1491s Play With Themselves, Imagery and Reclamation: 1491s at TEDxManitoba 2013
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 сер 2013
- We're motivated by our own wanting to see Native People in a modern and vital context. Also, girls may be watching. The 1491s are an artist collective of American Indian writers, filmmakers, visual and traditional artists, and language advocates. I'm going to be honest here. Half our group had no idea who TED was before we got asked to speak. And the other half still doesn't know. We're excited because TEDx is a forum that is outside of Indian Country. We're thrilled to be able to play with people's perception of Indians. The idea of Natives as a waning, sad, nearly extinct and mythical species is suuuuper wrong.
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
should put that on a tshirt.. loved it when he said " Go cry over someone else's tragedy, because we're alive and thriveing"
indigenous Americans
Alive and Thriving
Wee chaa!
Thank you, 1491! You've provided me with hours of entertainment, especially during the pandemic. I came to your channel through Patrick Willie, the hoop dancer and vlogger. You bring joy. Thank you!
He's a great dancer and I really love to watch him and especially when he's really enjoying it ❤
They are presenting in raw form and I greatly respect these men for that.
I love these guys 😂
The audience has no clue how funny they are.
Maybe it's a takes one to no one kind of thing
I'm a fan from Spain(europe) and I love their humor! I understand everything they do, and their humor is their best weapon against all the negative things, not only for natives also for non native people like me. by the way I would like to have a 1491s T shirt haha.
I'm a Native American and I thank you for your comment. I hope you have had 8 years of prosperity. The Native American culture is alive. We thrive in the face of adversity.
Bobby has a Sinatra-esque style. The two together really have some fun shtick.
Heavy subjects easier with a bit of humor. Sometimes one has to laugh, be silly, to keep from crying...Those who don't "get" their humor don't get it mostly because there's indigenous cultural twist to it...not the regular white industrial culture humor.
Helping empower others. The 1491s...great job guys.
I liked the fact that you opened up yourself and became very, very personal. Thank you for this TED Talk.
Humour is such a great tool for bonding, for healing, for empowerment- and laughter is so therapeutic! Humour can present the truth in sharp ways that gets under a person’s tough skin, helping to open eyes. THANK YOU!! ✌🏽
I can listen to these guys all day
You guys are an inspiration, making things happen and pushing them further. And you're funny AF. Mad respect.
Love You guys! Native Pride :)
Yes it IS an honour n glad to hear your talk here !
exactly, 100’s of different and individual tribes. Good talk, I’m aways watching TED Talks, this is much needed.
I love these guys they are so funny! I'm not Native so I hope nobody is insulted that I like these guys. Funny is funny though!
Leslie Sauceman I embrace your love of my fellow people. The more non Indians whom watch and embrace what they do and say, helps a lot.
I love the speech one indian person gave: he said that we all are native because we have been not long ago and we are doing best if we rediscover our roots; our sense of belonging to the indigenous mankind. Not long ago we all were involved with life on a deep, native and intrinsic level! That gives me hope because I have hardly learned any identity in my growing up (I am german). I am a woman and I can feel the earth vibrating through me if I listen closely.
Questi ragazzi as 1491 fanno un ottimo lavoro , menzionando e riportando Loro proprir caratteristiche ed anche stereotipi con self-ironia in un modo brillante e sìmpatico!! ed al contempo ...spesso Dicendo proprio la verità su Ciò che è successo ...la vera storia. Spero abbiano un ampio pubblico che li apprezzi !
I discovered America yesterday. 1491s made me laugh readily and easily with a humor that resonates. Now I am here and as an educator I am so impressed. "We have a forum and we are going to use it!" Aho!
These guys are funny as hell!
1491s on TED talks! WooHOO!
thank you so much for your twists and magic mystic native hunot! Aho and much love
omg I love you two, and all your pals. so much gratitude for how you support survivors. thank you
Love it "we're alive and thriving"
Excellent!! Sgi From Tsa-la-gi NC, keep on doing it!!
Osiyo, If you haven't seen it, check out their Emcee 3rd episode on their youtube. I laughed so hard.
this was great... the crowd was just so.... well Canadian lol!!! love you guys so much!!!!
loved the compilations. guys couldnʼt do one rehearsal?
For most of my life I had people say you can't be an Indian, you look white. This of course came from white people. Yes I am part white (Irish and German ancestry) yet I am also Choctaw and Cherokee. I have the features, but not the "skin color". So because my skin is not a certain color, people think I cannot be a Indian. It's crazy because a Indain can look at me and say, so what Nation are you, but a white person asks what country is your ancestors from. With your videos, you have helped me say watch 1491's you tube channel and you will see someone like me white on the inside but Indian on the inside. I also have learned to stop caring so much about what people see me as, though it helps that my husband whom is Seminole looks Seminole skin color and all lol.
