ak: mental and spiritual preparation. the red paint pattern is traditional of the red cloud historical figure and of my father’s native american background and name. red is strength, energy, vibrance, blood, power .
red cloud: deliverance is a film that i highly recommend. if you’re interested in learning more about jake red cloud, a small trailer for the movie will be released within a week or two with breanna lakatos speaking while showing some clips from the movie, along with appearances at comic con ny this year by alex kruz as red cloud promoting the comic book on behalf of somaly mam foundation. you can also learn more on imdb .
red cloud: deliverance
was a visual movie from the beginning. words weren' t needed to express the situation at hand and deliver intrigue from the moment jake red cloud knocked on single mom jeanine parker' s front door for a room for rent. within the first five minutes of the movie, i knew that ms. parker wasn' t up for the mother of the year award. but i wasn' t sure mr. red cloud was a reputable character either. his vague answers, his need for shelter, his cash on hand were all red flags... or were they? as we learned more about jake red cloud, we also learned more about jeanine and her little girl ann, played by the wonderfully talented breanna lakatos. those sincere brown eyes and cherubic voice could melt anyone' s heart, including mr. red cloud' s .
jake red cloud, a contractor of native american origin with a mysterious past develops a spiritual bond with ann parker. ms. jeannine parker, ann' s mother, rents to red cloud to help supplement her lifestyle of cigarettes, alcohol, soap operas and bad boys. when ms. parker' s boyfriend gets out of line with ann, red cloud steps in, finding something that has been missing within himself and gaining an unwanted physical obsession from jeannine. the dynamic of the relationship between the three changes with dangerous results for all involved. the film picks up a few years after issues # 1 and # 2 of

the comic book which were published with proceeds benefiting the somaly mam foundation .
red cloud: deliverance
is a harsh reminder of the fact that children are not always cherished. the unexpected violence was a bit shocking, but an integral part of the movie. again, a film to help raise funds to save children from a horrific way of life is a film i want to support .
between the red sea and the army that brings death is not a good place to be .
but the most overlooked aspect of the red sea moment is this: it was god who put them there .
fort robinson and red cloud agency national historic landmark nomination for the national register of historic places. prepared by steven lissandrello and sarah j. pearce, historic sites survey, national park service / rocky mountain region national park service, sep 27, 1976 / jul 20, 1983
you wouldn’t know by looking at me because i’m so pale i’m practically translucent but i am native american. i’m cherokee (echota tribe) and creek. i’m have enough native american blood that i have a card and as a child i participated in indian class where those of us who were part native american learned about our heritage and culture. why am i telling you this? because red cloud: deliverance presents the story of the native american mercenary jake red cloud leaping off of the pages of the
red cloud
comic book which is based on the native american spiritual warrior traditions (quechua / sioux). the director and executive producer, sioux cloud, is a member of the lakota tribe in south dakota, the other writer and lead actor alex kruz is of ecuadorian decent (mixed native american - quechua, italian, and spanish), the music video director hezues r. who worked on some of the principal scenes and creative portions is also of mixed south american decent while the movie and comic book were produced by donations from several good hearted people of native decent and penned by native american female artist nikkol jelenic. so basically i was super excited to see this and it didn’t disappoint .
very rarely does your career fall into your lap unless you work very hard at it. a career may catch you by surprise and before you know it, one gig lands you to another gig and it turns into your career. this is what happened to actor alex kruz, an american, but with ecuadorian descent. his most recent accomplishment is his film “red cloud: deliverance” which won the spirit of comic con award at the 2014 wizard world film festival. kruz sat down with latin trends to discuss more about his evolving career .
as i previously stated, this was a visual movie. yes, there was enough dialogue, but only when truly needed. the cinematography and the body language of the actors gave more information than lines could have possibly done. alex m. kruz, who played jake red cloud, conveyed a real sense of loss as the camera studied his expressions. flashbacks to his former life revealed who he was and why he had become this new version of jake red cloud. the real embodiment of dialogue rested upon the heartfelt words of an eight year old little girl who flawlessly and believably portrayed a needy, yet wise beyond her years, child .
maybe, just maybe, they thought, the past wasn’t so bad after all. maybe slavery was better than uncertainty and defeat and whatever punishment was waiting for them back in egypt. these people cried out daily for deliverance, yet when deliverance came they did not at all like what it looked like. there was finger - pointing, there was second guessing, but the fact is that god placed them in that exact spot in that exact moment so that he could perform a miracle that would define himself and his people forever .
