*Proud dad moment* My 11yr old sons teacher printed out a bunch of "Indian" symbols and pictures she googled for the kids to color and such back in November for the whole Thanksgiving crap. My son noticed none were actual Native symbols or anything and questioned it. She tried to argue that it was real Indian or whatever and he replied with "well, I'm NOT Indian. I'm Native. My father is one of the few full blood Kanienkehaka left and my mother is half Kanienkehaka and half Black Foot. I'm not from India and trust me, this is NOT Native!" He ended up getting sent to the office for *making a scene and disrupting the class* and on his way, he texted me everything so I went straight there. I showed them my tattoos which are all medicine and explained to the principal that his teacher was clearly in the wrong and let them know if my son was to be punished in any way, the news station would be getting a call. I dismissed him early and took him out for lunch and a movie. He made me a VERY proud dad that day
Rock Paint i dont understand why one who has made a career in teaching be so ignorant. i would have been pleased to be corrected and make a point that the rest of the class has the opportunity to see and learn the traditional markings and symbols direct from those who made them. a teacher teaches from the heart, not from an ego
That's not the best example of a quote from a native hero, while geronimo was definitely given reason for hating the white man, with having two of his families killed before his very eyes, he sorta took it out on everyone, he raided people no matter how innocent they were, even doing it against fellow natives, he became sort of an asshole
@@BladerBoi24 Please don't say that about my ancestor. That man fought against systematic oppression and destruction of Apaché culture, people, and lands. You clearly know nothing of Apaché culture. The Apaché tribes aren't diplomats like other tribes. We look out for our own. We do not speak without knowing all the facts. Our culture was beaten out of our children in schools set up by the American government who took them from their parents. It was not and never will be one fight because an Apaché person is not a Navajo person or Choctaw person or Seminole person. Each culture is vastly different and each culture has a right to fight to preserve their culture. So don't try to defame the name of my ancestor, Goyahkla, because he fought for something he believed in. And I have promised him that I will not give up his fight.
@@dandelion_tufts I apologize, while I did assume I was speaking in an informed way, my knowledge is also based on a college course which, while having academic backing, certainly doesnt cover everything that an actual descendant might know, I will apologize for my statement as it is, in the end, more accusatory than it is informative

