Days after President Donald Trump joked about one of the deadliest Native American massacres in U. S. history, the Indigenous Peoples March sought to highlight the unique contributions of indigenous people as well as the many social, cultural, and political issues they face. But video of a Native American elder being allegedly harassed by teens wearing «Make America Great Again» hats at Friday’s march has gone viral, sparking outrage and condemnation.
In video footage shared on YouTube, Twitter, and Instagram, dozens of white-male teenagers, many of whom can be seen wearing Trump’s signature «Make America Great Again» hats, surround a small group of participants from the Indigenous Peoples March. The teenagers appear to be particularly focused on attempting to crowd, shout down, and intimidate a man who Indian Country Today has identified as Omaha elder and Vietnam veteran Nathan Phillips.
