06.11.2013 - Interpretation of dali48

 

Who are they, the descendants of Native Americans? - The photographer Eric Klemm traveled through North America for a year and sought an answer - 25000 kilometers by car and plane from Alaska to New Mexico in the American South: EK photographed the descendants of the native Indians of more than 120 tribes - His portraits speak of deep sadness, but also of hope...

 

For ARTE programs focusing on "the Indian country," - ARTE magazine talked to the photographer about his impressions...

 

ARTE: Mr. Klemm, do you like Karl May?

 

Eric Klemm: Of course I have read him as a child, and was impressed - When I emigrated to Canada, I suddenly had contact with real Indians - Then I thought back again to Winnetou and Old Shatterhand. But Karl May was a dreamer - What he wrote was true, perhaps long ago - Today, American Indians are America's Sinti and Roma: they are oppressed and discriminated - with no money - no job - often without native land - homeless…

 

ARTE: What is the life on the reservation? 

 

EC: Reserves are the saddest places I've ever seen - You need to imagine them like run-down council estates - Governments have taken the land of the Indians - with beautiful forests and rivers, and gave them some tiny insignificant area instead - and put on miserable little houses. Indians are very tightly connected to their home country (see dali48 and Bees and "Flora and Fauna" since ca. 2000 etc. - see “If the bees disappeared off the face of the earth, man would only have 4 years left to live.” ― Albert Einstein) 

 

Each tree is important to them (see dali48 and Trees and "Flora and Fauna" since ca. 2000 etc. - “If the Trees disappeared off the face of the earth - mankind would only have little left to live healthy” etc)... 

 

The reserves have never filled with life, because Indians are miserable there - I once met an old man, who said: "I'd rather live on the streets than on the reservation" - That says it all... (ARTE, 2/2010)

    "They are still: Indians are very tightly connected to their home country" - they just have to stand up and move on, they are wonderful people on the reserves but the rest have a long way to go, your are right dali48, they need to take hold of their lives again... get their schooling and teach their children the real way an Native should live, proud of their believes and hold on to the good things"...
