This was a great show with a great cast of Dancers. Rocked the house. I included the monologue because that truly tells the story of the dance.

Absolutely incredible, beautiful, and moving. Your talent and endurance is humbling.
So beautiful to watch...I love the hoop dance...It is so ...well for me calming ..I could not take my eyes off of it...I saw it in real life way back when I was a teen and never forgot it.,and never will..
@@racheallange2056 thank you very much. I am glad you enjoyed and hope you get to see it again in person
@@nspbh49 Thank you and your welcome ...I hope to one day...My great great grandmother was half Cherokee..Other then my red/blond hair ...I look just like her...I have seen her.photo...
I live in Bolton, Lancashire, England. I have watched this many times over the last 4-5 years. I love it.
Thank you. That is a true honor. Maybe one of these days we will be able to share in your part of the world.
It is truly wonderful to watch! Thank you you so much for so generously sharing your culture with us! 🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️❤️
I think the greatest thing a person can do is to share their culture with another person of another culture. I can't speak for everyone but I recognize the beauty and depth of the Native American Culture and even as an artist there is nothing wrong with finding entertainment as well as enlightenment through music and cultural dances. I feel blessed that despite all the negative atrocities against the Natives, they can still have the grace to share that which is so dear to them with everyone.
This hoop dancer is very inspiring children. My five yr. Old grandchild saw a hoop dancer. For his first time . I am creatimg his first Grass dancer . I and him if he wanted to be a grass dancer! He said ,"NO, I Want to be a hoop dancer. ". I was speechless, and so proud of this young Native boy. I'm now will make him hoops. !!!!!
Incredible truly can feel the Spirit in your dance.....
Man. This crowd didn't appreciate your jokes, but I just want you to know I laughed my ass off in the first couple minutes, before you wowed me with your dancing.
don't say that cowert
"Cowert"

That was cool!!
Peter Wehr I'm happy that You enjoyed this video!♡
I did, thank you for sharing!
Very good brother! 👍🏻
you have inspired me!
I wish more people had this young Man's philosophy.
im ojicree..half cree, half ojibiwe...now this is my opinion...when this guy sed it was a healing dance...he wasn't lying...made me realised how that our culture is not dead...not yet anyway...and to keep it from dying early we first nation people must come together and show the world what we really are, that we are still here...let our drums rumble this land
I am so blessed to watch this champion again 💯💯💯✔️❤️
Wow! Just WOW!! Lost for words - AMAZING!
No matter how many times I watch this gifted and talented young man, I never cease to be amazed. He is INCREDIBLE!
Well said thank you native brother I'm from Gila River Az. Thank you for your service and thank you for sharing the circle of life. ♥️
Brian you dancing fool we love you!!!! "They outlawed the Ghost Dance but we shall rise again!" Robbie Robertson and the Red Road Ensemble
Brilliant, left my heart pounding and tears in my eyes. Thank you for sharing your gift.
all I can say is wow. That was a beautiful dance.
Absolutely beautiful. So grateful you shared this. Deeply touched. Feel close to tears, I am so moved.
Now that is some amazing talent best I've seen in a long time
Brian Hammill is fantastic! I have to watch several times a month....he is amazing!!
You are amazing you never got out of step with the music , the hoop work was out of this world ! You are a very blessed and talented dancer!
Wow, seriously amazing shapes and dance
No wonder people anticipate that native Americans had connection with ancient extraterrestrial beings. This dance to very smart and well designed. just using simple circles to make complicated patterns as wings and planets, unbelievable!
Dude, the only aliens Natives are dealing with are weird outsiders who watch too much History channel. ET didn't meet with us, must have been with the BIA.
that was beautiful. I probably would've waited to cheer till the end out of respect for the performance. Beautiful performance.
Thank you so much for posting this. The intro was great, I can watch this over and over. You are so talented, thank you for your service and for perpetuating your culture.
This was epic. I shared it with my son and he hasn't stopped dancing yet. ;)
Best hoop dancer ever! Many blessings. Thank you for not just learning the dance, but even better preserving the tradition and harmony.😄🤗❤️🦅🦬🌽🌎🦋
Highly appreciate that you included the story. My wife has only recently learned of hoop dancing and I didn't know enough to explain.
Thank you for the healing that you continue to spread, Brian. Respect.
Thank you and I appreciate the kind words
I agree with you.....there is no reason to be sad....rather feel joy at the beauty, the sharing, the perseverance of a peoples.....pow wows are for celebration!
I love the geometry of his statement. Beautiful. God bless you, brother. : )
The talent, the skills, it's breathtaking to watch. I would love to be able, someday, to watch this live. I am overwhelmed by the brilliance and beauty of this dance.
I'm extremely impressed!
simply incredible!!!
I love this. the music is welcoming no matter what mood your in.
With all respect to you...protect your country,keep your culture and your traditions together and thanks for your performance Mr H
Thank you.
Thank you for sharing this, I really enjoyed watching it as well as letting the drumming enter my soul. 17 years ago in Cardiff, South Wales. I attended an educational conference of Native American Elders and with them was a 17 year old Welsh boy, who had learned this dance from various Native sources and he performed this for the audience. I seem to recall him using about 8 or 9 hoops. He received a standing ovation from all there that day! Always in awe of your traditions. Blessings.
We enjoyed you and your lovely family so much this year. Blessings to all❤
wow !!! this was amazing !!! i would have LOVED to have seen this in person !! i have always had a respect and fascination for everything native american . . . so connected with nature. it's a real treat seeing this dance. thank you. :)
All comes to creation of Life and all creations. Each hoop Creates a sacred geometry. Yay I'm happy. I do the rain dance. Blessing Mother Earth and Father Sky and Blessing Grandfather Spirit. The Great Spirit
Mind blown, heart touched and soul nourished ! Your life energy is astonishing! Thank you!
Bless our family to come together always. Every dance awakens the lost ones. I'm one of them, but never truly apart from my true family.
Thank you very much for the comment. The dance is all about the importance of family
I've started watching this everyday
This is incredibly beautiful!
This performance was awesome! Thank you much for the entertainment, i love it. Blessings to all.
As powerful as this in on video, I can only imagine how powerful it was in person
The energy from that show was absolutely amazing.
You have the moves of the old ones combined with the knowledge of today. You are amazing! I appreciate you.
this was the best hoop dance i've ever seen!
That was an awesome video, one of the best hoop dance i have seen. Keep up the great performance and hope one of these days i can see you perform in person.
I've watched this so many times. It soothes my soul
Thank you
We are still here ;-)...this dance is soooo beautiful,that you for sharing! A'ho
you're clearly the best dancer I've ever seen!!!!!
This is beyond liking!. This is verging on the impossible. One wonders how this came to be. We have in the past been entertained by dancing girls doing hoop dances and looking quite good. So now we see where it comes from and in comparison we have been shown shit. This ancient talent is unbelievable.
The dance has definitely evolved over the years but the teachings and the significance remains the same. The younger generations are taking it to a whole new level
This one is my all time favorite! Thank you!
Oh my you are mind blowing totally inspirational this is so creative and absolutely beautiful I am so in love with this thank you for sharing