There was a day in 1st grade when we were learning about the history of the Natives and Christopher Columbus. My teacher tried to tell us that he discovered America and the Natives, but seven year old me spoke up and called her out on that bullshit. She was stunned and talked to my parents about it at the parent teacher conferences held later that year. My dad, a proud member of the Atwamsini band of the Pit River tribe, was so damn proud of me.
Well, the implied meaning that he discovered it from the POV of Old World civilizations was understood by quite literally everyone saying and hearing it to be obvious until the late 1980s or so, when suddenly everyone suddenly got weirdly OCD and started calling it out as some sort of lie when it's meaning was always plain and understood by all. The Vikings left no record of their visits, nor is it clear they understood what they had found. Columbus also made some conceptual errors there, but he went home, came back several more times, and left clear records that others followed up. The justification for the "discovery" concept and the Old World POV is that the enormous majority (in lands north of the Rio Grande, for sure) huge majority of the audience were of wholly Old World ancestry, whether early or late arrivals. From their POV, wholly true. From the institutional perspectives of the states and societies they built, wholly true. Those societies would not exist and none of those peoples would be here without Columbus. That doesn't mean it needn't have been a fair bit more nuanced for Latin America, where much of the population is mixed-ancestry, peoples that of course also would not exist as such without Columbus, nor their countries in anything like their present form. But I have no idea how those countries teach this stuff. I presume they do not assume it would be a good thing if the Spanish and Portuguese elements disappeared. It also doesn't mean it is not rude to frame this sort of material this way if one is teaching a class of aboriginal peoples. Tone deafness is really poor manners. Were I an aboriginal Canadian, I am well sure I would have preferred Columbus never to have sailed, some unknown numbers of millions not to have died of alien diseases before most ever even heard of a European, and for my ancestors to have had at least the chance to find some centuries longer path to the kinds of technologies that would have enabled them to eventually meet the Old World on more even terms if not indeed sail out to meet them. And to build something as grand and modern as Canada on an aboriginal foundation and in aboriginal modes of expression. And for the many, many bad things that Europeans did once here, I don't exactly mean to apologize. We all like to think we are past war and conquest. And that's no bad thing. But I remember that every inch of the Old World was fought over countless times, that every inch of the New was similarly fought over by the indigenous peoples, and that when the first Europeans showed up there was both cooperation and war across civilizational lines from the very first, and indigenous peoples on many occasions knew how to choose war and how to practice it to the utmost cleverness and cruelty without teaching by any outsiders. (Per my note above, I also applaud them. They were perhaps wise when making that choice, just not numerous enough or well enough equipped, and they just like Europeans were fighting among themselves and sought allies across civilizational lines. Worked for us. Didn't work for them. Numbers, technology. I did always like that 'Homeland Security since 1492' t shirt though.) All in all, all that doesn't mean this video isn't awesome. My people didn't come here until after WW2. But we're not leaving.
“When the Missionaries arrived, the Africans had the land and the Missionaries had the Bible. They taught us how to pray with our eyes closed. When we opened them, they had the land and we had the Bible.” ― Jomo Kenyatta, Kenya's first president
Europeans were initially refugees (even 20th century immigrants), and functionally are still a diaspora. The Ottomans were conquering Europe, and the Mongols obliterated the Turkic homeland. Everyone moved one continent West.
I had a tribe I'd visit for well over a decade. They never wanted me to see them dance it was weird. I guess I wasn't turtly enough for the turtle club. Now Mexican that gets more complicated. If I struggle snuggled you to death and danced to your music like Clock Work Orange that wouldn't make me you.
I'll never forget the day I shocked my history teacher into silence. "Can someone name an example of genocide?" To which I replied, "What we did to the Natives" He gaped at me for a few minutes and sputtered out "...I guess you could say that." and changed the subject. Americans like to talk about how we're "The Land of the Free" yet we have destroyed and enslaved so many people. We "Americanize" every culture we touch and expect assimilation from every immigrant who comes to us. It's disgusting. We cannot fix what we have already done but we can choose to fight alongside those who are left. This continuing discrimination against cultures other than our own must stop. We must consider others as our brothers and respect those around us no matter their bloodline or ancestral heritage
Hello I'm a anishnabe and ur words didn't fall on def ears I'd like to see if you can tell this story on .y Facebook timeline need more good white people on our side and save as many people we can
Beautifully said. This is a country built out of genocide and on the backs of others. People talk about genocide like it is something far removed from us and can't imagine it happening g here. HELLO America we were built on genocide! No one wants to talk about that.
Much agreed. I was reading a reprint of a book by a colonial from Virginia dated 1588. It named and mapped all the known local tribes. The settlers could clearly see that these people were settled, organised, smart, and religious. But they came in with a massively grandiose supremacy complex about European God & customs. They knew their weapons were much more deadly, and that they were spreading diseases from village to village. They couldn't understand why the natives didn't want them near! And when they wouldn't let them into villages, and colonialists ran out of supplies or grossly messed up their farming or hunting, they came in and took what they wanted. These people were pretty ignorant bastards! It was greed, plain and simple. It always is. Profits before people or culture. There was so much we could have learned. But we were convinced these people would "recognize the closest perfection of our Lord and religion. " And automatically want to change to that way of living. What hubris!
So true. The paiute people have a story about the white brother who was sent away by his father bear and stone mother. When he returned he had turned on all his brothers who were different colors. Even the elderly and ancestors knew before what was gonna happen. This was predicted during dinosaur days.
@@redskyeagle7616 Not going to touch that highly racist legend/story. But dinosaur times? Really? Humans did not exist alongside dinosaurs. The age of reptiles was inhospitable to any mammals more than scavengers, and even once the reptiles died off, it still took a long for apes and then homo sapiens to evolve. The earliest humans cohabitated with neanderthals in North Africa, Europe, and Western Asia, surrounded by Megafauna mammals thay could support the dietary requirements of intelligent species like Humans and Neanderthals
I really like how it begins with old footage of native culture and went to present time and we are still doing the same ceremonies and holding strong to our culture after all we been through with the U.S. They are still trying to kill us off but they can't. And many people think natives are the enemy's of U.S but I seen many patriotic Native Americans who strongly believe in Americas rights but are getting taken from them all the time. No matter what the government does They cant break our spirits.

That part in the Adams family reunion was real af for me as a kid, I'm white but idk it hit me because you know the cute pilgrim story and when she said that in the movie it made me do actual research.
I was fortunate. I was not taught the 'evil savage/noble Jesuits slaughtered' version of Canadian history, and it has taken me great effort on those rare occasions someone dragged me into Hudson's Bay department store to not ask if they have any smallpox blankets on sale.
I'm white but I've never prescribed to society. So thank God for that. Just the whole darkness and being different really hit me real af from that movie.

"Nobody is illegal on stolen land" the most hard-hitting line I've heard in a long time. I'm not American at all and I live in Europe but we really don't learn enough about how wrong our history can be, we learnt about Christopher Columbus but not about his crimes and this attitude towards the history books is not productive for acknowledging mistakes and learning to heal; the land is rightfully theirs and the Native Americans should be respected, not overlooked.
We don't get taught those things in school either. Most of American schools teach a white-washed truth. I was fortunate enough to have friends and family in my life that made sure I knew the truth, but a lot of people have no idea, or they don't want to hear it. It is really sad.
I'm sure absolutely no group of people in Europe ever conquered another ever. I'm sure all the country lines are exactly as they were two thousand years ago, and no war ever changed them ever. Don't pretend Europe's history is pretty.
Fin Don Canada acknowledges Indigenous people hell, they kept the same Treaties, Americans has broken. Since 1771. Plus First Europeans in North America was the Vikings 500 years before Columbus. But got fended off by Natives and Inuits...

My grandparents and mom was from ireland. My dad was ojibway. That makes me half breed of ojibwa irish. Until recently I started accepting the white identity of myself. Id love to find the roots of my grandparents, hopefully meet some family.. I strongly identify as being native.
british don't think too highly of the Irish, back in 1847 they starved and killed millions of Irish on an island that had plenty of food. I'm Irish and Polish which is even worse.

