Centuries of mistreatment at the hands of Washington have left most native Americans living on isolated reservations.

According to the latest government figures, there are nearly three million Native Americans living in the US. The vast majority live west of the Mississippi River.

The Sioux nation in the state of South Dakota is America's fourth largest tribe. And now they're fighting to take back land which they say the US stole from them more than a century ago.

Tom Ackerman has more from the Black Hills in the US state of South Dakota.

1. The US gov't broke a treaty and stole something! Shocked, I say!

Give it back to them WITH compensation.

2. Give them back their Sacred Lands....

Isn't it overdue that America keeps its word?
Isn't it time to show some honor and restore America's dignity and worth?
We can start here by upholding the treaty and return this stolen land to the people of that land.

3. And a black mark on the MSM

in the US for not reporting such things. It took a foreign news source to bring it out in the open.
