an open market on this part here right yeah around this whole strip apart right here to the end and sometimes they'll be filled and they'll start going on that side of the park for flames they're nice we're selling food and today it looks like about three places right yeah tomorrow will be even more busy because tomorrow is a Friday and a variety is a pretty bustling maybe people get paid on Friday

she has her coffee business and the sandwiches is something I looked it all over there and then sometimes people like to sit up and they're you know mostly it's a full support families around here you know when people sell food or goods and items feed it work that's for the mostly for the families because we're you know we're far from the city we're like an hour from the city yeah yeah yeah we're part from the city that looks good here MoMA you hold that there's a grocery store is a 15 miles away and Harden and we have a gas station we have a post office and there was some there was some mug is that that one over there there was some little supermarket but there was nothing there was there wasn't any fresh food in there it was just like chips and where was that it's over there right so it's hard to get a real grocery store exactly yeah when is that yeah the groceries will apply about nine months ago and since then we we have to go all the way to harden or you know if you got big to that ITA right yeah we're over there and then otherwise you have to go to buildings the Sam's Club Costco Walmart you know yeah and you better have a truck or van and take you so good things you guys

areas and I'll set up like the long just set it right here along the street make it like a little drive everybody can sell it right if it no rent seems that you just you just set up and sell all right oh you have to sure we don't have to right whatever okay you know how to handle food right [Music] oh you have to where'd you get that they have classes at the MSU B extension your hard info or the local IHS here and a pro they offer food safety courses also poly life every six months its life thank you yeah New York we're touring around looking around I make youtube videos that's all I can do man come on over a couple minutes ago you know like in the cities or like even the suburbs of the cities you'll have a water sanitation and to y'all that's normal and for us it's a luxury or something that we look forward to having because here on a reservation not everybody has toilets flushing toilets we might have running water and what we can take showers and where we can boil water like that but the waters in though it's drinkable and everything the water is drinkable we have a do have a water plant here on Carosa it does still create the water that comes through and goes through a but like said about the sanitation and the water lines like the people that live farther down the rural area outside of the little town here in Crow Agency it's harder for them to have lines built for them to their homes so actually some people really still use outhouses they're still outhouses here so people in the reservations here and still using outhouses yeah some I mean I may be pretending to here yeah I'd say roughly 10 roughly and I'd love to see one sometimes you can look around out of your house oh we have running water we have this plumbing washes our yeah cuz we're local riding into town like say the farther you get outta the local then it's harder to get services and Lexi had a lot of it's government you know ability like the governor coming in and like a proof stuff so kind of little work gets it away sometimes Timon and then and then where's the money you know that they're gonna say we don't the money yeah I mean it gets appropriated and then they say it's gonna come in Manny might come like five to seven years down the road but during all that time you're just living kind like a third world people need to know how we're right here in America we're right here in Montana another wise rich stage with land and resources and everything but yeah people are still using an outhouse yeah because they they need more money and services here exactly yeah but we do all the people you know we adapt everybody had learned to adapt and you know we live and we get by yeah but if it's helpful to come down here and buy some food get to know the people here and and show the love yeah like here on their reservation it's a third-world country but people actually read that we survived most of it like say the crow reservation I would say it was like a swampland most of this is swamp man so when it rains it floods here when it snows and it melts it really floods here I mean like it's probably the land has a government who gave to the crows drive-in you know sit here live here and we'll bring you food we'll bring your rations and you know a lot of stuff didn't follow through all the time and so sometimes that's why I left like maybe it's some of the Warriors went off the reservation to hunt kill bring it back it was just to help their families and the tribe survive because sometimes the government didn't come through with what they said they were gonna do and we got to still live you know so true it's so true they'll use them you know scoop everything on the inside has the Buffalo that will take it and use it for something the body of the Buffalo has a purpose for the natives and that's why the natives got like kind of distressed when a lot of the hunters would come around and kill oh that's our food supply but that's where they killed him yeah yeah you know and I head up the supply to the for the natives so that's one of the things about the Buffalo in how we treat the land and how we treat the earth you know we always take care of everything and we always try to do some buffalos going around there's a buffalo pasture and actually it's a more by buildings by ranch and Billings but we there is a buffalo pasture and I froze on it but I'm gonna try some of these nachos here hello who's this I did Jana nice to meet you I'm Jason it's so easy from that generator yeah well there's a train coming by do you like chains I nice to meet you is

all to get a feeling of how it is to to get to know the Native American lands and what's happening right now what's going on right now all we hear about is older building pipelines through it the

oh I see that's that's best oh you got the chili and the biscuit well I'm making a YouTube video on Crow Agency yeah I want to show what life is like here if people don't know so I'm gonna show it huh tell me please what can be done is you what I'm thinking is push our young people to the attitude to education and education can I think it can solve it because because you are not quite man's equal until you're educated so so if we're gonna go by the white man's ways like the legislators the poor branch of the government then we have to have our young people educated to do things right and to to monitor the leaders what they're doing so we need the young people educated young people young people will care enough to take care of their their native lands a lot of people out there don't realize that it's it's a different police force out here it's a different government there's different laws different chords it's all different it's it's it's a it's decided but like that light a light it quite a tribe so it's a different system that we have that lot of us don't understand okay and there's no idea okay no something jitters no-bake love healthy are you still making coffee or did you set it down oh okay okay I just didn't understand well I might be back tomorrow anyway okay okay okay see you thank you alright so I was I got it was too late to get coffee so I didn't get a coffee a lot of people in the course of Ages a lot maybe like I'm gonna say like 40 percent 35 to 40 percent are all that much or either dirt they're in in their you know their family house which is only about two

our genuine experience on the reservation because a lot of people misunderstand us because they always think that the government takes care of it the United States government but they're not they're