I am a 24-year-old Seneca tribe Native American what I love about this song versus today’s society is that now we all have stick shifts if you want a stick shift you don’t have to live in a mobile home if you don’t wanna live in a mobile home then you work hard to buy a house you don’t have to live on the reservation if you don’t want to but the one part of this song that hasn’t changed and will never change it’s a blood that was shared by my brothers and sisters my ancestors that will never change allow this song to be a reminder of how far we’ve come from our past and let us rejoice in it

@@haleysoutar8333 Two years later, I am pretty (but not absolutely) sure that it is the clip when she says "and on television, and in movie reruns."

right on!! many people take their health for granted. i got serious problems with my ear, and as a kid i was hurting so bad that all i could do was bury my head in my pillow and scream. nobody knew at the time but a tumor was consuming more, and more of the middle ear. i would get massive headaches daily. only after several surgeries was hy hearing restored in that ear giving me most of my hearing back.
I'm really interested in learning about my Taino heritage since I know nothing about my personal family history regarding that. However, when I was younger, I had went to a Powwow and damn did it move me. I'm just curious/intrigued on how native Americans view the Taino tribes. Thank you in advance! (Yo soy Boriqua!) lol

I just want you to know, this made me cry. Please keep doing what you are doing and stay strong. Coming from a mainly caucasian family with a few native american ancestors, it hurts that people don't think about the injustices still going on today and all the hatred tossed back and forth. Stay strong. :)

This reminded me of what my grandfather used to say all the time... He would say this one saying. "The white man's law is there for the bad man." I used to think highly of this saying until one day he told me the true meaning behind it. So many years have gone by and still we see our young people being oppressed by the system. That's what he meant.. The law is there to protect the bad man. I believe that will be their fall one day. They don't know the difference between loving a person and using things. It's not supposed to be loving things, and using people.
yeah!! Lets let other suffer as well?! yahhh. So white people of today who had NOTHING to do with what happened.. their the ones to suffer now ? lol. Making Native Americas suffer was wrong and we know that now. Making other people suffer isn't going to change anything only make more war and hate. =( . You act as if 'white' people all have something in common. I didn't choose the way or where I was born and neither did you.
Also funny how ATCR fans are probably mostly white. And no that doesn't matter. But im guessing that doesnt fit in well with your 'white devil' narrative.
Unless you can trace your ancestors back to Africa, there’s a high probability that you are actually indigenous American. Africa as the motherland was a lie sold to us so black folk didn’t realize it was their land as much as it is ours. Imagine the civil rights movement if people realized they were here before colonialism.
I don't see any warriors just a bunch of stupid racists going along with everything. Are they living sustainably while they bitch about the system that destroyed theirs? They go along with all of this and then complain. They're not fighting anything. If they weren't a bunch of stupid shallow sell out racists we would not be in this mess.
Heidi Embrey have you ever been on a reservation Heidi? Do you know what the entire continent of North America has been built on? Native land. This land is stolen land. My people were slaughtered, almost wiped out completely. Genocide. Why? Greed. Today native people live in poor condition on small reservations. Until you see what I see, be thoughtful before you go around commenting ignorance. Educate yourself.
@@Dududududududududududududu You don't own land, idiot. You talk about not being ignorant but all you do is regurgitate the anti-American talking points you heard on CNN. None of what you say makes sense. You're not oppressed. American people were also slaughtered and greed wasn't the only reason, plus "greed" a subjective word that doesn't mean anything. The American people traded you their technologies and, in exchange, you let them build there without abducting them at night. No one is keeping native people on reservations. No one is forcing you to stay there. And stop being xenophobic, everyone has a right to build their homes on Earth, you don't own it anymore than the animals you killed to build your reservations owned that place. I guess being a native and watching CNN makes you a doctor of American history, right?
@@jsmith434w Hello John, thanks for your insight. My opinion and everything I wrote in the previous comment is based on my own experience being born and raised on a reservation. Not a news network. As a native, I am proud of my family and my roots. John, i hope you are too. Please understand that you live and breath on stolen land. America is a massive graveyard with a long history of blood, slavery and genocide. That is a fact. Why do we live on reservation? Well John, because it is the last land that is truly ours to care for and own. No one else can touch it. Its where our family is, our homes, our roots. You're right no one is keeping us there, it's not perfect but nothing is however it is our home and we have a very strong connection to the land so its a special place. John, we didnt let the settlers build turning a blind eye, we saw it did no good to engage with them. It was simple choice, fight and die by their hands or assimilate. Most choice to die protecting our home as we are community people. We died because we were different. I am only writing here because my family is one of the ones who lived. I will never let that go, its always in the back of my mind. Its a empty feeling like we will never get back what we lost but we're all thats left you know? Just gotta be strong and hold onto our traditions. Keep moving forward, thats what we do. Please understand this John.

