 --> 00:27:36,864
Yeah, well, ain't every command's
268
00:27:37,031 --> 00:27:39,617
got its own pet newspaperman
tagging along.
269
00:27:43,829 --> 00:27:45,915
I want you, Reno and Benteen
270
00:27:46,082 --> 00:27:48,584
to follow their trail
up the Rosebud.
271
00:27:48,751 --> 00:27:51,671
Gibbons and I
will march up the Yellowstone
272
00:27:51,837 --> 00:27:55,424
to a blocking position here
at the mouth of the Little Bighorn.
273
00:27:55,925 --> 00:27:58,678
Now don't be greedy, Custer.
274
00:27:58,844 --> 00:28:00,763
There's Indians enough for all of us.
275
00:28:01,430 --> 00:28:02,807
Wait for us.
276
00:28:02,973 --> 00:28:05,142
No, I don't think I will.
277
00:28:07,895 --> 00:28:09,522
Answer me something.
278
00:28:10,356 --> 00:28:12,900
If you think Custer's
so infernal bad,
279
00:28:13,609 --> 00:28:15,611
why do you ride with him?
280
00:28:16,904 --> 00:28:19,824
It's better to know a devil
and confound his purpose
281
00:28:20,616 --> 00:28:22,618
than to just leave him be.
282
00:28:25,538 --> 00:28:30,668
Sitting Bull's vision inspired
many warriors to leave the reservation.
283
00:28:30,668 --> 00:28:34,588
They pledged themselves to the death
to defend the sacred Paha Sapa.
284
00:28:34,755 --> 00:28:36,632
Sitting Bull moved the people
285
00:28:36,799 --> 00:28:39,510
to the banks of the river
called the Greasy Grass,
286
00:28:39,677 --> 00:28:41,679
where the game was plentiful.
287
00:28:41,679 --> 00:28:44,598
There the warriors
readied themselves.
288
00:28:44,765 --> 00:28:48,728
They waited for the day
the sky would rain Long Knives.
289
00:28:55,234 --> 00:28:57,445
What did you see, Mr. Wheeler?
290
00:28:57,611 --> 00:28:58,696
Horses.
291
00:28:58,863 --> 00:28:59,989
Horses?
292
00:29:00,156 --> 00:29:02,074
More than I can count, sir.
293
00:29:02,241 --> 00:29:04,493
Looked like a brown wave
across the hills,
294
00:29:04,660 --> 00:29:06,996
just on the other side
of Little Bighorn.
295
00:29:07,621 --> 00:29:09,707
We will strike
the village immediately.
296
00:29:11,542 --> 00:29:14,670
Sir, with all due respect,
297
00:29:14,670 --> 00:29:18,048
I think it best that we wait
for our reinforcements to arrive.
298
00:29:18,215 --> 00:29:21,093
I will not risk the chance
of our quarry escaping.
299
00:29:22,136 --> 00:29:24,638
Major Reno will lead his men
across the river
300
00:29:24,805 --> 00:29:26,182
to flush out the hostiles.
301
00:29:26,348 --> 00:29:29,685
I will lead five companies north
to cut off the Indians' retreat.
302
00:29:31,145 --> 00:29:32,688
Yes, sir.
303
00:29:56,212 --> 00:29:58,214
If I go to other side,
304
00:29:58,380 --> 00:30:00,883
I go as crow, not white man.
305
00:30:03,469 --> 00:30:06,222
Deliver this to Captain Benteen
on our left flank.
306
00:30:06,388 --> 00:30:10,559
He is to join the attack after we
have engaged and routed the enemy.
307
00:30:10,726 --> 00:30:11,644
Yes, sir.
308
00:30:12,061 --> 00:30:13,813
What are they doing?
309
00:30:17,691 --> 00:30:19,235
Bad omens.
310
00:30:20,236 --> 00:30:21,612
They see death.
311
00:30:22,112 --> 00:30:25,032
You've done your work.
You found the Sioux.
312
00:30:25,199 --> 00:30:27,785
If you're so afraid of them, go now.
313
00:30:27,952 --> 00:30:29,912
Leave the fighting to us.
314
00:30:52,351 --> 00:30:55,437
Looks like us Reno boys
get the honors today, Jake.
315
00:30:55,604 --> 00:30:59,358
Major's offering 30 days furlough
to the man who takes the first scalp.
316
00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:03,279
I want you to take this.
317
00:31:03,445 --> 00:31:06,699
If anything happens, make sure
it gets delivered to my folks.
318
00:31:06,699 --> 00:31:07,950
Sure thing, Jake.
319
00:31:08,826 --> 00:31:10,452
Hey, Jake.
320
00:31:10,995 --> 00:31:13,831
Least we ain't ridin'
with ol' hard-ass Custer.
321
00:31:14,707 --> 00:31:15,708
Good luck to you.
322
00:31:15,875 --> 00:31:17,418
You too.
323
00:32:09,511 --> 00:32:12,264
That day there would be many battles.
324
00:32:12,431 --> 00:32:14,433
First came the man Reno.
325
00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:16,852
Indians, they had told him,
326
00:32:17,019 --> 00:32:19,813
would run at the fearful sight
of his horse hooves.
327
00:32:21,941 --> 00:32:24,318
But these Indians did not run.
328
00:32:27,780 --> 00:32:30,908
The scouts had spoken
to the long hair, Custer,
329
00:32:31,075 --> 00:32:32,993
but he had no ears.
330
00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:35,079
He was certain
of his great victory.
331
00:32:35,245 --> 00:32:38,791
He led his men towards those he knew
would be escaping the battle
332
00:32:38,958 --> 00:32:40,793
but met only warriors.
333
00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:44,672
The hunter was about
to become the hunted.
