in our five year

investigation of mysterious brain
5:18
injuries reported by Us.
5:21
National Security officials. Be.
5:23
Injured include White House staff,
5:25
Cia officers F B I
5:28
agents, military officers and their
5:30
families. Many. Believe that
5:32
they were wounded by a secret
5:35
weapon that fires are high energy
5:37
beam of microwaves or ultrasound. This.
5:40
Is our fourth story. And.
5:42
For the first time, we have
5:44
evidence of who might be responsible.
5:47
Most. Of the injured have fought
5:49
for America often in secret. And.
5:51
They're frustrated. That. The
5:54
Us government publicly doubts
5:56
that an adversary is
5:58
targeting Americans. One.
6:01
Of them is kerry. Were.
6:03
Disguising her and not using her
6:05
last name because she's still an
6:07
F B I agent working in
6:10
Counter Intelligence. She says in Twenty
6:12
Twenty One she was home in
6:14
Florida when she was hit by
6:16
a crippling force and Bam! And
6:19
sudden my right ear it was
6:21
like a dentist. Drilling. On
6:23
Steroids that ceiling when it
6:25
says tickets to close her
6:27
eardrum. It's like that you
6:30
times ten. It was like our sights.
6:32
It's metallic drilling noise, And. It
6:34
knocked me forward. it like. A
6:36
forty five degree angle this way and. She says
6:38
she was by a window in her laundry
6:41
room in. My. Right ear was
6:43
line of sight. To. That window.
6:45
While. This thing was happening my ear and when
6:47
I leaned forward it's on a knock. knock me
6:50
over but not me forwards. Immediately
6:52
felt pressure. And pressure
6:54
and pain. Started. Courses
6:56
from inside my right
6:58
ear. Down my jaw and
7:00
my next An intimate says. At
7:03
the same time as B I,
7:05
Agent Kerry told us the battery
7:07
in her phone began to swell
7:09
until it broke the case. Finally
7:12
she passed out on a can't.
7:15
Because of chest pain, she was
7:17
checked by a cardiologist and in
7:20
return to duty. And. I
7:22
remember complaining so of my
7:24
colleagues for months after that.
7:27
I. Felt like had early alzheimer's. Short.
7:29
Term Memory. Long Term memory.
7:31
Since using memories multitasking, my
7:33
baseline changed. I was not
7:35
the same. Person. But. Harrys
7:38
story matches those we've uncovered
7:40
over the years. It was
7:42
like this piercings. Ceilings.
7:45
On the side of my head it was like I remember It was
7:47
on the right side of my head and I. I
7:50
gotten like vertigo. Olivia.
7:52
Troy was Homeland Security Advisor to
7:54
Vice President Mike Pence in our
7:56
twenty twenty two referred. She told
7:59
her she. He had outside
8:01
the White House and then severe
8:03
pain started So I like in
8:05
it sir. If you put a
8:07
cue tips in foreign you bounce
8:09
off her eardrum or imagine taking sharp
8:11
pencil from Skype, how can that?
8:13
And this man told us he was
8:15
among the first publicly known cases
8:17
in twenty six teams from our embassy
8:20
in Cuba. That's how the incidence
8:22
became known as Havana Syndrome. He's
8:25
medically retired from an agency
8:27
we can't name. blind in
8:29
one eye. And struggling for
8:32
balance. What we're hearing about now
8:34
is a major medical study for
8:36
the government was led by Dr.
8:38
David Rail Months of Stanford University.
8:41
In our Twenty twenty two report,
8:43
he told us what we sound.
8:45
Was. We thought clear evidence.
8:48
Of an injury to the auditory
8:50
and the stimulus system of the
8:53
brain. Everything's. Starting
8:55
with the inner ear
8:57
where humans Percy's. Sound.
9:00
And sense balance.
9:03
And. Then translate those perceptions
9:06
into. Our brain
9:08
electrical signals. His
9:11
studied sound directed post
9:13
radio frequency energy appears
9:15
to be the most
9:17
plausible mechanism. For. Example
9:20
of focused beam of
9:22
microwaves or acoustic ultrasound.
9:26
More. Than one hundred officials
9:28
or family members have
9:30
unexplained persistent symptoms. If
9:33
I turn to sauce my gyroscope, his office and
9:35
slaves like a step behind where I'm supposed to
9:37
be. So. I'll turn sea sauce and will literally walk
9:39
right into the wall or the door frame. Now.
9:42
For the first time, the
9:44
case of F B I
9:46
Agent Carry suggests which adversary
9:48
might be responsible. She.
9:51
Spoke with the of the ice
9:53
permission but wasn't allowed to discuss
9:55
the case she was on when
9:57
she was hit. We have learned
9:59
from. The other sources. One.
10:01
Of those cases involve this
10:03
mustang. Going
10:06
a hundred and ten miles an hour. In
10:13
Twenty Twenty near Key West
10:15
Florida, deputies tried to stop
10:17
the Mustang for speeding. It
10:19
ran fifteen miles until it
10:21
hits spike strips laid in
10:23
it's path. A
10:38
search of the car found notes
10:40
of bank accounts say thank. You
10:43
discover saying seventy five thousand.
10:46
And. This device that looks like
10:49
a walkie talkie ten or
10:51
race the car's computer data
10:53
including it's Gps record. There
10:55
was also. A Russian
10:58
passport was a first name is
11:00
telling me I sell my life.
11:02
Vitali Kovalev was the driver from
11:04
St. Petersburg, Russia not Florida. Why
11:07
did you run the be honest
11:09
when I don't know why you're
11:11
right and we don't know why
11:14
he ran, but what we learned
11:16
suggests he was a Russian spy.
11:19
Will. Be see here is bitterly
11:21
cold. It's sitting exactly this
11:23
formula. Cristo Gross have
11:25
is a journalist When legendary
11:27
for unmasking Russian plots in Twenty
11:30
Twenty, he uncovered the names of
11:32
the Russian secret agents who
11:34
poisons lead a mere pittance rival
11:36
Alexi know vol me. Rose
11:39
has his lead investigator for
11:42
our collaborator on this story,
11:44
The Insider, a magazine by
11:47
Russian exiles. We. Asked
11:49
him to trace Vitali Kovalev.
11:51
He started in the Military
11:54
Institute historic Radio Electronics with
11:56
a particular focus on use
11:58
within the Moon. During a
12:00
bomb of micro electronics he had
12:02
all the technology know how that
12:04
would be required for somebody to
12:06
be assisting and operation that requires
12:08
hi to college and and then
12:11
all the sudden up to working
12:13
for two years in a military
12:15
institute he up and decides to
12:17
become a chef. Kovalev.
12:19
The emigrated to the U S
12:21
and worked as a chef in
12:24
New York and Washington D C.
12:26
even appearing at Far Left in
12:28
a T V cooking segment stress
12:31
or Srs. S Wonderful!
12:33
Sas. But Kovalev
12:35
was actually a Russian military
12:38
electrical engineer with a top
12:40
secret security clearance. Ten someone
12:42
like Kovalev simply decided to
12:45
drop all of that him,
12:47
become a chef. It
12:49
is not an easy job to just leave
12:52
that behind once you're in the military. it's
12:54
and you've been trained and the Ministry of
12:56
Defence has invested in you. You remain at
12:58
their beck and call for the rest of

