Video shows tourists mocking Native drummer in Santa Fe

First topic message reminder :

Oglala Lakota drummer John SwiftBird says he often sings traditional pow wow songs and the women were likely intoxicated

A video has surfaced on Facebook in which four women appear to be dancing in a mocking way at an Oglala Lakota street performer and traditional drummer John Swiftbird.

The video was posted to Facebook by Steve Wilkerson, a man who was visiting the Santa Fe area at the time of the incident. His posted video has received thousands of views and hundreds of comments. He also gave the video to the Santa Fe New Mexican, which posted the video to YouTube.

After initial interactions of the women -- who are wearing cowboy hats -- the man recording the video says "You should be embarrassed." The women begin to walk away and some cover their faces with their hats. He also asks the women for their names, which they do not give.

One of the women says "I'm gonna f---n kill you. Kill your mother."

The person filming asks if the women are racists, which they deny. He also films their license plate.

The plate and faces have been blocked by the Santa Fe New Mexican on the video that has been uploaded to their channel.

On the Santa Fe news channel KRQE, Swiftbird says he was singing traditional Lakota powwow songs when the women approached. "Some group of young women who were dressed in the same attire were kind of intoxicated jumping up and down to the songs I was singing, making mockery sounds."

New Mexico Dispatch:  What is he doing?

Georgians: He's following us.

Dispatch:  Um, has he touched anyone or threatened harm in any way?

Georgians:  No, he's just following us and saying something.

Dispatch:  What is he saying?

Georgians:  He's saying we shouldn't harass some Indian.

Dispatch:  You were harassing an Indian?

Georgians:  Never mind...my battery is low.

New Mexico is a blue state, not Texas.  They don't knee-jerk for rednecks.  Like California, they try to resolve things in an orderly manner.

You don't follow women dude. It's creepy.

Only if you're in a redneck state. New Mexico, like California, Oregon or Washington, doesn't jump to conclusions. You are doing the same thing that Raggs was doing, trying to lay this off as some sexual pervert. There's nothing sexual about it.

Responsible police agencies don't jump to such conclusions. They listen for facts. They try to get both sides.

As soon as the Georgian girls let go of what they were doing, they would get a cop all right...to lecture them on how to be civilized. They might also get hauled in for being drunk in public.

He went too far. I imagine if the police had gotten involved it would be him who would get a warning.

If this guy had just told the women off, or just questioned them once, they would have just feigned innocence & ignored him completely & walked away. A non story. He wanted a story. He had a point to prove. 


To get to the stage where they guiltily concealed their embarassed faces, took a bit of  'following' and  persistent questioning, there was no other way.


The 'stalking' involved here was not of a sexual nature, he wasn't harassing random tiny girls, he was trying to shame grown women for whom casual disrespect towards natives is clearly a routine activity.

He got his story. 

He got his 5 minutes do you mean?
Stalking and harassing doesn't have to be of a sexual nature to be scary. And I dont see how the size or age of a female should come into the equation, big old women can be victims too.  

Watching the video all I see are 4 stupid women acting like fools....they quickly moved on when they realised the man was videoing them. It should have ended there.
But if he was so incensed, (apparently far more than the street musician was) he could have rung the police, taken their car number and reported them...far better to do that than follow them with his video camera, shouting after them and generally being a bigger pain in the arse than the stupid women .

What else is there? Is being a guy and walking down the street now a status crime? You've either got to paint the action with a sexual motive, or you've got nothing. Sex is the only motive we, as a society, take for granted.

What's more, I didn't hear the Georgians say go away, or give any indication that he was a bother, let alone a threat. In order to establish a breach, they are going to have to prove they made it known he was unwanted. Even then, you've still got to find a law. After all, it's a free country.

Ragamuffin wrote:You're also assuming they were drunk with no evidence at all.

I said 'might'. An officer, once he gets on-scene, might find the Georgians exhibit evidence of intoxication, and take them in for testing.

But Syl, nor were the Georgians doing anything illegal. The issue is not legality, just morality. The Georgians were being rude and ethno-insulting, and the young man was calling them up for it. There was no breach of law on either side.

The behavior of the Georgians is classic ugly-Americanism, which typically comes from southerners. That's why I mention that.

But even so, in any culture it's rude bigotry. The young man was calling them up for that, which is his constitutional right. But that's not to say that the women were doing anything illegal. They were just offensive in public. It's totally a civil matter.

He is to the victim and his wife

John SwiftBird, the singer, said he felt disrespected as three of four women in a group “bounced up and down” and made monkey noises just in front of him for about two minutes.

“There was a lot of subtleties in their racial prejudice,” said SwiftBird, who is Lakota Sioux.

So how astute I am for again being right. They were make ape noises, which if the victim had of been black

This would now be on every major news outlet

What do you mean - what else is there? He followed them to harass them, not to make sexual advances. I never suggested he wanted to make sexual advances to them.

I also didn't say that they should make a complaint about him.

Why would an officer assume they were drunk? Perhaps an officer would also test the guy who followed them as it's not really a normal thing to do.

So confronting racists asking them questions and telling them, they are embarressed, is now harrasment?

You have to continue to laugh how the racists are deemed as victims here

Astounding

Well, if you didn’t suggest illegality, then my points are not for you.  To those who see some illegality or allege he was stalking: You simply don't understand America.  There is a US Constitution, and the young man was exercising his Constitutional First Amendment right to be in a public place and speak freely.  If you can't find some illegal motive to attach to his actions, it's a free country.

Well, the officer might find the evidence in the behavior of the Georgians.  I never said s/he (police officer) would assume anything.  But as a witness to the video, I see indications of intoxication...perhaps the officer might as well.  That's all I'm suggesting.

I told you early on, I can't see what they were doing. I did hear one of them say - give him something, which I think meant money.

On what authority? At the risk of being abrupt, in my opinion you are just another southern bigot who is used to doing things extra-legally...particularly to people of color. I admit, the young man didn't appear to be that, but he was speaking on behalf of the Native American who is. That’s what determines your position on this issue.

You don't imbue your actions with any more legality because you are the father of daughters. I also have daughters, and I don't see the need to take extra-legal action on their behalf.

I can't have a racial subconscious, if there are no races.

Now I'm pretty sure there are still sexes.

Are you sexist?

So what has that got to do with a native American Indian singing a song and they making monkey noises?

Now you really are scraping the barrel lol

He was also banging his drum.

Many songs have drums playing in songs

This is a song from 1981, which was never released as a single, but as part of the album "word of Mouth" and you think these young women have this album?



Like i said, talk about scraping the barrel, they never even sang words to the song but made monkey noises at him

So your reasoning has to go down as one your dumbest and yet again excusing racist people

You then wonder why I draw a conclusiuon to your racism

"A video has surfaced on Facebook in which four women appear to be dancing in a mocking way at an Oglala Lakota street performer and traditional drummer John Swiftbird."

Not my link. I just read them.

You can, when you told me, you are from the white race

This is what you told me and thus you believe there is racial groups

Which is what society does use today

So you have been brought up to view people differently racially

Hence a racial subconscious bias

Imagine if you had been brought up to view humans as once race?

Imagine these women had?

They might have not acted like the skanks that they were