334
00:34:55,677 --> 00:34:58,597
Please, God, not like this.
335
00:36:12,671 --> 00:36:14,256
The fighting on the ridge
336
00:36:14,423 --> 00:36:18,510
lasted no longer than a hungry man
takes to eat his meal.
337
00:36:19,094 --> 00:36:22,681
The vision of Sitting Bull
had come to pass.
338
00:36:23,515 --> 00:36:26,768
The Long Knives
had fallen into his village.
339
00:36:33,150 --> 00:36:35,819
The people did not heed
Sitting Bull's warnings
340
00:36:35,986 --> 00:36:39,364
to leave the soldiers'
possessions untouched.
341
00:36:39,531 --> 00:36:43,452
Sitting Bull knew these matters
weighed heavily with Wakan Tanka.
342
00:36:45,704 --> 00:36:47,497
While many celebrated,
343
00:36:47,664 --> 00:36:49,750
others sang death songs.
344
00:37:27,621 --> 00:37:28,789
No.
345
00:37:39,716 --> 00:37:42,219
Congress and the Army
better do something,
346
00:37:42,386 --> 00:37:44,263
and damn quick too!
347
00:37:44,429 --> 00:37:47,057
Kill every one of them
bloodthirsty heathens!
348
00:37:47,224 --> 00:37:50,519
This town's been sitting on
a powder keg better part of a year.
349
00:37:51,687 --> 00:37:53,772
Only a matter of time
before it exploded.
350
00:37:54,690 --> 00:37:58,485
Storekeep! You give me a gun
and all the ammo you got!
351
00:37:58,652 --> 00:38:01,738
We're closed, sir,
out of respect for the dead.
352
00:38:03,824 --> 00:38:07,160
I wish he'd open and let us
take care of this. He wouldn't open.
353
00:38:07,327 --> 00:38:09,079
We'll get 'em somewhere else.
354
00:38:09,246 --> 00:38:12,374
It's horrible to think of children
coming into such a world.
355
00:38:14,084 --> 00:38:16,670
What happened to the baby
wasn't your fault.
356
00:38:16,670 --> 00:38:18,839
- We need more ammo!
- We'll make them pay!
357
00:38:19,673 --> 00:38:21,842
You're a good mother, Clara.
358
00:38:23,093 --> 00:38:24,678
Yes.
359
00:38:26,888 --> 00:38:28,515
Only...
360
00:38:29,433 --> 00:38:31,184
...don't shut me out.
361
00:38:36,565 --> 00:38:38,150
The baby was...
362
00:38:43,947 --> 00:38:45,741
He was my son too.
363
00:38:50,495 --> 00:38:51,997
I'm sorry.
364
00:38:52,789 --> 00:38:54,708
I'm so sorry.
365
00:38:55,500 --> 00:38:56,877
So am I.
366
00:39:13,685 --> 00:39:14,895
You.
367
00:40:17,666 --> 00:40:19,543
Those poor boys.
368
00:40:27,634 --> 00:40:30,679
I salute you, sergeant.
You're a hero.
369
00:40:30,846 --> 00:40:32,806
- Thank you.
- Let me give you some food.
370
00:40:32,973 --> 00:40:35,892
- Thank you kindly.
- Sir? Here you are.
371
00:40:38,687 --> 00:40:40,689
Here you go. Good job.
372
00:40:45,569 --> 00:40:47,571
- For you.
- Thank you, ma'am.
373
00:40:47,737 --> 00:40:48,655
God bless you.
374
00:40:48,822 --> 00:40:51,992
- Godspeed, boys.
- Water your horses.
375
00:40:52,159 --> 00:40:55,412
This town got a postmaster?
376
00:40:56,037 --> 00:40:57,205
That'd be me.
377
00:40:58,957 --> 00:41:01,751
You're first civilization
we've seen since...
378
00:41:04,713 --> 00:41:06,756
What can I do for you, trooper?
379
00:41:07,591 --> 00:41:11,636
I... promised a friend...
380
00:41:12,429 --> 00:41:14,681
...his folks would get this.
381
00:41:14,681 --> 00:41:16,433
I'll see to it.
382
00:41:18,685 --> 00:41:20,687
He was a good man.
383
00:41:22,314 --> 00:41:24,524
He always spoke well of his family.
384
00:41:26,318 --> 00:41:27,819
Please take this.
385
00:41:31,698 --> 00:41:33,700
Thank you kindly, ma'am.
386
00:41:49,466 --> 00:41:51,343
Dearest mother and father,
387
00:41:51,510 --> 00:41:54,804
I'm off on a fool's mission and
cannot be certain of the outcome.
388
00:41:54,971 --> 00:41:58,600
There's not time for me to write
all the things I wish to tell you.
389
00:41:58,767 --> 00:42:01,394
Many a time have I thought
to abandon my charge here
390
00:42:01,561 --> 00:42:03,980
rather than submit
to the willfulness of others
391
00:42:04,147 --> 00:42:05,690
who have been placed above me.
392
00:42:05,690 --> 00:42:09,486
I have always tried to act according
to the lessons of duty and honor
393
00:42:09,653 --> 00:42:11,821
that have been your legacy to me.
394
00:42:11,988 --> 00:42:14,908
I've traveled far
and seen too much,
395
00:42:15,075 --> 00:42:17,452
but always I think of home.
396
00:42:17,619 --> 00:42:19,329
You are both in my prayers.
397
00:42:19,496 --> 00:42:22,415
I remain forever
your loving son, Jacob.
398
00:42:31,800 --> 00:42:33,343
Can I help you, ma'am?
399
00:42:33,510 --> 00:42:36,429
Yes. We're looking
for the person who sent this.