This song gave me chills, and a few tears. This is definitely getting downloaded and going on a playlist. Thank you for putting this together and posting it. I was honored to learn about several tribes while living in Arizona in the 80s. Their stories made me mad and sad, and I cannot imagine how it actually feels to have lived this way for generations. I do what I can to change c'bus day to Indigenous People's day and share the recipes & stories, and know that it can never be enough. At a minimum, not having children of my own hopefully makes fewer problems for natives and the earth.
@@douglasmatthews2334 I know exactly. The point is that they were up front in their animosity with each other, whereas the pilgrims lied and cheated and other nefarious subterfuge, until the last of the natives either gave in, or went to full on war.
mad love and mad respect. i remember watching and being so moved by pow-wow and as an outsider being blessed with the privilege of welcome and the ability to learn and grow as a child it moved me, as an adult, moves me still and am always learning the layers of conditioning I was given as a white child as well as growing up mormon (other kind of mind fuck as a girl too). in college I was blessed with great native professors and ability to learn more about the world in travel and openness and curiosity. It is difficult for me to get past my shyness as well as my desire to respect people who have experienced more than I will ever know. much love, gratitude and respect.

It's funny to be one of the few natives in highschool in a small town - they always think you're related to the other natives I had this grade.8 councilor she was an Indian woman (India) the kids would think she was my mother cause we were brown in middle school lol
What several Americans need to realize is that the indigenous tribes of the Americas still exist. They're are indigenous tribes in Canada all the way to Argentina including in the Carribean islands. These lands belongs to the Indigenous tribes and they deserve their land back. Before anyone replies to my post 40% of my blood is made up by the Mayan indigenous tribe of Guatemala and the Wayuu indigenous tribe of Colombia.

+CRAZY4BEINGCRAZY Your ignorance is amazing. First and foremost you made assumptions based on who you think I am. I've never been to afropunk and never heard of it until maybe a year ago therfore, you made judgements like the ignorant people you spoke of in your comment. Two: in not even a third black, so unless you're my family geneologist you don't know what the hell I am. Third, Indigenous is not a term exclusive to native Americans, if you "stepped away from the TV and remote" you'd know that. Side note cultural appropriation can only happen when misrepresenting a culture that's not yours. Yes Caucasians raped and pillaged the natives here, the slaves did not, so what are you talking about? Most blacks don't say they're part native American because of the Blackfoot tribe. They say that because they can trace their great grandparents to being married to or being with a native American. Completely different than the Caucasians you speak of. I was only making a point that people of different cultures that have been broken down and stolen from should come together and show love.
I remember watching this Christina Ricci scene in AF2 movie with my Mom. I was laughing my ass off, clapping. She was crying. I found comedy in redemption.

First thing the teacher did wrong was argue that it was "Indian", and not that it was Native American or by actual tribe name...
Rock Paint i dont understand why one who has made a career in teaching be so ignorant. i would have been pleased to be corrected and make a point that the rest of the class has the opportunity to see and learn the traditional markings and symbols direct from those who made them. a teacher teaches from the heart, not from an ego
“I should never have surrendered. I should have fought until I was the last man alive.”
-Geronimo
Goyathlay, the Yawner
That's not the best example of a quote from a native hero, while geronimo was definitely given reason for hating the white man, with having two of his families killed before his very eyes, he sorta took it out on everyone, he raided people no matter how innocent they were, even doing it against fellow natives, he became sort of an asshole
"you either die a hero, or live long enough to become the villian."
@@BladerBoi24 Please don't say that about my ancestor. That man fought against systematic oppression and destruction of Apaché culture, people, and lands. You clearly know nothing of Apaché culture. The Apaché tribes aren't diplomats like other tribes. We look out for our own. We do not speak without knowing all the facts. Our culture was beaten out of our children in schools set up by the American government who took them from their parents. It was not and never will be one fight because an Apaché person is not a Navajo person or Choctaw person or Seminole person. Each culture is vastly different and each culture has a right to fight to preserve their culture. So don't try to defame the name of my ancestor, Goyahkla, because he fought for something he believed in. And I have promised him that I will not give up his fight.
@@dandelion_tufts I apologize, while I did assume I was speaking in an informed way, my knowledge is also based on a college course which, while having academic backing, certainly doesnt cover everything that an actual descendant might know, I will apologize for my statement as it is, in the end, more accusatory than it is informative