13:18
Live pled guilty to evading
13:20
police and reckless driving. He.
13:22
Was sentenced to thirty months. While.
13:25
He was in jail. Terry said
13:27
she was hit in Florida and
13:29
a year later when she awoke
13:31
to the same symptoms in the
13:33
middle of the night. In
13:36
California. Is. So like I was
13:38
stuck in this state. Of
13:40
like this orientation not able to
13:42

13:45
my whole body was pulsing. We.
13:48

14:31
issues. In. The midst. Of
14:34
the incident where computer screens
14:36
just literally stop working or
14:38
go flicker on and off.
14:40
Do you know whether there
14:42
are other. F B
14:44
I agents who have also suffered
14:46
from these anomalous health and fitness.
14:49
There are other F B
14:51

14:54
just agents analysts. I represent
14:56

14:58
person who was impacted in
15:01

F B I personnel who believed they
15:05
were hit overseas in the last decade
15:07

15:09
F B I Counter intelligence people in
15:11
addition to carry. The. One thread
15:14

15:25
to this employee. Was
15:27
they were all doing something
15:29
relating to Russia? Vitale.
15:32
Kovalev served his time and and
15:34
twenty twenty two went back to
15:37
Russia, ignoring American warnings that he
15:39
was in danger because he'd spent
15:41
so much time with the F
15:44
B I. Cristo
15:46

