In comparison to other 2 Native American tribes (the 2 other tribes that you have researched in the site "Native North America"), how the Oglala Lakota tribe from the Pine Ridge reservation described in the movie "We're still here", are culturally alike or are they different to other Native American tribes? In your posting, you should address the question of ways of life, beliefs and cultural practices.