400
00:42:39,683 --> 00:42:40,684
Robert?
401
00:42:49,943 --> 00:42:51,695
He was your son?
402
00:42:53,113 --> 00:42:54,948
Yes.
403
00:42:56,032 --> 00:42:57,701
I'm sorry.
404
00:42:59,703 --> 00:43:01,705
The man who gave you the letter.
405
00:43:02,706 --> 00:43:04,666
Did he tell you anything?
406
00:43:05,417 --> 00:43:07,711
Only that your son
was a good man,
407
00:43:09,546 --> 00:43:11,089
and he loved his family.
408
00:43:17,137 --> 00:43:18,680
Thank you.
409
00:43:27,689 --> 00:43:30,025
I want to see the place
where it happened.
410
00:43:30,191 --> 00:43:33,820
Battlefield's two days
by wagon, ma'am.
411
00:43:33,987 --> 00:43:35,572
That's perilous country.
412
00:43:36,573 --> 00:43:38,783
Army can't vouch yet
for its security.
413
00:43:40,118 --> 00:43:42,829
And there's no telling
where your son might lie.
414
00:43:46,416 --> 00:43:48,418
We'll pay you anything you ask.
415
00:43:50,920 --> 00:43:52,339
Please?
416
00:43:57,552 --> 00:43:58,595
Keep your money.
417
00:44:08,521 --> 00:44:10,190
Do you have any children?
418
00:44:14,235 --> 00:44:15,737
I had a son.
419
00:44:16,780 --> 00:44:19,407
A beautiful boy. William.
420
00:44:20,700 --> 00:44:21,826
A fever took him.
421
00:44:26,414 --> 00:44:28,416
Life is very fragile.
422
00:44:31,544 --> 00:44:34,631
Most of the things I ever loved
have been taken from me.
423
00:44:35,465 --> 00:44:37,467
Do you love your husband?
424
00:44:38,677 --> 00:44:40,345
With all my heart.
425
00:44:40,845 --> 00:44:43,640
Then always hold
that love close to you.
426
00:44:43,807 --> 00:44:45,684
Let it sustain you.
427
00:44:48,687 --> 00:44:50,146
Like this.
428
00:44:56,444 --> 00:44:58,780
I heard tell of a Jacob Wheeler.
429
00:45:00,115 --> 00:45:02,242
Well, there are Wheelers
430
00:45:02,409 --> 00:45:04,327
scattered all over this country.
431
00:45:07,497 --> 00:45:10,041
They say that this one...
432
00:45:11,668 --> 00:45:13,670
...took off with a mountain man.
433
00:45:16,256 --> 00:45:18,341
Married an Indian woman.
434
00:45:21,594 --> 00:45:24,681
Grandfather used
to tell me stories about him.
435
00:45:24,681 --> 00:45:26,683
What kind of stories?
436
00:45:27,434 --> 00:45:29,894
About how he rode
with Fremont to California.
437
00:45:32,105 --> 00:45:33,440
Struck it rich.
438
00:45:34,441 --> 00:45:36,693
Well, if a man lives long enough,
439
00:45:37,986 --> 00:45:41,239
he gets to hear
the stories and the legends
440
00:45:41,406 --> 00:45:43,324
folks tell about him.
441
00:45:49,289 --> 00:45:51,374
I reckon I've lived that long.
442
00:45:54,252 --> 00:45:56,254
Maybe too long.
443
00:46:06,181 --> 00:46:08,183
I need some tobacco.
444
00:46:53,686 --> 00:46:56,689
Find my son, Wakan Tanka.
445
00:46:59,234 --> 00:47:03,530
Take his hand and lead him on his
journey across the hanging road.
446
00:47:04,697 --> 00:47:07,075
Let his spirit...
447
00:47:07,242 --> 00:47:10,370
...and the spirits
of all these young men
448
00:47:10,537 --> 00:47:12,664
who died before their time...
449
00:47:14,457 --> 00:47:16,709
...shine like the stars in the sky.
450
00:47:19,212 --> 00:47:22,340
There may we mothers
find them and say,
451
00:47:22,507 --> 00:47:23,800
"There.
452
00:47:25,593 --> 00:47:27,595
That is my son."
453
00:48:10,221 --> 00:48:11,681
Many Long Knives came
454
00:48:11,681 --> 00:48:14,809
to avenge the death
of the man called Custer.
455
00:48:14,976 --> 00:48:18,563
Because they could not find
Crazy Horse and Sitting Bull,
456
00:48:18,730 --> 00:48:22,358
their anger fell on those
already on the reservations.
457
00:48:22,525 --> 00:48:24,193
The great council in Washington
458
00:48:24,360 --> 00:48:27,864
declared all Indians
to be prisoners of war.
459
00:48:28,031 --> 00:48:30,074
The Lakota, they said,
460
00:48:30,241 --> 00:48:32,702
had broken the promise
of the treaty paper.
461
00:48:32,702 --> 00:48:34,704
The most sacred of sacred lands,
462
00:48:34,871 --> 00:48:36,664
the Paha Sapa,
463
00:48:36,831 --> 00:48:39,542
promised forever
to the Lakota people,
464
00:48:39,709 --> 00:48:41,794
now belonged to the white man,
465
00:48:41,961 --> 00:48:44,589
and he would never give it back.
466
00:48:47,342 --> 00:48:50,553
Loved by the Buffalo
had begun to see the truth
467
00:48:50,720 --> 00:48:52,972
of Growling Bear's vision,
468
00:48:53,139 --> 00:48:55,683
and it pained his heart.
469
00:48:55,683 --> 00:48:59,687
He felt the loss of the power
of Wakan Tanka
470
00:48:59,687 --> 00:49:03,775
and knew that the time was soon
coming to return to his people
471
00:49:03,942 --> 00:49:08,571
without having found the answers
he had sought for so long.