13 moses answered the people, “do not be afraid. stand firm and you will see the deliverance the lord will bring you today. the egyptians you see today you will never see again. 14 the lord will fight for you; you need only to be still. ”
every believer at one point or another has a red sea moment, a situation from which there is no escape, and only an undeniable act of god can lead you safely out .
jake red cloud, a native american gun for hire with a mysterious past, needs a place to lay low. the little girl where jake lives, ann, befriends him and soon the two develop a spiritual bond of friendship, which leads jake to the revelation that something in his life is missing. before he can act his past threatens to extinguish his life and the lives of those around him .
when god has us firmly entrenched in a red sea moment, it requires much prayer, much faith, and much trust. our deliverance is not going to come quickly or easily, but it will come in such a way that god is glorified. it will become a moment that sustains you through a lifetime of pain and a moment that can be celebrated in times of joy. it’s ok to be afraid, but not ok to let that fear overtake your faith. for faith is stronger than our fear, and god is stronger than any situation we face .
while it ended rather abruptly, red cloud: deliverance is an amazing film with just the right touch of everything from heartwarming to heartrending. i was confused at first at the appearance of the yakuza but then absolutely delighted – 1) because i’m a fan of japanese cinema and 2) because i love the mix of cultures happening in this film. it was just somewhat unexpected. jake is definitely a great hero type, with the perfect combination of stoicism and vulnerability, and the actor portraying him (alex kruz) does a wonderful job (the fact that he is one of the writers and aspects of jake were based off him and his life certainly doesn’t hurt). jen waite, who plays jeannine, seemed wooden at times but after a while i came to the conclusion that it was more of an acting choice meant to further embody the character’s numbness and disillusion with life .
for those of you who know me, you know my attention span has an inverse relationship to my age: the older i get, the shorter the attention span. a 30 minute movie is my cup of tea. again, for those who know me, you know my children are the center of my world... for the good or the bad, that' s the way i' m wired. i like to think that most moms are wired the same way. unfortunately, as was brought to my attention by filmmaker alex m. kruz, this is not always the case. alex, also a parent, finds himself living thousands of miles away from his daughters. and as a parent, as well as previously part of the military, alex was privy to situations that you and i can only hope are not real. alex' s art and filmmaking are a way of expressing his loss of not having his daughters close by as well as helping to raise funds to save children from horrors that we everyday parents would consider incomprehensible. all the proceeds, thus far from
red cloud: deliverance
have gone to the somaly mam foundation. you see, the main character' s name, jake red cloud, lost his family while trying to save children from the human trafficking and sex slave trade. i truly didn' t think this was an actual issue, but to my sad realization, it is. the somaly mam foundation was founded to help eradicate this situation .

perhaps crazy horse’s attitude touched a nerve: red cloud and spotted tail, two chiefs who had once been among the greatest warrior defenders of the lakota ways but who had adopted many white ways, grew jealous of the power and influence crazy horse enjoyed because of his steadfast independence. they remained great leaders of their people and had come to believe that the best way to preserve the lives of their people while preserving as much of their culture as they could was to work with the u. s. government. nevertheless, it was a hard decision to make, and i’m sure they did so with a great degree of ambivalence. so, crazy horse’s recalcitrance must have been that much harder to take. they treated him with suspicion and took the u. s. army’s side against him. even his great friend who had fought at his side at the little bighorn, little big man, had switched loyalties. he had visited washington, too. he was one of those that assisted in the attempt to confine crazy horse on the day he was killed .
jake red cloud answers an ad for a room and meets jeannine parker and her young daughter, ann. jeannine, a woman who could give dina lohan a run for her money in the bad parenting department, is an alcoholic, chain smoker who ignores her daughter in favor of a string of men who, frankly, are just skeezy. at first jake stays to himself and it’s only when we learn of his tragic past via flashback that we understand why but eventually he warms up to ann (played by breanna lakatos, who did a phenomenal job in her heartbreaking portrayal). unfortunately, jeannine also warms up to him after he handles a situation with one of her roughneck suitors. jake wants nothing to do with jeannine (who is heartbreaking in her own way because it seems that something so clearly went wrong in her life and she seems so tragically unhappy) and jeannine is angered by his rejection. but then jake’s past catches up with him in the form of yakuza (members of traditional organized crime syndicates in japan, basically the japanese mafia) and everything goes to hell .