16:07

Intelligence says publicly there is
17:55
no credible evidence that an
17:57
adversary is inflicting brain injury.
18:00
On: National Security officials. And.
18:02
Yet more than one hundred
18:04
Americans have symptoms that scientists
18:07
say could be caused by
18:09
a beam of microwaves or
18:11
acoustic ultrasound. The. Pentagon
18:13
launched an investigation run by
18:16
a recently retired Army Lieutenant
18:18
Colonel. Greg. Ed Green.
18:21
Has never spoken publicly, Until
18:23
now. Are. We
18:25
being attacked. My. Personal
18:27
opinion? Yes. By whom. Russia.
18:32
Greg. Add Green ran the
18:34
investigation for the Defense Intelligence
18:36
Agency. He would not
18:38
discuss classified information, but he described
18:40
his team's work from Twenty Twenty
18:43
one to Twenty Twenty Three. We.
18:45
Were collecting a large body
18:48
of data ranging from signals
18:50
intelligence, human intelligence, open source
18:53
reporting. ah, I'm anything regarding
18:55
the internet, travel records, financial
18:58
records, you name it. Unfortunately,
19:00
I take it into specifics based
19:02
on the classification, but I can
19:04
tell you at a very early
19:06
stage. I. Started to focus on
19:09
Moscow. Can. You tell me
19:11
about the patterns you began to
19:13
see. One of the things. I.
19:16
Started to notice. Was
19:18
the caliber of our officer?
19:21
That. Was been impacted.
19:24
This wasn't happening to our
19:26
worst or our middle range
19:29
officers. This was happening to
19:31
our top five ten percent
19:34
performing officers across the Defense
19:36
Intelligence Agency And consistently there
19:38
was a rush and nexus.
19:41
There. Was some angle where they
19:43
worked against Russia. Focused on Russia
19:46
and done extremely well. What?
19:48
Has been the impact on American
19:50
National secured. The. Impact
19:53
has been that. The.
19:55
Intelligence officers in our diplomats
19:57
working abroad. Or. Been
19:59
removed. Their posts with dramatic brain
20:02
injuries their been neutralized. Tonight.
20:04
We're reporting for the first time. An.
20:07
Incident at last year's Nato
20:09
Summit in Lithuania. A
20:12
meeting that focused largely on Russia's
20:14
invasion of Ukraine and was attended
20:16
by President Biden. Multiple.
20:19
Sources tell us that a senior
20:21
official of the Department of Defense
20:23
was struck by the symptoms. And.
20:26
Sought medical treatment, We.
20:28
Told Gray get green what we'd learned,
20:31
It tells me that there are
20:33
no barriers on what Moscow will
20:35
do on who they will attack.
20:37
And. That if we don't say
20:40
says head on the problem is
20:42
going to get worse. The problem
20:44
first appeared in public in twenty
20:46
six teams. Us officials reported being
20:49
hurt in Cuba and the incidents
20:51
became known as Havana Syndrome. But.
20:54
We have learned it
20:56
started two years earlier when
20:58
at least four Americans reported
21:01
symptoms in Frankfurt, Germany.
21:04
There is also evidence of
21:06
what could be revenge attacks.
21:09
For. Example in Twenty fourteen.
21:12
Three. Cia officers were
21:14
stationed in Ukraine. Vladimir.
21:16
Putins obsession. Twenty.
21:19
Fourteen was the year that
21:21
a popular revolt over through
21:23
prudence preferred leader. Later.
21:26
Those. Cia officers went on
21:28
to other assignments. And.
21:30
Reported being hit. One.
21:32
In Uzbekistan. One. In
21:35
Vietnam. And. The third
21:37
officers family was hit in
21:39
London. The. Think if
21:41
it is Russia. Investigative reporter
21:43
Cristo grows have believes he
21:45
knows who's involved in twenty
21:48
eighteen Gross. Have was the
21:50
first to discover the existence
21:52
of a top secret Russian
21:54
intelligence unit. Which goes by
21:56
a number. Two. Nine, One
21:59
Five, Psi. These. Are
22:01
people who are trained to
22:03
be versatile assassin send sabotage
22:05
operators They're trained in can't
22:07
surveillance, had trained in exposes,
22:09
they trained and using poison
22:11
and. To. College equipment. Actually,
22:13
it's to his inflict pain
22:15
or damage to the targets.
22:18
Gross. Have works with our
22:20
collaborators on this report, a
22:22
magazine called The Insider and
22:24
Germany's Der Spiegel. He
22:27
has a long track record
22:29
uncovering Russian documents and gross
22:31
have says he sound one
22:33
that made link to nine
22:35
one five five Two and
22:37
directed energy weapon. And when