472
00:49:27,048 --> 00:49:28,633
Mr. Wheeler.
473
00:49:30,009 --> 00:49:31,678
Captain Pratt.
474
00:49:33,012 --> 00:49:34,347
You remember.
475
00:49:34,514 --> 00:49:37,642
Well, not likely to forget
our last encounter.
476
00:49:38,643 --> 00:49:41,813
"Exception to the rule,"
I believe you called me.
477
00:49:41,980 --> 00:49:44,816
Not only that, I see,
but a man of many skills.
478
00:49:44,983 --> 00:49:47,652
Nah, this just keeps
breath and bone together.
479
00:49:47,819 --> 00:49:49,696
I come from a family
of wheelwrights.
480
00:49:51,698 --> 00:49:53,241
Your business prospers?
481
00:49:54,909 --> 00:49:57,704
Ice storm killed
most of the cattle last year.
482
00:49:57,870 --> 00:50:00,039
Destroyed most of the wheat.
483
00:50:00,206 --> 00:50:02,041
Drought finished off the rest.
484
00:50:02,208 --> 00:50:04,043
Farmers who bought goods on credit,
485
00:50:04,210 --> 00:50:06,254
they had nothing left
to sell or barter.
486
00:50:06,421 --> 00:50:08,589
Nature can be a stern taskmaster.
487
00:50:09,716 --> 00:50:12,510
The idea of a general store's
becoming obsolete.
488
00:50:13,136 --> 00:50:16,514
Man can find everything he needs
nowadays in Montgomery Ward
489
00:50:16,681 --> 00:50:19,100
or Sears and Roebuck catalogs.
490
00:50:19,976 --> 00:50:22,437
Everything but purpose, Mr. Wheeler.
491
00:50:27,692 --> 00:50:29,027
I guess.
492
00:50:33,197 --> 00:50:35,616
Can I offer you a brandy
and cigar, captain,
493
00:50:35,783 --> 00:50:37,702
or do you abstain
from ardent spirits?
494
00:50:37,869 --> 00:50:39,829
I should, but I do not.
495
00:50:39,996 --> 00:50:41,914
Thank you, Mr. Wheeler.
496
00:50:43,666 --> 00:50:47,462
I had occasion to observe
your classroom today, Mrs. Wheeler.
497
00:50:47,628 --> 00:50:49,672
Your way with children
is commendable.
498
00:50:49,672 --> 00:50:51,299
Well, thank you.
499
00:50:51,466 --> 00:50:54,969
The parents bring so many of
their old ways and prejudices.
500
00:50:55,136 --> 00:50:57,221
If you don't help
the children early on,
501
00:50:57,388 --> 00:50:59,557
they'll never adjust
to their new lives.
502
00:50:59,724 --> 00:51:01,684
My view precisely.
503
00:51:03,519 --> 00:51:06,898
- Thank you.
- You mentioned a proposition.
504
00:51:07,690 --> 00:51:08,900
Yes.
505
00:51:14,322 --> 00:51:15,698
Indeed.
506
00:51:16,699 --> 00:51:18,701
It is a great mistake
507
00:51:18,701 --> 00:51:22,705
to think that the Indian
is born an inevitable savage.
508
00:51:22,705 --> 00:51:25,249
He is born a blank,
like the rest of us.
509
00:51:25,416 --> 00:51:27,668
Left in the surroundings
of savagery,
510
00:51:27,835 --> 00:51:29,796
one naturally becomes a savage.
511
00:51:29,962 --> 00:51:32,256
But transfer
the savage-born infant
512
00:51:32,423 --> 00:51:34,383
to the surroundings
of civilization,
513
00:51:34,550 --> 00:51:37,804
and he will grow to possess
a civilized language and habit.
514
00:51:38,679 --> 00:51:40,681
President Hayes and the Congress
515
00:51:40,681 --> 00:51:44,060
have granted me the use of barracks
in Carlisle, Pennsylvania,
516
00:51:44,227 --> 00:51:46,687
for a model Indian school
517
00:51:46,687 --> 00:51:49,899
and authorized me
to recruit 125 children
518
00:51:50,066 --> 00:51:52,360
from here and the territories
519
00:51:52,527 --> 00:51:54,445
for its inaugural class.
520
00:51:54,612 --> 00:51:56,531
That's so far away.
521
00:51:56,697 --> 00:51:58,991
Surely the reservation
is a better place.
522
00:51:59,158 --> 00:52:02,411
The reservation works
to colonize the Indian,
523
00:52:02,578 --> 00:52:04,330
not individualize him.
524
00:52:05,331 --> 00:52:07,708
If the Indian
is to be assimilated,
525
00:52:07,708 --> 00:52:11,379
he must be gotten into the swim
of American citizenship.
526
00:52:11,546 --> 00:52:13,673
He must feel the touch of it
day after day
527
00:52:13,673 --> 00:52:16,551
until he becomes saturated
with the spirit of it.
528
00:52:16,717 --> 00:52:20,054
Immerse the Indian
in the waters of civilization
529
00:52:20,221 --> 00:52:23,683
and hold him there
until he is thoroughly soaked.
530
00:52:25,685 --> 00:52:28,771
In short, sirs,
by being placed in good schools,
531
00:52:28,938 --> 00:52:32,650
taught our language and industries
and going out among our people,
532
00:52:32,817 --> 00:52:35,444
your children
can become useful Americans.
533
00:52:35,611 --> 00:52:37,613
You see yourselves the evidence
534
00:52:37,780 --> 00:52:40,700
that this is now
the white man's land.
535
00:52:40,867 --> 00:52:45,371
There's nothing left for you
but to become a part of it all.