i drive the car around the fort, getting a good look at the layout and buildings until i find what i seek: a historical marker near apparent early fort buildings from the eighteenth century. i park. the grounds are lovely and well - maintained, and so are the buildings, from rough log structures to the tidy clapboard ones painted white and green to the large lodges, halls, and offices of brick, adobe, and stone. originally camp robinson, this establishment remained in almost continuous use from its founding in 1874 as a military security outpost for the second red cloud agency, to its reassignment as a training ground and quartermaster remount depot, breeding, training, and caring for up to 12, 000 mules and horses at any given time prior to and for the duration of world war ii. it was the regimental headquarters for the two african american black regiments in the then - segregated u. s. army, first the ninth cavalry, then the tenth, from 1887 to 1907. from 1885 to 1916, in fact, most of the troops stationed here were black .
crazy horse led his people to the red cloud agency next to fort robinson and surrendered there on may 5th, 1877. for the next few months, rumor, gossip, accusations, negotiations, and whispers of plot and conspiracy whirled while crazy horse retreated ever further into himself. he was a man of action, not words, and he was impatient with all this hubbub. he had lost his only child, his beloved daughter they are afraid of her, about four years before, and her mother, his wife black shawl, was suffering from tuberculosis. so long as he could not fight nor be free, he wanted to be left alone as much as possible. but the rumors that crazy horse was plotting to assassinate general george crook and start another war intensified, and crook was determined to have him arrested, even assassinated if need be. later inquiries showed that the rumors were unfounded, that there was no evidence that crazy horse planned to do otherwise than keep his word not to fight the whites anymore. jealousy, infighting, betrayal, and poor translations, both accidental and deliberate, all contributed to the drama .
when i find myself in a red sea moment, i don’t typically anticipate the sea drying up and everything turning out ok. i don’t expect to walk out on dry land where there was a sea. i can’t imagine a scenario where the powerful army of pharaoh is going to be swallowed up in defeat. what i do see are bills that are due, i see danger, i see pain, i see discouragement, i see defeat, and it is all i can do to decide if i am going to swing away at the enemy knowing i am not going to make a dent, or just toss aside all god has taught me over a lifetime and surrender .
after some controversy over what to do (put crazy horse in prison as he was, now in his death struggle? leave him lying where he was as his friends began to hear the news and gather in anger ?), he was carried back to the adjutant’s office on the red blanket he had been wearing. he refused the white man’s cot offered to him and asked to be placed on the floor instead. crazy horse was given morphine to ease his intense pain and he died, after lingering for long and painful hours, in the presence of his father and stepfather. he spoke forgiving words for most involved with his death except little big man, who had, it seemed, not only betrayed crazy horse but all of his people .
crazy horse has become one of the most widely revered native americans in history, if not the most. many recognize similarities in the life and death story of jesus christ to that of crazy horse: each was called by the supernatural to be a deliverer of his people, each beheld visions and went out to the wilderness to seek them; each was warned by the supernatural of the nature and manner of death but boldly continued his mission nonetheless; each refused to be tempted away from his purpose by a vision of earthly reward and the sight of a glorious city; each was a loner and dreamer but also a charismatic leader; each called on his people to eschew a life of promised ease and comfort to follow him on a harder road; each preferred simplicity in dress and humility in comportment; each died, falsely accused and betrayed by a friend, with a stab wound in his side. these themes resonate in our american culture generally, in which christianity plays such a significant formative role. there are so many great native americans that we remember and admire but perhaps crazy horse remains preeminent in our collective memory for these perceived christlike qualities. in a strictly historical sense, these similarities are exaggerated and perhaps unwarranted, but in a cultural and spiritual sense, they stand out to us because of their resonance with our most cherished beliefs and values. native american communities too, many of whom have adopted christianity and especially those doctrines which echo their traditional faith, perceive crazy horse as everything from a stalwart warrior to a messianic figure, a great symbol of hope, deliverance, traditional virtue, and spiritual renewal for their beleaguered peoples .

latin trends (lt): you are an actor with many talents. can you highlight one thing that you are known for from each of your talents like movies and televisions ?
alex kruz (ak): regarding movies and television, i have a very diverse and physical background, everything from military, competitive mma, languages, music, and extreme endurance sports. as an actor it allows me to do a lot of different things that i enjoy, so for me it is hard to pick just one highlight from my career .
ak: i liked the x - men, because i always believed man was capable of so much more. scientists believed 97% of our dna was junk for many decades but only now are we finding this “junk” functions like solitonic / holographic computers using dna patterns to store information similar to language, vibration, frequencies. so there must be higher levels of programming accessible to us .
ak: roles with a wide range of physical and dramatic intensity are what stimulate me. one second i’m jumping three stories out of tree with an axe holding my blow short not to injure the other actor the next i’m doing an intense family scene with a tv actress. it’s about challenge .
ak: i got into acting by accident and never planned for it as a career. it was my therapy and i took it with the same fearlessness as the rest of my life, but if i could have changed one thing it would have been to be more constant in my training like i am now. it’s a muscle .
our purpose: to unmask the struggles, showcase the triumphs and rich diversity of the culture with content that informs, entertains and inspires .
the movie addressed the importance of family or sometimes our cavalier attitude toward those around us. jake was not the knight in shining armor to deliver jeanine from her lowly life and help shake her up to see the error of her ways. jeanine was more interested in which male could buy her things or satisfy her current wants. but jake had his own needs and wants. these aspects of jake' s life were ultimately molded as his relationship changed and grew with ann. this, however, didn' t seem to impact jeanine in the least. a sad realization .
the one constant in this movie reflected how important children should be to anyone; mother, father, any adult. children are very perceptive, processing everything around them and internalize what is happening. to protect and nurture our children is our ultimate goal, but as was the case of both jake and jeanine in this movie, they couldn' t always do this. sometimes circumstances were out of their control, but when they were not, how did they pay the ultimate price ?

i wake up at fort robinson, just a little ways east of the village of harrison in northwest nebraska. i drove here last night from wounded knee, which takes about one hour and forty - five minutes. i camped out in the backseat of the car, where i continue to keep my sleeping bag, camp pad, and coats ready to make a cozy nest, in a parking lot behind one of the museum’s lodges. it’s a soft pinkish - blue morning, a little warm with a cool breeze blowing. it rained a little last night and everything feels fresh and clean, except me. i’ll soon find a place to wash my face, brush my teeth, and change into clean clothes. but right now, all i want to do is stretch my legs, drink my little thermos of coffee, and go out exploring in this calm and lovely early summer morning .

crazy horse was among the most revered war leaders of the oglala lakota and their allies in the great sioux war of 1876 - 1877. he had long been successful at resisting white settlers’ and the u. s. army’s attempts to force him onto a reservation or to adopt their ways. he was one of the bold young warriors who led a contingent of soldiers into an ambush near fort phil kearny, wyoming. this 1866 engagement, called the fight of the hundred in the hand by the lakota and the fetterman fight by the united states, was the worst defeat of the u. s. army by native americans until the battle of the little bighorn ten years later. 81 u. s. troops from fort phil kearny and a few civilians lost their lives there. this battle was the culmination of a series of skirmishes and raids on unwelcome white settlers and forts such as this one set up to protect them .
for a long time previously, white and native american people traded with one another and enjoyed mostly good relations on the great plains. however, settlers began flooding in in ever great numbers, disrupting buffalo migrations, depleting game, clearing timber, and putting up fences. at a certain point, the white presence came to be seen as a menace to the way of life that crazy horse, sitting bull, and those who followed them believed was divinely and wisely arranged. why resort to grubbing in the soil and putting up fences when wakan tanka, the creator or great spirit, had given the people such rich herds of game, which, together with the rich stands of timber and plentiful flowing water, provided all the nourishment, clothing, and shelter one could need, on vast swaths of beautiful land where the people could roam as freely as the animals? the bozeman trail, which cut across this good land, was a major route for these white settlers and for a time, they passed through it mostly unmolested. but when the trickle became a flood, the situation changed from a matter of hospitality and mutual benefit to one of survival. would any reasonable person continue to welcome guests once they’ve begun to ransack their home, raid their fridge, take their most prized possessions to sell, and block their passage from room to room ?