There was a day in 1st grade when we were learning about the history of the Natives and Christopher Columbus. My teacher tried to tell us that he discovered America and the Natives, but seven year old me spoke up and called her out on that bullshit. She was stunned and talked to my parents about it at the parent teacher conferences held later that year. My dad, a proud member of the Atwamsini band of the Pit River tribe, was so damn proud of me.
The 7 year old you was cool 😎
My husband has an almost identical story. His mom is a Wintun tribal member.
I remember being a meerkat...how's that
❤❤❤❤
Well, the implied meaning that he discovered it from the POV of Old World civilizations was understood by quite literally everyone saying and hearing it to be obvious until the late 1980s or so, when suddenly everyone suddenly got weirdly OCD and started calling it out as some sort of lie when it's meaning was always plain and understood by all. The Vikings left no record of their visits, nor is it clear they understood what they had found. Columbus also made some conceptual errors there, but he went home, came back several more times, and left clear records that others followed up. The justification for the "discovery" concept and the Old World POV is that the enormous majority (in lands north of the Rio Grande, for sure) huge majority of the audience were of wholly Old World ancestry, whether early or late arrivals. From their POV, wholly true. From the institutional perspectives of the states and societies they built, wholly true. Those societies would not exist and none of those peoples would be here without Columbus.
That doesn't mean it needn't have been a fair bit more nuanced for Latin America, where much of the population is mixed-ancestry, peoples that of course also would not exist as such without Columbus, nor their countries in anything like their present form. But I have no idea how those countries teach this stuff. I presume they do not assume it would be a good thing if the Spanish and Portuguese elements disappeared.
It also doesn't mean it is not rude to frame this sort of material this way if one is teaching a class of aboriginal peoples. Tone deafness is really poor manners.
Were I an aboriginal Canadian, I am well sure I would have preferred Columbus never to have sailed, some unknown numbers of millions not to have died of alien diseases before most ever even heard of a European, and for my ancestors to have had at least the chance to find some centuries longer path to the kinds of technologies that would have enabled them to eventually meet the Old World on more even terms if not indeed sail out to meet them. And to build something as grand and modern as Canada on an aboriginal foundation and in aboriginal modes of expression.
And for the many, many bad things that Europeans did once here, I don't exactly mean to apologize. We all like to think we are past war and conquest. And that's no bad thing. But I remember that every inch of the Old World was fought over countless times, that every inch of the New was similarly fought over by the indigenous peoples, and that when the first Europeans showed up there was both cooperation and war across civilizational lines from the very first, and indigenous peoples on many occasions knew how to choose war and how to practice it to the utmost cleverness and cruelty without teaching by any outsiders. (Per my note above, I also applaud them. They were perhaps wise when making that choice, just not numerous enough or well enough equipped, and they just like Europeans were fighting among themselves and sought allies across civilizational lines. Worked for us. Didn't work for them. Numbers, technology. I did always like that 'Homeland Security since 1492' t shirt though.)
All in all, all that doesn't mean this video isn't awesome. My people didn't come here until after WW2. But we're not leaving.

What a culture they never gave up they will never yield !
I had a tribe I'd visit for well over a decade. They never wanted me to see them dance it was weird. I guess I wasn't turtly enough for the turtle club. Now Mexican that gets more complicated. If I struggle snuggled you to death and danced to your music like Clock Work Orange that wouldn't make me you.
Hollywood programmed you to react that way.

I'll never forget the day I shocked my history teacher into silence.
"Can someone name an example of genocide?"
To which I replied, "What we did to the Natives"
He gaped at me for a few minutes and sputtered out "...I guess you could say that." and changed the subject.
Americans like to talk about how we're "The Land of the Free" yet we have destroyed and enslaved so many people. We "Americanize" every culture we touch and expect assimilation from every immigrant who comes to us.
It's disgusting.
We cannot fix what we have already done but we can choose to fight alongside those who are left. This continuing discrimination against cultures other than our own must stop. We must consider others as our brothers and respect those around us no matter their bloodline or ancestral heritage
Hello I'm a anishnabe and ur words didn't fall on def ears I'd like to see if you can tell this story on .y Facebook timeline need more good white people on our side and save as many people we can
Beautifully said.
This is a country built out of genocide and on the backs of others.
People talk about genocide like it is something far removed from us and can't imagine it happening g here. HELLO America we were built on genocide! No one wants to talk about that.
Much agreed. I was reading a reprint of a book by a colonial from Virginia dated 1588. It named and mapped all the known local tribes. The settlers could clearly see that these people were settled, organised, smart, and religious. But they came in with a massively grandiose supremacy complex about European God & customs. They knew their weapons were much more deadly, and that they were spreading diseases from village to village. They couldn't understand why the natives didn't want them near! And when they wouldn't let them into villages, and colonialists ran out of supplies or grossly messed up their farming or hunting, they came in and took what they wanted. These people were pretty ignorant bastards! It was greed, plain and simple. It always is. Profits before people or culture. There was so much we could have learned. But we were convinced these people would "recognize the closest perfection of our Lord and religion. " And automatically want to change to that way of living. What hubris!
So true. The paiute people have a story about the white brother who was sent away by his father bear and stone mother. When he returned he had turned on all his brothers who were different colors. Even the elderly and ancestors knew before what was gonna happen. This was predicted during dinosaur days.
@@redskyeagle7616 Not going to touch that highly racist legend/story. But dinosaur times? Really? Humans did not exist alongside dinosaurs. The age of reptiles was inhospitable to any mammals more than scavengers, and even once the reptiles died off, it still took a long for apes and then homo sapiens to evolve. The earliest humans cohabitated with neanderthals in North Africa, Europe, and Western Asia, surrounded by Megafauna mammals thay could support the dietary requirements of intelligent species like Humans and Neanderthals
I really like how it begins with old footage of native culture and went to present time and we are still doing the same ceremonies and holding strong to our culture after all we been through with the U.S. They are still trying to kill us off but they can't. And many people think natives are the enemy's of U.S but I seen many patriotic Native Americans who strongly believe in Americas rights but are getting taken from them all the time. No matter what the government does They cant break our spirits.
They are scared of our prayers

That part in the Adams family reunion was real af for me as a kid, I'm white but idk it hit me because you know the cute pilgrim story and when she said that in the movie it made me do actual research.

I was fortunate. I was not taught the 'evil savage/noble Jesuits slaughtered' version of Canadian history, and it has taken me great effort on those rare occasions someone dragged me into Hudson's Bay department store to not ask if they have any smallpox blankets on sale.