536
00:52:45,538 --> 00:52:47,623
White man smart.
537
00:52:48,291 --> 00:52:50,668
He speak many promises.
538
00:52:50,835 --> 00:52:52,670
More and more.
539
00:52:53,629 --> 00:52:57,675
White man keep one.
He say he take our land.
540
00:52:57,675 --> 00:52:59,677
Now he take our land.
541
00:52:59,844 --> 00:53:02,680
And why was that land taken?
542
00:53:02,680 --> 00:53:05,558
Because you can neither
read nor write.
543
00:53:06,684 --> 00:53:09,020
Because you are not educated.
544
00:53:09,187 --> 00:53:12,398
These mountains, valleys and streams
have passed from you.
545
00:53:12,565 --> 00:53:15,985
The people who take
these mountains,
546
00:53:16,152 --> 00:53:19,197
these valleys, these streams,
547
00:53:19,363 --> 00:53:21,616
they steal, they lie.
548
00:53:22,366 --> 00:53:25,036
If you were all as smart
as the white man,
549
00:53:25,203 --> 00:53:28,247
you would've known that there
was gold in the Black Hills
550
00:53:28,414 --> 00:53:29,916
and dug it out.
551
00:53:30,082 --> 00:53:32,835
You leave your affairs
in the hands of the white man.
552
00:53:33,002 --> 00:53:35,546
This is why you come to grief.
553
00:53:35,713 --> 00:53:38,674
The white man
will walk right over you
554
00:53:38,841 --> 00:53:42,720
unless you get up and stand
in front of him as his equal.
555
00:53:42,887 --> 00:53:46,682
The way to do this
is to get his education.
556
00:53:48,559 --> 00:53:51,395
You see that I do not
come with soldiers
557
00:53:51,562 --> 00:53:53,731
to take your children
from your very arms.
558
00:53:55,316 --> 00:53:59,278
I believe there are
wise men among you
559
00:53:59,445 --> 00:54:02,990
who will themselves allow
their fortunate sons and daughters
560
00:54:03,157 --> 00:54:05,952
to partake in the
white man's learning.
561
00:56:42,650 --> 00:56:44,735
You believe that much
in Pratt's idea?
562
00:56:53,244 --> 00:56:55,454
I believe in us.
563
00:56:56,247 --> 00:56:58,707
I believe in what
we can do together.
564
00:57:10,302 --> 00:57:12,388
After all that's happened?
565
00:57:17,685 --> 00:57:20,229
I want to stop
dwelling in the past.
566
00:57:22,898 --> 00:57:25,693
Everything I have that's precious
567
00:57:25,693 --> 00:57:28,070
is right here in this moment.
568
00:59:06,627 --> 00:59:08,671
Fortitude, Mrs. Wheeler.
569
00:59:08,671 --> 00:59:10,214
Our task awaits.
570
00:59:25,688 --> 00:59:27,690
Move 'em out!
571
01:00:05,311 --> 01:00:06,979
Keep moving.
572
01:00:15,696 --> 01:00:19,074
Do what Mr. Mortensen says.
Stay in line.
573
01:00:25,873 --> 01:00:27,750
One behind the other.
574
01:00:49,688 --> 01:00:51,398
I'll take that.
575
01:00:56,153 --> 01:00:57,613
There.
576
01:01:15,130 --> 01:01:17,299
You're gonna be all right.
577
01:01:24,306 --> 01:01:25,349
Come on, boy.
578
01:01:28,227 --> 01:01:30,145
- Easy, child.
- Hey.
579
01:01:30,312 --> 01:01:33,232
- Don't make this more difficult.
- He's just scared.
580
01:02:00,509 --> 01:02:02,094
Do you see these marks?
581
01:02:02,261 --> 01:02:04,680
Each word is a white man's name.
582
01:02:04,680 --> 01:02:08,225
You will choose
one of these names for your own.
583
01:02:08,392 --> 01:02:09,768
Begin, please.
584
01:02:20,446 --> 01:02:21,697
Hiram.
585
01:02:23,699 --> 01:02:25,701
Meredith.
586
01:02:28,412 --> 01:02:29,705
Walter.
587
01:02:35,627 --> 01:02:37,087
Pearl.
588
01:02:46,680 --> 01:02:48,599
George.
589
01:02:48,766 --> 01:02:50,058
Abigail.
590
01:02:57,524 --> 01:02:58,692
Come along, children.
591
01:02:58,692 --> 01:02:59,985
Get your clothes.
592
01:03:00,152 --> 01:03:01,153
Right this way.
593
01:03:01,320 --> 01:03:03,155
- Move.
- For you.
594
01:03:03,322 --> 01:03:05,949
Find a bed. Keep moving.
595
01:03:06,116 --> 01:03:09,453
- Take these and put them on.
- Move along.
596
01:03:09,620 --> 01:03:12,039
- Trousers.
- Find a bed.
597
01:03:12,206 --> 01:03:13,707
This is for you.
598
01:03:13,707 --> 01:03:15,709
Get your clothes.
Keep moving.
599
01:03:17,753 --> 01:03:19,171
Move.
600
01:03:19,713 --> 01:03:21,673
Move along.
601
01:03:21,840 --> 01:03:24,635
Keep moving.
602
01:03:24,802 --> 01:03:26,845
Go in that room.
Find a bed.
603
01:03:30,057 --> 01:03:31,225
Get your clothes.
604
01:03:32,434 --> 01:03:34,686
Go in that room.
Find a bed.
605
01:04:40,919 --> 01:04:43,672
Stop that boy, Mr. Wheeler!
606
01:04:45,215 --> 01:04:46,758
There he is!