22:40
I saw it, I literally had tears in my
22:42
eyes because it was spelling out what they had
22:44
been doing. It's. A piece of
22:46
accounting. An. Officer of to
22:48
nine one five five received
22:51
a bonus for work on
22:53
quote. Potential. Capabilities
22:55
of non lethal acoustic
22:57
weapons which told us
22:59
that this particularly on
23:01
at had been engaged
23:03
with somewhere somehow empirical
23:05
tests of. A. Directed Energy
23:08
Unit. There it is there. It is written
23:10
down and black and white. It's the closest
23:12
to a receipts you can have for this.
23:15
We've. Also found that Russia's
23:17
to Nine one five Five
23:19
may have been present in
23:21
Tbilisi, Georgia when Americans reported
23:24
incidents their. Do. You believe
23:26
that you were attacked? Absolutely.
23:29
She asked us to withhold her name
23:31
for her safety. She's. The
23:33
wife of the Justice Department official
23:35
who was with the embassy in
23:37
Tbilisi. She's. A nurse
23:40
with a Phd in anesthesiology,
23:43
On. October seventh, Twenty Twenty One. She
23:45
says that she was in her
23:47
laundry room. When. She was blindsided
23:49
by a sound. As. I'm
23:52
reaching and to the dryer on
23:54
I am. Completely.
23:56
Consumed by a piercing sound
23:58
of that I can the
24:00
only describe as. When.
24:03
You listen to a movie
24:06
and the main character is.
24:09
Also. Consumed by the sound after.
24:11
A bomb goes off. That.
24:14
Is similar to the Sound. The I
24:16
heard and it just. Pierce.
24:18
My ears came in my left
24:21
side. Felt. Like it came
24:23
through the window into my left
24:25
ear. I immediately self fullness in
24:27
my head and just a piercing
24:30
headache. And when I
24:32
realized that I needed to get out of
24:34
the laundry room. I. Have. Left.
24:37
The room and when and
24:39
to our bedroom next door
24:41
and projectile vomit is in
24:44
our bathroom. We have
24:46
learned that hers was the
24:48
second incident that week. Sources
24:51
tell laws earlier in the
24:53
neighborhood or Us official their
24:55
spouse and child were hit.
24:58
We. Have also learned of a
25:00
phone call it was intercepted nearby.
25:03
A man says in Russian. Is
25:05
it supposed to have blinking green
25:08
lights? And. Should I leave
25:10
it on all night? We.
25:12
Have no idea what he was
25:14
talking about. But the next day
25:17
the incidents began. Sources:
25:20
Tell us that an
25:22
investigation centered on this
25:24
Russian. Albert a very
25:26
on off. His name
25:28
on travel manifests in phone
25:30
records appears alongside known members
25:33
of Unit To Nine, One
25:35
Five Five. He. Is also.
25:38
The. Son of the commander. He
25:40
was groomed to become a member
25:42
of units since he was sixteen.
25:45
His numbers in the phone books of
25:47
all members of the unit clearly his
25:49
more than just the some of the
25:51
boss. He's a colleague of these people.
25:54
Grew. Said sound Alberta very own
25:56
offs phone was turned off during
25:58
the two Billie. The incidents.
26:01
But. Our sources say there is
26:03
evidence someone in Tbilisi. Logged.
26:06
Into a very on offs person or
26:09
email during this time. Most.
26:11
Likely gross. Have believes a very
26:13
on off himself. Placing:
26:15
Him in the city. We.
26:17
Believe members of unit to offer five
26:19
were there in order to facilitate. Supervise.
26:22
Or maybe even personally
26:24
implement attacks on American
26:26
diplomats and American government
26:29
officials using. An acoustic
26:31
weapon, After you were able
26:33
to get out of the laundry room call
26:35
your husband for did you do then. I
26:38
went downstairs. I first looked on our
26:40
security. Camera which is right. The side
26:43
our front door to see if
26:45
anyone was outside. There was a
26:47
vehicle right outside of our. Gate I
26:49
took a photo of that vehicle.
26:52
And notice the it was not a
26:54
vehicle that I recognize and I went
26:56
outside. Did you see anyone around the
26:59
vehicle? I did. We
27:01
sent you a photograph of
27:03
Albert. A very on off.
27:06
And this is the picture that we
27:08
sent you. is it. And I wonder
27:10
if that looks anything like the man
27:12
you saw outside your home. It
27:15
absolutely does. And when
27:17
I received this. Soto I
27:20
had a visceral reaction
27:22
that. Made me feel sick.
27:26
I. Can are absolutely say for certain
27:28
see that it is this man but
27:30