"Nobody is illegal on stolen land" the most hard-hitting line I've heard in a long time. I'm not American at all and I live in Europe but we really don't learn enough about how wrong our history can be, we learnt about Christopher Columbus but not about his crimes and this attitude towards the history books is not productive for acknowledging mistakes and learning to heal; the land is rightfully theirs and the Native Americans should be respected, not overlooked.
We don't get taught those things in school either. Most of American schools teach a white-washed truth. I was fortunate enough to have friends and family in my life that made sure I knew the truth, but a lot of people have no idea, or they don't want to hear it. It is really sad.
I'm sure absolutely no group of people in Europe ever conquered another ever. I'm sure all the country lines are exactly as they were two thousand years ago, and no war ever changed them ever. Don't pretend Europe's history is pretty.

I used to think highly of this saying until one day he told me the true meaning behind it. So many years have gone by and still we see our young people being oppressed by the system. That's what he meant.. The law is there to protect the bad man. I believe that will be their fall one day. They don't know the difference between loving a person and using things. It's not supposed to be loving things, and using people.

Unless you can trace your ancestors back to Africa, there’s a high probability that you are actually indigenous American. Africa as the motherland was a lie sold to us so black folk didn’t realize it was their land as much as it is ours. Imagine the civil rights movement if people realized they were here before colonialism.
the world hates the truth stay strong brothers an sisters you are all warriors
I don't see any warriors just a bunch of stupid racists going along with everything. Are they living sustainably while they bitch about the system that destroyed theirs? They go along with all of this and then complain. They're not fighting anything. If they weren't a bunch of stupid shallow sell out racists we would not be in this mess.
Heidi Embrey have you ever been on a reservation Heidi? Do you know what the entire continent of North America has been built on? Native land. This land is stolen land. My people were slaughtered, almost wiped out completely. Genocide. Why? Greed. Today native people live in poor condition on small reservations. Until you see what I see, be thoughtful before you go around commenting ignorance. Educate yourself.
@@Dududududududududududududu You don't own land, idiot. You talk about not being ignorant but all you do is regurgitate the anti-American talking points you heard on CNN.
None of what you say makes sense. You're not oppressed. American people were also slaughtered and greed wasn't the only reason, plus "greed" a subjective word that doesn't mean anything.
The American people traded you their technologies and, in exchange, you let them build there without abducting them at night.
No one is keeping native people on reservations. No one is forcing you to stay there. And stop being xenophobic, everyone has a right to build their homes on Earth, you don't own it anymore than the animals you killed to build your reservations owned that place.