607
01:04:51,221 --> 01:04:53,974
- Don't let him get away!
- Come on, now!
608
01:04:54,975 --> 01:04:57,394
I got him! I got him!
I got him!
609
01:05:00,355 --> 01:05:02,608
Hold on to him!
610
01:05:04,651 --> 01:05:06,236
This is to be expected.
611
01:05:07,029 --> 01:05:09,031
Stop struggling, you!
612
01:05:10,574 --> 01:05:13,702
An Indian man only cuts his hair
in times of great mourning.
613
01:05:13,702 --> 01:05:17,080
- If it's their tradition...
- Old habits must be unlearned.
614
01:05:18,165 --> 01:05:20,334
The sooner the better.
615
01:05:26,465 --> 01:05:29,134
Got the devil in him.
616
01:05:29,301 --> 01:05:31,595
- Enough of that.
- No where to go now.
617
01:05:32,846 --> 01:05:35,015
Thank you, everyone.
618
01:05:35,182 --> 01:05:36,934
Back to your duties.
619
01:05:37,100 --> 01:05:39,686
- Quickly now.
- Come on, now.
620
01:05:47,402 --> 01:05:49,988
We won't have to go
through that again.
621
01:05:52,574 --> 01:05:54,576
You too, Mr. Wheeler.
622
01:06:02,668 --> 01:06:05,045
Something wrong with his hair.
623
01:06:05,212 --> 01:06:06,672
Mrs. Wheeler.
624
01:06:46,044 --> 01:06:48,046
Is it right what we're doing?
625
01:06:49,047 --> 01:06:51,133
It all made so much sense.
626
01:06:52,134 --> 01:06:54,219
We have to give it
more time, Clara.
627
01:06:56,680 --> 01:06:58,682
Captain Pratt's a decent man.
628
01:07:00,767 --> 01:07:02,853
He knows what he's doing.
629
01:09:58,528 --> 01:10:01,740
The universe is made of circles.
630
01:10:01,907 --> 01:10:05,452
No beginning and no end.
631
01:10:14,002 --> 01:10:17,339
The cross touches
the circle four times.
632
01:10:17,505 --> 01:10:19,633
Yesterday, you were Indians.
633
01:10:19,799 --> 01:10:22,594
Today, you are Americans.
634
01:10:23,386 --> 01:10:27,641
Hereafter, you will not speak
in your native tongue.
635
01:10:27,807 --> 01:10:29,684
You will speak only English.
636
01:10:29,684 --> 01:10:31,019
Our purpose here
637
01:10:31,186 --> 01:10:33,438
at the Carlisle
Indian Industrial School
638
01:10:33,605 --> 01:10:35,690
is to make you ready
to take a useful place
639
01:10:35,690 --> 01:10:37,609
in the white man's world.
640
01:10:37,776 --> 01:10:41,696
There are four directions,
four virtues.
641
01:10:53,333 --> 01:10:56,419
Remember, there is no shame
in hard work.
642
01:10:56,586 --> 01:10:59,089
In work, there is freedom.
643
01:10:59,256 --> 01:11:01,675
Make the most of your time here.
644
01:11:01,841 --> 01:11:03,677
You have no right to waste your own.
645
01:11:03,677 --> 01:11:06,930
Still less, the time of others.
646
01:11:07,097 --> 01:11:10,684
Each of us is born
with one of these.
647
01:11:12,018 --> 01:11:16,231
All of you must find
the other three within you.
648
01:11:21,695 --> 01:11:23,238
Dismissed.
649
01:11:30,495 --> 01:11:34,791
My great grandfather
made and fixed wheels
650
01:11:34,958 --> 01:11:36,876
as he marched with Washington.
651
01:11:38,920 --> 01:11:40,588
George Washington?
652
01:11:40,755 --> 01:11:41,965
Potomac?
653
01:11:44,050 --> 01:11:45,677
Cherry tree.
654
01:11:46,344 --> 01:11:47,679
Forget it.
655
01:11:48,555 --> 01:11:50,682
Let me show you
how a wheel's made.
656
01:11:50,849 --> 01:11:52,600
- Hub.
- Hub.
657
01:11:52,767 --> 01:11:54,060
Spokes.
658
01:11:54,227 --> 01:11:56,021
- Spokes.
- All right?
659
01:11:56,187 --> 01:11:58,398
- Wheel.
- Wheel.
660
01:12:26,509 --> 01:12:28,720
George, why don't you
give it a try?
661
01:12:36,144 --> 01:12:37,437
All right.
662
01:12:37,604 --> 01:12:39,689
Now find "A."
663
01:12:43,318 --> 01:12:44,694
Now "B."
664
01:12:46,279 --> 01:12:47,280
Good.
665
01:12:55,789 --> 01:12:57,415
Please, continue.
666
01:13:06,674 --> 01:13:07,801
And "C"?
667
01:13:14,015 --> 01:13:16,017
Go ahead.
You were doing so well.
668
01:13:20,605 --> 01:13:21,773
Outside.
669
01:13:30,698 --> 01:13:33,284
Now you listen to me, young man...
670
01:13:38,706 --> 01:13:40,166
Unbutton your jacket.
671
01:13:42,001 --> 01:13:43,628
Now!
672
01:14:02,397 --> 01:14:05,942
He stole barbed wire from your shop
and made these for other boys.
673
01:14:12,699 --> 01:14:14,701
If we succeed, Mr. Wheeler,
674
01:14:14,868 --> 01:14:16,786
Carlisle will be
the model for dozens,
675
01:14:16,953 --> 01:14:20,248
perhaps hundreds of other
Indian schools all over the country.
676
01:14:20,415 --> 01:14:22,834
I believe that if we can
turn George around,
677
01:14:23,001 --> 01:14:25,670
we can turn around
the most recalcitrant of them.
