Nathan Phillips demonstrated peacefully on Friday, as a participant of the "Indigenous Peoples March" in the U.S. capital. In front of the Lincoln Memorial, the 64-year-old native experienced something, what makes him pensive: The former Vietnam soldier encounters young people who have previously participated in a March of opponents of Abortion.
On the Videos is to see how the majority of Teenage white stand Phillips. A puts himself in front of the natives staring at him with a smile, while Phillips sings incessantly, and to his drum beats. In the case of the group, it is obviously supporters of President Donald Trump : they are wearing hats with the Slogan "Make America Great Again".
From the "Washington Post" says the war veteran, that it had become uncomfortable. He thought that he had to stop get out of that Situation, and his song at the Memorial. "I tried to get there, but the Boy with the hat has me blocking the path." Phillips has also heard how the young people "Build that wall!" chants. "But this is indigenous Land, there should be no wall."
school of Kentucky are investigating the incident
In the US, the incident makes for strong reactions. The democratic members of Congress, Deb Haaland, which has indigenous roots, tweeted: "The display of blatant hatred, disrespect and intolerance by the students is a Signal of how good morals are under this government will expire." It was heart-breaking. And this man had finally set his life for the Nation.
This Veteran put his life on the line for our country. The students’ display of blatant hate, disrespect his, and intolerance is a signal of how common decency has decayed under this administration. Heartbreaking. https://t.co/NuPnYu9FP4

pop star Pink is also a comment: "shocking and extremely disrespectful." She also asks what will done about it.
the group obviously conservative young people are students of Covington Catholic High School from the state of Kentucky. In the meantime, the school management has released a statement in which she apologized for the behavior of your noisy students. The action should be investigated, and disciplinary measures are not excluded.
Alison Grimes, the democratic Minister of the interior of Kentucky, shaken by the behavior of the student. "This is not the Kentucky we know and love," tweeted you, among other things, and calls for measures by the school administration, but also by the teacher staff.
This morning I was alarmed by circulating videos of young Kentucky students taunting and harassing Native Americans at the Indigenous People's March on the National Mall. #LoveNotHate pic.twitter.com/dsg3qLaNt9

What is interpreted by some as a pure hostility, not shown in further descriptions so clear. Phillips himself is to reach out to the young people, such as other video recordings of the scenes. Compared to MSNBC, he said he had drummed and prayed that the Demonstration could be peacefully terminated. Previously, the young people were taken, apparently against the protesters.
