Potlatch 67 67: Our Ancestors Potlatched In Secret
Переглядів 4,8 тис.6 років тому
The Potlatch ceremony is an integral part of life along the coast of BC. With no knowledge of why Indigenous peoples Potlatched or what the meaning of giving away our processions meant, non-Indigenous officials made the decision to ban the practice. Now 67 years after the ban was deleted, not repealed from legislation, histories are being shared about the resilience of elders who Potlatched in ...

True teaching
A sense of well being for the community For all of us to share in the Chiefs kindness and generosity through Respect for the people. We hold our Chiefs High. High honor and high esteem. Culture is all based on Family and Respect. Much to say. Certainly must say. May the Lord Bless you All
Andy Callicum once told me. Our people are in a form of post traumatic stress. Direct result from the loss of the Chief structure Governing our people from the loss of our culture because of boarding school the conversion to Christianity and the loss of close connection to our God. Alcoholism addiction sexual abuse domestic violence He said we are now healing and adapting. The resilience of the people is a testimony of thier strength. He'd talk about the importance of sobriety potlatching and feasting. He'd say keep the drums rolling that Our Culture is Recovery period. Much to say many Great Memories with my Most respected Elders. Excellent project for the educational community. Much gratitude for the folks responsible.
God Bless Evelyn. She reminds me of the Late Andy Callicum. So much Love and Respect for and from our Elders. Thank you to the folks responsible for the making of this priceless video and project

Hello! I am wanting to share this video with my women's group students. I am a LMHC and ethnobotanist that has a minor in Native American studies. I try to be a good ally to First Nations and Native American community's by sharing what I can (with permission of course) that is NOT from me (white woman) but from different Peoples. Is this okay to share? Thank you for these teachings...I am really honored to have listened to this with my daughter (11yo).
niceeeeee
Get him or her to 67 subs.
this was very insperatinal you people in the comments are very rude
like it
With all due respect to Mrs. Everson, zi must , again respectfully, take issue with her statement regarding US "non inclusiveness", As an American, I can affirm that my country is actually very inclusive in that pretty much anyone who wishes to immigrate here is welcome to do so. We only ask that they do this through the proper, legal channels. That isn't a lack of inclusiveness, it's common sense & common practice among sovereign nations worldwide.
Thank you Dr. Voyageur, for sharing your knowledge and isight. I hope that future cultural events can somehow include opportunities for discussion between Indigenous and non-indigenous people about reconciliation and what it means to move us forward.
