The crying man in the suit is George Gillett. And he cries at the signing of a forced deal between the US government and the indigenous inhabitants of reservations in North Dakota, which took place in the summer of 1948. 22 thousand hectares of reserves were needed by the government to create the Harrison Dam reservoir.  At once three tribes lost their ancestral places of residence and centuries-old shrines, which went under water. In return, they were offered not much money and settled on the lands of neighboring tribes. Under the flooding were: three settlements including the tribal capital, forest lands that allowed to stock up on firewood without hassle, and the only hospital on the reservation. According to the contract, the hospital was obliged to be built in a new location. The indigenous people have been waiting for her for a long time. In 2003, the tribal committee appealed to the U.S. Senate with a demand to fulfill a 50-year-old government promise...  The hospital was built.
