I used to be so ashamed of being Inuit. I was adopted at birth, but Thankfully my adoptive family encouraged me to embrace my heritage throughout my life. It took me a long time to finally, truly, fully embrace that part of me but your music has helped me love myself fully
Snotty Nose Rez Kids are easily one of the greatest groups to ever exist!!! Giving you nothing but knowledge, power and wisdom!!! Love these guys energy and impactful messages!!🙏🙏💖💖
This made me so proud to be native. Thank you both, your music is helping me through such a hard time, i feel like i have no nobody to talk to and your music is making me feel better 😊 Msit No’Kmaq (For All My Relations in Mi’kmaq)
It’s hard, grew up outside the Rez of my dad and outside the Alaskan village of my mother. We can relight our ancestry. Stand up and be an unapologetic Native. I am, feeling better every year. Raised my boys with the little Native knowledge I had. They know the difference between America and Native America. Reach out, connect.
Greetings from a Latino. Much of Latin American culture comes from the Native cultures of our lands even in the U.S.A. Respect to all Natives from Canada to Argentina

honestly shoutout to SNRK because every since I was little I always wanted to hear someone sing about indigenous people, I’m really happy y’all are doing this🤍
Much love!!!! Proud to be a Okie from Muskogee, but much more proud of the fact that after a century of being swept under the rug or looked over or just intentionally fraudulently ignored, I am a chickasaw citizen living on a Native American Reservation.
I cannot say how much this resonates with my spirit!! Every time I see the land, I think of the indigenous people and I just want to cry. Thank you! ASÉ and Universal love to you all!🔥💛☀️
To me it speaks to me on more than one level like my soul is downloading information from my family by sound in spirit to remind myself of something lots of things and it really portrays through your music that you speak to your people and you know fully in a heavenly Faith way that your message only gets to those who are meant to hear it who are truly your family it feels to me like in what we would perceive as the future we were sent back here to hold those information in our own blood to make sure that all of unity and all of the universe was one to prevent the end tethering and unsewing the God's own story I feel that when you saying reminding ourselves not to lose ourselves in the dream that is to teach us the dance of life but to know that we're here in specific purposes and we are always where we were meant to be but we can't forget our true nature is to go back to the all and to make sure that it always will be thank you for yourself my name is Ashley Pearson but I renamed myself Arielle my dad is Thomas jay Pearson Gordon Wade McElroy helped guide me I remember the library of life it's literally the center the all God and your song helps conect me to that
As a Rasta Native...it's hard to find a medium to which I relate on every level. Because of you I've found my happy medium. Ty for representing every First Nations without judgement.
I really feel I connection to this music I'm not Native American I'm a native Gallo-Jerria or Gaul of the channel islands and we have had similar experiences from the English and the French over the past few century's so love and power to all people who have seen and felt the same
I'm the grandchild of a colonizer looking for a way to help right the wrongs of my ancestors. Can anyone point me in the right direction? I recently discovered your music and I love everything I've heard so far! Keep it up and if nothing else I'll keep listening. It's not YOUR job to educate me... I'm just lost is all.
I'll never be able to express what your music and lyrics mean to me. I try to compare it to Rumi, Langston Hughes, Mary Oliver... the poets I've loved before because I think of you as poets. Incomparable... "something else." Thanks for these moments that make me feel alive and connected and full of useful rage.

