1. Here's a news article about it.

http://www.santafenewmexican.com/news/local_news/cameraman-confronts-women-on-plaza-after-encounter-with-native-performer/article_ac4e8806-ad25-5d01-85c0-6f9f9a666ea0.html

John SwiftBird, a 39-year-old Oglala Lakota man originally from Pine Ridge, S.D., says he is no stranger to racism.

But SwiftBird, who plays a drum and sings on the Plaza a few days a week, hadn’t encountered that kind of behavior during his two years in the Santa Fe area — until Monday, when he said a group of women approached and started “bouncing up and down, making noise and stuff,” as he performed Lakota songs.

SwiftBird said he interpreted their actions as racist.

A video of the incident captured by an onlooker and circulated on social media has outraged locals who see the encounter in the same vein as a viral Washington, D.C., encounter this month, in which a group of boys in “Make America Great Again” hats appeared to mock a Native American man drumming and singing during an Indigenous Peoples March.

Sounds about white.

4. There's a lot going on in that video. Do you have any thoughts about what they were saying?

5. We don't know. But until we do, we can't jump to conclusions

That wouldn't be fair to rush to judgement.

8. ug................

i just honestly can't even with this................

They practically made that smirking MAGA kid into a hero when he should have been expelled along with his cohorts in disgrace. I can't even stomach the thought of these women getting the same treatment.........
