"Aaron Huey's effort to photograph poverty in America led him to the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, where the struggle of the native Lakota people -- appalling, and largely ignored -- compelled him to refocus. Five years of work later, his haunting photos intertwine with a shocking history lesson in this bold, courageous talk from TEDxDU."

I am crushed by this observation.The hunter-gatherers of Europe lost every thing to agriculurists. I wonder how much racism or the equivalent occurred for the European hunter-gather tribes.

I believe we could have done much better.