Genuinely the best thing I've heard in over a decade. You're doing your people proud. Brave, strong message here. Please keep doing what you're doing. Much love.
" Get over it " I've actually heard that from a doctor at one of the Appletree clinics..... the next time someone says that too you, ask them " ok how do you get over the fact you people went after our children... not just once, but twice.... once with the " Residential schools " and then again with the 60's Great scoop and everything in between " ??? How do you as a person justify going after children from age 5 and up ??? I gotta tell ya, it makes my blood boil...... going after the most venerable of us ???? Didnt have the balls to take on the adults ???? Cause you knew we'd kick your ass..... then the genetic targeting of the blood lines of our Great leaders....the sterilization of our women without permission, with the help of the RCMP ???? So exactly how do you get over that ???? Targeting children ??? is that not a crime against humanity ??? 50 short years ago in this country ????? I know, I am one of those from the 60's scoop..... raised white but native in heart and soul.... I remember the stories from my Grandmother about how they where " stealing our children "..... Personally, my thinking is more like " start paying rent of get off my land motherfucker "....... I'm a half breed.... but after watching these video's and others..... I finally understand why I am so different than those I've been around all my life....why words like " honor, respect, truth, " actually mean something to me.... why who and what I am is more important than money.... I've learned more about being native from your video's than I ever did at Wabano Center in Ottawa...got no help from them.... Dont let the name fool you, I was adopted, twice, Ojibwa and proud of it...
Hello brother ! I am choctaw raised white and white skin but native heart souls spirit and the blood that runs through my veins Always glad to see more that have been stripped of their heritage standing up
Johnny Averheart ah yes blame the people that are the after effect of the genocide? I may look white I may have had my culture stripped from me before I was born being my great great grandfather was placed in the boarding schools not allowed to see his native family I am not a “5$ Indian” I have tested up while talking about the loss of a culture I haven’t gotten to know in this life we are down the line of a Chief Big Knife and that’s all we know before the government forced a white name on our family we were “haksinchit abi” my skin matters not for it’s the ancestors blood in mine. And as I am the only one in my family that continues trying to revitalize tradition through the gentrification...it’s really sad, the whole reason they have done this to our people is to divide us. Because a divided nation cannot stand for itself against a bigger bully You think I have not lived lives in darker skin ? Been adopted out into a white family and murdered as a child between 50s and 60s is one I have recalled raped and murdered by those that raised me for not conforming though torn from my family, hatred in your heart blocks out those that are truly Brothers and sisters from the creator.. I know the pain from both sides. You think I want white skin ? You think I chose ? No creator does that who are you to fault the creator on what soul he places in what body ? He has a purpose for all..
Johnny Averheart Because Native identity isn’t just a racialized identity. Native identity is political. We are citizens of tribal nations. So we can’t just talk about our identities purely in racial terminology. Thinking about our identity as purely race-based is another tool to wipe us out. Cause you can “breed out” this notion of “blood” but you can’t “breed out” citizenship. There’s also a deep power issue here-who has the “right”
Johnny Averheart oh and the. Trail of tears my ancestors walked on for me to be born and continue our bloodline ? Because I came out white to you that’s all for nothing ?? Keep the attitude than you are closer to “paleface “ ideas and ways of thinking skin color doesn’t make anything because it’s the character of heart and way you choose to treat others I take care of elders for a living it’s a selfless job taking care of those that can no longer care for themselves you know nothing about me and judge me your sister by my skin ?? How colonial of you🤔 I stand with my ancestors and with our Mother Earth ✊🏼 that should be enough as I’m actually going to act during these crossroads what are you doing ? Trying to judge for the creator?? Because I got a line for you straight from SNRK “Only creator can judge me! And the rest can f*ck themselves “
Johnny Averheart But instead of feeling ashamed, I’m trying now to turn the tables and think that I, instead, am the colonizer’s worst nightmare. Because history has tried to eradicate my people by violence and force, enacted every assimilating and acculturating policy against my ancestors, let me grow up in white rural country, and erased all the visual vestiges of heritage from my face-but still chahta My ancestors gave their “x-marks”-assents to the new-so that I could be here, fighting back against misrepresentations, through a keyboard and the internet.
I love everyone of all nations and cultures. It's a shame any of our ancestors started hate in the first place. Can't believe it took centuries to figure it out. Love your music guys. 🔥✌😎🇨🇦
Modern Indigenous music is a great way to spread awareness of indigenous issues as well as indigenous accomplishments. Music has the power to change the false narrative that has been shaped by media and schools for decades
Fr link up with Savage Family, Ant Loc, Alas, choti maa, war of Incaza, kosmic force. Seowa family. Countless others. Got all my savages on my playlists. Love it!
Love this. I may be white but I have always loved the Native American way of thinking and the respect for the Earth and the artistry. For a while I thought I had a little Native American blood but DNA testing laid that to rest. My Great Grandmother on my Mom's side lived with the Native Americans down on the coast.
No I will not cut my hair it is a symbol of Pride it signifies how we survived 500 years of genocide. So I stand up Brave with my fist to the sky with a chest full of rage and a heart full of pride. We are still alive. It is the truth. I am the proof. Our blood flows through my daughter. Our fathers walked a trail of tears to protect us from the slaughter. So we dance to forgotten songs that are sung with forgotten tongues. In an attempt to stay connected to the very land that we are from. This fight is far from done. I am repping from the block. And I dont plan to fade away. I'm planted on Standing Rock. The Apache of Aztlan Have not written anything in 5 years. Checked this out and immediately picked up the pen and wrote this. Big props!
Profit Omega our hair is also used to feel movement around us that we can not see. Warriors hair was used in battle like how a cat uses it whiskers or a snake finds prey with it’s tongue. If you touch the very end of a hair strand you immediately feel it at the scalp.
I have family in North Carolina and in Oklahoma. It breaks my heart when I hear my dad tell me the stories about my great grandmother and how she was forced to change her name and not allowed to speak her native language (Cherokee). My father loved his grandmother but she would even let my daddy play with her hair... he didn’t understand until he got older why she was so cold
I'm not Native, in fact, I feel more disconnected from my past the more time continues. But I am LOVING the music coming from our Northern Neighbors. Going to a Tribe Called Red concert next Saturday, really looking forward to that, and I really hope I get a chance to see these guys too later down the line. Lots of love over here in So Cal for all of you!
I seen you guys on FNX and man y'all some of the best rappers I heard in a long time no joke you know as a black person I kind of feel some of your struggle
I don't normally listen to rap, but this... I can fuck with this! Tlazocamati (thank you) for sharing your heritage through your music; you've made a fan out of me!