I can tell you. That
27:33
even so this day looking at Han.
27:37
Makes. Me: Feel.
27:39
That same visceral reaction
27:41
and I can absolutely
27:43
say that this. Looks.
27:46
Like the man that I saw on the street. This.
27:48
Forty year old wife and mother.
27:51
Was. Among the most severely injured
27:53
people we have met. My
27:56
him. Headaches and
27:58
brain fog continues. Later.
28:00
On in to that weekend I.
28:03
Started having trouble walking. Down the
28:05
stairs. specifically. at night. I had
28:07
trouble finding the steps to get
28:10
down the stairs so my coordination
28:12
and vestibule. Or system started
28:14
just really falling apart. She.
28:17
Was medically evacuated and now
28:19
doctors say she has holes
28:21
in her inner ear canals,
28:23
the vestibule or system that
28:26
creates the sense of balance.
28:28
Two. Surgeries put metal plates
28:31
in her skull. Another
28:33
surgery is likely. It's
28:36
devastating. It's
28:38
absolutely deaths and. Despite.
28:41
Experiences like hers. The
28:43
office of the Director
28:45
of National Intelligence said
28:47
last year it's very
28:49
unlikely of foreign adversaries
28:51
responsible. Bought. The D
28:54
and I also acknowledge that
28:56
some intelligence agencies had only
28:58
low or moderate confidence in
29:00
that assessment. This. Month,
29:02
the National Institutes of Health
29:05
reported results of brain scans
29:07
and I ate said there's
29:10
no evidence of physical damage,
29:12
but the medical science of
29:15
so cold anomalous health incidents
29:17
remains vigorously debated. For.
29:19
It's part the Director of
29:22
National Intelligence says the symptoms
29:24
probably results. From. Pre
29:27
existing conditions, conventional
29:29
illnesses, and environmental
29:31
factors. Attorney Mark
29:33
Zaid represents more than two dozen
29:35
a h I can see. What
29:38
do you make of the Intelligence community?
29:40
Assessment? So. I've had
29:43
access to classified information relating to
29:45
age I. I. Can't reveal it.
29:47
I wouldn't reveal it. I. Will
29:49
tell you that I don't believe
29:51
it to be the entire story
29:53
and I know of information. That.
29:58
Undermines. Or contradict. What?
30:01
They are saying publicly, are you saying
30:03
that the government wants to cover this
30:05
up. There. Is
30:07
in my view, without a doubt, evidence
30:09
of a cover up? Now some of
30:11
that cover up is not necessarily that.
30:14
Oh, We. Found a weapon. And.
30:17
We don't want anybody know about. What?
30:19
I've seen more so is.
30:22
We. See. Lines. Of
30:24
Inquiry. That. Would.
30:26
Take us. Potentially. To
30:29
answers we don't want to have
30:31
to deal with. So
30:33
we're not going to explore any
30:35
of those avenues, you know, If
30:39
my mother had seen what I
30:41
saw. She. Would say it's the
30:43
Russians stupid. Grigg! A
30:45
green who ran the military
30:47
investigation told us he had
30:49
the Pentagon support. But. In
30:52
the Trump and Biden Administration's
30:54
he says the bar for
30:56
proof was set impossibly high.
30:59
I. Think he was set so high. Because.
31:02
We did not as a country
31:04
and a government. Wants to
31:07
cease some very hard truths?
31:09
And four them. Can. We
31:11
secure America. Are. These
31:14
massive counter intelligence failures. Can.
31:16
We protect American soil and are
31:18
people on American soil. Are.
31:21
We being the tax. And
31:23
if we're being attacked, is that an
31:26
act of war? After
31:28
what he learned in his classified
31:30
investigation. Greg. And Green
31:32
retired from the army to
31:34
start a company to help
31:36
the victims. He hopes to
31:38
channel government contracts into treatment
31:40
programs. As with
31:43
all spy stories, much is
31:45
classified, and what remains is
31:47
circumstantial. None of the
31:49
witnesses tonight wanted to speak. Some
31:52
fear for their families. But
31:54
all felt compelled to shine a
31:56
light on what they see as
31:59
a war of shadow. a war
32:01
America. May. Not be winning. If
32:04
this is what we've seen with the
32:06
hundreds of case of anomalous health visitors,
32:08
I can assure that this has become
32:11
probably put his biggest victory In his
32:13
own mind, this has been. Russia's
32:16
biggest victory against the
32:18
West. In. Terms of the
32:20
Long Term. Would you consider
32:22
this to be life altering? Absolutely
32:27
life altering. For.
32:30
Our whole family. Welding