678
01:14:27,338 --> 01:14:30,300
I agree. I wonder if a slower
transition wouldn't be...
679
01:14:30,467 --> 01:14:32,510
There is no time left
for half measures.
680
01:14:32,677 --> 01:14:35,847
To save the child,
we must kill the Indian,
681
01:14:36,014 --> 01:14:38,516
fully and completely.
682
01:16:34,674 --> 01:16:37,010
Use your spoon.
Very good.
683
01:16:37,719 --> 01:16:39,304
Remember what you learned.
684
01:16:39,470 --> 01:16:41,681
I cannot abide that man.
685
01:16:41,681 --> 01:16:45,226
How can he be so right
and so wrong at the same time?
686
01:17:01,701 --> 01:17:03,411
Bite it. Bite it!
687
01:17:04,704 --> 01:17:06,497
Bite it! Chew!
688
01:17:06,664 --> 01:17:09,500
Chew! Chew!
689
01:17:09,667 --> 01:17:12,587
Never speak Indian again! Never!
690
01:17:46,996 --> 01:17:50,708
You got your spokes set.
Now attach your felloes.
691
01:17:50,708 --> 01:17:52,418
Make your rim.
692
01:17:53,544 --> 01:17:54,921
Where's George?
693
01:18:00,385 --> 01:18:01,761
George?
694
01:18:07,892 --> 01:18:11,688
"Lesson 24: The Storyteller.
695
01:18:11,688 --> 01:18:13,690
Peter Parley
was a great storyteller.
696
01:18:13,856 --> 01:18:16,484
This is known to all children
697
01:18:16,651 --> 01:18:18,569
who have read his books."
698
01:18:24,242 --> 01:18:26,536
I thought they might be sick.
699
01:18:26,703 --> 01:18:28,621
Are you sick, boy?
700
01:19:31,684 --> 01:19:34,645
The younger boys
were no doubt corrupted.
701
01:19:34,812 --> 01:19:36,689
But George is a different matter.
702
01:19:38,483 --> 01:19:42,278
With all due respect, you might
be asking too much of these children.
703
01:19:42,445 --> 01:19:43,362
Too much?
704
01:19:44,155 --> 01:19:45,698
You demean them.
705
01:19:46,699 --> 01:19:48,868
We don't demand the Germans,
for instance,
706
01:19:49,035 --> 01:19:52,497
become thoroughly American
before we admit them to this country.
707
01:19:52,663 --> 01:19:54,707
They arrive on our shores
old and young,
708
01:19:54,707 --> 01:19:57,251
and must become Americans at once.
709
01:19:57,418 --> 01:19:59,921
We don't feed
our civilization to immigrants.
710
01:20:00,087 --> 01:20:02,381
We feed immigrants
to our civilization.
711
01:20:02,548 --> 01:20:04,300
So let it be with the Indian.
712
01:20:04,467 --> 01:20:07,261
Give me a chance
to bring George around.
713
01:20:07,428 --> 01:20:10,264
I think I may have
some currency with him.
714
01:20:11,474 --> 01:20:13,643
Very well, Mr. Wheeler.
715
01:20:14,685 --> 01:20:17,021
I have come to
the regrettable realization
716
01:20:17,188 --> 01:20:19,899
that you no longer share
my views on education.
717
01:20:20,691 --> 01:20:22,985
But I'm willing to accede
to your methods.
718
01:20:23,152 --> 01:20:24,695
This once.
719
01:20:34,330 --> 01:20:36,707
Captain Pratt
reminds me of my father.
720
01:20:38,793 --> 01:20:40,795
He's an immovable wall.
721
01:20:40,962 --> 01:20:43,673
I wonder that he may not
be right in the end.
722
01:20:44,674 --> 01:20:46,717
Will our child say that about you?
723
01:21:22,545 --> 01:21:23,671
George.
724
01:21:34,015 --> 01:21:35,766
You are welcome.
725
01:21:37,977 --> 01:21:40,688
I know you can understand
some of what I say...
726
01:21:42,690 --> 01:21:44,191
...and whatever you think,
727
01:21:44,358 --> 01:21:46,569
Captain Pratt
means well for your people.
728
01:21:46,736 --> 01:21:48,070
No.
729
01:21:56,704 --> 01:22:00,708
I'm a simple man,
but I know this:
730
01:22:02,084 --> 01:22:03,669
Knowledge is power.
731
01:22:04,670 --> 01:22:08,507
And if you don't study our ways,
how will your great grandchildren
732
01:22:08,674 --> 01:22:10,509
know the meaning
of your holy wheel?
733
01:22:11,135 --> 01:22:13,638
How will they know of your history?
734
01:22:13,804 --> 01:22:16,682
Of your great victories?
735
01:22:17,683 --> 01:22:20,061
We tell these things.
736
01:22:20,227 --> 01:22:21,938
That's not enough, George.
737
01:22:23,689 --> 01:22:26,442
See, 'cause what we call history
738
01:22:26,609 --> 01:22:29,111
is written by those
who win the battles.
739
01:22:30,655 --> 01:22:32,698
So you must make
your voice heard.
740
01:22:33,574 --> 01:22:35,701
You must preserve your culture.
741
01:22:36,702 --> 01:22:38,704
You must write it down.
742
01:22:39,372 --> 01:22:40,706
In English.
743
01:22:41,582 --> 01:22:43,376
Not for Pratt,
744
01:22:43,542 --> 01:22:45,753
but for your children
and their children.
745
01:22:47,630 --> 01:22:50,299
Why I do what you tell me?
746
01:22:50,466 --> 01:22:52,510
White men say many things,
747
01:22:52,677 --> 01:22:54,220
mean nothing.
