A Native American hiker is seen in a video writhing on the ground of a national park in New Mexico after being tasered by a ranger.
The circumstances that preceded the recent altercation in Petroglyph National Monument are disputed. The hiker Darrell House claims he was trying to be socially distant from an approaching group of other visitors, which is why he ventured off the trail on December 27.
The National Park Service said Tuesday he and a woman were confronted for being in an off-limits area and also provided false information to a ranger who initially tried resolving the issue through "educational contact and simple warning."
The video, recorded by House’s sister, shows him screaming on the ground while a ranger lunges at him with the taser. At other points, the ranger warns he will use the taser again if House doesn’t get down on the ground and place his hands behind his back.
"I come here to pray and speak to my Pueblo Ancestor relatives. Even though I’m Navajo and Oneida, I honor this land," House said in a statement posted on Instagram along with the video. "Here, you will see a white man abuse his power… This could have been a civil interaction. The law doesn’t work for the Indigenous."