33:57
Monday. A
34:05
horse has played a central role in
34:07
the history and mythology of many Native
34:09
American tribes. The. Sony Crow, Black
34:12
Sea Sue, and other tribes first
34:14
saw horses when Spaniards brought them
34:16
to this continent five hundred years
34:18
ago and of use them in
34:21
hunting and in battle ever since.
34:24
collectively. These tribes call
34:26
themselves the Horse Nations. As.
34:28
You're about to see men and
34:30
women from those tribes also use
34:33
horses in a sport that sense
34:35
of dub America's original extreme sport.
34:38
The. Tribes call it Indian. Really?
34:41
It's. Roots date back centuries and
34:43
is one of the most exciting,
34:45
dangerous, and inspiring things you're ever
34:48
likely to see. What
34:53
he circumstances, he starts at the
34:55
start in Indian. Really as many
34:57
as six thoroughbred resources are brought
35:00
to a start line drawn in
35:02
the dirt, the horses or bear
35:04
back know settles or stirrups. Their
35:07
writers were no protective gear at
35:09
the sound of a warm. The
35:13
leap a board and tear down the
35:15
try. To
35:20
actually get on a horse their back and
35:22
run as fast as you can around. Is
35:27
easy That easy? Yeah, Kin
35:30
real bird is a sort of senior
35:32
statesmen as Indian really. And
35:35
announces races all over the American
35:38
West. These horses are able to
35:40
run like you wouldn't believe. But
35:47
the hard part comes from. Jumping
35:50
off week was after the
35:52
Writers race one lap around
35:54
the half mile trek. They
36:00
all speed into a sort of
36:02
a coin pit road were teammates
36:04
are waiting with fresh horses for
36:07
what's known as the Exchange. So
36:12
he has to come in gear down enough.
36:15
And. Then angle that horse is. A
36:19
good sauce and takes. One to
36:21
three steps and he gone to the
36:23
bath. A dead horse. Oh
36:29
there he goes. Kin
36:33
real bird make said flying leap
36:35
from one horse to another sounds
36:37
simple. It
36:40
is not. It's more like a
36:42
dangerous, chaotic dance with riders and
36:44
courses from six teams all trying
36:47
to do the same thing at
36:49
the same time in the same
36:51
space. You
36:54
have what they called a set of man. Their
36:59
job primarily. Is
37:01
the have that horse in a proper
37:03
position as a writer comes in. Simultaneously,
37:07
you have a guy who's usually
37:09
a nibble guy on his seat
37:12
and he's got a headset horse
37:14
coming in at fifteen miles an
37:16
hour. That
37:22
horse. he really doesn't care
37:24
about your feelings. A
37:30
third member of the pit crew
37:33
is holding the third force because
37:35
the riders must do another leap
37:37
for another last. It's
37:41
exciting. But. It's it's
37:43
dangerous to them down. A
37:48
lot in. Almost
37:52
every he will have some of the
37:54
guys getting run over. Can
37:59
you imagine the from. Line of Kansas
38:01
City Chiefs all combined and
38:03
wanted just run over you.
38:08
That's what is going to feel like because
38:10
that horses. A. Thousand pounds,
38:14
Injuries to both horses and humans
38:16
are part of the sports. The
38:18
team the best avoid collisions and
38:20
wins that third lap on a
38:22
third horse can be forgiven for
38:24
showing off at the cities of
38:26
our. Can
38:29
Real Bird says the roots of
38:32
modern Indian really are in the
38:34
for stealing reads: the tribes once
38:36
staged against white settlers and each
38:38
other. These young men is
38:40
a very different. Nations would travel what
38:43
it was middle of the night they
38:45
would come and take that price horse.
38:48
And hide tell it back to their
38:50
home country. A chaise horses
38:52
as they were running cause they
38:54
were being pursued. And
38:56
so that's pretty much the origin
38:58
of the indeed, really. A
39:01
sport that we know today. Races.