crazy horse was having none of it. like sitting bull, he distrusted white people and disdained their way of life. it seemed stunted to him, caged, lacking soul and nobility. unlike sitting bull, he made no concessions to white ways until forced to do so for the survival of his band; even then, he did the absolute minimum necessary. we don’t know what he looked like since he refused to have his picture taken; he was unimpressed with most white - made goods and would accept no bribes; he absolutely refused to visit washington, d. c. as his fellow great chiefs had done because, as he observed, the experience changed them. they were dazzled and bewitched by what they saw, so they lost their independent spirit, their sense of who they were .
crazy horse wasn’t only an independent spirit when it came to white ways. he was very unusual within oglala lakota society. he was a reserved man in a gregarious culture; he dressed simply at all times, when warbonnets, elaborate jewelry, and other showy regalia were the usual garb of warriors in battle; he didn’t scalp the enemies he killed; he didn’t take a wife until he was in his thirties when most of his fellows had started a family by age twenty; though he fought bravely and ferociously, he was also methodical in battle, planning his moves carefully and stopping to shoot accurately when a whirlwind, showy style of fighting was more customary; he spoke little of his own exploits when tales of personal heroism were the usual topic of conversation after a good fight. but his fame grew because the daring and magnificence of his exploits made him an irresistible topic of conversation for others .
the fetterman fight and the battle of the little bighorn were spectacular victories for crazy horse and his warriors, but he would never again enjoy that level of success in battle against the white invaders. his last fight with the u. s. army was at the battle of wolf mountains, which began when the soldiers attacked his band in the dead of winter. much of the fighting, in fact, occurred during a blizzard. the army decided to end the fighting, once and for all, to make an additional show of invincible strength by showing that they were willing and able to pursue the war even in the most extreme weather. the fighting was fierce and, though there was no decisive winner, the lakota and cheyenne’s losses were heavy. the camp, too, was suffering greatly from hunger and the intense cold. crazy horse was defeated, finally, not in battle, but by observing the suffering of his people. he, like so many great chiefs before him, surrendered so that his people, if they could not enjoy liberty, could at least survive .
stones placed in formation near the crazy horse monument and guardhouse. it appears to be an unfinished memorial: when doing research for this piece, i found an article from 2015 which discussed plans for a new memorial for crazy horse and his entire band, 899 lovers of freedom who were forced to surrender here in 1877. the outer stones to mark four cardinal directions are in place, though they are not the massive ones described in the article, and the central stone has another smaller one beside it for offerings. the concrete walkways and large plaques containing the names of the people are not in place. perhaps this simplified version was put in place as the often long, tedious, sometimes indefinite fundraising efforts for the more elaborate one continue .
left: adjutant’s office, where crazy horse died, to the left of the guardhouse where he was stabbed; all of these buildings are reconstructions based on written records, photographs, and archaeological evidence. so you can see the actual distance between the adjutant’s office from which crazy horse walked to the guardhouse. right: interior of the adjutant’s office with informational sign
the rumors got so bad that crazy horse feared that he would be executed or, worse, arrested and removed to some distant land of the whites away from his people, so on september 4th, 1877, he wrapped up his sick wife, and he and a few friends fled to his old friend spotted tail’s agency about forty miles east. he sought protection and advice as to what the whites were thinking, and he didn’t think this would betray his promise, of surrender. after all, he was going to an agency. nevertheless, lieutenant jesse m. lee was ordered to retrieve crazy horse, and he escorted him back to fort robinson the next morning. they went first to the adjutant’s office .
stone monument, dedicated in 1934, near the site where crazy horse was bayoneted. i placed this little spray of sage here, picked in deep ravine at the little bighorn battlefield from which crazy horse led his charge to split custer’s forces. this maneuver was key to the successful outcome of the battle. you can see that the morning breeze is about to waft the sprig away
crazy horse understood that he was to have a chance to talk things over with u. s. army officials and clear things up. lee was pretty sure of his innocence regarding all those rumors of plots, conspiracies, and warmongering, and promised crazy horse an interview with the white authorities which he didn’t have the authority to arrange. lee hoped he could persuade the higher - ups to talk to crazy horse before deciding his fate, but it was not to be. unequivocal orders came down for crazy horse’s immediate arrest instead. when crazy horse was led from the adjutant’s office into the guardhouse, he showed no sign of resistance, walking hand in hand with the captain. but when he stepped in the door, he saw the bars of the prison, and he realized this was a trap: there would be no talks, only imprisonment and then, who knows? so crazy horse pushed himself out the door, and as soldiers and his old friend little big man tried to restrain him, he pulled out his knife and slashed little big man’s arm. another soldier near the guardhouse lowered his bayonet at the ready, and when the opportunity came, he lunged and stabbed. the blade pierced crazy horse’ side and into his kidney, and he fell .