@@jsmith434w Hello John, thanks for your insight.
My opinion and everything I wrote in the previous comment is based on my own experience being born and raised on a reservation. Not a news network.
As a native, I am proud of my family and my roots. John, i hope you are too. Please understand that you live and breath on stolen land. America is a massive graveyard with a long history of blood, slavery and genocide. That is a fact.
Why do we live on reservation? Well John, because it is the last land that is truly ours to care for and own. No one else can touch it. Its where our family is, our homes, our roots. You're right no one is keeping us there, it's not perfect but nothing is however it is our home and we have a very strong connection to the land so its a special place.
John, we didnt let the settlers build turning a blind eye, we saw it did no good to engage with them. It was simple choice, fight and die by their hands or assimilate. Most choice to die protecting our home as we are community people.
We died because we were different. I am only writing here because my family is one of the ones who lived. I will never let that go, its always in the back of my mind. Its a empty feeling like we will never get back what we lost but we're all thats left you know? Just gotta be strong and hold onto our traditions. Keep moving forward, thats what we do.
Please understand this John.
@@jsmith434w I saw you replied again in my notifications but it doesnt show on this comment thread. I'll just respond here instead.
Im glad you acknowledge my insight, I have many stories about my upbringing and living as a minority.
I hope you continue to question and learn new things. Let me know if you have any more or would like a recommendation.
I absolutely love these guys, the ancestors are so proud of you guys. We are here for it all. Now come to Philly
Man I'm addicted to this song haha
me too
chance friend good.
The band and its fusion mix have actually inspired me to combine my pow wow love and cosplay identity. Doing my first dance soon.
Navy veteran, full Navajo and gay- what a mix, eh?
Is this a snide remark to my gay nature? If so, it is a sorry state. Natl'aeeeh next to medicine are very important to tribe hierarchy. And being a veteran is another sacred status.
Well...damn, you're a hot mess. You do what makes you happy and be proud and be strong. I hope the dance went well, and, as veteran to another veteran this never sounds right, but thanks for your service
Two spirit be proud!
Still loved dear brother😎
One love brother, we have enough battles in life we do not need to battle each other always keep your head high
wow great song! powerful . Hits on a primal level great job bro. love your music would love to be able to download this here.
Incan love to our northern cousins
use an mp3 converter
I bump this every morning to get me ready for the day. the feeling it gives my soul is indescribable... love it!!!
Dance for the day the sun has to raise
Saw a Tribe Called Red In Wiikwemikoong What A show !
This song gave me chills, and a few tears. This is definitely getting downloaded and going on a playlist. Thank you for putting this together and posting it.
I was honored to learn about several tribes while living in Arizona in the 80s. Their stories made me mad and sad, and I cannot imagine how it actually feels to have lived this way for generations. I do what I can to change c'bus day to Indigenous People's day and share the recipes & stories, and know that it can never be enough. At a minimum, not having children of my own hopefully makes fewer problems for natives and the earth.
Yo, when she said, "THEY HAVE SAID, DO NOT TRUST THE PILGRIMS!" I got chills, because truer words have never been spoken.
Were you taught what the tribes did to one another, and not just what whites did to them?
@@douglasmatthews2334 will u please 🛑 the statistical category of race
@@equalitypyplpissyopantslaughin If you don't believe in race that's your thing. I do, so you do you.
@@douglasmatthews2334 I know exactly. The point is that they were up front in their animosity with each other, whereas the pilgrims lied and cheated and other nefarious subterfuge, until the last of the natives either gave in, or went to full on war.
Saw Halluci Nation live. ONE GREAT SHOW, did not disappoint.
mad love and mad respect. i remember watching and being so moved by pow-wow and as an outsider being blessed with the privilege of welcome and the ability to learn and grow as a child it moved me, as an adult, moves me still and am always learning the layers of conditioning I was given as a white child as well as growing up mormon (other kind of mind fuck as a girl too). in college I was blessed with great native professors and ability to learn more about the world in travel and openness and curiosity. It is difficult for me to get past my shyness as well as my desire to respect people who have experienced more than I will ever know. much love, gratitude and respect.
Keep fighting and keep this up! Remember the Navaho Code Breakers. Remember to teach the real history, in class and more importantly at home.
It's spelled "Navajo" or "Diné"
Being a former teacher myself, I am very proud of you & your son, your family & everyone who stands up for something, for all the injustices that’s been done for centuries AND STILL CONTINUE TO THIS VERY DAY‼️ THE fact that right now they are erasing history from the school books and “making sure the next generation of learners, believe EVERY LIE THEIR TEACHERS TELL THEM! SHAME ON YOU BOARD of EDUCATION!! THANKS GOOGLE Firefox & any & all social sites continue to keep the lies going. SHAME
@@d3vastator01k9 I just discovered something horrifying. Native American women apparently do not have a missing women's database. It's like they never existed!
You! Mean navajo
@@d3vastator01k9The citizens always blames the government but the citizens are the ones allowing the Roe V Wade decision to slaughter trillions of babies sacrificed to Moloch rather than obey the ten commandments. This is Moloch destroying Babylon for the Roe V Wade decision. The citizens fought for the right to take away the voices and rights of trillions of babies sacrificed to Moloch. Universal law not man made law.
I am full blood Native. Numumuu and Kui-Gu. I need to hear this. I remember who I am.
@G. G. u sneak dissin burb boy🤨
i would hope so unless you raised yourself
This brings tears to my eyes, every time I watch it, and i watch it every day.
I dont know why i have tears in my eyes after waching this masterpiece....
I love the song and the video. I feel so much pain in my heart if I think the people who have endured so much suffering. I'm from Europe. I'm Estonian. My people are one of the oldest in European continent yet we lost our freedom due to german invasion year 1205. Since then our history has been one great struggle for survival. and I can't see the end of that. Now when ee have become the member of the EU we became the economic slaves. But for small nation It's not possible stay alone by yourself when our neighbor is Russia. I thank for the nice powerful vibe the video gave me.
Thank You..That was awesome...Cherokee,Pawnee,Cheyenne,and Cree here...I am known as Yotanka Tatanka on facebook and is my real Indigenous name
Love and respect.
this track is fire! so love my natives.
This might be one of the most powerful videos I have ever watched.
WE HIT OVER 200,000 VIEWS!!! THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH!!!
This song is wicked awesome! I love the clips of dancing in the background. Very powerful!
#NODAPL
creepy but great music !
I love pork Where the hell do you get off saying that. Every native American I know are beautiful people with great respect for the land and nature. You are simply a throw back bigot that deserves to be silenced. Until you have walked in their place and experienced the racism yourself shut up.
Have to play this song all day of Thanksgiving !
This is a masterpiece.
When I was in elementary school, many kids didn't believe Natives were real. They thought Natives were made up like wizards and fairies.
Imari 😂😂😂😂✊🏽
Lmao this brought back so much trauma. 😞
It's funny to be one of the few natives in highschool in a small town - they always think you're related to the other natives
I had this grade.8 councilor she was an Indian woman (India) the kids would think she was my mother cause we were brown in middle school lol
@@mclovin0503 same
That is scary.
What several Americans need
to realize is that the indigenous tribes of the Americas still exist. They're are indigenous tribes in Canada all the way to Argentina including in the Carribean islands. These lands belongs to the Indigenous tribes and they deserve their land back. Before anyone replies to my post 40% of my blood is made up by the Mayan indigenous tribe of Guatemala and the Wayuu indigenous tribe of Colombia. I know exactly what I am talking about I never believed what I was taught in school. When I was a kid I dislike my looks because I didn't look like a white person but as I got older I learned to love myself and be proud of who I am. They can't eliminate all of us
Que Viva Guatemala...
Interesting 🤔
40% was this from dna results?
Reina Guzman very interesting I have the bloodline in me high as well I’m getting my Land papers back
I support you 100%. thank you. :)
4:45 I've actually met natives who didn't have water or electric. I tried to help them with programs but they had lost all faith in the system and I don't blame them at all but there was nothing I could do without them. The government is so big but it cares so little.
Hoping our brothers from “Canada” to “Argentina “ hear the drums and stand up together.
West stand 💪
I think it would be surprise you how many "others" (my parents are from Ireland) would hear those drums and stand with you.
I'm with you
The only thing that allows evil to triumph is good men who stand by and do nothing. And when evil plots to destroy good people there only defense is peaceful men well trained in the art of violence, worriers. We at the S.T.A.K house stand with you.
@@nicholaslogan6253 and we are with you, stealing land and enslaving people is a terrible crime that should never expire without solution or repair. Pride to those bagpipes and violins that still sound loud.
Every hair on my body is standing my blood is boiling and my soul is screaming
Gay
I feel it too
The real ones feel it. The fake clowns run their mouths behind the keyboard.
Real talk. This makes me cry
This one definitely hits hard even more so now with the current news ive got some native in me i really don't know or can't say how much but every single time I hear this and watch this @zach Mann you said it perfectly but you know to be honest I feel like all this shit is part of the process all the shit this country and the us have done the chickens always come home to roost
I'm white and Cherokee, and this is for my Native brother's & sister's!!
grand soutiens de la part d'un français qui forcement d'un sens et privilégier comme ceux qui vous ont martyriser, mais qui connait la VRAI vérité, et non celle des livres d'écoles qu'on essaie de nous faire avaler ! sachant cela je suis fier de prendre partie , et de vous dire que je suis avec vous jusqu'au bout !
I heard and felt such anger, pain, and grief while listening to this, topped with such resilience and love at the end. Just sitting with this as much as I can and feeling grateful for this music.
One of my most cherished and powerfull childhood experiences was meeting Geronimo the 3rd. I still carry your memory with me and tell my children.
Every time I listen to this song it brings me to tears... And that's something special.
I play this song every year at “Thanksgiving” and remember.
Thats stupid, thats the problem with you people, you remember things that never happened to you.
_Me too every year on all platforms_ 🌐🕊 #NeverGiveUp