748
01:22:55,930 --> 01:22:58,015
That is true of some white men...
749
01:22:59,308 --> 01:23:01,560
...and some Indians, I expect.
750
01:23:04,230 --> 01:23:06,232
You're a young man, George.
751
01:23:07,316 --> 01:23:10,528
Believe me, I know the nature
of a young man's dreams.
752
01:23:12,113 --> 01:23:13,864
Don't stop dreaming.
753
01:23:15,533 --> 01:23:17,535
But remember, when you wake up,
754
01:23:18,536 --> 01:23:21,038
you're back in a white man's world.
755
01:23:28,546 --> 01:23:30,381
You have dream?
756
01:23:31,966 --> 01:23:34,260
I still got a few left.
757
01:23:35,678 --> 01:23:38,180
Maybe it's not too late
to make them happen.
758
01:23:52,695 --> 01:23:54,697
And it is
my considerable pleasure
759
01:23:54,697 --> 01:23:57,658
on this signal occasion
to introduce
760
01:23:57,825 --> 01:24:01,704
our commencement theatrical,
Columbia's Roll Call,
761
01:24:01,704 --> 01:24:04,415
presented by the students
of Mrs. Clara Wheeler.
762
01:24:04,582 --> 01:24:06,542
A round of applause, please.
763
01:24:14,008 --> 01:24:17,678
Are we the same boys who,
with trinkets and toys,
764
01:24:17,845 --> 01:24:21,766
moccasins, blankets and paint,
and a costume most quaint,
765
01:24:21,932 --> 01:24:25,811
on the sixth of October,
the long journey over,
766
01:24:25,978 --> 01:24:28,731
came to this friendly roof
six months ago?
767
01:24:29,440 --> 01:24:31,692
Yes, we are the very same
768
01:24:31,859 --> 01:24:34,695
who to these good barracks came,
769
01:24:34,695 --> 01:24:38,491
where kindly friends
a welcome gave us,
770
01:24:38,657 --> 01:24:41,786
did all they could
to teach and save us
771
01:24:41,952 --> 01:24:44,705
from idle habits and bad ways
772
01:24:44,705 --> 01:24:48,167
and carried us safely
through the maze
773
01:24:48,334 --> 01:24:51,170
of reading, writing
and of talking,
774
01:24:51,337 --> 01:24:53,672
and even improved our walking.
775
01:24:54,840 --> 01:24:56,675
Heralds of fame and history,
776
01:24:56,675 --> 01:24:58,719
unroll your scroll of mystery.
777
01:24:58,886 --> 01:25:01,555
Then with your silver trumpets blast,
778
01:25:01,722 --> 01:25:03,724
unloose the shut gates
of the past
779
01:25:03,891 --> 01:25:06,060
and call Columbia's heroes forth,
780
01:25:06,227 --> 01:25:08,896
proclaim them East,
West, South and North.
781
01:25:12,149 --> 01:25:16,070
Then boomed the Pinta's signal gun,
782
01:25:16,237 --> 01:25:20,032
the first that ever broke
the sleep of that new world.
783
01:25:20,199 --> 01:25:23,953
The sound echoing
to forest depths,
784
01:25:24,120 --> 01:25:26,080
a continent awoke.
785
01:25:26,247 --> 01:25:30,584
I see a train of exiles stand
amid the desert desolate,
786
01:25:30,751 --> 01:25:33,003
the fathers
of Massachusetts land,
787
01:25:33,170 --> 01:25:35,089
the daring pioneers of fate
788
01:25:35,256 --> 01:25:37,383
who braved the perils
of sea and earth...
789
01:25:37,550 --> 01:25:41,220
You've taken our rivers and mountains,
the plains where we loved to roam.
790
01:25:41,387 --> 01:25:44,640
Banish us not to the mountains
and the lonely wastes for home!
791
01:25:45,683 --> 01:25:48,811
Our clans that were
strongest and bravest are broken
792
01:25:48,978 --> 01:25:50,896
and powerless through you.
793
01:25:51,063 --> 01:25:53,440
Let us join
the great tribe of white men
794
01:25:53,607 --> 01:25:55,693
as brothers to dare and to do.
795
01:25:58,696 --> 01:26:01,907
And still the ways of peace
we would follow,
796
01:26:02,074 --> 01:26:05,703
sow the seed
and the sheaves gather in.
797
01:26:05,703 --> 01:26:08,747
Share your labor,
your learning, your worship,
798
01:26:08,914 --> 01:26:11,625
a life larger, better to win.
799
01:26:11,792 --> 01:26:14,879
Then foeman no longer nor aliens,
800
01:26:15,045 --> 01:26:17,840
but brothers indeed we will be.
801
01:26:18,007 --> 01:26:21,051
And the sun find
no citizens truer
802
01:26:21,218 --> 01:26:23,804
as he rolls
to the uttermost sea.
803
01:26:49,330 --> 01:26:51,540
You disappoint me, Mr. Wheeler.
804
01:26:52,416 --> 01:26:54,793
Comes from me trying
to please people too much.
805
01:26:57,296 --> 01:26:59,673
But a man's gotta stand
for something,
806
01:26:59,673 --> 01:27:01,675
or he doesn't count for much.
807
01:27:01,675 --> 01:27:04,303
And what do you stand for,
Mr. Wheeler?
808
01:27:05,304 --> 01:27:07,681
Do you even know yourself?
809
01:27:07,848 --> 01:27:10,559
I do... now, sir.
810
01:27:12,686 --> 01:27:14,772
It's time for me to go home...
811
01:27:17,691 --> 01:27:19,693
...where I can do some good...
812
01:27:20,945 --> 01:27:22,571
...my own way.