working model at the visitor center for the crazy horse memorial, black hills, south dakota. when asked once where his lands were now that the lakota were being driven out, crazy horse answered, ‘my lands are where my dead lie buried’ .
one last thing: three days ago, i climbed black elk peak in the black hills, south dakota. sylvan lake is nearby, and i had stopped there at a lakeside hotel to seek recommendations for the best hike to the top. one of the routes departs from the short of sylvan lake, but not the longer, more scenic one which i had chosen. as a teen, crazy horse went to sylvan lake with his father on a vision quest, one of the most important in his life, in which he was instructed how to paint his body with hailstones and his face with lightning for battle; to dress simply and wear his hair flowing down; to take no scalps; and generally to live a life of bravery and modest virtue. i wanted to find the exact place he went, but it would take a level of meticulous research and mapping that i had run out of time to do before i left. when i return to the black hills, i will make a point of seeking out that place .

throughout scripture, we witness gods amazing acts and numerous miracles. but with all the miracles of the bible, the exodus from egypt is the one that most defines god’s redemptive plan. in times of celebration and in times of deep trial, god is repeatedly referred to as “ the god who led you out of egypt ” as a remembrance of who he is, what he has done, and what he remains capable of doing .
in exodus chapter 14, the israelites are fleeing from egypt when they found themselves on the verge of being brought back into slavery or even killed. the sea in front of them and an army behind them, they felt hopeless and impossibly trapped .
we likewise find ourselves in places where there is no solution, no answer, and no way out .
in the case of the israelites, their freedom and their very lives were all but lost. an entire nation of people were given a taste of freedom only to now find themselves at a dead end, the enemy closing in, and no escape. there was nothing to save them - apart from an act of god .
see also: in a time of turmoil, it' s time to refocus .
god intentionally put them there, and god who knew exactly how this was going to play out. there was never a doubt .
1 then the lord said to moses, 2 “ tell the israelites to turn back and encamp near pi hahiroth, between migdol and the sea. they are to encamp by the sea, directly opposite baal zephon. 3 pharaoh will think, ‘the israelites are wandering around the land in confusion, hemmed in by the desert. ’ 4 and i will harden pharaoh’s heart, and he will pursue them. but i will gain glory for myself through pharaoh and all his army, and the egyptians will know that i am the lord. ” so the israelites did this .
10 as pharaoh approached, the israelites looked up, and there were the egyptians, marching after them. they were terrified and cried out to the lord. 11 they said to moses, “was it because there were no graves in egypt that you brought us to the desert to die? what have you done to us by bringing us out of egypt? 12 didn’t we say to you in egypt, ‘leave us alone; let us serve the egyptians’? it would have been better for us to serve the egyptians than to die in the desert! ”
it is not up to us to fight, it is up to us to follow. we have to trust that god not only knows our situation but knows the outcome. the ability to be still when everything in you is screaming to do anything but be still is the essence of faith, and it is then that we see the greatest miracles .
do you want your life to be a testimony of god’s greatness? get ready for god to position you by the sea .
are you asking god to work in mighty ways in your life? get ready for the sound of pharaoh’s army approaching from behind .
god occasionally wants us in a position where we have no way out, no solution, no options, no choice but to trust in him. as frightening as it is, most miracles only come when we need a miracle .
david slaying goliath. the walls of jericho falling. daniel in the lion’s den. jesus rising from the dead. and the parting of the sea :
30 that day the lord saved israel from the hands of the egyptians, and israel saw the egyptians lying dead on the shore. 31 and when the israelites saw the mighty hand of the lord displayed against the egyptians, the people feared the lord and put their trust in him and in moses his servant .