You have to understand the way that Papa God Made You Is Beautiful.
Coming from a multi-race background you get all kinds of different things said to you. Some white people are very insecure because they don't want you to know your own self because they want you to be assimilated into their race....as usual. I look at it this way, it took me a very long time to find out who I was. It is all good because Papa God made me beautiful human and do not care what people think.
I know you noticed that Ryan Redcorn from the 1491s is Osage, and largely "white." His brother Alex works for KU. I was unsure about my place and about enrollment until I noticed Ryan and his brothers. And it is all about intention. The right reasons. If a white passing native only wants to affiliate so they can get paid, I would say that is not the right reason, or the right way. Affiliation with the Cherokee Nation for me is because I wish to honor the committment the nation made when it adopted my Shawnee, or Shawanooki, Great Grandfather and his siblings into the Cherokee Nation after having been displaced. So I wish to honor that, and work for the good of all, especially my native/indigenous cousins here on Turtle Island, and the rest of the world.
WADO FAMILY!!! I love 1491s. Thank you🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
This is spot on cheers for giving me the heads up from a fan who’s a bit late to the party in northern England.
Sooo much better than that OTHER TED Talk about NDN stuff.
You guys are great!
amazing. so articulate and poignant yet fucking funny. america needs way more of this
Yeah Sisseton Wahpeton Dakota represent!
Excellent presentation
"I’m a member of my local co-op"..."HIPPIE!!!" hahaha
Thank You Guys this is very interesting
Thank you guys for representing us native americans as people ...Real People not victims or a hollywood image . I'm am still Native American when I'm not wearing my Traditional Dress which I have not worn for a long time because I feel like I'm just putting on a show for the white man and like like a puppet for the Indians and it takes something for me so I don't even wear my beautiful buckskin dress because I feel like how I was already been just something for the white people it's not about our culture it's not about our of being who we are it's about them being entertained
That was beautiful Love love love thank you
I love you guys and your work.
LMAO these guys had me rollin. Beautiful, brilliant humans and message 100%. Big ups!!!!! Live long and Proper!!!!
"It was your honor.." hahaa love that.
keep on...keepin' on...!
"The first step is admitting you have a problem". So true. What's a house? Hahaha
P.s. respect... to the 1st people...
Good job
19:30 that shirt is just fabulous all of them are pretty tight though but the one in the middle is taking me there that is totally rocking
That really is an idea worth spreading...
I love your humor.
You freaking people. Hahaha.
These guys are hilarious.
❤️
This is AWESOME.
I loved the videos, but I wish you guys were more prepared for your presentation. #LetDown
Yes, I agree.
..so we know bobby, who is the other guy, seems his intro was " Outshown"
🌈💜💜💜
You guys need to tighten up your presentation skills in order to better connect with audiences not familiar with the 1491s. I'm not saying that to be negative I'm saying it because I think it's true and I'd like to see you all keep growing and succeeding.
Ryan Barber 🙄
but what is the other guys name?!
Was that Dallas at the end of the Represents clip? 😂🤣 ..or was it William Knife Man. 😆
Allllll the YES's!
Once you teach everyone every race about how everyone is indoctrinated by media then you can make a change to your behaviour. As a sober observer also a woman single mom you see the correlation between people’s behaviour and what’s happening in the media, what is shows. Like I realized I was not going to play the part of the “drunk Indian”. Drunks in every race are capable of great violence. I chose at a young age not to drink the genocide drink, i don’t lord over anyone because of my sobriety though. Our people are people who were given a raw deal and had our lands, resources and territories squandered by the genocide beneficiaries. I would go on but I’m a busy mom grandmother ❤
I don't know you but I just want to honor your work and everything that you do, Grandmother. ᏩᏙ
“...from America.” 🤣😂😂
Brother sing us a song…
Native Penn & Teller ;)
🌈🌈🌈💚💚💚
the colonial oppressor needs to be saved by indians
Love those guys but I did find them to be slightly belittling to the Canadian crowd🐒
Turtle Island
I'd say they're nice guys who live in a weird social environment.
LOLOL
Bobby is yummy... white girl love you....
Lol
Don’t say Pow Wow. Say Ceremony words matter
That was not funny at all.
Painful to watch after a minute. Stop trying to be big budget comedians and just be natives. Scripts are good but be like the Marines, improvise.
I spoke out of my @$$. Routine up to 2:08, flat. Everything afterward! Great!!!!!
I learned of you through the University of Alberta
Keep it going guys