39:03
In the organized sports were first
39:06
conducted in the early nineteen hundreds.
39:09
When. It first started out of the majority
39:11
of races were happening and in more in
39:13
within their own communities made of communities on
39:15
and reservations. I've. Seen some
39:17
races: Kelvin Gooseberries a member of
39:20
the Some Tribe seven he eats
39:22
and president of an organization called
39:24
the Horse Nations Indian Really Council.
39:31
What we do a force nations as
39:33
we basically took a lot of the
39:35
the races that world within the tribal
39:37
nations brought him out into the mainstream.
39:40
Now we're bringing on to bigger states. Last
39:46
summer's. Indian really circuit crisscross
39:48
the west and climaxed and
39:50
casper Wyoming with a three
39:52
day championship present that celebrated
39:55
tribal culture and song. And
39:59
from. And dance
40:01
and offered more than one
40:03
hundred thousand dollars in prize
40:05
money thanks to sponsorship from
40:08
a casino own by the
40:10
Northern Arapaho tribe. Is
40:13
it included a women's division? It's
40:18
cheap laughs and two horses rather than
40:20
the three and three and mins races.
40:25
with the athleticism and dangerous
40:27
are every bit as evidence.
40:32
There's also a kids Indian really?
40:35
Set with writers as young
40:38
as six, racing on ponies,
40:40
climbing on and falling off.
40:45
Those are the guys that grow up
40:47
to be the great writers. that great
40:49
set up. men because they're all horseman
40:51
and it's like that in every reservation.
40:56
On the Bless Seed Reservation in
40:59
Montana we met Urban Carlson and
41:01
his son Says who have been
41:03
competing in Indian Relays four years.
41:07
Chairs is one of the most seasoned riders
41:09
on the summer circuit. For
41:12
really making it good
41:14
into sports practice, practice
41:16
practice and years of
41:18
experience. Another
41:25
team we follow through the summer circuits
41:27
is led by twenty three year old
41:30
Tuesday Washington from the Sunni Tribe in
41:32
Wyoming. For
41:34
younger sister, Zero is the writer
41:36
for their women's team booze seal
41:39
a close connection to their horses.
41:42
And or Monday and as
41:45
is not going away. Him
41:47
while an intentional or thing
41:49
rather than things and things
41:52
seem to be better says
41:54
adding that his How this.
41:58
Loosen. The Lid room. The same
42:00
bond and obligation to care for his
42:03
horse. It's really sad, especially because we're
42:05
all here for one purpose. and it's
42:07
it's the horse setting up over his
42:10
Mason hails from the Crew Creek Sioux
42:12
Reservation in South Dakota. When
42:15
I was younger as I didn't
42:17
know widens to feel such anger
42:19
and animosity towards my own people.
42:21
I I didn't want to be
42:23
Native American and as a horse
42:25
helped me you know reconnect with
42:27
my culture and be proud of
42:29
land and proud of where I'm
42:31
from. Are you feeling you didn't
42:33
like being a Native American burner?
42:35
Where I'm from on the reservation
42:37
you see a lot of things
42:39
that make you not proud of
42:41
why I'm from alcoholism, drug addicts
42:43
and drug abuse or suicide. Suicide
42:45
rates on the reservation or
42:48
four five times the national
42:50
average my father or the
42:52
content alcoholism. So
42:54
it really hit home. And said the
42:56
horse seem to realize yep this is
42:58
sensitive You think it does your for
43:00
lot of young. Need American Faisal?
43:02
There's a lot of kids out there
43:04
that are just that are just looking
43:06
for for that doorway. There's
43:10
little glamour in Indian relate and
43:12
lots of hard work. Every team
43:14
is so funded and nearly everyone
43:16
has a day job to help
43:19
pay the bills, but the sport
43:21
is on the rise. Prize money
43:23
is increasing and sixty seven teams