Absolutely gorgeous dancing. A honored blessing your way Brian. May the Grand Creator continue to bless your life and continue to share the dance with others.
Stunning and inspirational! Thank for sharing this!
This is amazing. In our territory we dont see many people doing traditional things like this!!
i respect the natives undyingly, they are beings of pure spirit and they embrace a culture of rhythm. i would spend my life with them if i had the chance
Beautiful message..

Great and complete super warrior. Please keep on sending your message to the world, there we are for sure a lot of people who is concious about ancient cultures performances just as a way to share the whole world the strenghts of our roots. Congratulations!
Bless and be blessed! I'm about to start a journey of hula hooping and this was such an inspiration. I grew up in Oklahoma and Florida, so I feel very connected to my native brothers and sisters .... I enjoyed this dance , the music and the thong. Thank you for sharing . Peace.
I think this is great to have control over so many hoops and he is very fluid with his moves ...Beautiful
You gave me goose bumps by what you said. My husband is Native American. Happy Native American Heritage month to you.
Thank you for sharing. This dance has touched my spirit.
Glad you enjoyed it
How anyone could not 'Like' this is beyond my comprehension. Your effort is truly a labor of love and incredibly beautiful. I envy your stamina! I appreciated your monologue for all of us 'Non Natives' - it helps us appreciate the diversity and the dance's personal significance. Thank you for a truly beautiful dance experience.
I’m seeing this for the first time and I am almost in tears. I am not a Native American but I spent a lot of time on the reservations in New Mexico as a boy with my father, particularly among the Navajo, Acoma, Isleta and Zuni’s. I sent this video to my father this morning and we talked for almost an hour about you. We both have a love for Native American dance pow wow, traditional, shawl and of course hoop dancing. You are other worldly brother...just beautiful to watch the power, grace and artistic storytelling. You dance as well as anyone ever has in history and better than most ever could. I’ve watched it at least a dozen times since last night and I’m sure I’ll watch it dozens more. Thank you for this but most of all, thank you for making my father smile today and reminding us both of our time together with the Pueblo’s. Big blessing for us both. You are quite simply the greatest hoop dancer I have ever seen....
Thank you. I am glad it touched you in a good way.
You are amazing and thank you for the wonderful explanation of the meaning
Fantastic dancing. Loved it. Very fluid.
WOW! This is wonderful, fantastic APPLAUSE!
