More Than That...

TCHS More Than That

Please click on the link above.
This is a video made by students at Todd County High School. They made the video in an effort to show America that Native Americans are more than what was portrayed on Diane Sawyer's 20/20 episode, Children of the Plains which aired in October. In this episode, Sawyer interviewed and camera's followed children of the Pine Ridge Reservation, showcasing the hardships children face on reservations. Though these situations may be more real than we would like to admit, I found the response video to be inspiring. That these students, found it important to share with the world that they feel they have a chance and are worth "More Than That."
I have read through numerous Facebook posts by teachers from TCHS that the class who made this video is hoping for 50,000+ views. Please, take the time to watch it. Send it out in a forward for all to see--rather than a political or racist jab, send thoughts of hope and inspiration. Show these kids, they have been heard and have people who believe in them enough to pass their message on.
