The man crying is George Gillette, tribal chairman of the Mandan, Arikara, and Hidatsa tribes of North Dakota in 1948. He was forced under the threat of death of all his people to sign over the tribes’ homeland on the fertile floodplain of the Missouri River in order to build the Garrison Dam.
The final settlement legislation denied tribes’ right to use the reservoir shoreline for grazing, hunting, fishing or other purposes, including irrigation development and royalty rights on all subsurface minerals within the reservoir area.
After the dam was constructed, the three tribes were scattered, their communities and extended families flung to different shores of the 200-mile-long Lake Sakakawea.
This is what your freedom and democracy is built on.

At the Dressing Table

the silent eye contact from across the room.
^ & the flirty glances especially when there are people around
always turning their head if your name is mentioned
will always eventually turn the conversation topic to you
immediately looking for your reaction once telling a joke
^ caring how you perceive things
cares for your opinions more than their own
the first smile you share.
^ not a small half-smile, a real smile. differs between a hearty laugh, a beaming smile with their teeth, or the smirk after a kiss.
slowing becoming like each other
the subtle things they notice.. become not so subtle.
^ "i've always loved the freckles on your cheeks, and your eyes, and your lips. no i just like you."
finding things that remind them of you.
"i like this candle." "i know." "how?" "it reminded me of your perfume."
being shy around each other
"why are you so jittery?" "i just saw _____, they're so beautiful."
denial. realization. obsession.
^ their responses to falling in love w/ you, sometimes in that exact order.
denial: "whaaaaattt, i don't like _____..." "yeah, and i don't breath oxygen."
realization: all the butterflies in their stomach, why their gaze always falls on you, the urge to seek your approval.
& good ol' obsession.

The sad thing about Fandom is that a black character can be the most feminine character in the piece of media, but in the hands of non black Fandom members they either become a total narcissistic bitch or so masculinized in an effort to make them more "dominant" as if a black women can't be badass and soft. Just stop
