While in N. Dakota, I took some friends (Full blooded Natives) into bismarck to purchase supplies, While I was getting batteries, my friends were being yelled at, people screamed at them, calling them "dirty f-ckin indians" They were laughing at them..The gentleman was an Elder, people, two actually, sneering, telling him "only good injun is a dead injun" it was horrible!!!! I stood with my mouth open in shock, I couldn't move, just frozen. I have never experienced anything like that EVER!!!

After I thawed out, I threw my stuff on the floor and went to them, I stood with my back to my friends and faced those two ugly humans...it was hard, I wanted to punch them in the face!!!

Now, that same store (Target) in Bismarck, put out that they reserve the right to stop anyone who they think is supporting #NoDAPL from entering.

This is NOT right...

Much love to the employees of Smith's, thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
