Poet Layli Long Soldier explains the term Očhéthi Šakówiŋ. This is the name that Lakota, Dakota, and Nakota indigenous people have called themselves for countless generations. Their language, culture, and very existence has been under assault for 150 years. Lakota Nation vs. United States is a reckoning of systematic genocide and the fight for sacred territory. It is a vital history lesson you were never taught in school. Told in three riveting segments by new warriors determined to reclaim their ancestral birthright - the Black Hills of South Dakota.
