Johnny Depp Wants To Buy Wounded Knee And Return It To Indians

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


 
Such is Depp’s commitment to the Native American cause, he is planning to spend millions of his own money to return land, Wounded Knee, in South Dakota, to their ownership. The site, the scene of an 1890 massacre, is up for sale for $3.9 million. 
 
Depp said, “It’s very sacred ground and many atrocities were committed against the Sioux there. And in the 1970s there was a stand-off between the Feds (Federal government) and the people who should own that land. This historical land is so important to the Sioux culture and all I want to do is buy it and give it back. Why doesn’t the government do that?”  ”I am doing my best to make that happen. It’s land they were pushed on to and then they were massacred there. It really saddens me.”
 
I hope he is able to do it andIhope the native american media stop ridiculinghim for portraying a native american on film as racist.  The guy has proven time and again that his role as tanto had deeply affected him, he was adopted by the commanche nation as an honorary commanche and made an appearence at the natons largest pow wow.  He is not racist against Indians, he loves you guys and you need to embrace him and accept him as a white speaker or your cause.  Good luck Johnny. -Mort

      Actually Johnny is part Native himself. He is a helluva a man by any standard to do this for anyone. They say the Queen could end world hundred with a paltry few of her (our) millions… why doesn’t she?

      Maybe the Queen will follow Depp`s lead?

      Love you Johhny!

      It shouldn’t matter if he is “white” or not. Right is right if the man wants to stack his paper for the ” Fed thugs” so be it sell it to him and then waste the fiat currency like they normally do.

      GIVE ME A BREAK…………………this is Depp’s attempt to bring small pox blankets and fire water to the Native American people.
      With all the great Native American actors we have today, Hollywood is (STILL) sticking in a (Socalled) white boy to play a indian role. So to avoid the calls of racist, Depp jumps up with a mere 3.9 million to buy Wounded Knee and all is forgiven??????????
      So once again, the Native American PTB have been bought off “AGAIN”, if Wounded Knee is such a sacred place, and holds SOOOoooooooooo much culture, heaven for bid a few of these Reservation casino’s, smoke shops or Native Corp companies come together and spend just a small portion of earnings and buy the land themselves.

      Depp is a liberal Illuminate sell out, he can go back to France where he ran off to after he jumped on the Anti-American band wagon and started preaching his hate against the American people.

        Wow. I’ve read several of you’re posts now and I have to wonder who is paying you?
        Its obvious you are playing the Trolling Bigot.
        And like “The Whore” you don’t mind which side your on at the moment, mexican, black, indian. Now, which alphabet group is ‘the whore’, ah yes! the ‘monolithic group that opposes mankind.’ Say hi to the Covens of Azazel, the Papal Royal and Federal.

        In this day and age, anything that 1 man can do that can help another should be applauded, lauded, and honored for the generous spirit the offer was made in.

        But “Heart” and the ability to “have a care” and feel compassion for people, is unfortunately something C.A. sociopaths, which are hard wired to the reptile brain, are literally physically incapable of feeling for anyone other than themselves. At least according to modern medicine; its a choice not a sickness nor is this ‘brain damage’ curable.

      My favorite Indian actor is that guy on Big Bang Theory, Kuthrapoli

      Johnny Depp is a zionist jew.

    • DIgnified

      Damn decent of him. His movie is still a dud. The amount of saturation in the white-guilt market is high.

      Well said Johnny. Therefore, if the indians had never been defeated, then there never would have been a hollywood. So you should give all of your money and house and cars back to the indians, since it is rightfully theirs. I will never ever ever take any liberal seriously until they give up what they have to others ($3 million is nothing but a tax write-off for Johnny). They like to go around and tell other people that they should be socialist and to redistribute what they have to others, but they continue to accumulate obscene wealth and live away from the rest of the population in their rich exclusive neighborhoods. I’d love to walk into an LA elite neighborhood, and build section 8 apartments right across the street from mansions and tell them that they need to share their neighborhood and be more diverse.

      WHAT A TWIT. JOHNNY AMERICA IS FACING A FINANCIAL MELTDOWN ALL YOUR INTERESTED IN IS SOME CHEAP PUBLICITY. YOUR A MK ULTRA LUCIFERIAN ILLUMINATE WANNABE WHO SOLD HIS SOUL FOR FAME AND WEALTH. YOU HAVE MULTIPLE PERSONALITIES YOU ADMIT TO AKA PERFECTLY POSSESSED BECAUSE YOU KNOW ITS THERE AND DONT CARE(APART FROM THE SUICIDAL TENDENCIES WHICH YOU GET MOST DAYS.)

      I used to want to spend my money to return the land too, but then I took an arrow to the knee…

      Good for him. But he’s not the only private citizen, part indian who has negated some of the neglect of the USA government in restoring their rights. For which the USA governments shamefully haven’t honored a single agreement they made with them. There was long distance competition rider (sorry forgotten his name) who saved the mustang from being rounded up and destroyed by the government of the day, by winning the most grueling long distance race of all in Arabia. He used the prize money to buy all the mustangs off the USA government, and the first thing he did was let them free. There’s an excellent movie about it called Hidalgo.

      Go Johnny! I knew i always liked him for a reason!! Being part Cherokee myself,my great grandmother 100% Cherokee,I’ve always felt horror at the tragedy and plight of Indians who this land belonged to long before it was FOUNDED. Now my hope is that they will get the dignity they deserve,we all deserve,as human beings. Yet the longer we live,the worse our atrocities against HUMANITY become. I hope Johnny succeeds,one good act of charity covers a multitude of sins. Godspeed Johnny!

      When Obama signed the UN Declaration for the Rights of Indigenous Peoples in 2010 that gave them the teeth needed to get their “sacred” lands back. So why haven’t they asserted themselves via this international declaration to get their land back if they’re the true indigenous of America? Obviously something is amiss as to the reason they can’t acquire this land on their own.

    • Michelle McReynolds

      Way to go, Johnny Depp!

      “I am doing my best to make that happen”
      more big mouth celebutalk
      3.9 MM is chump change to a big star. if he wanted to do it, it would have happened already-quietly and behind the curtail without all this posturing.

    • spiritquester

      Awesome…from what I can tell this an act of goodness…and I am all for that.

    • et Setera

      Any act of kindness which comes from the heart should be applauded, and this seems to be the real thing. ‘Our’ Queen (and many of us don’t want her) would never make such a gesture. Her forbear Victoria ignored a plea for aid from starving Canadian natives, who wrote to her in desperation. Native tribes sent aid to Ireland during the potato famine, that generosity of spirit is the finest human quality.

      A little off topic… if Hollywood is throwing millions in to help the Sioux. Buy the unfinished Dunbar Resort and operate it as a business, to provide funds for all the Sioux Reservations in South Dakota.
      Wounded Knee is a painful memory, but it will always be there. The property has little value except to exploit the massacre, which will never be allowed to happen, except on the internet, unless AIM comes back.
      Costner is one living person who owes a debt to the Sioux. Some emotional blackmail will cut the asking price, which is too high anyway. Get Depp to finance it.

      Tribal government will have property in a financially viable area of the Hills, which makes it easier to expand. And a revenue source, which is better than the BIA.