@@GtMcGeemaybe the problem with yours is that you act as if the past can't affect the future
I'm getting goosebumps.
I thought this was BRILLIANT!!! So many cultures in the US have been treated similar ways and they need to take a cue from this video and come together. The old videos of the dancers and sacred ceremonies was beautiful as well.
+CRAZY4BEINGCRAZY Your ignorance is amazing. First and foremost you made assumptions based on who you think I am. I've never been to afropunk and never heard of it until maybe a year ago therfore, you made judgements like the ignorant people you spoke of in your comment. Two: in not even a third black, so unless you're my family geneologist you don't know what the hell I am. Third, Indigenous is not a term exclusive to native Americans, if you "stepped away from the TV and remote" you'd know that. Side note cultural appropriation can only happen when misrepresenting a culture that's not yours. Yes Caucasians raped and pillaged the natives here, the slaves did not, so what are you talking about? Most blacks don't say they're part native American because of the Blackfoot tribe. They say that because they can trace their great grandparents to being married to or being with a native American. Completely different than the Caucasians you speak of. I was only making a point that people of different cultures that have been broken down and stolen from should come together and show love.
I remember watching this Christina Ricci scene in AF2 movie with my Mom. I was laughing my ass off, clapping. She was crying. I found comedy in redemption. She saw reality and agony in false-redemption (movie scene...not real). But I NEVER forgot that scene, or what it meant. I hold it in my heart because of my anger for mistreatment. But that does nothing. We must do more. Become more educated. Less tolerant of bullshit, but more tolerant of human-nature. The spirit lives in the dirt. it will live forever. It can't be taken.
I didn't understand it because in school they want to teach you the fairy tale of thanksgiving where natives and pilgrims ate and danced and everyone lived happily ever after.

sorry, what movie was that, please?
A. DUBITANTE adams family values 2
thanx! I'll check it out.
I don't know why but watching this makes me sad, Its time for us to come together and show the world we are still here.
+Paul Beltran It makes you sad because there really aren't that many of us left.
+deadcelebrity so true I've just moved to a new city and I haven't seen a single native it's bullshit I mean I like white people and other races but I wanna see more of my kind
+Raquel Avilos omg, hahaha
+Raquel Avilos I'm not adverse to either of those, but all my luck with ladies is usually with white girls. The "exotic" thing I guess.
+Raquel Avilos Yeah I ain't feeling that first part but I think ill go with your other choice! Time to find some natives girls and GET THEM ALL PREGNANT EACH AND EVERY SINGLE NATIVE IN THIS CITY and some white girls and black girls too. Why not make some half breeds ;) only shitty part gonna have to pay Child support

Wednesday says what should have been said
Looking for a Wednesday comment! Found it! Lol.
What should have been done.
No, the writer of the movie did. She just acted it out. Not trying to be an ass, just saying give the credit where it's actually due.
she always did
It would be a different world but I would welcome it with open arms. You all want to see "Post Apocalyptic?" Look to the Native American.