I tink we must create or generate our own story like these gentlemen each one unique and we don’t need robots also..
cause some even within our own would like to little us then control us but we past carrot and stick treatement hope and fear..
like if you do this you get rewarded and if you do that spanky Nono b!
this may have worked long ago like long long ago but in the 21st century psychologically we are a bit more sophisticated for his unnecessary treatment..whoever tink they know betta then you for me is an open challenge to be rectified by test of the real kind no assumptions..
okay u a foot doctor sir! why your telling my moms that she should put piece of whatever’s between her shoe and foot to give height to one side to match other having one short limb?
you realize the shortness not due to bone discrepancies but the hip misaligned!?
why are you not going from above and bellow and making needed correction then meet st center line the hip complex and make final correction bringing true alignment which is impossible through cracking of back since you end up there for next two to three years yet whole time it’s tissue related pulling and those restriction from above snd bellow if found

My speakers are way up here in Caribou Maine!!!
This beat is pure gold
Much love from our Maliseet Savages!
I love everyone of all nations and cultures. It's a shame any of our ancestors started hate in the first place. Can't believe it took centuries to figure it out. Love your music guys. 🔥✌😎🇨🇦
a bangin' beat and a powerful message - much love and respect
Fire 🔥 my friends have a blessed evening from north side I’m gonna air this on the radio 📻

Modern Indigenous music is a great way to spread awareness of indigenous issues as well as indigenous accomplishments. Music has the power to change the false narrative that has been shaped by media and schools for decades
Fr link up with Savage Family, Ant Loc, Alas, choti maa, war of Incaza, kosmic force. Seowa family. Countless others. Got all my savages on my playlists. Love it!
I love alas
For real? What was the first one again? Aye!! Big love from Oklahoma Mvskoke Creek and OK Seminole Mvto! Thank you.
Love this. I may be white but I have always loved the Native American way of thinking and the respect for the Earth and the artistry. For a while I thought I had a little Native American blood but DNA testing laid that to rest. My Great Grandmother on my Mom's side lived with the Native Americans down on the coast.
No I will not cut my hair it is a symbol of Pride it signifies how we survived 500 years of genocide. So I stand up Brave with my fist to the sky with a chest full of rage and a heart full of pride. We are still alive. It is the truth. I am the proof. Our blood flows through my daughter. Our fathers walked a trail of tears to protect us from the slaughter. So we dance to forgotten songs that are sung with forgotten tongues. In an attempt to stay connected to the very land that we are from. This fight is far from done. I am repping from the block. And I dont plan to fade away. I'm planted on Standing Rock.

Profit Omega - beautiful ! ! ! Keep writing ! ! ! 👵🏻🐾💕🇨🇦
Profit Omega our hair is also used to feel movement around us that we can not see. Warriors hair was used in battle like how a cat uses it whiskers or a snake finds prey with it’s tongue. If you touch the very end of a hair strand you immediately feel it at the scalp.
I have family in North Carolina and in Oklahoma. It breaks my heart when I hear my dad tell me the stories about my great grandmother and how she was forced to change her name and not allowed to speak her native language (Cherokee). My father loved his grandmother but she would even let my daddy play with her hair... he didn’t understand until he got older why she was so cold
I pray for you big brother thanks keep it up grace be given to your success keep it up never stop get momentum to take the top charts

I'm not Native, in fact, I feel more disconnected from my past the more time continues. But I am LOVING the music coming from our Northern Neighbors. Going to a Tribe Called Red concert next Saturday, really looking forward to that, and I really hope I get a chance to see these guys too later down the line. Lots of love over here in So Cal for all of you!
Thank you so much for this and bringing in to the light the things that have been forgotten for a new generation.