43:26
competed in last summer's championships. In.
43:30
The quality of horses is rising
43:32
to. Team's
43:35
screwed a major restricts like Churchill
43:37
Downs home of the Kentucky Derby
43:40
to buy sprinters well suited to
43:42
Indian. really. Cadets.
43:45
That would be the ultimate. A.
43:47
Demonstration race before the
43:49
Derby. That. Would be. A
43:52
d my goal loss. Each.
44:00
He competed in once each
44:02
day of the championships. There
44:04
cumulative time from the first
44:06
two days determine whether they
44:08
made the final championship heat
44:10
on Sunday. Is
44:13
the race usually won or lost?
44:16
In the exchange? Yeah, It's
44:21
like a really team beaten
44:23
track and field, but his
44:25
Indian really exchanges involves six
44:27
riders. He can forces eighteen
44:29
other humans and a cloud
44:32
of dust from what I've
44:34
seen as like chaos. chaos.
44:37
And apply to be on. Tuesday
44:41
was a keys women's team made
44:43
the championship seat and Casper. And
44:47
her sister Zero had a clean exchange
44:49
in that race. They finished a close
44:51
second out of a demoralized or is
44:54
it makes me more determined than me.
44:56
My parents have ya hear? Mad as
44:58
Hell by. The
45:04
first place women's relay team came
45:06
from the cool though reservation in
45:08
Washington State with rider to lead
45:10
time. And why is this your
45:12
first championship. Won the
45:14
first one. All right,
45:17
Sixteen and older. you
45:19
know, Seventeen. Seventeen. Are
45:22
you going through it again? Next year he had
45:24
been a good advice I can I wanted. To
45:28
see before we had was to Leo
45:31
winner He. Was. Her arms raised
45:33
in a pose, triumphs and string.
45:36
It is how we conduct to
45:38
the warriors of the pass. The.
45:41
Warriors of two hundred years ago. It's.
45:44
That same bloodline of that warrior. That.
45:46
Is was cursing through their blood. Over
45:51
three days since. We
45:55
watched Mason, Red Wing and his
45:57
team though some dirt pounding frustration
45:59
when an exchange went wrong. To
46:04
exhortation as another went right.
46:08
Says were always searching for that perfect
46:11
around. They didn't quite
46:13
find it in the finals. The
46:18
team that did. Was
46:21
the one we first met months earlier
46:23
on the Black Seed Reservation. Irvin Carlson
46:25
and his son says so we will
46:27
follow a new like all summer. I
46:29
used a combination of everything you've done
46:32
all all your social disease bragging rights
46:34
for a year or wire or as.
46:37
Far. As
46:40
a tribal elders sang a traditional
46:42
free. So in honor of their
46:44
victory and organizers presented them with
46:46
a check for twenty thousand dollars.
46:51
We noticed a group of kids
46:53
at the real on their ponies
46:55
watching intently. What? The
46:57
horse dung for me I know the horse
47:00
the do that for everyone a thousand times
47:02
over and than I am a firm believer
47:04
in it. I know for a fact that
47:06
some it's and bring our young men and
47:08
are young women back. It's
47:16
harder to focus and every these days. Thankfully.

Most christians today is Easter
48:30
Sunday. A day of
48:32
resurrection. Of the triumph of
48:34
light over darkness. And. Although
48:36
Orthodox christians won't celebrate Easter
48:39
for another month, It
48:41
isn't orthodox place of worship that
48:43
comes to mind. St. Nicholas

One. St. Tavern. The church lived
48:56
in the shadow of the World
48:59
Trade Center and nearly died under
49:01
it's rubble on September eleventh. Two
49:03
thousand and one. Kept.
49:05
Alive only by the face
49:07
and hope of it's tiny
49:09
congregation and the charity have
49:11
a much wider community. Today
49:14
the new St. Nicholas. it's
49:16
dome a glow with an
49:18
inner light. Sits. At the edge

of the World Trade Center. Resurrected.
