By now most of the internet has seen the viral video of Native American veteran Nathan Phillips and MAGA hat-wearing high schoolers at the Indigenous Peoples March in D.C.

Indian Country Today compiled several videos that clearly show the Black Hebrew Israelites jeering at the Covington students, and Phillips approaching. But from there, the accounts of what exactly happened split. According to an interview with the Detroit Free Press:
