What's that?
1:10:01
You want me to tell them?
1:10:04
I'll tell them the story.
1:10:05
Get over there. He wants me
to tell you a story. Go ahead .

1:10:09
Sit down over there.
1:10:13
Now you kids,
you know the name of this lndian?

1:10:17
This guy's name is Big John. . .
1:10:19
. . .and he's a friend of mine.
1:10:24
Do you know what kind of lndian he is?
1:10:27
A Miwok lndian.
1:10:36
Do you know how to say " Miwok" ?
1:10:38
That's good .
1:10:39
The lndians used to own this country.
1:10:42
They owned it.
This was their home.

1:10:46
I think I found
one of their arrowheads once.

1:10:49
You did?
1:10:50
Hold on to it. If Big John finds out,
he'll come and get it.

1:10:55
The Miwok lndians. . .
1:10:56
. . .they lived off the land .
1:10:59
They had, like, you know . . . .
They had their own crops.

1:11:02
They hunted and built tepees
out of wood like this.

1:11:05
And, you know,
they had kids just like you.

1:11:09
Big John was the chief of them .
1:11:11
Do you know what a chief is?
1:11:13
The chief is the boss.
1:11:15
Right.
The chief is the boss.

1:11:17
The chief is a good boss.
1:11:19
And a good boss knows
how to take care of his people!

1:11:33
He's too close to the kids.
1:11:35
The white man came along . . .
1:11:37
. . .and he wanted to take the land
away from the lndians.

1:11:41
And so he killed
all of Big John's people.

1:11:44
He killed his friends.
1:11:47
He killed his family.
1:11:52
He's got his rifle drawn on the kids.
1:11:54
That made Big John so sad, he stood
at the top of the valley, like this:

1:11:58
He looked down and saw everybody.
Everyone he loved was killed .
